“Any news?”I ask Pyrce, peeking over my shoulder to make sure I’m not waking up my mate.
“Still no sign of her.”He sighs.“We’ve shared her photo around town.The guys are all out looking for her.We have people watching the cult day and night.”
“Where could she be?”I mutter.
“I don’t know.There are no signs that anyone has come or gone in the last few days, so she must still be there.Unless they took her to another location before we rescued Taylor.She could be in one of the houses, in a room with no windows, which will make it harder to find her.”
“Keep me updated,” I tell him.
“Of course.Talk to you later.”
We hang up, and I sit next to Taylor on the bed.I slept next to her last night, on top of the covers, and it was the best night of my life.I woke up an hour ago, and I’ve been watching her sleep ever since.I called Pyrce because I know that once my mate wakes up, the first thing she’ll want to know is if there’s any news on her sister.
I hate that I’ll have to disappoint her again.
We could go to the cult.Kick down all the doors until we find Landry and bring her home to our mate,my wolf says, standing on guard inside me, his eyes locked on our mate.
We can’t leave our mate alone.She wouldn’t be able to call for help if she needed something,I remind him.
Leave her with one of the Alphas to protect.
Maybe… I’ll offer her that today.
I’m nervous about leaving Taylor after our talk yesterday.She was quiet or asleep for the rest of the day, which put me on edge.I wanted to know what she was thinking, but I got the impression she needed time to process everything.
We still need to tell her about the mating heat,my wolf reminds me.The full moon is coming up tomorrow.
I know.I’ll tell her today.
Taylor stirs, and I smile as she blinks her eyes open and meets my gaze.
“Morning, mate,” I say softly.
She stretches, sighing happily.
That sound has my wolf and me relaxing.She’s safe here.She’s happy to see me.
“How are you feeling?Do you need more medicine?”
She shakes her head.
“Your throat isn’t hurting?”
She shakes her head again, and I pass her phone to her before she can look for it.
“I talked to Pyrce this morning.They looked for your sister last night but didn’t find her.They think she’s in a room without windows.”
She sighs, looking sad and scared now.
“We’re watching the cult.They haven’t seen anyone come or go in the last few days, so she has to be there.Did you see where they took her?”
I wait as she types, my eyes roaming over her as her fingers fly across the screen.
They separated us as soon as we got there.I went into that house, and she went the other way, but I didn’t see where.
“That’s okay.We’ll find her.Did you hear them talking about her when you were there?”
