Thoughts of rescuing the target Omega vanished as we felt the pull toward our Goddess-bound mate—the perfect female for us.

Words were unnecessary, and our wolves moved in seamless agreement.

My wolf took the lead, sprinting through the trees with renewed determination—guiding our unit to our mate.

Chapter 4

Korren

The forest was dense and lush. Wild blooms peppered the greenery with varying shades of yellow, pink, and coral. Thousands of paws had worn tracks through the flora, creating crisscrossed trails with no sure direction.

She’s close, Valor said through the bond as his wolf forged ahead.

Is it weird that I can feel her? I asked.

Ezra’s dark gray wolf kept pace with mine. What do you feel?

Her signature is almost physical. The closer we get, the more it scrapes against my skin. My wolf’s hair is standing on end, and he’s agitated.

Is something working with her? Ezra asked, his wolf weaving around a thick, twisted root. My wolf is getting anxious to get to her.

No, but she’s determined. Angry. I can feel her need to escape—to get away.

You’re worried. Valor’s words flashed down our bond.

My chest clenched. The sentimental part of me warred with the primal call driving my wolf. If she didn’t want to be caught, how would she react when we found her?

Would she hate us?

Would she fight our claim?

Our mate will want us, my wolf said with a confident growl.

I wished I could believe him.

The scent of other units nipped at our senses, and my wolf’s anger surged like a violent storm. Possessiveness clouded my vision as thoughts of our mate being claimed by competing units added fuel to the fire.

A howl broke through the trees.

They’re following us, Ezra said.

His wolf slowed, positioning himself at the rear, ready to intercept an oncoming attack.

Guess they’re the smart ones, Valor stated. They’re trying to follow us to the Omega.

Our sure steps must have drawn their attention. While other units sniffed in confusion or dispersed completely, we had taken off in the direction of the coveted Omega without hesitation or delay. They must have realized that our unit could track her.

His white, black, and gray wolf rounded my other side, placing me squarely in the center.

Ezra’s wolf let out a warning growl. Two, possibly three units at most.

Three, I confirmed. Ten wolves altogether.

We can’t risk them ganging up on us. Valor’s wolf growled and scraped the earth with his paws, goading them to reveal themselves.

No one came.

Why aren’t they coming?
