Layans Return Chapter 35. Elijah
Elijah
On the morning of Layan’s claim, Mason joins me.
“I’d like you to reconsider. If things don’t go the way you hope…”
I’m already shaking my head before he finishes. “I can’t. And you, of all people, should understand that.”
He grits his teeth. “I do, but I don’t’ want to lose you. You’re a great Beta, and a better friend.”
“Then wish me luck.” I tell him.
His hand comes down on my shoulder. “Bring her home, Elijah.”
When the gun goes off, the others run into the territory. I walk in, taking my time. But as soon as I hit the forest line, I smell it, the scent trails. They are everywhere.
I close my eyes and smile. She did this for me. In one of our discussions, she asked me what I would have done with my life if I hadn’t been a Beta. I told her that my family had come from a long line of trackers. I can pretty much hunt anyone, anywhere. I’m not as good at is as some of my other family members, but I’m better than most.
I begin walking, take a deep breath, finding the strongest of the scents and I begin to follow it. Last year, there were 75 of us in the Hana’s claiming and nearly 200 in Jara’s. While I can track well, I don’t have the ability to track a scent that has been stomped over by multiple males, basically covering the female’s scent.
This year, that isn’t a problem. There are only nine other men in
Layan’s claiming, and they all went running for the lake and the
cave.
I follow the scent that leads me to the burned-out fire. I look around, seeing how she scorched the area. I wasn’t here last year, I didn’t see it happen, but I heard about it, like everyone else did.
