Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Nathan’s POV

“She’s has been discharged? And you didn’t pick her up?” My voice sharpened, a growl scraping the edges.

Ethan paled. “I…..I went to the address. She wasn’t there…”

“Call Collins. Pull hospital surveillance. Check every exit,” I ordered, my tone leaving no room for hesitation.

Ethan bolted.

Beside me, Sophia hesitated, watching my reaction with unease. “Nathan… maybe…”

I brushed past her without touching her. Her fingers grazed my sleeve; I shook them off like a thorn.

“Get a cab. Leave early,” I said, already sprinting toward the garage.

Her scent soured behind me, but I didn’t look back.

Wind whipped through my hair as I dashed into the garage, adrenaline singing through my veins like wildfire. My hands trembled as I reached for my keys.

“Damn it, Aria,” I thought, heart pounding. “With the online frenzy, you’re vulnerable. If anything’s happened…”

My chest constricted.

My wolf howled inside me.

Find her. Find her NOW.

The Maybach, usually smooth as a heartbeat, growled beneath me as I pushed it faster, the engine responding to the rising panic clawing at my chest. My wolf paced inside me, restless, snarling, urging me to run, find her, track our mate.

My phone rang. It was Collins.

I snatched it up. “Speak.”

My voice came out clipped, sharp… too sharp for a man who was supposedly calm. But the wolf in me was barely leashed.

My eyes were locked on the blur of traffic ahead, but my mind was nowhere near the road. My senses were flaring outward, instinctively searching for Aria’s scent. My wolf kept slamming against my ribs, furious that we couldn’t find her.

Collins’s voice crackled through the receiver. “Alpha Nathan, I confirmed with the hospital. It was Luna Aria who personally instructed them to delay notifying us of her discharge.”

A low, involuntary growl ripped from my throat.

“Ridiculous,” I snapped, the word vibrating with something feral.

I could practically feel Collins flinch on the other end. Yeah, I wasn’t exactly sounding like the emotionless corporate wolf the world thought I was.

He must’ve been thinking it too… Is this still the calm Mr. Hemsworth I knov.

Calm? What a joke.

Whenever it involved Aria, calm ceased to exist.

My wolf didn’t do calm when she might be in danger.

And right now, she was out there alone, vulnerable, with a storm of enemies circling her. My instincts screamed that something was wrong, deeply wrong.

I tightened my grip on the wheel, my claws threatening to push through my fingertips. I forced them back, barely.

“Did you pull the surveillance footage?” I demanded. “She must have taken a cab. Track her departure direction, start from the hospital exit and follow every possible route.”

My anger was coiled tight, hot and barely contained. The car felt too small, too suffocating. My wolf wanted to tear through the city, shift, hunt her scent down.

“Check it as fast as you can,” I growled.
