The Wolf In Me

Nora's POV

I found myself breathing heavily with all the anxiety I was enduring, scared that he would leave the spot where I left him, or worse, get caught again from our enemies.

I rushed quickly through the corridors in the hopes of finding a wolf around.

I opened most of the bedroom doors in the hopes of finding the closest wolf I could get to, but they were all out in search of the child and Biorn.

"Shoot, what now?!"

Frustration started to get the better of me as I knew that I was now responsible to bring Mason back home and fast. Mei and Luka were both in no shape to shift and get to him so I was stuck in the thought of what would be best to do.

Coming into a sudden stop just at the stairs I leaned my body over the railings, breathing back some oxygen I lost during my run in the long corridor. As my foggy brain got clearer I realised that there was always someone else that rarely leaves these grounds. I smiled to myself, now getting a little excited.

"Steph," I breathed move once again, knowing that whatever happens, you would always find her in the kitchen, polishing the dishes, or getting them dirty.

Running as fast as my legs could go down the stairs, I barged into the kitchen finding her back bent low, placing a pie into the hot oven.

"Steph, Steph, quickly, it's Mason. I found the spot where they took him. I told him to hide in a bush, close to where us girls went out for some fun last time we went for some drinking, remember?" I breathed, watching Steph's change of expression.

Her eyes shot at me, as they were open wide. She removed her oven gloves quickly and started to get rid of her clothes.

"I'm on it Nel," she quickly changed into her beautiful brown wolf and got past me, out of the packhouse and into the woods.

"Did I hear properly Nelly? Did you find out where they took our boy?" The alpha king asked feeling emotional, limping towards me with his hand over his wound.

"Told you I won't stop until I find him. Steph is on her way to him. I told him to wait. I hope those f***ers won't manage to get to him again," I frowned, watching him get teary-eyed.
