'Maddox, set a high alert around the entire pack, especially near the lake and the forest,' I commanded my Beta through the mindlink as I shifted into my wolf form, letting Lyon take over.

We ran tirelessly for hours, scanning every inch of the pack's borders. The wind rushed past us, carrying no unfamiliar scent, no sign of intrusion. Frustration clawed at my chest as the search turned up empty. Not a trace of him.

There was no word from Maddox either. Finally, I shifted back into my human form, panting heavily as I surveyed my surroundings. The woods stood silent, almost eerily so, as if mocking my efforts.

'Maddox, did you find anything?' I asked as I mindlinked my Beta.

'No, Alpha,' he replied promptly. 'We haven't detected anything or anyone suspicious.'

I frowned, wiping the sweat from my brow. 'Did you check all the surveillance footage from the past three or four days?'

'Yes, Alpha. We've gone through everything thoroughly,' Maddox assured me. Then, after a brief pause, he added, 'By the way, what's going on? Is something wrong?'

I hesitated for a moment before answering. 'Nothing concrete. I just have this...feeling. Something bad is about to happen.'

There was a beat of silence, then I continued, my tone firm. 'Keep the alert level high, and double the patrols even during the day.'

'Understood, Alpha,' Maddox replied without question.

As our connection faded, I exhaled deeply, trying to calm the unease curling in my chest.
