Tyler
"Are you guys sure you don't smell her scent anywhere near the pack's territory?" I mind-link my guards, but they all answer the same. Em is nowhere to be found. I can't sense her either. Her smell is not close, I have a very good smell, being able to smell her or anyone in a three-mile radius, but I can't smell her. I can't reach her through mind-link which means she either closed me off or something happened.
I decided to call Damian again. I had already called him a few times, but it had taken me directly to voicemail. Hopefully, he answered now. He finally picked up and I immediately began asking him for Emily.
"Are you sure? How long ago did she leave?" It's been twenty minutes since Emily has been gone. I was on the phone with Damian, ad he sounded concerned as well as soon as I told him I was looking for her. My suspicions were correct, Emily was with Emma. "I'm sure she'll be there soon," he replies, but I can't help feeling something is off.
"Look, it shouldn't take her that long to get back, but I can send out some of my people to make sure nothing happened to her on the way?" he suggests. I turn to Blake who is now looking at me with a w0rried expression as well.
I can't shake off this gut feeling that something was wrong. It doesn't take long for her to drive back, but I can't wait around for long without doing something about it. "No. It's fine, Damian. I'll go out and look for her myself." I say, but he continues to insist on sending some of his guys. "Fine. If you'd like to. I would very much appreciate it. Thank you, Damian."
"Don't mention it, Ty. She is Emma's niece, which makes Em part of my family. It's the least I can do. I won't let anything happen to her. You can count on me." he says as we say goodbye and hang up.
"Something's still not right, alpha. I can feel it." I said as I bit my bottom lip nervously and tapped my foot on the floor as I sat next to him.
"Maybe she just went for a drive. Relax, she'll come home... Eventually." he says making me pissed off.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked irritated giving him a murderous look.
He chuckles, nodding his head and returning to his pile of paperwork. "Look, don't tell me I didn't tell you. But two years ago, I knew that making her forget that she had ever met you was a big fat no-no. I told you, man. And once your ass discovered you couldn't do the same, you went around spying to see her... I'm not surprised if you slept with her multiple times and made her forget."
"I would never do that to her. I mean... I did go and see her, but she never knew who I was because I never approached her." I said, feeling guilty inside. "I always made sure I stayed out of her view. She was close... A few times, but she never saw me. I just... I needed to see her. I wanted to make sure she was ok." I said, hanging my head in shame.
"I love her, Blake. I'd die if anything happened to her." I said, feeling like an asshole for not being truthful to her from the start. I should have told her the truth from the beginning, but I was scared that she would hate me and not want anything to do with me.
"I need to get out there and look for her. She doesn't know these areas as well as I do. She can get lost if she makes a bad turn or something." I say, making him put his pen down and look at me. He knows I'm right. No one knows these woods better than me or him. "You're right. I should go with you. We already wasted time, we should get going before the sun goes down completely." he says as he stands from behind his desk and buttons his cufflinks.
A knock makes both of us turn as Liam comes in, panic in his eyes. "Boss! Alpha... We have a problem." he says coming in looking between Blake and me and handing a paper to Blake.
He reads it, and something tells me it's bad as I hear his wolf Xander growling, making his eyes dark.
"What's going on?" I demand to know, taking the paper from his hand. My heart drops as I read the note.
"Tyler Slate, we have your mate. If you want her back alive, bring Hope to the following address. Anything happens to her, we'll kill her." my heart dropped, and Asher immediately fought for dominance as he hears that our mate's life has been threatened.
"Ty, we'll get her back. I promise." Blake says as he begins to, mind-link the guards and warriors.
"I know you will, but not before I rip their fucking heads off for trying to harm her. They have no idea who the hell they're messing with." I say, fuming with anger.
"Ty, you need to stay level-headed. Remember, they are not just going to hand her to us. If they want war... They'll have a war, but we need to think one step ahead." Blake says, making Liam smile evilly.
"Liam, you know what to do," he says, looking at me and beginning to open his gun closet.
"Yes, sir. Time for a little fun," he says, hooting as he skips and turns quickly.
"You get her home safely. We'll make sure to pay them a thank you." Blake says as we both come out with our gear on.
The letter reeked of Harou's scent. He had gone from an old friend to an enemy of our pack overnight. This was not going to be easy. He was older than us, possibly stronger, but we have an advantage over him, much more experience, and stronger bloodlines than him.
