My blood runs cold as he says her name. He was going after her again.”Dane is on his way there now with Klaus. But you know it better than us.””Alpha Neah?” I mutter. Torn between staying to protect her or going to protect my mate. It could be a distraction. To lead us away from what my brother is really after. “I will handle Neah, go.” Eric offers.”If it shows up here, link Dane. I will be with him.” I snap, running down the stairs and out of the house.

Dane and Klaus are searching when I arrive.”She’s gone.” Dane mutters with a growl. “Whatever it has done to her, she is out cold. I can’t link her.””We have searched the entire hospital. There is nothing.” Klaus tells me, “Not a hair, no blood, even Raven’s scent fades to nothing.””I can smell him.” I mutter.Moving around the small desk in the middle of the hospital. I’m hit with strawberries combined with the essence of fear. She had been here, hiding under the desk. “How long?” I mutter.”For what?” Dane growls.”Between her linking you and you arriving here. How long?””A couple of minutes. I came immediately, why?”Had she known it was in here, is that why she was hiding?I move around the desk. He had been standing on the other side, probably taunting her.”He wouldn’t have taken her out the front door. That would be too risky.” I tell them”The back door has been kept locked since we had the problem with the other Lycans.” Klaus mutters. “It almost backs on to the forest. There is no other way in.” “There is always a way.””I will link my men. We can hunt the forest.” Dane mutters”No.” I snap”She’s my sister.””If you want her alive, you won’t send in any more men. He’s doing this to lure me out. If you send in more, he will just kill her and everyone else. I told you, they like to play with their food. But if there is more than one option, they will just kill everything in sight. And it’s like you said, Dane. You can’t scent him.”Moving through the hospital, I’m quick to locate the back door. It is just as Klaus had said. With no signs of foul play.A curtain around a closed window begins to move. It’s then I notice the claw marks around the edges and a small gap where the window hadn’t quite been refitted properly, letting the wind through.He had removed and replaced the whole thing. Slinking inside without being caught and disappearing in exactly the same way.”He dragged her through the window.” I tell them”She would have fought against him.” Dane glares at me. “She fights well.””It’s like you said, she’s out cold. You can’t fight someone if you are unconscious.”I ram my shoulder against the back door. It only took two attempts before the door split from its hinges.Pulling off my shirt. I feel my body crack as I prepare to shift. It had been a while.”We are coming too.” Dane mutters, ripping off his shirt. “This is my pack and it is my sister that he has. You don’t get to tell me what to do!” His crimson eyes are narrowed at me.As I remove my belt and my boots. I just stare at him, because he won’t like what’s coming. I thought I would be able to keep it a secret for longer than this.”You can’t track them. I can!” I transform fully into my Lycan, stretching my muscles out.Dropping on to all fours, I run my snout along the ground. Sucking in his scent. I could still smell Raven, just a tiny bit, but enough to make it easy for me to find her.”We can help! Just lead the way,” Dane mutters “You can’t do this alone. That is not how we work!”I growl at him. “I can because I was like him.”
