Chapter 151

Returning to the front desk, the woman was gone. I obnoxiously banged on the little bell until at last she appeared again.

It took me only a little amount of time to explain that I desperately needed to find Elise and straighten out a misunderstanding. I begged her to think of where she had last seen her. She did not look sympathetic to my cause at all, while telling me that my mate had been picked up by Uber a good half hour earlier, but didn’t want to tell me that to give her time to get away as she had been upset and anxious to leave. She made no qualms about her opinion that I was the reason for E’s hasty retreat, and I would have believed her too, if I hadn’t noticed her agitation and smelled the anxiety wafting off her. At least there were some benefits to being a shifter.

I dismissed her scent as my own paranoia and suspected my facial expressions were less than friendly. I thanked her and walked to the front door of the lobby. I walked outside, not caring about the pain spiking up my legs from the cold, frozen ground. I took a deep breath. Nothing. There was no sign of Elise.

I sniffed the air half a dozen more times to be sure. If my mate had been there within the last half hour, I would have smelled her lingering scent, but there was nothing. I quickly returned to the lady at the front desk, barely keeping my anger in check.

“You’re lying,” I challenged.

Her pupils dilated, her cheeks flushed, and her voice waivered in her attempt to challenge me.

“I–I–I’m not. You have no proof or reason to say such th–th–thing,” she awkwardly stuttered.

“I’d like to see your manager,” I demanded.

The woman paled and I had a bad feeling in my gut that there was a lot more to this story and that I wasn’t going to like it one bit. I bit back the anger flaring in me, and gritted back against my wolf as he surged to take control of the situation.

‘H–h–he’s not here and won’t be in today on account of the storm.”

“The same storm you say that Uber drove through, picked up my“-I struggled with the right word, knowing “mate” wasn’t right in the human world-“my friend, and then left in?”

“Y’y’yes, that’s correct.” She blatantly lied, and I knew that she knew, that I knew she was lying.

Chapter 151

Knowing she was lying and knowing I was going to do something I might potentially regret if I did not step away, I turned and left her, heading for the elevator and back to my room.

I checked my cell. No missed calls. I called Kyle as I pulled on warm socks and boots.

“Hey, did you find her?” Kyle answered the phone.

“No, and the lady at the front desk is lying to me, Kyle. Something is seriously wrong here. I mean her stuff is gone. She was definitely running, but at first the lady said she hadn’t seen her. Then she said she was around somewhere, but there were no signs of her anywhere. Then her story changed again. This time an Uber picked her up, but man, I’m telling you, I may not be a tracker, but I know my mate’s scent, and if she had been in that doorway I would have smelled it. She didn’t go near the

front of that lobby, let alone out that front door. I’m about to lose my shit, Kyle. Where can she be?”

“Something’s definitely wrong. Go back down and keep looking. I’m sending reinforcements now,

but it will be a few hours before they get there. Send me the exact name and location of the resort

you’re staying at. And Pat, find my sister.”

“I won’t rest until I find her.”

“I know,” he said and I heard some whispers and commotion in the background. I was about to hang

up when he came back on the line. “Patrick, sounds like E got herself locked into an office off the

main lobby. Not sure on the details, but she left Kelsey a voice mail this morning saying she was locked in and needed your number. She called back a second time, but the phone disconnected while they were talking and it’s going straight to voicemail now. I don’t know what’s going on, but check the offices
