Some time later, his mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Mia.
"Aire's missing! I'm trying to call Boss, but her mobile phone is off," Mia informed with a panicked voice.
Tyrone closed his eyes and sighed. He had turned off Raine's mobile phone so that she could rest more.
"I'll handle it. I can contact her. Don't worry, Mia, I know where she is… If she's not back in thirty minutes, call me again," Tyrone instructed with some reassurance.
Immediately, he finished buying all that he needed and went inside the car. Stepping on the gas, he rushed to go back to the hotel to reach out to Aire.
Meanwhile, Aire was following Boris and Lyne outside when her Daddy reached out to her.
[If you don't come back home within thirty minutes, I will personally pick you up and send you back this instant, Aire.]
Aire's body tensed as she froze in her tracks. She was currently in her wolf form, secretly and quietly following Boris and Lyne to a tunnel leading to the secret passage for Convel Territory.
Aire answered with a whisper of protest, but she had to follow her Daddy Tyrone or else he would definitely send her back that instant. She had an agreement with him, but it looked as if her first attempt had already busted her.
[Alright, I'll come back in thirty minutes, Daddy. I promise. I'm just out to play with other wolves, checking out if I can bring back one more reliable pet for you too. You see, I can't ask uncle Levi or the rest to accompany me. You're busy too, so I went out on my own.] Aire explained.
[This is so unacceptable. I told you not to go out on your own! You're too stubborn.]
[But you don't need to worry, Daddy. I already told you that nothing or no one could harm me while I'm here. I'm basically untouchable, Daddy.] Aire reasoned.
Her Daddy Tyrone already researched all the details about the Voyager's Watch and its guardian, so he should know by now that Aire won't be in any danger at this time. And even if she would, it wouldn't ever cost her life. However, there will be consequences if she ever altered something during her stay in this era. That was why Daddy Tyrone was so against her marking her mate right now. However, she was unable to do it in the future… simply because her mate was already far too strong and was someone who couldn't be easily fooled.
Tyrone felt like his head would burst at any minute. Aire was too stubborn to listen to him.
[As promised, I will definitely come back in thirty minutes, alright? Don't worry too much and just enjoy your time together with Mommy.]
[Be sure you won't be late, because I mean it… I will send you back to your own time!] Tyrone warned even as Aire reassured him that she would come back.
Her Daddy Tyrone was the only one capable of sending her back. She still had five days left, but her Daddy Tyrone could send her back earlier if he ever wanted to. She had just begged him to allow her more time on the clock too. Only those who bore the Mark of the Crescent Moon had the authority and ability to use the Voyager's Watch… and she and her Daddy bore said mark on their bodies.
Aire sighed. She really needed to finish the reason why she was in this time in the first place…
She continued with her tracks as she began to catch up with uncle Boris and Lyne.
'That's it!' Aire mused from a distance.
Uncle Boris and Aunt Lyne were having a discussion… a debate rather… so Aire quietly and carefully sneaked past the two and immediately went out. She chanced upon a fall, and she immediately jumped. The place was already looking quite familiar to her. She was unable to use the main entrance since she wasn't a part of the Convel Society yet at this time, but she smirked as she still knew the many changes that would happen to the territory once her mate ruled it.
She giggled, recalling her handsome mate, who would stubbornly disobey the elders. He constantly insisted that he didn't need a Luna to become a powerful leader. He had wanted to break the norm for werewolves regarding the Mate Pull. He didn't believe in it, and he even swore that he would never acknowledge any Mate Pull he would experience.
Aire, however, felt that Mate Pull the moment she laid his eyes on him. He only laughed at her when she pointed it out, stating she was merely hallucinating since he would never acknowledge such a thing. After all, he was ten years older than her. He even joked that he wouldn't wait till she became a lady and would rather accept an arranged marriage from the Elders just so that she would stop bugging and following him around.
Even if it was a joke, Aire knew that it was still possible. He was a King, after all. And even if he stubbornly disobeyed the Elders countless times, it was still inevitable for him to have a wife to bear his cubs… Or if he still insisted on not having a wife, then marking him was still a viable solution so that he would suffer. Unless, of course, if he followed that Mate Pull that would point him at her. That was why she resorted to time traveling like this. Once she marked him, no one would also dare take him as a husband!
'Just you wait, cause I'm coming for you soon,' Aire thought as she quietly walked through the forest. She thought of it numerous times before coming to the decision. She was way too determined that nothing could stop her.
Despite the unfamiliar trees, Aire could still easily navigate the familiar area. She paused as soon as she reached the training grounds of the warriors where her mate once diligently trained at. After all, he was ambitious, one that wanted to lead the werewolves.
'Regan,' Aire whispered as an enthusiastic warmth crept up inside her. Soon enough, she spotted the ten-year-old boy. He was taking his training seriously, unlike the others. She knew she only had a few minutes more to spare, so Aire ran to him.
"Who are you?" Regan asked in awe at the little pup who suddenly approached him. It was the first time he had seen her.
[I'm Aire. Can you help me? I'm lost in the woods and found this place…] Aire talked to him telepathically.
[Don't you belong to a pack here?] Regan asked.
[I don't… Please at least help me out of the woods. I'll be fine then. I just need to be on the main road.]
[Alright, let's go.]
[Wait, please get me a dress for a twelve-year-old girl? I would like to transform into my human form.] Aire requested.
Regan scratched his head but quickly heeded her request anyway. He ran and promptly came back with a dress he had gotten from his sister. Aire asked him to turn around, then quickly transformed into her human form and put on the dress.
"You can turn around now…"
She chuckled in her mirth, seeing how Regan's mouth drooped at the sight of her.
"Let's go?" Aire commented.
Regan, who had finally gathered his senses, led her to the main road.
They soon reached the main road, and Aire hugged Regan as she whispered, "Thank you…"
With a breath, she sank her fangs between his neck and shoulder. Regan was caught off guard as the pain surged through his body.
"What did you do?!" he helplessly whispered in terror.
Aire simply smiled at him, "I just marked you. You're mine, so wait for me and don't play around with other women, okay? See you soon, Regan."
Regan, with parted lips, could only watch as the little girl transformed back into her wolf form, running away like a flash.

A/N: You probably know by now what kind of mutant Tyrone is? Do you remember Regan, Decan's son, who couldn't accept how his father lost the Throne Challenge at Chapter 42? I might write Aire and his story in Volume 2 of this Book. That's just a plan... I have to finish the other books yet.... haha
