Chapter 9
CARLYLE’S POV
Scenarios of 1 and Donnie meeting shed through my mind in sequence. The whole thing seemed
like a delusion. It felt unreal. I found it hard to believe that I had just caused myself one of the most
important things of my life.
“Stop whining, fellow. Take steps. The next thing is us finding her.” Laryl chastised.
“Is Donnie really your mate? How did you find out? When did you know? I thought you said you’ve
never seen her…” I was questioned b both elders that were present.
“Do you have an idea of where she could go? Perhaps a family or friend she could be with?” I ignored
the elders’ questions, directing my question to Donnie’s father.
“Absolutely no idea, Alpha. This will be the first time we will find ourselves in this situation. We’ve never
experienced Donnie’s rebellious side in previous times.” He responded.
What next? I was at a loss on what to do.
“Please, Alpha. Help find our daughter. We can’t do without her, she’s all we’ve got.” Donnie’s mother
pleaded, holding my hand as she panicked endlessly.
“I’ll try my best. Sincerely, I will. If not for anything, I have to find her for my personal reasons too. So,
put your mind at rest.” I said. I made sure not to make a promise as I have no idea if I would be able to
find her.
“Laryl, what next?”
“Dumba ss, your primal senses.” He replied.
“Can I have any of her property she wears or uses often? Preferably, a cloth she wore recently.”
“Yes, there are. Why did you ask Alpha?”
“I’ll trace her using her scent and I need something that strongly carries her scent since I wasn’t familiar
with her.”
“Have this.” Donnie’s mother handed me her pillow and hair brush. Sniffing it, it had her scent just
strong enough as I needed. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
“May the Goddess aid you, Carlyle.” Elder Meyer blessed my next step as I headed out of their abode
in search for my mate.
Leaving Donnie’s home, the regret lingering in my chest weighed heavily, urging me to

rectify the mistake I made. The outside air spoke whispers of missed chances as I stepped into the
wilderness, determined to find her. Yet, the daunting reality set in- this wasn’t a quest I could undertake
alone; she had been gone for too long and I would need more capable hands to cover arge
geographical area.
The cold breeze grazed my fur as I pondered my next move. A decision formed like a resolute fire
within me: I needed a search army.
Gathering my Beta, Donald, and a few trusted guards, I conveyed the urgency of the situation, ordering
them on what to do.
Harnessing the ancient technique of my pack, I gathered the search party in a circle. instructing them to
master Donnie’s scent. With focused determination, each membermitted her essence to memory,
imprinting it on their senses. They had no choice. but to do as I ordered.
As we ventured into the woods and approached nearby packs, the mastery of Donnie’s scent became
everyone’s guidingpass.
The woods echoed with the synchronized footsteps of our assembly as our collective howls signaled
the unity of our pursuit. Through dense forests and open fields, we covered vast areas, searching for
Donnie but to no avail. She was nowhere to be found..
“Any news, Alpha?” Elder Meyer asked through the mind-link.
“None. We can’t find her.”
SIDONNIE’S POV
In the stillness of the night, with my heart burdened by an indescribable weight, I began writing a letter
to my parents. The words flowed from my pen, inked confessions of love and regret, exining the
choice I feltpelled to make. Tears stained the paper as I sealed the envelope, a silent farewell
etched in every line.
The room which was once familiar andforting, now echoed with the hollowness of
my
decision. I didn’t want to leave; the very idea was a painful rupture. Yet, circumstances left me no
choice but to embark on an uncertain journey with only a meager collection of belongings.
With each item carefully packed, I felt the tangible weight of the life I was leaving behind. My
photographs whispered memories, and clothes carried the scent of familiarity. The room, stripped of my
presence, bore witness to the quiet departure that unfolded in the depths of the night.
As I closed the door behind me, the heaviness in my chest lingered. The world outside embraced me
with an air of uncertainty, and with every step, the echoes of my departure resonated in the quiet
streets. I wasn’t sure where I was headed but I knew I

have to leave for my future and safety.
With the little I carried, I walked away from the life I had known into a world of uncertainty.
The night stretched endlessly as I walked, each step of mine echoing the tumult within. My worn-out
shoes showed the weight of uncertainty, and the road ahead seemed to extend into an indefinite
unknown. The heaviness in my heart intensified the silence around me.
As I continued walking, the air became increasingly thick, making it harder to breathe. The dim
streetlights cast long shadows, dancing with the flickering thoughts that haunted my mind.
With each passing moment, fatigue wrapped around me like a suffocating cloak. The little bag on my
shoulder felt like an anchor, dragging me down. My steps soon began to falter, as if the ground beneath
me had turned unstable.
Before I knew it, a sudden wave of dizziness filled me, and the world blurred into an indistinct haze.
The sounds of the night became distant echoes, and my knees buckled beneath my body weight. A
profound weakness seized my body, and the edges of my vision darkened.
Thest conscious thought was a silent plea for strength, but it was swallowed by the void as I
sumbed to the exhaustion. The ground rose to meet me, and the world. faded away into
unconsciousness, leaving behind only the echoes of a journey begun and the uncertainty of whaty
ahead.
The moment my eyes flew open, I found myself in a hut-like room.
“You’re awake,” a feminine voice spoke from the entrance.
Alert withplete defensiveness, I curdled up into a small ball ready to charge at any form of
impending danger.
“Who are you? And what am I doing here?” I asked with an intense re
