“Declan!Freya’s missing!”
Chapter Thirty-Nine
Once he mind-linkedhis twin brother, he did the same to his Alpha.He needed all hands on deck to search for their mate.He then allowed his wolf to take control, sniffing the area.Freya’s scent was strong near the entrance of the building but faded near the corner.His wolf also smelled blood, her blood, and he growled loudly at the thought of his mate getting hurt.
Her scent disappeared in the parking lot behind the building, where a lone cap lay fallen among the bushes.Ciaran allowed his wolf to sniff it, but the scent was unknown.The rotten smell was also more intense, and he couldn’t understand if the person using it was indeed a rogue whose suppressant was wearing off, or if the rogue was nearby, working with the first male.
Freya wouldn’t have left the building voluntarily, all on her own.She knew what was at stake, and he had no doubts it was much more than a simple abduction.
“Ciaran!”cried Tanya behind him, and his wolf turned his head.“The cameras!”
The wolf howled painfully before allowing Ciaran to assume control.He was naked, but his cousin gave him some pants, and he returned to the gym at a fast pace.
Tanya had closed the venue for the day, the disgruntled customers being promised a free month of fees to compensate.Tanya sat on Freya’s chair and pulled the camera footage, rewinding it.Together, they saw Freya picking up a call, smiling to whomever she was talking to, and then leaving her post.There was no hesitation in her steps, no fear in her movements.She knew what she was getting into and whom she was meeting.
“Ciaran!”
Declan burst into the gym, his gaze deadly.Right behind him was the Alpha and a man he didn’t recognize at all.Older than any of them, with short, graying hair and a square face that told them he’d spent the larger part of his life in fights.The gray eyes were unforgiving, hard as steel.
“Who the hell are you?”
“Mind your tongue, pup, before I snap your neck,” he growled and Ciaran felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.
“This is Brock Ravenclaw.He’s brother to Mace Ravenclaw, the High King’s Beta.”
The name didn’t ring a bell, but if he was sent by the High King, that meant something was out of the ordinary.
“Behave.He’s one of the best hunters in the world.”
“Hunter of what?”
“Rogues.”
“Show it again,” he ordered roughly.Tanya obeyed, rewinding the camera until Freya picked up the phone.
“What camera is this?”
