The Alpha's Mate ON HOLD TILL JAN 2025

Chapter 47

CARSON

After explaining everything to Jenny, I gave her a few moments to let everything I had told her sink in. Her face hardened but blank.

While she was quiet, my anger was tipping over. Lynx wanted to find them and kill everyone who was out to get our mate. All we want is for Leah to return and be safe, even if it means being outside the door if she never speaks to me again. At least then, she would still be in the pack with us.

A mind link came through from Zain.

"Where is—" I asked.

"I can't seem to locate her," he said. "I have been running around checking places she could be, as she is known to look after the wounded, but no one has seen her."

My mind raced. There was only one place she could have gone. "Check the cells," I said. "If she were in on it, she would have gone to Paul."

Zain growled. "Would she be so stupid to—" he said.

"I would if my mate was there," I muttered, cutting him off.

"I'll check," he said. "But what do you want me to do when I find her with him?"

"Place her in a cell next to him," I said, feeling angry. "We can integrate them once we have dealt with everything."

"Okay," he said and closed the mind link. I looked over at Jenny, who was staring at me.

"Zain can't find your mother," I blurt out before she could ask me what was happening.

"She may be helping pack members," she said. "That's what she always does when there has always been an attack. She used to be a nurse."

I stared at her. Lynx came closer but said nothing.

"Zain couldn't find her where she usually went," I murmured, making her look at me as her eyebrows scrunch together. "There has to be a logical explanation for this," she said. "She wouldn't harm a child, let alone her granddaughter."

I didn't believe her. After everything that has been going on, everyone has their own beliefs, and the older generations have theirs. If her father didn't persuade her mother to do anything, she may have the same sordid beliefs as him.

The room was quiet. An image of Leah flooded my mind. I needed to know if Josh was closer to finding where she went.

I opened a mind link to him. "Josh, have you found her yet?" I asked desperately.

Josh was quiet for a moment before he spoke. "I followed her scent, and it led me to the nearby human town," he said. "I just arrived and going to look around to see if anyone has spotted her."

I let out a sigh. "Let me know what you find," I said. "Jenny and the boys are here with me in the office. We uncovered that the rogue attack was a premeditated attack."

"What do you mean, premeditated?" he asked. "What has been going on?"

My eyes move to Jenny, who seems to be deep in thought.

"It seems that the rogues had a target," I said with a low growl. "Leah."

"What?" he growled. "Leah? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Zain found a photo of her and some clothing of hers on some rogues he found," I muttered.

"Who would—" he said but stopped abruptly.

"Josh," I call out. "You there?"

Silence met my head, which made Lynx come forward to listen. "Josh," I called out.
