Roman's POV

My Ken says if I hear the voice again, I should tell him. I smile at that and continue eating what's left in the plate. I hear a low growl and I look up at Ken. With the expression on his face, my guess is that he's talking to someone through the link. He then stands up and I frown, still looking at him.

"I'm sorry, Roman; I have to head down to the office. Something came up." He says.

"Okay." I say with a nod and look away from him. I want to tell him to stay but I don't want him thinking I'm clingy. I missed him this morning and now he is going away again. I guess this is the life of an Alpha's mate; boring.

"Knock, knock, knock."

I look up and find that I'm actually alone in the room. I didn't even hear Ken leaving. I look at the door wondering who it might be.

"Come!" I shout and the door opens revealing Dean. I smile as I push the tray away since I'm done eating.

"Kenny sent me up to tell you not to go anywhere and stay in the room until he comes to take you down with him." Dean says and I give him a nod. I'm not sure what I will be doing here all alone. Couldn't he have at least let me go out and play somewhere?

"What's the pout about?"

"I be alone, no know what to do." I whisper and bite my lip as I try to think of things I can be doing.

"Um, I can stay here with you if you want."

I look at Dean curiously, wondering if he’s pulling my leg or not. After a minute of me staring at him and him not taking his words back, I smile. It seems he really wants to stay up with me and I can use some friend. He's my Ken's friend and now I can borrow him as mine too.

"Okay. I think play, no sure now."

"How about I give you some time to think of the play? I will just go down real fast and drop the dirty plate in the kitchen. Hopefully when I'll be back, you will be sure of what to play." Dean suggests and I agree. He picks up the tray and leaves the room. I sit on the bed and think of what to play with Dean when he comes back.

True to his word, he comes back on time. I already thought of what to play, so I tell him about my choice. One has to choose a word then we form other words using the selected word letters. At first, Dean shows his disinterest on my choice of game but then as we play more, he begins to like it. We do that for some time, and then he teaches me how to play a card game.

"~H-help...~"

I remove my gaze from the cards and look at Dean. Did he say something? With the smile on his face and totally concentrated on the cards, I don't believe he could have said it though. The voice was weak.

"~Help me..~"

"You hear?" I ask Dean when I hear it again.

"What?"

"Uh, voice."

"No, I didn't hear anything." He says and looks at me oddly. I look away and concentrate back on the cards. Maybe it will go away.

But I hear it again, louder this time. I feel a tug at my heart and so many emotions. I feel insecure, scared, sad and angry. The emotions are too overwhelming that I wish to find the owner and help them and I know where exactly I can go. I stand up and walk to the door but before I open it, Dean stops me.

"My Ken."

"He will be back soon. You should wait a bit longer." He says and I shake my head.

I can't wait any longer. I had to see my Ken right now. He promised to escort me where I want to go. I have to go and help the owner of the voice.

"No. My Ken, now." I insist and move to open the door but he stops me again.

"Just wait a bit. I will contact him to be here." Dean assures me and I nod then sit back on the bed. I swing my legs and count in my head as I wait for my Ken.

I think about the voice and its owner. I wonder what kind of help they might need from me. Maybe they need a friend to talk to. Or they want me to share food with them. CJ once told me that there can be people somewhere who are in need of so many things such as food and friends. I smile knowing I can help someone for the first time. My Ken has to be here fast.

"Coming?" I ask Dean as I get up from the bed and stand before him.

"Um, he said he will be coming soon." I nod and turn away from him.

Suddenly, I feel him getting too close to me and as I'm about to look back and ask what is it, I feel a cloth being forced to my nose and mouth. I begin to struggle but the hold he has on me is strong. I inhale whatever is on the cloth and I can feel myself getting weaker and sleepy.

"I'm sorry, Roman. I got orders from the King." I hear Dean's voice before my eyes shut completely and I get limp in his arms. My mind not yet shut down as I think of what I heard.

King? Orders from the King; my Ken. With that thought, my mind shuts down.

Lyn's POV

"...doing it again."

"I gave you an order. You couldn't have denied it even if you wanted and it was for the best of him."

"Well then don't make me do it next time, Kenneth."

I groan as the voices gets loud and louder each time. I open my eyes and look around the room. I recognize the room but it looks different today. After inspecting to note the difference, I realize something. I'm not seeing things through Roman's vision but my own. But why did Roman let me out? He does not do that willingly unless if something triggers it.

