“He understands right? He won’t fuck this up? If he gets caught it will be a fucking disaster for us!” My worry leaks out as I rant aloud, with it being the next day and I still hadn’t slept since the day Tessa had gone missing.
My eyes burned for me to rest but my pride was far greater than anything else. wouldn’t stop until Tessa was back with me and that was final!
Kion better pray that his little spy manages to get her out of there safely or it will be his head on the line…
There was no option for failure with this for if they get caught it would be detrimental for everyone involved!
“Kene bro, I think that you should try and get some sleep… it’s still morning and they won’t get out of there until tonight anyway. Worrying isn’t going to get you anywhere and neither will being a tired Alpha with no energy – you already aren’t making sense.” Anthony suggests, as I wave him off and continue to mumble inaudible to myself from irritation and stress.
“I’m serious here Kane! Look at you! You’re a mess!” Anthony presses his concern further, as I suddenly halt in my steps to face him.
“Even if I wanted to get some sleep, I still wouldn’t be able to get it!” I grumble, knowing that it was true since that was exactly what had happened to me
throughout the night…
All I did was lay there wide awake and worrying over shit that I can’t currently control!
–
“You at least need to try for a couple of hours, we will stay awake for you look at it like that!” Seth adds in, as I nod and groan out loudly.
Maybe they are right… I don’t quite feel myself… I feel like a mad man who is wanting to rip my own hair out from the root!
As Anthony and Seth’s truthful words sank in, a part of me knew that they were right. I couldn’t afford to be a sleep–deprived mess when the time came to taking important action.
I needed to be on high alert – especially here in Russia. A lack of sleep will only help me to do the opposite of that I wasn’t a fool.
But the thought of resting while Tessa was still trapped in Dimitri’s pack gnawed at me like a relentless beast continuing to taunt me. I felt guilty for allowing myself to rest when she was currently in a far worse position than me…
“I know that I need to rest!” I admitted finally, “but I physically can’t, not knowing that Tessa is still stuck over there living through fuck only knows what sort of hell – my mind just won’t shut off regardless of how tired I feel!” I complain to them, as they listen intently.
Anthony and Seth both nodded in understanding before Anthony made a move towards a small wash bag of his as though getting an idea…
He unzipped it, seeming to rummage through the contents before revealing a small packet of pills to me in his fingers.
“I have something here that might help. One pill is strong enough to knock us wolves out for at least some hours to get the sleep that we need in stressful times – I gave Seth one last night too!” Anthony explains, walking towards me with it in hand as I take it to inspect.
“Yeah and it worked a treat! I feel much better today after getting rest – you need it too Kane!” Seth chimes in, backing up his point as I take the pills and
eye them curiously,
I hesitated, uncertain about taking such a strong medicine the same day that Tessa and Erin were going to be transported out of the centre and brought back to me if all goes well that is!

I can’t afford to miss anything important!

“How long will I be out for?” I test, unsure of the decision but knowing that I still had the whole day ahead of me anyway.
It would help pass the time a little quicker too I suppose…

“It depends really on what your body needs but it should only be a few hours similar to a regular sleep. What was it like for you Seth?” Anthony shrugs and
explains, before asking Seth for his review.
“I was out for a good eight or nine hours! Fell asleep just before midnight and woke up around nine today?” Seth thinks back, as I instantly begin to count
how many hours from now nine would be.
“So if I take one right now I should be back up at around six or seven tonight?” confirm, knowing that this was the time frame the girls would be
beginning their exit.
Anthony sighs, nodding. “Yeah but we won’t hear from them until after then too you should wake up for them getting in contact before they are brought
here.” Anthony adds, as I hum and think on it.
I could feel the exhaustion laying heavily on my shoulders – my mind growing sluggish and my emotions jumping up and down like a kid high on sugar.
I can’t keep pushing myself on like this, with my eye bags practically screaming and begging for me to let them rest. I looked dreadful and I felt it too!
“Ok fine! I’ll be in the room, but make sure that things don’t go to shit when I’m under – I’m trusting you both!” I warn, as they both nod and seem relieved
at my response.
Clearly they can tell just how much I needed a rest which only made matters more concerning. If everybody around me is begging for me to sleep then it must be clear just how much I was actually struggling – running on sheer drive and adrenaline!
“Here take this!” Seth adds, tossing me a bottle of water as I catch it and crack the lid off – placing one of the tiny pills in my mouth before washing it back
without another word.
It’s done. I’ll be forced to rest now even if I don’t want to… but it’s for the best.
With a final nod, I turned and headed in to my assigned room in Kions mansion, locking the door and windows for my own privacy – knowing that Seth and Anthony had the spare key to the room in an event of an emergency (which was a procedure we always stuck to whenever we travelled).
I removed my shirt, trousers and sneakers before pulling back the thick duvet cover – climbing under to prepare myself for my forced nap.
This had to be done… I recognise that… since I wouldn’t be any use to anyone without getting some sleep. I had done everything I could at this point to get Tessa back and now it was in the hands of someone else to make the first move for us.
It was the safest option – despite the fact that I didn’t like handing over control to someone else but in this case,
it was for the best.
Of course I was worried sick about the millions of things that could go wrong in the operation – a major one being them getting caught in the escape – but I couldn’t let those thoughts consume me.
I was only driving myself mad at this point, by worrying over a variety of different scenarios that most of which would never even come true.
I just didn’t want to lose another important female in my life… not after losing my first mate to the virus… Tessa was the only spark I had found since then and I wasn’t willing to give that up!
All I wanted was to see Tessa to tell her how sorry I am for giving her the silent treatment as a cruel way of punishing her for how she had acted at that shitty festival back home.
None of it mattered now. All that mattered was that she was safe and alive – back with me where she originally belonged.

That’s all I want…

The poor thing probably thinks that I hate her too and that I don’t want anything to do with her, which was the part that crushed me the most.
Tessa was trapped in there without the slightest bit of hope of me ever coming back to find her.
But little does she know that I’m trying that I’m right here in Russia and ready to strike and do whatever it takes to get her back. I’ll stop at nothing to bring her back to me and soon enough, she will know that.
With my thoughts continuing to swirl around like a tornado within my messy and tired head, I felt my muscles slowly begin to loosen up as the pill began
to take full effect.
My muscles relaxed, including my eyes as they slowly began to slide closed – as I fought to stay awake but found myself growing far too tired and out of
control.
My breathing slowed ever so slightly, as I tuned in to the soft whistles of the wind from outside using it as a lullaby to send me off in to my dream state.
It was working…
And with one last thought of seeing Tessa shortly after I wake, I fell fully under the spell of the sleeping pill and knew that it was the best thing to do for mine and everyone’s sake…
