I rushed through the trees like wind as I ran towards the Alpha house.

My mate was in trouble and my one goal was to find him. I tried not to panic too much, but simply try and focus on the issue at hand. We have a connection, so finding him shouldn't be the problem. But if I was going to make this work, I had to keep my head straight.

I contemplated asking Clarissa for help. She is, after all, an expert at tracking. Deciding that I could use all the help I can get, I mindlink her.

~"Clarissa! My mate is in trouble. I need you to help me find him"~ I pushed through her link without warning. She replied immediately.

~"He's your mate. Doesn't that make you the best to find him?"~

~"Yes, but I'm sure I'll find him faster with your help...Please Clarissa. I know you're not his biggest fan, but I really need your help"~ I pleaded desperately.

The level of worry I felt made me know that I'd do ANYTHING to have him back with me. It took a while for her to answer, and when she did, I was already at the Alpha house and making my way to our room.

~"Okay I'll help you find him, but your mate's pack has the strongest border patrol in the country. Even with my incredible discrete skills, the chances of me getting caught is high. You'll have to call them off"~

~"No. Meet me ten miles of the pack border to the north at sunset"~ I decided. ~"I don't want to put the pack in panic that their Alpha is in trouble when I don't know the full situation as yet. Besides, I intend to be back with Niall before sunrise tomorrow"~

~"Noted."~

I quickly cut the connection to her as I grabbed an overnight bag. I threw random essentials in it as fast as I could before pulling my hair in something that resembled a messy bun.

I discarded Niall's t-shirt and sweats from my body to replace them with a grey tank top with my black thick leggings. I grabbed my old duty belt that Luka gave me for my fifteen birthday. I never thought I'd had use for it, but Luka always knew I was a fighter. I just never embraced that side of me.

Swiftly making my way to Niall's weapon room, I ensured to stay careful and out of sight. The last thing I needed was questions being asked.

I quickly equipped the belt with various knives, daggers and a single silver whip. I left space for a weapon I planned to grab later as I ran back to my room with nothing but determination in each step, focused on my one goal.

Of course, finding out everything about my dad, his past and my blood was still a priority, but it all had to be put on hold until I found Niall. After all, if I know everything and still don't have my mate, I'd be more incomplete than ever. He was my number one priority.

I snatched the bag from my bed, throwing it over my shoulder as I dragged on my black trainers. I ensured the laces were secure before sitting up; but I almost had a heart attack when I noticed there was another body in the room.

"Roxy, my gosh you nearly killed me" I threw my hand over my heart as I recovered from the shock.
