“They are vampires,” Jacob said. “Their sense of smell is strong. Maybe even stronger than yours.”
“We have been circling possible locations on the map,” Blake said and pointed to the map on the table. “If we could get just a hint of the direction they went to, we could start searching those places.”
“How did you narrow it down?” I asked as I leaned in to look at the map.
“Cassie has been reading about him for a while,” Blake explained.
Cassie nodded. “I did. I learned a lot. The last time he tried to rise to power, he always used large, abandoned warehouses as his base. There was a rumor that he was building an underground structure, but nobody knows where he was building it exactly. There are seven large warehouses in our proximity. Three of them are north of our location and four are south.”
“Is there a possible location for that underground structure?” Jacob asked as he looked over the map.
“Well, if I were Victor, I would build it in a forest,” Blake said. “That way, he could hide the entrance pretty well.”
I looked at the map and saw that there were acres and acres of forest around us. That structure could be anywhere.
“The forest is huge,” Jacob sighed. “It could be anywhere.”
“That’s why we need to know in which direction they went,” Cassie said. “We would be able to narrow it down significantly.”
“Mike and Jack need to sniff the area the best they can,” I said. “They need to get there as soon as possible. The scent won’t linger for long.”
“Did Annie say when they would be back?” Nick asked.
“She said they were close,” Cassie responded.
Nick sighed and ran his hand through his hair. I really admired how he managed to get back in control after his breakdown earlier. I was sure he was freaking out inside. I know I was.
“I want to start checking the warehouses,” Nick growled.
“That would be a waste of time,” Cassie said.
Nick growled and narrowed his eyes at her.
“Don’t growl at my sister,” Jacob said through his teeth.
“She is telling me that searching for my mate is a waste of time!” Nick shouted at Jacob.
I needed to stop this before he lost control again.
“Nick, enough,” I interrupted him. “She is not saying that.”
“Look at the map, Nick,” Cassie said as she pointed to the circled warehouses. “It would take us days to travel and search for each one. There is no guarantee she is even there, and we would be exhausted by the time we finished searching. We need to narrow the area down first, come up with a plan, and then attack. We have time.”
“We don’t!” Nick growled. “He has her and he is doing Goddess knows what to her! I saw her tied to a bed! I saw her dead, lying in a pool of her own blood!”
What the fuck was he talking about? My heart clenched painfully.
I heard Jacob and Blake gasp.
“When did you see that?” Cassie asked him as calmly as she could.
Nick stood up and started pacing around the living room. He ran his hand through his messy hair.
“When I was asleep,” he growled quietly.
“That was your fear talking, Nick,” Cassie said. “He won’t kill her. He needs her power.”
