Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 111: Rescue Part 1

“Something’s not right,” Santino said. Logan sniffed him and raised an eyebrow. “I don’t remember you wearing the perfume earlier,” Logan said. Santino sneered. “Ha – Ha,” Santino said. “That’s not what I’m talking about.” “What’s wrong?” Logan asked, smirking at the other male. Santino was definitely not in the playful, humorous mood. “I don’t know, I can just feel it. I think something is wrong with Serena,” he admitted. “If she was hurt, I would know,” Logan assured. Just like Serena had felt when he was badly injured, he would feel something similar if she was too. “No, I don’t think it is that,” Santino said, shaking his head. “Is this some freaky twin thing you are trying to tell me is going on?” Logan asked, raising an eyebrow. Santino sighed and shrugged, grabbing a beer off the nearest table. The celebration was winding down, but many of the wolves were still lingering, enjoying late night beverages and chatter amongst themselves. Logan had been getting ready to leave himself when Santino had come up to him. He looked Santino over, seeing that a couple buttons on his button-up shirt weren’t in the right holes. He’d definitely been having a good time. “She went back to the hospital,” Logan said. “You know how she can’t rest unless she checks on her patients. “Right,” Santino said. “I’ll swing by there on my way to my bed and see if she’s still hanging around.” “We did good work these past few days,” Logan reminded Santino. “We’re out of the woods now.” Santino nodded. He waved over his shoulder as he took off for the hospital.

Logan finished his own beer. Now that Santino had put it into his head, he was concerned about Serena too. He didn’t think there was a reason to be, but Santino had obviously been serious in his concern. The Alpha headed back to his house, leaving the event tent open for those that wanted to stay up later. Temporary accommodations had been made for the Moonshine wolves close by, so they didn’t have to wander around a foreign territory. Logan exited the tent at the rear, one of the lesser used entrances. He was walking along the lawn when he caught a scent that made him stop. It was Serena, and it was mixed with something else, fear and blood. Logan looked around quickly for any sign that she was nearby, and he listened closely. There was so

nothing else to hear or smell, but he saw the grass shredded. Clear signs of a struggle. Pulling out his phone, Logan quickly called Santino. “Is Serena at the hospital?” he asked before Santino could even greet him. “No, the nurses said she never came by for her night rounds,” he said. “I can hear it in your voice, what’s wrong?” “Look around the area, see if there are any signs of a struggle” Logan demanded. He waited while he heard Santino leave the hospital and look around. “There’s something here,” he said. “What is it, what do you see?” Logan asked, panic rising in his chest. “The pavement is scuffed, claw marks, at least four or five sets,” Santino said. “Can you follow the trail?” Logan asked. “Yea, it heads off the road. There are some clothes here, men’s clothes,” he reported. “And…I can smell Serena underneath the other scents. Hang on.” he trailed off. “What is it?” Logan asked when Santino didn’t respond right away. “I found some of her clothing,” Santino said. “A ripped shirt.” “She shifted while running,” Logan said somberly. “It looks like,” Santino said. “There’s no blood or anything to show she was injured.” “There is over here,” Logan said. It didn’t take long until Santino tracked the prints to where Logan was standing. They remained on their phones with each other until they were within earshot. “I found shreds of her skirt all along the trail” Santino said when he joined Logan. “Her attackers, at least four or five you said?” Lagan asked. Santino nodded. Logan swore under his breath. “This is where they got her. The ground is…there was a fight here.” “But then she stops struggling,” Santino said, pointing to the trail of prints that led off towards the woods. The prints were clearer and less flustered. “Some of these prints are deeper, and human” Logan pointed out. “They were carrying her.” “We have to follow the trail!” Santino said, eyes flaring with anger. “Yes, we do,” Logan agreed. “First, we need to check in with Alpha Thomas and Beta Carson. They need to know where we are going. Call your father.” Santino grunted, but he nodded, grabbing his phone again. Logan got through to Carson quickly. “There was a rogue attack deep in our territory,” Logan said.

“Not possible, Logan, we‘ve been tracking all the rogues,” Carson said.
