Chapter 83

The treeline was hiding us. The breeze was light as Charlotte shook her head and body. The breeze tickled as it made its way across our body from our head to the tip of our tail. Charlotte inhaled deeply as a hint of a familiar scent drifted by. It was Dexter's scent, all those weeks with him, it was branded on our memory. My head turned towards the direction where the wind was blowing from as we inhaled again. It was him, I was sure of it. I walked in that direction, keeping behind the tree line, a low growl escaping.

Everest's voice drifted through my mind "Where are you going? Did you see anything or hear anything?"

"s**t. I guess we should communicate with him." I laughed as Charlotte snorted, hot air coming out of her nostrils. She inhaled deeply as I linked with Everest.

"It is Dexter's scent. It was faint, but it was his. I am sure of it." I told Everest.

"How sure are you?" He questioned me.

"Willing to bet everything I have on it." Charlotte turned so we could look at him as he approached us. We were squatting down, looking out over the town below.

It was a small human town. Though it is a small town, it was kind of cute. Honestly, it looked as if it was rich and full with all kinds of history. A road circled around a courthouse that appeared to be freshly painted white as the road around the square had been newly repaved. There were small businesses that were lined up along all sides of the courthouse and everyone was out and about, enjoying their afternoon. I am sure the buzz of a mysterious stranger had all of the town's people talking. I could hear their faint voices from up here. Our hearing was excellent, which is why we had to be careful. He could hear us coming if we didn't keep our voices down and our scent away.

I turned and looked back at Miranda as she was passing out necklaces that had her special herbal blend to keep our scent hidden from other wolves and Lycans. They nodded their heads in acknowledgment to her as she handed them what they would need. I knew a collection this big must have taken her a few weeks to prepare. When she reached me, she helped to put the necklace around Charlotte's neck. Though it was a snug fit, it was perfect. It sat nicely underneath our fur. She helped Everette with his and moved to stand by Brent.
