He begins running, not as fast or as strong and he normally would, but I don’t care, he’s faster than I am and Jake and Lucas both take off toward the sound of the howl, their wolves pushing hard.
Derric lifts his head to the sky, howling to our mate that we’re coming and to hold on. Behind me, I hear paws pounding on the earth, catching up to me quickly. Derric turns and sees the rest of our friends quickly catching up. He barks at them to go, and they race past us.
‘Derric…‘
‘I can’t go any faster. I shouldn’t have even been able to pull the shift, but…‘
‘I know. Let’s just get there as fast as we can.’
By the time we arrive, there’s a full–on battle going on. My group has killed several of the other Alphas warriors and what’s left of them turns and begins running off. I let the others chase after them, Kayce’s wolf, Rodion, staying with me.

Derric begins sniffing the ground, easily finding Nikki’s scent and then her blood. He snarls, angry that someone hurt our mate and even angrier when we smell Camden’s scent. How the fuck did he find her
He also smells the scent of the other she–wolf, but there is no scent of our son. Derric becomes frantic, trying to figure out where Nikki went, where our son is, and concerned that Camden dragged her or both of

“Robin!” Kayee barks, getting my attention. He’s shifted into his human form and is looking at the ground. “I think she’s gone back into the river. I don’t think Camden has her.”
Derric moves to where Kayce is looking and we can smell her scent, along with the lingering scent of her blood. I was right, Adira must be silent otherwise she’d be healing, and she isn’t.

I am terrified for Nikki. Rory is fussy and there’s nothing I can do about it. She’s the one who should have gotten in the water. It’s her son, her mate looking for her, and her alliance with these packs. All I have is her name and her son. And honestly, I don’t know her mate,
but I’d assume that he’s an act first, ask questions later kind of Alpha like all the others I’ve known. And if so, Îl be dead before I’ll ever get a chance to explain what happened.

I felt better when it was just her and the guy with only one foot, but as I’d started floating down river, I’d heard David’s howl, followed closely by my brother’s.
