I clenched my jaw as I stared at him. He was right. Her scent was gone.
“I know you are hurting,” Gabriel said and placed his hand on my shoulder. “I am hurting too. But we will find her. We will bring her back.”
CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT – Returned
Gabriel’s POV
I kept my hand on Nick’s shoulder, trying to convince him and myself that we would find her, that she would be okay.
I was in as much pain as he was, but I needed to keep myself calm. We wouldn’t be able to find her if both of us freaked out and lost it.
“Where the fuck is Blake?” Nick growled, his nostrils flaring.
“Downstairs with a broken nose,” Jacob said.
Nick’s eyes widened. “Who broke his nose?”
“Jacob did,” I said. “I wanted to do it myself, but he beat me to it.”
Nick looked at Jacob and raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “You did it?”
“Yes,” Jacob nodded. “He took her from me. He let her go. He had to pay for what he did.”
Nick’s fists clenched when Jacob said that Blake had taken Aria from him. I rolled my eyes and sighed. Jacob really had a death wish.
“He took her from all of us,” I said and grabbed Nick’s arm. “But we are done fighting. We have to find her. We can’t waste time hitting each other.”
Nick growled. “I am beating the shit out of him once she is back.”
“You know she won’t let you,” Jacob smiled.
Nick sighed and nodded.
“Let’s go downstairs,” I said. “We have some planning to do.”
The three of us walked to the living room. Blake was sitting on a couch with a map in front of him. Cassie surrounded herself with books.
Nick growled when he saw Blake. He clenched his fists and glared at him.
“Nick,” I said with a warning tone.
“I know,” he growled. “I won’t do anything. But that doesn’t mean I can’t look at him like I will.”
“I can’t tell you how sorry I am, Nick,” Blake said as he stood up. “If I could go back and stop her, I would. I wasn’t thinking straight. I was afraid he would hurt Cassie and everything Aria said made sense at that moment. I am sorry I let her go. I will do everything I can to bring her back.”
“You have to,” Nick growled. “You need to bring her back because she is the only one who can stop me from killing you.”
Blake gulped and nodded.
“I called Annie,” Cassie said, changing the subject.
“Did you tell her what happened?” I asked and walked over to her.
Cassie nodded. “They are coming back as soon as they can. We need Mike and Jack. They are excellent trackers.”
“Maybe they could pick up her scent,” Jacob said and sat down next to his sister.
“I couldn’t and she is my mate,” Nick sighed as he sat down on the couch.
