Chapter 121

“You look like you found something?” Jay did not beat around the bush as he led me into the
Alpha’s office.
For a moment, I was taken aback by how much it had changed since thest time I was here. David
had kept the office like his dad had before him. Modern, sleek, and cold. Jay had made the office
his own, it was warm and homely, and I could recognize all the pictures from their home now
adorning the walls in his office. Which included the pictures of A and seeing her smiling looking in
the camera. Happy and carefree, surrounded by her family, felt like a punch to the gut. Making me
wonder if I would ever be able to think about her without feeling like this. But I shook those thoughts
from my mind as soon as they came. I would, because soon she would be back with me where she
belonged.
“Your daughter is a smart woman, she left me a message,” I told Jay and Tessie as I showed them
the picture.
“Oh, that is the one she wanted to print out to hang in your guy’s living room.” Tessie’s voice
trembled.
“And they will my love, we just need the n to find her right, Griffin?” Jay pleaded with me,
desperate to cheer up his mate.
I couldn’t refuse that, I know I would have said anything even remotely true if it meant cheering up
A. Forcing a smile I hoped seemed real enough, I looked up at the two of them.
“Yes, I’m here to see if we cane up with a n together, you know this area so much better
than I do. And Tessie, can you prepare a first aid kit?” I asked Tessie because she was so much like
her daughter.

If they were worrying, keeping them active helped. I was the same, I needed to feel like I was

make the first aid kit I requested. As soon as the door closed, Jay thanked me.
“But you’re actually here toe up with a n to get my baby back, right?” He asked me.
Since I was, we discussed what the best approach was for hours. In the end, we figured we would
make ten groups. Eight started on the outer edge. In all four cardinal and four intercardial directions.
Two groups would run to the spot where I found the photo. I had 19 wolves with me when I found it,
Each group would have two of the wolves that knew to find the direction of the photo. More so
because I imed a tree near the spot. All members of my pack should be able to find it now. It was
a risk as it was a tree David and A clearly passed and if he smelled I imed it. He could be
tipped about me being close, finding A was crucial though. And it was highly unlikely that he
would be out a lot with her. And if he would be, he would probably notice a hundred wolves
patrolling through the forest.
Because that is what we decided to do with the groups patrolling. Each group would consist out of
five wolves from either pack with an appointed Silver Moon and BloodMoon leader. The leaders
would be each other’s equals. This way, everyone could reach each other using the mindlink. And it
would make the BloodMoon wolves who were a bit hesitant about the Silver Moon pack feel safer.
The same would be true for the few Silver Moon wolves who did not trust BloodMoon pack
members, because of what some of them had done to their Luna and Queen-to-be.
“We should go patrol as soon as it is daylight, there is no time to waste. But we need to be sure we
are able to find things if we are out in the woods.” I suggested, and Jay once again agreed with me.

family (inw) the packs wouldpletely trust each other. It was sad the situation with the
BloodMoon pack had gotten so out of hand. When all of this was over. I would have to talk to my
parents about making sure things wouldn’t get out of control for any other pack like this anymore. I
had no idea how we were going to realize that. All I knew was that we needed to, just because
maybe in the future it could save someone for the same faith A had.
The how and when was a worry for future Griffin. It was two am already, and after being on the road
for ten hours. Spending nine of those hours actually driving. Only to go for a run, and find something
heartbreaking during that run, had worn present-day Griffin out.
I needed to be well rested and sharp early in the morning tomorrow. So, sk ipping dinner, I just said
my goodbyes to Jay and went to the guest room assigned to me.
As I was walking out, I texted my parents with updates. I would mindlink the pack members with me
here about our ns for the morning. Walking and texting was no talent of mine, I figured there
wouldn’t be anyone else in the halls right now anyway. Only I was mistaken, so I bumped into a
middle-aged wolf, causing me to drop my phone.
The middle-aged wolf practically flew to the ground to pick up my phone. Handing me my phone,
baring is neck to me. A sign of submission, every wolf knew what it was, and this wasn’t the first
time someone showed their submission to me.
Normally though there was a reason to do so, either because something else put me on edge.
Showing your neck to an Alpha or Royal wolf when they were pis sed off was a smart way to defuse
any situation, the other situations where when you had done or asked something offensive or were
about to. Not something like this where we both not watching where we were going.

“I am so sorry Crown Prince Griffin, I was just going home I watched
some sports at my best friend’s ce. He is the chef so he lives here,
sports at my best friend’s ce. He is th normally there isn’t anyone walking down these halls. I lost
track of time, and I was runningte and didn’t want to worry or upset my mate. She hates it when I
amte, but it was no excuse, though I know…” Raising one hand, I stopped the man’s word vomit.
I wondered what the hell kind of rumors circted about me for this healthy adult wolf to fear me
like that.
“Calm down man, I figured the hallways were empty too, so we both didn’t pay attention it sucks,
but it happens. We were both at fault” I told him thinking that would be the end of it.
But it wasn’t because for some reason this man thought an Alpha could never be at fault. Let alone
a royal wolf, after a bit of pressure the man, who I found out was named Rob. Had been taught by
the Birches that the leaders of a pack can do no wrong. And again I was reminded at how awful
those people had been.
“So, what is your role here in the pack” I asked as I got an idea of how to not only reassure this poor
guy.
But to help Jay, show the pack there was another way. Another style of leadership; a better one. A
happier, more stable one.
“Warrior Sir, in fact, I volunteered to be on the team to find your mate. A is such a sweet girl, you
know. I never got why some of the pack members made such an issue about her height. It’s
probably the fact that Alpha Phillip was such a freak about perfection. I do not agree with what
David is doing now, and I never agree with murder…”
My body instantly grew numb and cold at his words, did this man know something I didn’t? We had
figured out most of the pack honestly had no clue about what happened to A and David. And that
if they would, they couldn’t tell us because of a lingering Alpha

command. Maybe he knew more, but could only just now speak up. Because the Alphamand
no longer controlled him now the pack had a new Alpha. He might have been a bit anxious to tell
Jay and with me reassuring him it might have just been the push in the right direction. So I didn’t
say anything not wanting to make him feel like he could not tell me. Because I needed to hear this
no matter how much I
feared what I was about to hear.
