“I couldn’t agree more, I tell him, just as I feel him outside the door. ” Quietly, I say, not wanting him to wake my mate.
He steps into the room, looking at Yara and smiling at her. I growl softly at him. He and I share a type when it comes to women. But I have no intention of sharing my mate with anyone and if he ever tried to take her from me, I’d kill him. It doesn’t matter how much I like him.
He looks away, knowing that I know he feels a pull to her. He can Iove her, adore her, appreciate her as his Luna, once my mark is on her. Until then, I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable with my Beta’s attention toward my mate.
You have some things to figure out with her, Alpha, he says, before Iaying the trackers on the bed beside me. I carefully pull my fingers from her hair and begin looking over the trackers Where did you find these?’ I ask, still talking in the mind link so we don’t wake her.’On her car.”
I stop, looking up at him. ‘All of them?
Yes. Some inside, although the key was where she told me it would be, and some outside. One in the trunk, two in the motor, one under the driver’s seat, and one shoved between the seats in the backseat of the car.’
I stare at the trackers, now deactivated. Five? Who the fuck is so desperate to get to my mate that they put five trackers on her car?
‘And her clothes were gone.’ I slowly look up to my Beta.’Scents?’
‘None I recognized. I couldn’t figure out which Alpha they worked for.
but we could definitely smell wolves. One of the packs did this. Someone is looking for her.’
I look back down at my sleeping mate. She’s been in a human university for several years. She could have gone to a werewolf university to study medicine, but she didn’t. She’s hiding and she’s been in hiding for a very long time.
I need you to do one more thing for me before you get some sleep. I need you to assign someone to go to the human medical school north of here. You know which one I mean?’
“Yeah, but isn’t she a resident? We need to go to the local hospital or medical center too, right? You want us to find her records and remove her from their system?’ he asks.
“Yes. We need to eliminate any trace of her before whoever is looking for her finds her.’
He nods then looks up at me. ‘Alpha, if they want her this badl…’I know. Eventually, they’ll come looking for her. Hopefully when that day comes, she’ll be wearing my mark. No one will ever take her from me, I’ll kill anyone who tries,’ I say.
‘The pack would too, once they know that she’s our Luna, he says. We both get lost in our thoughts for a moment, until I hear her sweet, sleepy voice.
“What are those?” my mate asks, looking at the trackers.
Yara—
I’m so tired, but my body is extremely uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep. I must be in some weird position. Did I fall asleep studying again?
When I open my eyes, I remember immediately where I am. I’m in Warren’s pack hospital and I spent more time in one night taking care of injured warriors than I’ve spent in all my days of residency at the hospital.
Since my senses are full of Warren’s teakwood scent, I know that I’m Iaying beside him on the bed. However, I smell Charlie as well, What’s strange to me is that neither of them is talking.
I carefully open my eyes and without moving, I look around to see that they are looking at each other. They must be using the mind link. I haven’t used it in years and even before that, I barely used it, not having a family or really a lot of friends since Alpha Solomon adopted me.
When I refocus on Warren laying in front of me, I see some mechanical devices laying on his stomach.
“What are those?” I ask, pushing myself up and stretching my neck and back before looking at the two men.
“These are tracking devices, Yara,” Warren says, watching me carefully.
There’s something in his look that makes me think that this is significant, but for the life of me, I have no idea what I’m missing. Maybe I’m just really tired.
“What are you tracking?” I ask, picking one up and looking at it. I’m a naturally curious person. Alpha Solomon found it to be a sweet part of my personality, but many people find it annoying. I like to understand things, to see them, touch them, smell them. I don’t particularly like taking someone else’s word for what something is. It could just be their interpretation of what it is which happens a lot in medicine.
“I’m not tracking anything.” When he doesn’t elaborate, I look up at him, setting the tracker back down.”Then why do you have them?”
~Charlie and my warriors found them on your car when he want to pick it up.
I look down at the trackers again, this time as if they are snakes that will lash out and bite me. I feel lightheaded as the realization hits me that this must be Simon. He found me, or at least found my car.”Whoa, Doc,” Warren says gently, sitting up and wrapping an arm around my waist. “Take it easy. You’re safe.” He somehow manages to pull me onto the bed with him, but I’m so focused on the trackers that I barely notice.
“Why so many?” I whisper.
“Someone wants to know where you live, where you go,” Charlie says, watching me just as intently as Warren is.
“Why do I get the feeling that you might know who did this?” Warren asks.
“I.. Shit! If he knows about Simon, he’ll never let me leave. I just need to figure out how to get out of this pack and get away from here without Simon finding me. I was right, he must have tracked me to the school. I didn’t notice anyone else, Annika and I didn’t smell anyone else around the woods when we went for a run, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t show up afterward.
“I have no idea why someone would be so interested in tracking me,” I say, unable to look at either Warren or Charlie. I don’t get the idea that either man is stupid, so I’m sure they know that I’m lying. I just need time to think. I need to figure out what I’m going to do.
“I see,” Warren says, and it’s obvious that he does know I’m lying. ” Well, someone is looking for you and since I’m in a pack war with multiple Alphas, I’m going to let my pack and patrols know that you aren’t allowed anywhere near the borders.””WHAT? You can’t do that!”
“I’m the Alpha of this pack. It’s my job to keep you safe,” he says. So arrogant!
“I am not your pack member. You don’t have to do anything for me,” I say, trying hard to be firm. I’m pretty sure it just comes across as snarky.
