A pained groan leaves his lips as he sits up. He looks around finding himself in the middle of the forest, near the border of the pack. Confusion fills his mind when he couldn't remember how he ended up here of all places.

He finds a few of his warriors a few distance away from him, the ones who were in charge of night patrol unconscious or just waking up and looking around them cluelessly. Clearly confused how they ended up almost at the edge of the forest.

He could feel his wolf, trying to communicate with him.

"What is it?" Adryan questions.

"Mate" Vince whimpers in his mind.

"Jade" her name a whisper. It was like he was suddenly struck with an onslaught of memories. Him in his office. Catching her scent. Her trying to run away. Him chasing after her.

That is all he could remember. His memories were hazy, like a series of blurred images. He started to panic. Where was she?!.

He quickly stands up, going behind on of the trees and wearing the shorts he founds tucked into the bushes near by. His pack kept cloths around the forest, so whoever needed it could use it to cover themselves after shifting into their human form after a run.

Adryan looks around him, he could catch her faint scent which stopped at the border of his pack. He seemed to quickly realize what had happened. She had manage to escape. She ran away. From him.

It pained him to say it, and even think about it.

Anger builds up inside him but mostly sadness, and remorse.

He hadn't felt so many emotions in a very long time, in fact years.

In between all this his wolf's constant whimpers weren't helping his case either.

"What is it?" He snaps at Vince. Trying to get through his wolf through the common link they shared.

"I can't tell you" he whimpers.

"What do you mean you can't tell me?!" Adryan asks "Do you know something I should know about?!" Adryan had a feeling that his wolf knew something, but his wolf wouldn't say what it was for whatever the reason was.

"Tell me" he insists.

"She wouldn't want us to" Vince whispers, sadness lacing his voice.

Vince retreats back into Adryan's mind, causing him to panic.

"Vince! Vince".

His wolf's silence was all he got in return.

A roar leaves Adryan's lips, his chest aching. Startling the still in distress warriors who just woke up from whatever spell they were under. His roar shook the forest floor, birds fly out of the trees startled as well.

He punches a nearby tree, snapping it into two in one go.

She can run as much as she want now. But he wasn't one to give up so easily. He was going to find her no matter whatever it took. No matter how long, he would find her.

"I'm going to find you, Jade. It's only a matter of time." He whispers.
