Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 86

But I sniff again and that's not what I'm smelling. It's actually the Dawn Pack. Relief momentarily washes over me. They're probably just crossing a highway or something.

"Is everything alright, Alpha?" the woman asks again.

I'm about to nod but the scent starts moving north, towards central. That's not where any highway should be leading them. I don't waste anymore time. I mindlink Carson because I know he's dealing with border control right now.

What if something happened to him? My heart starts racing. I think of Mom. I think of Dad. I would've felt something right? If something happened to my brother, I would've known?

"Hey, did you let Dawn werewolves in?" I ask. Answer, Carson. Answer right now, Carson. This is why he shouldn't have mindlink blocked in the first place.

"No," he finally says and I sigh in relief until I realize what he's saying.

We're not under attack. Nobody's been killed. Nobody's reported any suspicious behavior. That can only mean one thing, they're after something specific. And they want to be quiet about getting to it.

When Aiden says he can smell the Bloodmoon Pack, it becomes clear what that thing is-Mia. Of course it's Mia, and for some reason all three of us are as far away from her as possible. What are the chances of that happening? Of all three of us having compelling issues driving us towards opposite borders at the same time?

I'm starting to put the pieces together, and I'm not liking where my thoughts are going. I can feel my patience slipping.

I mindlink Onai immediately, hoping I'm not too late to warn him. But I don't know who to warn him about first. The Bloodmoon Pack, the Dawn Pack... or our own.

"There are too many," is the first thing he says.

My blood runs cold. "What do you mean? Call for backup." I'm already rushing out of the building.

"The entire formation is off," he says, but I still don't understand what he's saying.

He senses my confusion and I can sense the extent of his injuries. I feel his wound as if it were my own, and I hear him strain to send me this message. "Every single guard that should be in this area is miles away. I'm alone... and Mia, she's..."
