All Chapters of Alpha Enzo: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Enzo’s POVMedic Emila’s mental voice was flustered as it slid into my head via a mindlink. ‘Alpha Enzo! Alpha Enzo!’I groaned, rubbing a hand over my drawn face, and sat up. I’d stumbled upstairs to my cold, empty bed, noted that someone had been in here but not cared enough to investigate, and dropped face-first onto the covers. My bed smelled of Scarlett, like pine and wild berries, and I’d inhaled deeply. Twenty-three. It was the oldest I’d ever been, with the most cause to celebrate ever – my first birthday with my mate by my side – and yet it had been, by far, the worst.I sucked in another long, slow breath now. Her scent was still here, but fainter now, blurred with my own. My heart panged.‘Yes, Emila?’‘Scarlett isn’t in the medical centre. Please tell me she’s with you.’Fuck. Suddenly, I wasn’t tired anymore. I bolted upright and shot out of the bed, dragging a t-shirt and a woolly jumper on and shuffling into my discarded pair of jeans. I shivered at the touch of the co

Enzo’s POVDawn came, and there was still no trace of Scarlett.The search parties came and went with the same updates: areas of the forest had been disturbed, but the same evidence could mean that a deer or bear or even a real wolf had run through the undergrowth, trampling it and leaving behind strands of fur. I paced anxiously at the front of the pack house, waiting for Bennett to tell me something of use.I’d considered beating him up a fair few times to get the answers I needed, but Davin had reminded me that he could yet be useful. “He’ll be more inclined to help if his face is intact,” he’d said. I’d just pulled a face in return.I was pretty sure Bennett already could be helpful, but he was withholding information on purpose. Grinding my teeth, I chose to ignore him for what felt like the thousandth time that night.“There is something,” he muttered, his brow creasing. “Something… dark.”Okay – I couldn’t ignore him entirely. I huffed and shifted around so that my back was fa

Enzo’s POV“He’s got us chasing our tails, Alpha.” Marla leant across the table, eyebrows raised, and flicked me with the end of her ponytail. I jerked up and frowned at her. “This has to stop.”I leant back in my chair, my brow still furrowed, until the front legs came up off the floor. We were in the meeting room downstairs, regrouping after yet another failed search party. Davin had sent scouts with another update – Bennett was travelling through Wales, a part of the world that had no connection to the Wolven Realms whatsoever. We’d expected him to go to Australia, Russia, or Argentina – not the United Kingdom. He’d spent a week in Scotland, a week in England, and was now tracking some old, long-forgotten legend through the Welsh valleys.I’d kept searching closer to home, aware that Bennett could be leading us away from Scarlett’s real location. Our search parties were spreading further and wider across the Canadian Realm, dipping down towards America. If one of the Chosen had her

Enzo’s POVWe packed up and headed out. I finally felt like we had a real lead to follow – not another fruitless adventure designed to set us back. Every time Isaak had brought us a suggestion before, it hadn’t panned out.But I had a good feeling about this one. A damn good feeling.My heart swelled at the thought of finding Scarlett again. The mate bond pulled me, aching, out into the woods surrounding my pack house. There was hope in the air for the first time in weeks. We were going to find her today. I just knew it.“You’ve been giving that medical apprentice a lot of responsibility lately,” Marla remarked, pulling me back. She smiled at everyone that passed us, nodding at them to go ahead. “Are you sure it’s a good idea?”“He’s really been stepping up since Scarlett was taken.” I waved at a Warrior Wolf as she strode past. She grinned back brightly and gave me a double thumbs up. It seemed that everyone was feeling the positive energy I’d successfully convinced myself was in the

Enzo’s POV‘What the Hell do you think that means?’ I asked Marla through a mindlink as we sprinted home in our wolf forms. ‘He didn’t fly?’‘I’d say that bit is pretty self explanatory, Enz. He didn’t catch a flight.’‘Please, Marls, don’t be cute with me right now.’‘Sorry.’ She flicked me with her tail. ‘But I don’t know what it means. We’ll find out, though. Besides!’ Another flick. ‘Davin is back. You’ll find out more from him, I’m sure.’I gritted my teeth and nodded sharply. She was right. Knowing that didn’t mean that the knot in my chest loosened at all, though. It pulled taut as we wove through the woods. I was being pulled in two directions, desperate to find out what had happened to Davin and aching to follow the trail in the hopes it would lead me to Scarlett.I’d sent my subordinates to follow the trail, of course, but they hadn’t seemed convinced and I wasn’t sure they’d follow it to its end as I would. My whole mateship with Scarlett had been hard on my entire pack –
