1 burst out of the meeting room, my heart hammering in my chest. I was afraid.

The discussion about the sudden attack by the Ferals faded in my mind. All I could think of was Lax telling me that Lyla was in danger.

That girl was going to be the bane of my existence. Couldn’t she just listen to me for once? If she hadn’t left the pack, all of this wouldn’t have happened. I stormed over to the outer gates,

anxious.

“Alpha, what’s going on?” Lenny panted behind me. “Where are we going?”

I didn’t slow down. “Someone is in danger. We need to find her, now!”

Lenny frowned, confused. “Find who?” He asked. “If the person is truly in danger as you shouldn’t we go with some warriors or backup?”

Without a word, I continued following the scent trail with Lenny behind me. Suddenly, we arrived at the opening of a forest.

“Alpha, you’re not thinking of taking that trail, right?” Lenny asked from behind me. “This leads to the Northern Forest. It’s crawling with rogues and goddess knows what else.”

I nodded. “I know. But her life is too important, Lenny.”

“What the hell is she doing in there in the first place?” Lenny murmured, sounding as exasperated as I felt. “I’m sorry, Alpha but as your Beta, I cannot allow you to go into that forest,” He said and blocked my path. “These are dangerous times and the last thing we need is you getting attacked.”

“Didn’t you hear when I said the life we’re saving is more important than the risk?” I said coldly. “You’re free to wait here or come with me. Don’t block my path.”

With a frustrated sigh, Lenny finally moved away. I walked into the forest, while Lenny followed me. I followed Lyla’s trail, concentrating on it alone as we went deeper into the forest. As we rounded a bend, Lax pranced inside me, surging forward…
