Shifting will trigger the healing process.
“Nuh uh,” he murmurs, looking as if he is about to pass out.
I cannot allow this to happen.
He is only a young boy.
I use my Alpha command voice, “Shift into your wolf, Adam.”
He passes out, and I hold my breath, waiting to find out if my command got through.
Please, let it get through.
God of Wolves, don’t let this child die.
Chapter Fifty
Scar
Istartoutrunningtoward my mother’s house, but then I pick up Lita and Scratch’s scent trails, and those lead me into middle of the town square. The Alpha’s house.
Of course. This is where it started.
This is where I killed my father. Orion’s father.
It’s where I learned what he truly was and what I was made for.
It feels right that this is where it will end.
I walk up the path to the house, and I find the door unlocked.
Stepping inside, I call out, “Orion Masters. Show yourself.”
I look around the hallway, and I pick up Scratch’s trail, but not Lita’s.
That is odd. I go back outside, and I find Lita’s trail very clearly.
She is here. I know that she is.
Orion has done something to mask her trail, that is all.
I will find Scratch and we will look for our mate together.
He seems to be upstairs.
I dart up there, and find him in a small room, crouched over with his back to me.
“Scratch! What are you …” I trail off when he turns and I see he is sitting with a small wolf, a child.
The child looks dirty. No. He looks bloody.
There is blood on his light-colored fur, but he pounces happily at Scratch and clambers up to wet his face with baby wolf slobbering kisses.
Scratch gives me a smile, but his eyes remain serious.
“He was badly hurt,” he tells me in a low voice. “I thought he might die.”
There is blood on the carpet, some of it dried in, along with a torn set of clothing.
