Chapter 31

Alpha Nicholas

We’ve been searching the woods for over 2 hours and I’m starting to lose hope when Storm suddenly starts growling and a scent hits my nose. It’s faint but I’d know that scent anywhere, it’s my mate. “I can smell her!‘ I shout causing Lily to almost fall over a fallen tree truck in her rush to reach me, luckily

for her, Shane had his eyes on her and managed to stop her.

“Where is she?” I try to focus on her scent but it’s still too faint to figure that out, Storms kicking up a storm in my head snarling and growling with the need to find her while my chest continues to burn. Can wolves have heart attacks? because I think I may be having one.

‘Her scent is faint but if I can smell her then she can’t be too far away.” My brothers and Lily start talking but I ignore them as I try and focus on the scent and where it is. “Storm can you feel where she is?” With him being a wolf his senses are even better than mine.

“So now you want to be near her?” Here we fucking go. “Don’t start, Storm. Not now. I know I’ve fucked up and you can batter me about it later but right now we need to work together to find her. She could be hurt.” He grunts but I know that I have his attention. He doesn’t say anymore but I can feel him coming to the front of my mind ready to do what he does best. Hunt!

I feel my feet move faster as he pulls me towards a rougher patch of the woods. The ground is just rumble and fallen tree branches but I guess that also means that it’s a pretty good place to try and hide if you want to. “Her scent is getting stronger!” Storm growls sounding both worried but also a little excited. I stop immediately turning to face the others causing Shane to almost walk into me. “Storm says the scents get stronger but it’s not for me. Why is that?” He gives me a strange look and seems as confused by that as I am.

“That is strange.” Will comes to stand closer to me and it’s only then that I notice that Sophie is with him. Where did she come from? I know she’s been hurting since her mate’s rejection but I’m grateful that she’s here helping us.

“Maybe she’s in wolf foam. I’ve heard that can lessen the scent for a mate?” She says but I’m not so convinced by that.

Yes, I’ve heard the same being said but I’ve never known anyone to experience it. “What if something is wrong with her?” I go to say what if she’s injured, even dying but one look at Lily stops me. She is already going out of her mind with worry, she doesn’t need me adding to it. However, it’s too late for both Storm and me, my thoughts have embedded themselves into our brains, and it’s like a knife to the heart.

I don’t want to talk anymore so instead I take off once more and soon hear everyone following me. We walk for a few minutes before I suddenly realize that the scent is getting stronger now, so we must be going the right way. We keep trudging through rough ground and pushing back old overgrown trees which only slows us down and I make a mental note to get this place cleared up asap. Why is it in this state to begin with? Yes, the forest grows at its own pace but I still have my Warriors take care of it when it’s needed yet this area looks like it’s from a different world.

I don’t realize that I have stopped walking until Lily’s voice catches my attention and I see that both she and Shane are standing in front of me and she says the one word that makes my knees feel weak. “Bonnie?” Goddess, please tell me we’ve found her. I finally get my feet moving but the moment I stop beside Lily, the wolf standing in front of us takes off running in the opposite direction making my insides churn.
