Ignorant of the potential threats, Sterling dashed into the depths of the woodland. From a distance, Nate saw him and started to go after him. He caught the child, who was writhing as though he was in a trance. With gasping breath, he yelled, but Nate quickly calmed him down."Sterling, please calm down. It is I, your father's beta, Nate."Nate realized something was seriously wrong when the boy turned to him and gave him a very tight hug just by hearing the whisper. He sat beneath a massive tree and waited for Sterling to settle. The boy accepted the water that Nate had offered and watched as his countenance changed over time."Sterling, why were you running through the forest by yourself?" The youngster drew back at the inquiry, anxiety taking over his innocent face once more.But Sterling was unable to respond."Were you at your dad's place?" When he inquired again, he received only a small head shake in response. "Would you like me to give him a call here?"Sterling let out a sca
Shouting Sterling's name, Kamara fled in desperation, but he was nowhere to be found. She was too weak to lose him once more. She rushed mindlessly into the forest, and the farther she ran, the more the trees engulfed her surroundings, making the entire area gloomy and enormous.Kamara halted, glancing around before yelling. She put her palms over her face, closed her eyes, and watched as scared birds flew through the sky.She was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. She opened her eyes and lowered her hands slowly. Sterling's hands were too small to fit, and she could smell that scent a hundred miles away.She turned her head gently to gaze at him and muttered, "Louis."Kamara's natural reaction was to turn away as soon as her eyes met his, but she stumbled over a tree and fell to the ground. Louis raced to aid her, saying, "Kamara."She scrambled on the ground as if she had to defend her life, yelling, "Don't come near me.""Kamara, you know I'm not capable of hurting you." Louis's exp
Nate seemed to be keeping something from Caiden. He was worried and did not want to look into his eyes. Still, he held back from inquiring as to what was happening. Undoubtedly, Nate had good cause to be wary; in addition to being a skilled investigator, he was a friend, and Caiden felt he could rely on him.He saw Kamara sprinting towards him and halting breathlessly by his side just as he was about to get back into the car and drive away. Caiden could even begin to imagine what Kamara intended.She needed a long moment to collect her breath before responding, "Wait, Caiden. What are you going to do about Louis?"The alpha became enraged again at the inquiry. He gave her a fierce glance and then answered."Kamara, what interest do you have in this?" He spoke in a chilly, dry tone. "Are you planning to save him?"She felt insulted and said, "I don't want to save him, Caiden," but she also saw how angry he was over the whole thing. "All I want to do is make sure he stays away from me."
Caiden had a desire to murder Enzo for the first time. He had never felt anything like this before in his life. Since they were little, Enzo had been his best buddy. Both his happiest and darkest events had been shared with him. He was present both when Kamara departed and when he fell in love with her. Not only did Enzo help him after his father passed away, but he also gave him support when he was crowned the pack leader. No one else there knew Caiden as Enzo did, and perhaps because of this gnawing appreciation in his heart, he let him go, pulling away to keep himself from going completely insane again."What the hell do you mean by that?" However, Caiden was aware of what he wanted to say."You will never see Kamara again because I'm going to destroy her right in front of your eyes." With a laugh that suggested he enjoyed seeing Kamara struggle, he said."You wouldn't dare do that," he pushed back. You must first go through me.""You're not supposed to say that to your wife's brot
Nate undoubtedly disagreed with the alpha's choice. Knowing that Enzo and Louis were too close, it was too dangerous to abandon everything and go with the group once more.His statement, "It's not a good idea, sir," shocked Caiden. "You know Louis is close by, ready to take Kamara away, so you can't leave the pack at this time."Caiden had to acknowledge he hadn't given it any attention. He hadn't been thinking about anything at all, actually. Caiden has lived for Kamara ever since her return to his life.He sobbed, "Since Kamara came here, my life has completely changed. All I've done is shield her and support her as she flees from me."Nate observed Caiden, who appeared to be deep in thought.Nate put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm here to help you, Alpha. Remain in the pack and take pleasure in your kids' company. I swear to return with positive news."Caiden seemed unsatisfied even so. Especially when it came to his kids' protection, he didn't want to assign this duty to
Nate trailed behind Matt as they made their way down the lengthy hallway. He was looking forward to that meeting, where he would undoubtedly learn the complete truth about who had given the order to abduct the children. Sweat trickled down his face as he paused in front of the door leading to the small prison section. He was aware that in order to obtain the data he need, he had to be efficient."Are you certain you don't want me to accompany you inside?" Matt asked, observing Nate's nervousness. He recognized the nervousness written all over his face since he knew him so well.Nate removed a tiny handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe away his sweat before saying, "I have to do this on my own." "Even though I haven't worked as a detective in a while, I still know how to do a good job."Matt would never question that, but Nate also had some secret techniques in his sleeve to expedite things. He was surprised to find himself in the visiting room when the gate was opened. The
When Jessie heard Caiden's voice, she stopped running toward Enzo's hiding place through the streets of the pack. They were fighting about the night Kamara's parents were murdered, but Jessie had to put herself in a different place so Caiden wouldn't smell her and find out she was there. She waited for Caiden to go for a long while while hiding in the bushes. She started sprinting towards Enzo again, like her life depended on it, as soon as the alpha left."You would have met your beloved alpha if you had arrived one minute earlier." Jessie was usually annoyed by Enzo's remarks, but she was too worried to respond to his provocations.She gasped, "I have something more important to say. I'm sure Caiden didn't let you know that Nate is going to the human town to look into the kidnapers of the quads."Enzo tightened his jaw in exasperation. Enzo was unaware of the type of wolf that Nate was, but he detested him for unintentionally replacing him. He clenched his fist and said, "I'm going
"Assure me you'll exercise caution." With nervousness, Matt met his old friend's gaze. "I feel like they'll find you to keep the truth from coming to light."Still, Nate was aware of the risks. He was aware that Enzo or Jessie would have discovered his inquiries by now and would be preparing an attempt on his life. He glanced at Matt, instinctively knowing just what to do.He said, "I will be careful," mainly to console Matt. "But you have to make sure Caiden knows about this in case something happens to me. Matt, make that promise to me."He promised, giving Nate a quick embrace in return. "I will hold them accountable for their actions toward Caiden's children."However, Nate was aware that Matt's life was in jeopardy. Instead of dealing with evil humans, he was up against vicious, strong werewolves who will kill to protect their secrets. He gave Matt one more glance, put the tapes in the bag he was carrying, and walked away. In addition, he had to walk several kilometers to get to
