Arranged Navy Alpha novel Chapter 16

I sigh and run a hand through my hair,"Any advice?"

"The best advice I can give you is don't leave. Laken, your mate, is here. Your family, is here. Don't leave it all behind because a little bit of low self-esteem problems. I assure you that everyone has it at times."

I smile and nod but then let it slip from my face. What do I do now?

I couldn't just leave the Navy out of the blue. I was one of the highest ranking officers and it was a hard position to replace.

My fleet admiral was to meet me and a few others at the airport. Hopefully when I updated him on the situation, he would understand, for he too is a werewolf.

Mitchell pulled up to the drop off curb, outside of the airport. The silence between us was thick, but he clapped me on the shoulder.

"Son, I really hope it works out for the best."

I nod and open the door, closing it behind me. As I grab my two duffel bags from the back of the hummer, I pull of my cap. My navy outfit was pretty cool, so I wore it a lot.

I hit the car as I hiked the two duffels up my shoulder and started towards the check in.

"Hello, welcome to Delta Airlines. Are you here for the flight to Atlanta and connecting flight to Istanbul?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes." I answer simply.

She gets me all of my tickets ready, taking my luggage, and checking my passport and ID.

Before I know it Im standing in front of my Boss and a few more guys who were called back in. They must be just as pissed as me.

"Alright boys, I'm sorry about you getting called back but we have a schedule. Let's get moving."

We all grab our things and start to the terminal. Just as the lady grabs my ticket though we hear a commotion outside of the terminal.

"No please you have to let me in!"

"I'm sorry ma'am but you are going to have to leave. You have no ticket. Either buy one or leave. Please I do not want to have to call security."

"No please you don't understand he can't leave!"

Why did that voice sound so familiar? Well obviously I had an idea of who it was considering my wolf howled from within.

I could hear the tears in Laken's voice as she begged to see me.

"Please! No! I can't let him leave without letting him know!" she yells again as I hear her struggle.

Silence.

We were totally enveloped in silence.

Austin didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything. It was all hard to take in. One moment I'm running out of a room crying, then he's saying good-bye and I find out he cuts, then I'm chasing after him to the airport. I was almost to late, if I had taken just a few more minutes he would have been gone; possibly forever too.

Looking over I see that Austin is very tense. His hands clenched around the steering wheel. God why was I so stupid. How did I not see it before? He has needed me all this time and I didn't even know it.

I couldn't help the tears that started brimming over, so looking for comfort I grab ahold of Austin's right hand. Sighing heavily, Austin starts pulling the car over to the side of the dirt road leading to the pack house.

He turns off the car and sits back but still doesn't say anything. I myself didn't say anything either as I sobbed pitifully. I cry and cry till I can't cry anymore. I look over and see that Austin still hasn't moved or done anything.

"Say something!" I yell at him.

He doesn't even flinch.

"Say something!" I yell agin.

He sighs before reaching for the keys again. Getting really angry I grab the keys out of the ignition before he can and throw them out my open window. Probably not the best idea.
