Chapter Four

The Pack's wolf in the Hotel’s Pov

When Alpha Ethan told me he smell a wolf scent that doesn't belong to our pack in our territory, he growled with anger that controlled him.

We never had any rogue or whoever escaped our watch. Our pack is the strongest in this country. Maybe there are 17 packs all around the country but, still, ours are the strongest. Our Alpha can smell rogues scent even it was 10 miles away from him. He's also so smart and strong. But besides that, he's also friendly. That's why I can be his friend even when I'm just the pack's new Sentinel.

Alpha asked me to get that rogue and I sniffed the air and find out that it ran into a hotel. When I came into the hotel, my nose burned. These perfumes were all mixed up together and weaken my sense! Well, I still can smell that Wolf scent but then again, I wasn't accustomed to the human World. Not like the Alpha, Beta, or Delta.

The three of them need to be near the Human world because they usually have something to arrange, like business deals, etc.

I wasn't even a Hunter who is skilled at tracking. Sentinels like me only worked for patrols in the wood with Hunters. I was only good at fighting. I wasn't accustomed to tracking.

But then again, I need to do anything the alpha ordered me. He told me it might be the best test for me since I was just appointed as a new Sentinel last week.

I sniffed the air, brushed aside the perfume scents, and just focused on the rogue's scent. 

I finally found out that it was from the hotel's restaurant.

I asked the waiter something so I can easily search the rogue.

"Your name, sir?" The waiter asked me.

"George," I said still looking in every direction of the restaurant.

I didn't see anyone who looks like a rogue here. And the scent getting weaker with foods scent all over the restaurant. Perfumes, foods, agh! It was disturbing me!

When I walked around the restaurant, I finally smell the wolf's scent and it was near me. I saw a girl with pancakes but she didn't move. I was just about to ask her or just touch her shoulder when I finally smell a wolf scent.

"I think I found what I'm searching for," I said and walked toward the back of the restaurant where I smell the scent.

I looked over the glass wall to the swimming pool. I lost track of the scent. 

"What the hell! Where's that rogue going? Alpha will punish me!" I growled in a whisper when I felt the scent become weaker again.

I smell it again and it came from the kitchen. When I walked in, a waiter asked me to leave but I just walked past him but disappointed when I saw that what I followed was a meat scent.

It's not a wolf! 

Damn it!

My wolf growled inside me and he told me the scent of the rogue was long gone.

I stormed out of the kitchen with anger boiled in me. Alpha will be so pissed!

Autumn’s Pov

I woke up in a very awesome bed. It was a good sleep since I don't need to cover my body with dirt or leaves. Well, it's the best sleep I've had since last year.

Last night's dinner was also awesome! I ate a steak with mushroom sauce. Yum!

Usually, I only got some pieces of bread or when I'm lucky, I got chickens for a day and they asked me to wash over the dish. Some of them even want to hire me but I rejected all of the offers because I was on a search for my mom there.

Thinking about it again, how did I escape a wolf yesterday? is it because the dirt and leaves scent still on me? 

I glanced at the clock beside the air conditioner and it's 2 in the afternoon. Wow! I slept like a dead man. The breakfast hour already passed so I would just wait to eat the dinner. 

After all, I was already accustomed to this, only eating one time a day. It wasn't because II and Audrey didn't want more but only getting a meal already made us feel blessed. It's been almost a year since I had this routine and I was just feeling lucky that I was still alive in this situation.

I got up and looked at the mirror. I needed a shower. I looked like a hobo on the street! My hair may still look okay but I hadn't taken a shower for a week! The last time was in a very big lake and it was cold. And, of course, no shampoo or soap.

Before showering, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked so much thinner than a year ago. My collarbones popped up like there's no fat and muscle around it, and so did my ribs. I know I'm not that skinny, but I already have a thin body before and this reflection hurts me because I looked so much thinner than I used to be.

I walked to the bathroom and brush my teeth first then washed my face with the soap on the sink. I looked around and get on the shower tub.

It was nice and warm. I shampooed my hair like 3 times with the vanilla shampoo until I decided to wash my body with the vanilla soap. The warm water was really helping me relaxing my body. I'm so thankful to Alicia. 

I got rid of the dirt on my body and when I felt it was all clean, I search for the towel on the towel ring.

I looked at the mirror again and combed my Auburn hair then walked out of the bathroom.

Gosh, it was so good and refreshing, really!

I made a cup of coffee that was served on the side of the TV table. I took a sip of it and relaxed my body back to the bed without any clothes on.

I decided to wash my clothes too. It was my only clothes. I hadn't washed it for a week now.

Ha, you bet, I was very disgusted about that but what can I do? I couldn't make money to buy more clothes. Some pack members might found me if I stay in one place for a long time.

I turned the TV on and searched for something interesting to watch.

When I was on my pack, I would love to watch Cartoons with Sammy, but I can't find any cartoon on this TV so I just watch whatever caught my eyes.

My eyelids weigh like tons now. But, just when I was about to shut my eyes for the next sleep, there was some 'bang' on my door. 

It was really a bang! Not a knock!

(A bang is when someone knocks on your door with all their power and it sounds like bang bang - nevermind)

I got up from the bed and peep from the peeping hole to find out who's outside. I found out it was a guy I don't know with anger filled his face. And he was so handsome! But I can't see him clearly enough because the peeping hole was a little too high for me.

BANG! BANG! That guy banged the door again and yelled, "Open the door!"

Maybe he just banged the wrong door. He must be searching for his girlfriend who cheats on him.

I slid out a towel from the wardrobe and used it to cover my naked body.

I unlocked the door and clicked on the knob. I slipped my head between the door and asked, "Hello, anything wrong?."

Just after I finished my word, a strong wolf scent came from right in front of me, from the 'handsome' guy and I heard a big angry growl from him.

Oh no no no!
