Chapter 13: Wait Hunter
I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep knowing she's out there. Alone. My mate.
I've thought through hundreds of scenarios of how to talk to her, to let her know that I won't force my mark on her, or claim her publicly, but I have no idea how to even get close enough to her in order to have a conversation with her.
Shaw has been no help. He's ready to hunt her down and mark her. He wants to claim his mate so no one else can. He's been pacing in my head, asking me every 15 minutes if we have any updates on where the Alphas are hunting.
When he asks me again, I snap.
'Shaw, it's the middle of the f**k**g night. No one has an update on any of the Alphas!' I bark at him.
"We should go to her, find her, protect her, make sure she's safe.'
'If she's safe and we show up, especially at night, she'll run.'
He growls at me and continues to prowl around in my head.
I sigh, sitting up. There was no use trying to get any sleep. Between me and Shaw, I won't be sleeping tonight.

training. I trudge down the stairs and I'm almost knocked over by Lucas who is practically sk**g down the stairs.
"Good morning, Alpha!" he sings, causing me to flinch at his much too loud tone.
"What's good about it," I grumble.
'It's good because we can finally go to her," Shaw grumbles in my head. He's as tired as I am, both of us working off of anxious adrenaline.
"Rough night?" Lucas asks me, his tone and demeaner much more muted.
I sigh. I haven't told anyone. I didn't even tell Kinsley yesterday on the way home. I look around, seeing the warriors all heading out back for training.
I take Lucas' arm and pull him into my office, closing my door. "This stays between me and you. For now, you can't even tell Kinsley," I say, turning to look at him. "Do I need to command you?"
He frowns at me. "When have you ever needed to command me to keep a secret, Alpha?" he asks, and I can hear the hurt in his voice.
I huff, running my fingers through my hair. "You're right, I apologize. I'm just..." I sigh and scrub my face roughly, trying to focus. When I look back at Lucas I can see his worry.
"I smelled her. Yesterday when Kinsley and I went to the place where she leaves the food for the she-wolves on the run, I smelled my mate. She was there. Chapter 13: Wait
