Walking up the steps to Everly’s apartment, I push the door open and call out to her, “Everly!” I got no answer, and Valarian ducked off to his room, and I could hear Zoe coming up the steps behind me. Walking through the place, I walk into her room to find her uniform on the bed. As I walked back to the living room, Zoe walked in, dumping Casey’s stuff on the table.

“Have you seen Everly? She didn‘t answer when I rang on my way here,” I asked her.

“No, she was in the restaurant earlier; I thought she would be here.” Zoe shrugged.

“Maybe ask Tatum, wasn’t he on guard duty today?” Zoe asked while flicking the kettle on

“No, he had to go to a border patrol meeting today,” I tell her when Zoe picks up her phone. “A h, she has gone on a run at the reserve,” Zoe says, and I walk over, snatching the phone from her fingertips. The text message was sent two hours ago. My heart skips a beat, knowing the borderlines aren’t secure.

“Watch Valarian,” I tell her, taking off and jumping over the guardrail on the balcony. Landing on the ground, I raced toward the back end of the Hotel. I had been ringing her for over two hours. She shouldn’t have been gone that long, she told me herself. She can’t last long in her wolf form.

I ran for the back of the property and heard Zoe call out to me, but I didn‘t stop. Instead, I hit the gate that hard it flew open and smashed into the fence, Sniffing the air for any sign of her as I run. I find her scent coming to a log before reaching into it and pulling out her bag. I opened up the mind link, ordering all my men to this side of the border to find her as I frantically looked between the trees.

“Everly.” I scream out to her. My chest squeezes painfully as something feels like it is tugging, goosebumps rising on my arms, and I just know something terrible has happened. I didn‘t even get three steps before the shift took over, and I was racing through the forest, looking for any sign of her. Cursing myself that she wasn’t marked because I would have found her in seconds. Partway through the woods, I heard a scream, and my stomach dropped.