"What the fuck!" I groan as my head pounds and I hear footsteps coming closer to the bed.

"Roman, you're up." Ken approaches me with a cup of water and some pills. I've never been a fun of pills but I receive them since I know it is for Roman's own good.

"Did he just say 'fuck'?" I look at the owner of the voice then something clicks in my head. I growl at him and he steps back, away from me.

"I think you should leave us, Dean." Ken says and Dean gives a bow and leaves the room. "How are you feeling?"

"Like shit!" I snap at him and get off the bed. I collect some clothes to wear since I need to take a shower, then I head off to the bathroom.

"Will you stop walking around and talk to me?" Ken shouts as he follows me but I ignore him and close the bathroom door in his face with a lock immediately.

I can't believe he ordered the beta to drug me so I should fall asleep. He scared and disappointed Roman that he had to bring me fourth and let himself hide inside us. I am absolutely mad at our mate for thinking of such a thing to do to us. No matter what the situation was, he has no right for that stunt.

I take a shower fast then change into the clothes I picked. I too I'm not sure of what the voice we hear is all about but I know I have to go and help. And I'm definitely going, whether someone is escorting me or not. I don't really give a damn.

"I know you are not, Roman." Ken state as he begins following me around again since I've just exited the bathroom.

"Congratulations on your discovery." I say dryly.

"Where the hell is Roman?"

"Oh, I don't know! Perhaps maybe he doesn’t want to talk to our backstabbing mate." I answer him with sarcasm.

"Who the hell backstabbed him?" He asks seriously and I'm tempted to laugh heartily in his face. Why the hell is he even asking such a stupid question?

"Look here, Ken. I'm not Roman, true and it’s the fact that I'm not Roman that absolutely says I don't take nonsense. Why would you drug your mate?" I stop walking and turn to him as he too, stops walking.

"It was necessary. I was talking to my mother and I didn't want him seeing you yet." He explains and I shake my head in disappointment.

Roman might have not yet figured things out but I have. I like to know the environment I'm living in. I know my mate's mother doesn't like us but Roman still hopes he likes us. The only problem concerning me is that the mother might corrupt the son and I wish that doesn't happen.

"So you were protecting him from your mother by hurting him?"

"Uh, yes?" He answers and I sigh. I stop looking for a bag I was looking for and sit on the bed. I motion him to come and sit beside me.

"Ken, I know you're mother doesn't like me, us. But I don't really care. You are what we need and it doesn't matter what she thinks. Stop choosing between me and your mother, make a decision. As our mate, when I called for you, you should have come to us immediately not drugging us. You disappointed Roman and he is hiding from you. I don't like Roman to be sad so don't make him sad." I warn him and get off the bed as I spot the bag. I carry it and walk to the door.

"Where are you going?" He asks while standing up from the bed. But instead of answering him, I give him another warning.

"Oh, I forgot. If your mother ever lays his hand on Roman, I will tear him to shreds." I give him a smile and exit the room.

I walk down the stairs and go inside the kitchen. I manage to collect some food in the bag then go straight out the front door. I look around the place and gaze at the cars. I don't know how to drive and not sure where the car keys are kept. I sigh in frustration as I think of what to do now.

"Need some help?" Ken asks from behind me and I give him a nod. I have no choice but to use him for now.

He leads me to one of the cars and we get in. I put on my seatbelt and hold the bag of food closer to me. I give him the directions to where we are going and he drives off. I'm still mad at Ken but I know it’s best to have him go with me. I don't know what to expect and where exactly we are going. Two is better than one and Roman needs him for protection. I won't be around for long and now that I have at least cleared a bit about what happened, Roman will be out soon. And I know what I have to do.

Roman's POV

I groan as I slowly open my eyes. The car is still moving and my guess is that we are not there yet. I know we are going after the voice and that my Ken is driving me there. I feel a headache when I think or try to remember of how I left the room earlier. All I remember is me waiting for my Ken to come and him offering to give me a ride to where I'm going. I know something is missing but I don't know what.

I dismiss that as I think of where we are going. The thought of helping someone brings a smile to my face. I remember the food I collected and hold it tighter to me.

"Can't wait!" I tell my Ken with a smile.

"We are almost there; just a few minutes to go." My Ken replies to me with a smile of his own. We are almost there, finally.

Keep in mind that Lyn and Roman are one person but kind of different ; wolf and human.
