Chapter 152

It was clear I was agitating her. But why? I watched her cringe at my words, but stand firm, her back straight and her shoulders erect. I knew I wasn't going to get anything further from her, so I made my rounds once again throughout the common areas of the resort and by walking the hallways. Anywhere I thought she might be. I couldn't find any offices near or off the lobby. It didn't make any sense. I even let my wolf surge close to the surface to heighten our senses in the search.

My hunt left me once again empty-handed. There was absolutely no sign of Elise anywhere and I fought back the bile as it rose into my throat and worry consumed me. The best I could hope for was that the woman behind the counter was telling the truth and she had left with an Uber driver, and maybe it had been longer than the lady had thought and enough time had passed to dissolve her scent in the air. I didn't really believe that, but it was so much better than the alternative.

Deciding on a new course of action, I headed back to the front desk for what felt like the millionth time. This time I would ask her to describe the Uber car. That way, I could begin the research towards identifying whoever had picked her up and where they went. I would demand to see video footage of the front door to confirm her response, because I knew I could not trust this woman, but also because it would hopefully give me a time and direction to continue my search for her.

With my wolf still so close to the surface, I took a big whiff as I approached, and I smelled her. I smelled Elise. It wasn't the freshest trail, and it wasn't leading to the front door, either. I walked around the side of the front desk and pushed past the lady as she attempted to stop me in protest. My heart leapt with joy at the smell of my mate

"You can't be back here," she demanded, culling my enthusiasm. "I'm calling security."

"You do that. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear how my girlfriend was not picked up by Uber, and that you are lying. Perhaps they will be more helpful in locating her than you are."

I saw her sway, looking simultaneously furious and scared. The mixed scents she was putting off told me it was a little of both. I continued on the trail I had picked up, ignoring her constant protests at my back.
