14 Race against time …

Ramsey

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 ? ”

“ We don’t have time for that , Lenny , ” I snapped , finally walking through the gate .

claim ,

Now that I was outside , I paused , trying to detect her scent .

Thankfully , there was still the faintest smell of her lingering in the air .

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 …
