Bonded By Destiny

Chapter 33

'What's even more weird is that there hasn't been any scent of Theo on the entire pack lands. ' Tyron had exhaustively carried out a protracted scour all around and it ended up being futile.

'Curt, did you find anything?' They had been combing out the borders, trying to see whether anything bizarre was going on.

'No alpha, nothing stood out. ' My thoughts went back to what my mate had been telling me for the last couple of days. Deep down I knew she was making a lot of sense, but again, were kidnaps supposed to be coherent?

'Jayson, how is the search for Addanc progressing? ' Only a disdainful taste filled my savory glands as the name made way past my tongue.

' We traced a trail of blood we have a  plausible reason to believe belongs to him at the northern boulder. ' That was by far the most promising news I had heard since he vanished 5 days ago.

'He crossed the border because the drops of blood were present on the other side. ' If he was outside the pack lands, we needed to act swiftly and try and uncover how he even got inside undetected, and without any breach on the border. That way we could occlude his entry back into the pack.

'Alpha, what if the blood is another trap? ' Tyron posed, doubtful of the discovery.

'Did the blood have any scent on it? '

'Nothing except a whiff of the normal smell of iron. ' Jayson shook his head, squinting his eyes trying to remember whether he caught any different scents.

'Anything similar to the smell of it when Tamara clawed his face? '

'One and the same, it had no identifying particular whiffs other than the metallic smell. ' Jayson confirmed, closing his eyes briefly.

'The search for Theo, patrols for anything unusual and the tracking of Addanc will continue, until every single of them is Fructuous. Is that clear? ' capitulating wasn't on my mind, as an alpha I knew I wouldn't stop until everything had settled down.

'Yes Alpha. ' The group responded, then proceeded to exit the meeting room one by one, finally leaving Jayson and I alone.

'Janette just mind linked me, they are waiting for us to go pick them at your parents place. ' They were to be constantly around my father and the former alpha of the pack. He had chosen to have them around, with some guards positioned in his place for additional protection.

'Right after we discuss about the letters I sent, inquiring about the supposed Kidnap message left on the note Pete presented. '

'I'm assuming none of the surrounding packs issued such a threat? ' My beta leaned on the boardroom table, resting his chin on the back of his raised hands, with the elbows resting on the table.

'I inquired as far as the northern side where Mountain pack dwells, and every single reply was the same. '  I shook my head in disbelieve at my uncle's blatant lie.

'No alpha had any idea who Theo was and none ever wanted to be anywhere close to Addanc. '

'So something is not adding up about that note. ' Jayson tilted his head to the side, and lifted one of his eyebrows. His eyes were fixed on my Father's portrait that hang on the wall direct to where he sat.

'Something about My uncle's aura is quite unsettling. ' Tamara had pointed out quite a number of times about it and I had taken time looking into it.

Jayson hummed, nodding his head twice. 'Janette is always afraid of being in the same room with him. She even says he's an hypocrite.

'I think I should ask Tamara to check his cloud. ' Only after the words had left my mouth did I realise in a trice about exposing Tamara's secret. It was her right to tell and I had just ruined that.
