Mason

I ran as fast and as hard as I could to get to Jara. I have no idea what happened, and I’ll figure that out later, but for now, right this moment, I need to know that my mate and my pup are safe.

Title of the document

It takes an hour, the longest hour of my life to get to Alpha Davis’s pack. Long before I get there, I can smell the smoke, just before I pass into his pack lands, I can see the flames licking up at the sky.

Seth and I have been running side by side the entire way, both of us anxious to find out if our mates and pups are safe. As we cross Alpha Davis’s territory, we howl our arrival and instantly we’re surrounded by wolves. I’m not surprised, but it’s good to know that the pack is secure. I have no idea if they still have people in the packhouse, if some have died of if they got everyone out.

I lift my nose in the air and almost as one, Seth and I turn in a direction to the left of the packhouse. My eyes focus in on Jara, and I race to her, barely slowing as I shift before I have her wrapped in my arms. I bury my face in her neck, soaking in her scent and calming my fear that something had happened to her.

“I’m okay, Mason. Your pup and I are okay. The guards got us out. Elijah made sure that we all made it out of the house safely.”

I just nod, not letting go of her. My entire world is in my arms and if anything had happened to the two of them, I’m not sure I could have survived it. I’m not sure I would have wanted to.

Finally, I pull back, keeping my hands on her shoulders and looking her over. I can smell the smoke in her hair and on her clothes, but I don’t see any injuries or burns and I don’t smell any blood.

When I’m satisfied that she’s truly alright, I tuck her under my arm, unwilling to let go of her after just having the worst hour of my life. I look and I’m surprised to see that Layan is clinging to Elijah’s back like a monkey. I’m even more surprised because he’s stark n*ake*d, but Layan doesn’t seem to mind.
