Alpha Prince Eclipse

Thinning

Eclipse, with his eyes blazing with fury, gave his father, siblings, and Raja a scorching look, sending shivers down their spines. His rage was palpable, and he was seething with anger, but somehow, he managed to maintain his composure. His family had never seen him so mad before, and the intensity of his fury was unnerving.

Despite his simmering anger, Eclipse maintained his silence and began walking towards the Southeast side of the lifeless forest. His family followed him in silence, sensing that any misstep would provoke him, and they would face the full brunt of his wrath.

As they walked, Eclipse's demeanor felt familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. They could not recall ever seeing him this furious, to the point where he was not even talking to them or venting his anger. His silence only added to their unease, and they wondered where he was leading them but they prayed his patience doesn't thin out but clearly his patience was thinning.

After two hours of walking, the men were exhausted, except for Eclipse, who showed no signs of tiredness. They continued walking for another twenty minutes, and suddenly, they found themselves standing in front of a beautiful greenhouse. The greenhouse was filled with flowers of all colors, and it stood in stark contrast to the lifeless forest that surrounded it.

The sight of the greenhouse in the middle of nowhere left them puzzled. It was like a white dove standing amid dark clouds, and they could not help but wonder what Eclipse had in store for them.

Eclipse's voice was barely above a whisper as he asked the question that was on everyone's mind. The room was silent except for the sound of Eclipse's labored breathing. His eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, and it was as if he was trying to bore a hole into her soul.

The woman looked up from her desk and raised an eyebrow at him, her expression unreadable. Eclipse's tone was dark and menacing, and his words left a bitter taste in the air. It was as if he wasn't speaking to her but to someone else entirely. His eyes blazed like an inferno, and his companions shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other.

After what felt like an eternity, Eclipse finally broke the silence. "Where did you keep my mate?" he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.

The woman sighed and leaned back in her chair. She knew that Eclipse wasn't there to chat and that he would not leave without an answer. The others in the room wondered where he drew his patience from because the Eclipse they had known for years was not a clearheaded man when someone he loved was in danger.

"Your mate is on the run with my lord and lady," the woman finally said, her voice calm and measured. "They went towards the west coast."

Eclipse's eyes widened, and his companions exchanged glances. They knew that the West Coast was a dangerous place, full of treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather. The fact that Alazne was on the run made it all the more perilous.

Without another word, Eclipse and his men exited the room and headed towards the west coast. They knew that tonight was bound to be colorful, but they didn't mind as long as they could get back to Alazne and get Eclipse to calm down before things escalated.

After ten minutes of walking, they heard the sound of frantic footsteps in the distance. Eclipse's heart raced as he realized that he was getting closer to his mate, and he quickened his pace. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins as he prepared to face whatever lay ahead.

The thick fog obscured his vision, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint the source of the footsteps echoing around him. Halting in his tracks, he signaled for his companions to follow suit, their movements shrouded in the eerie mist. Closing his eyes, he focused solely on the sound of the approaching steps, discerning the underlying tension in the erratic heartbeat and the swift intake of breath emanating from the left.
