In the Alpha’s Arms
Chapter 73
Dead Ends
Tell me you have something on her, anything. Cole’s eyes burned like rubies in the dimly lit gym. The please went without saying. His voice was hard but edged with a desperation that Alex could barely stand to hear. He didn’t know what it felt like to be in Cole’s shoes but to see his Alpha and friend, brought so close to breaking… he hadn’t seen it since Cole left his old pack. Alex shook his head, if Lita really was with Maxim, there was no telling what he’d do to her.
Cole began pacing, chest swelling in deep, chaotic breaths as he waited for Alex to say something worthwhile. His body rippled back and forth between shifting. One minute his face was human, the next Alex was staring at Midnight. Another blink and it was Cole again hut the elongated teeth and claus
Alex didn’t say anything. He knew Cole’s statement was thetorical in nature because if any of them had any leads, he would’ve been the first to know They certainly wouldn’t be standing here doing nothing. The mats were shredded to ribbons behind Cole and their remnants fluttered as he paced. Alex raked his eyes around the room, taking in the cracked concrete facing in several places. The sand littering the ground under gutted punching bags. The door to the back room was barely hanging on its hinges. He took a breath. His Alpha was destroying all their hard work.
“Cole you need to fucking run. You need fresh air, the goddamn rain, hell, you need just need to go outside, Alex growled softly, gently edging his Alpha towards the gym’s back door, “You haven’t let your wolf out in days. A feral wolf won’t help anyone. You need to be strong for when we find her…
Ace strategically strode through the front door so he and Alex were working in tandem moving Cole towards the rear. Ace stuttered mid step as he noticed the state of the gym then smoothed his face into indifference. They were crowding into Midnight’s space, a risky move trying to force Cole outside. But even if he shifted, at least he’d be running outside. It gave them a better edge to bring him back to himself
Cole growled and are secretly thanked the empty space. If he lost it, at least no one else would get hurt. All training had decidedly ceased until they found Lita so the gym was empty. No one outside of Alex and Ace would even step foot in Cole’s space. He had taken to sleeping in the back office for now, unable to stomach his room smelling like his mate. After thirty minutes of smelling and howling, he forced himself to leave their shared closet, retreating to the gym.
He hadn’t left since. And Midnight was too volatile to be around others, too unpredictable without his mate. He told Cole he couldn’t even feel the bond between him and Nyx. It had gone dark the night Lita went missing and he was half–crazed with worry. It was driving Cole over the edge because she was in his father’s hands,
“If I let him out he’ll kill something!” Cole’s voice was almost entirely snarling. “Tell me we have something useful!”
“You’re going to fucking kill something as it is, man let him blow off some steam!” Ace held up his hands as if in surrender, “You know we don’t have anything new… And you know I hate to tell you that. Cole’s roar shook the lights,
“We tracked down your leads on the packgrounds your father used when you were a kid. There’s been no sign of anyone living there for years. We don’t know where he set up his new home but we’re not giving up, Alex’s voice softened further, “We’re not going to give up on Lita. We just need a lead. Everything had been nothing but dead ends.”
“Everyone is restricted to the dorms until they’re released. It’s only us man… Ace’s eyes flashed red, pleading Cole to listen. Alex shifted beside Ace, his own eyes burning blue.
