Chapter 180 - 172: I need to see her

Inside, although the night was already late, Erick could see the lights were still on in his father's office. He took off his jacket and hung them on the coat rack. And before he went to his room to freshen up, he went straight to his father's office and knocked on the door.

Seconds later, he could hear his father's rough voice telling him to come in.

Erick opened the door and saw his father behind his desk, working.

He quietly walked over and sat in the seat in front of his father's desk and waited patiently, not wanting to disturb.

After a while, his father stopped what he was doing, placing the paper down on the table and looked at his son, who was looking back at him.

Lachlan cleared his throat and linked his fingers together, placing his arms on the table. He then said, "So, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

Erick quickly talked about Bastian's purpose of visit and what Dane had found out about the young man.

Lachlan was slightly surprised when he heard that Bastian too actually has some lycan blood in him, albeit small. Nevertheless, it was still a lycan blood and that he also possessed one of lycan's most powerful abilities, which was time.

Lachlan realized that Dane's instinct was very strong since he could easily detect and sense the abilities and the true origin of Bastian's. He himself could not see them at all.

Erick continued to talk about how Bastian also has these 'dreams' which actually wasn't a dream but rather a 'flashback' of what had happened in the past.

Lachlan was further shocked by these findings. It was really unexpected. He resumed listening to Erick's talking.

Soon after, Lachlan caught the whole gist of what was currently happening. He decided to have a meeting soon with his Beta and the elders in regards of this. And most likely, a meeting with Alpha Reidrich, as well. Lachlan believed that the 'flashback' that Bastian has been seeing will give them a clue of who was the real antagonist that was behind all of these. And he would need help from the other packs.

Once Lachlan had heard everything from Erick, the latter stood up and was about to leave the room. However, he stopped just before the door. As if he had just recalled something, he turned back around and said, "Dad?"

Lachlan was planning to continue working when he heard his son calling him. "Hmm?" he said, looking up.

Erick took a deep breath and let it out. And then he said, "So, we went to the Cairin Oaks earlier."

Lachlan nodded, waiting for him to continue. He knew since he had told him earlier before. Fergus too had told him about Erick's plan to join as well.

"Well, when we were passing the woods where we used to encounter the warlocks and rogues… Dane was acting… somewhat… edgy."

"Edgy?" Lachlan repeated, unsure of what his son was trying to say.

Erick nodded. "It happened before. Whenever Dane feels like his soul is nearby, he would get a bit edgy. Like he would stirred around in my mind as if there was something."

Lachlan narrowed his eyes. "Did he say anything to you after that?"

Erick shook his head.

"We'll talk more about this in the morning," Lachlan said. "Now, you should go to bed. You have class tomorrow."

Erick nodded and after saying goodnight to his father, he left the room, leaving Lachlan lost in his thoughts.

The next morning.

Erick was preparing to go to school when he heard the doorbell rings. At first, he did not think much about it as he presumed that it must be Hamish coming over to get a ride with him.

However, when he went down the stairs, he was surprised to see a familiar figure standing and talking at his house foyer, together with Hamish.

The petite curly brown haired girl turned around when she heard Erick coming with a bright smile on her face. She waved wildly at him and yelled, "Hey Erick!"

Erick visibly cringed at the sudden yell. "Do you mind not shouting, Jeayan?" he said sarcastically, picking on his ears as if it had hurt.

Jeayan just ignored his question as she continued to smile at him. "I'm hitching a ride with you to school," she said.

Erick frowned at her. "Then go stand by the side of the road and hitch a ride then," he said.

Before Jeayan could say anything, Luella had heard his words and smacked his head from behind. "That's no way to talk to a young lady! Apologize now!" she scolded.

Erick grabbed the back of his head and winced as he turned around and looked at his mother with aggrieved eyes. "B-b-but…"

"I did not teach you to talk like that so apologize!"

Erick pouted and looked at the smug looking Jeayan and mumbled with unwillingness on his face, "Sorry."

His mother smacked him once more at the back of the head. "With sincerity!"

Just as Erick could apologize, Jeayan grabbed her phone and went to press something on it. She then pushed her phone towards him and said, "Apologize again with a loud voice this time!"

Beside her, Hamish just looked on with a small smile on his face, apparently finding the whole situation funny.

With great reluctance in him, Erick had to apologize loudly, much to Luella's satisfaction and the other two teenagers' delight.

Before going off to school, Luella invited Hamish and Jeayan over to eat some breakfast.

The three of them were eating their breakfast with Luella pampering them, serving them with more food. Luka was lying down beside Erick's feet. But he would jump up on top of Erick's leg as if he was asking for food, which the latter would give.

Once they were done with breakfast, the three of them said their goodbyes to the Luna and Luka and went out of the house, heading towards Erick's car.

On their way to school, Erick asked Jeayan, how come she was here. Although he was just joking earlier, it was not as if he did not welcome her to join him and Hamish to go with them to school.

Erick was slightly surprised when Jeayan had answered that her father had to attend the pack meeting at the packhouse. He did expect that his father would want to have a meeting with the top packmates in the pack. He just did not expect that he would do it straight away.

The three of them into a comfortable conversation when suddenly, Erick felt a tightening in his heart as dread and worry consumed him. He thought it was weird that he had this sudden feeling as if something bad had happened.

Hamish, who was sitting next to him in the passenger seat, noticed Erick's abnormality, so he asked what was wrong.

Erick rapidly blinked his eyes as a lone tear slid down from his eye. "I'm not sure…" he said, looking confused. He was shocked to feel tears coming down his face.

He quickly drove to the side of the road as he rubbed his eyes furiously, still confused about his sudden emotions.

"Did something happen to Dane?" Hamish asked again.

Erick turned to look at him, his eyes red, brimmed with tears. "Not that I know of," he replied.

Jeayan leaned closer at Erick, looking at him in the eyes. "This is weird," she murmured. "Are you sure you're alright? Are you positive it's not you who suddenly feel like crying?"

"Why would I even want to cry?" Erick barked.

Just then his eyes suddenly turned to amber as his teeth suddenly lengthen to fangs. Both Hamish and Jeayan watched in total shock as Erick suddenly half transformed to Dane. It was their first time seeing this.

"Amber… I need to see Amber…"
