Chapter 89 Gabriel’s Pain (Nikolas POV)

Bane followed deep into the woods, tracing Gabriel by his scent. I was worried I did not know his wolf had much strength until I saw the bruised tree barks and broken branches he left in his wake as he pushed through the forest.

Maybe I should have held my tongue and not told him anything. But how could I when I knew Fredrick could use it to his advantage?

“We have to compel him to stop,” Bane said, realising we might have to keep running like this all night. I had to go home. I had a battle to prepare for and things to do. This was not good.

I could understand Gabriel’s pain, but he had to save it for the battlefield. I ran a bit when I still did not have his wolf in sight. I stopped in the woods, and Bane tried to feel for Gabriel.

It was the emotions of a wolf ready to do damage.

I would say that it had a thirst for its enemy’s blood. Gabriel had crossed a bridge, one I knew he really crossed. This had pushed him over the edge.

As much as I knew compulsion was disrespectful, from alpha to alpha, it was necessary because I wanted him to be in his senses.

Gathering my strength, I sent my energy with the firm command, “Stop!” I felt him halt.

Not wanting to lose him, I hurriedly followed his scent until I could see his wolf.
