LOGAN
Something needs to be fixed. I can feel it in my bones. Or maybe it’s the timeframe that Jacob has been gone. I am looking out to the field to see if I can find Klaus. Looking around, I do not see him anywhere and am just about to mindlink him when he is pushing to my mindlink himself.
‘Klaus?’ I greet him.
‘Alpha, we have a problem.’
‘What is happening?’
‘I think Jacob ran into trouble. I just lost contact as if he passed out.” He answers.
‘On my way.’ I say and close the mindlink. I turn to Olivia and also Matt and Anna.
“Stay with her. We lost connection to Jacob. So I have to go.” I tell them and kiss Liv before I leave.
‘Be careful.’ She tells me through our matebond.
‘Don’t worry. I will be back soon.’ I promise.

When I get down to Klaus, he and Jacob’s dad Sam is talking about trying to let Sam reach him through the family bond. Because it is stronger than a basic bond, I wait and let Sam try to reach Jacob, but after a few minutes, it is clear it won’t happen.
“There is nothing. But I can still feel he is alive.” Sam tells Klaus.
“But that is a good thing,” I say behind them, and they both get a shock.
“Alpha. I am sorry.” They both say and bow their head in respect.
“Don’t worry about it. This is more important than bowing to me… what do we know?”
“He mindlinked me about two unfamiliar scents, mixing up with the one he was following. I told him to be careful and check in with me now and then. And he did that a few times. He mindlinked me, telling me he had found the target he was looking for. But it was clear something was not right, but when I asked, he said he would explain when he was back. And then the connection died.” Klaus tells me.
“Okay, how long ago?” I ask.
“Few hours, Alpha. I figured I would give him a chance to get back to me.” Klaus explain. And I nod in agreement. Wolves are different when something happens. A few hours are nothing, not for us.
“Well, gather the other warriors. We leave Matt here with Liv. Then we go following his route. Maybe we will find him on the way, though I imagine that his target knows an easier way back.” I say, and just as I do, I feel the presence of another Alpha. So I turn and see Alpha Kyle come over. His own warrior is back already, so I smile at him.
“Congratulations on your warrior coming first,” I tell him. And he smiles back but looks serious.
“Thank you, but that is not why I am here. The target your warrior followed was one of my packmembers. She mindlinked me. She ran into some trouble trying to save a human girl but ended up getting caught. Your warrior found them and two other missing she-wolves, plus a dead one. He saved them, but something happened when he saw the rouge kill the human girl. My packmember thinks she might have been his mate.” He explains, and we are all shocked by the news.
“My guess is he passed out. Seeing the girl gets killed so brutally. I know I did when my mate was killed.” Klaus says, and we all nod.
“Where are they now?” I ask.
“They are almost here. I sent warriors to go meet them on a much easier route. They will take your warrior to our pack hospital. So we can go wait there. I need to find out what packs the other girls are from.” Alpha Kyle tells us, and we agree.
Before we go there, I go back and tell Liv and the others what happened, then we all go and wait for Jacob to come back.

OLIVIA
It is chaos at the hospital when we arrive. And we found out that Alpha Kyle’s warriors had just gotten here with Jacob and the girls. We are being asked to wait while a doctor is checking him, so we do. It doesn’t take long before the doctor back out.
“Hello, I am told the young man belongs to your pack?” he asks us.
“Yes, and this is his father.” Logan answer and the doctor nods his head.
“The young man has not been hurt. And he is awake now, but he mumbles about losing someone. The only time I see a wolf in this state is when they lose a mate.”
“Yes, we were told he watched a human girl gets killed, who we think might have been his mate,” Logan explains, and the doctor nods.
“I will let in two at a time for now, so he will not be overwhelmed.” The Doctor tells us.
“Klaus, you and Sam go in first. He needs his father right now. And out of us all, you understand him best right now.” Logan tells them, and dad nods his head before going with Sam and the doctor.
We watch them leave, and shortly after, a few Alphas come into the room. We go to stand up again, but Alpha Kyle stops me.
“Please, Luna, just stay seated. No reason for you to get up all the time, especially when you are pregnant.” He tells me with a smile, and I thank him. Logan still stands up, though, and greets them.
“Alphas.” He says respectfully
“Alpha Logan, this is Alpha Seth. The two other remaining girls that survived come from his pack, White Perl Pack.” The Alpha bows his head in respect to Logan.
“Alpha Logan. I want to say thank you for your warrior saving my packmembers. Even though the third didn’t make it. The girls have been missing for several months.”
“Alpha Seth, I am sorry for the loss of a packmember. But I’m happy at least the two remaining girls can come home now.” Logan answers.
They talk a little back and forward, and they give their condolences for Jacob losing his mate before they leave. After a long time, dad comes out and joins us, telling us that Sam wants to stay with Jacob. We decided that what Jacob need is his father. And we will go see him tomorrow before the tournaments start again. None of us talk about or care about that we lost today. The only thing that really matters is that Jacob is back safely.
So we leave to go back to the packhouse so that I can get some rest before we are going down for tonight’s dinner.
