Fate's Dark Side Chapter 599

Leo told him what had happened and instructed him to help me out.

"May I have her scent?" Casper asked, and I was more than willing to return to our room and bring her blouse for him to pick her scent.

I found the dress she wore and returned with it. I gave Casper, and he sniffed it and handed it to two other men. From how they collected and handled the fabric, I could tell they weren't warriors but trackers. It was kind of Leo to make trackers available. They were the ones that could find her with ease.

Once they were done, we set out to find her.

The trackers shifted while Casper and I remained in human form.

While we sniffed around, trying to see what direction she had taken, I cursed myself for going too hard on her.

I should have kept my mouth shut. It wouldn't have killed me to investigate quietly. Knowing what I knew about Susan, I believed I should have known she would run. Running away was her first response to fear and panic.

We got to the clearing in the woods, and according to the trackers, she shifted and ran into the woods. Casper and I had to shift to follow the tracker so we did not slow them down.

All I could think about while we moved through the woods were the silver-immune freaks that had taken over Brent.

The place we were headed was close to Brent. I was panicking inside, hoping she does not cross into their land because if she encountered those people, I doubted she could defend herself.

We moved swiftly and soon crossed into the woods of Brent.

I could feel the stillness in the air. Even the birds no longer resided in the trees. I wondered what kind of evil lurked there.

Although the people of Brent were sent to Greenville, I never asked them what happened.

I know it wasn't pleasant, judging by what I saw in Pridewood. Their only fortune was that they had an Alpha that put their lives first.

I prayed that Cleo would be safe. Susan wasn't a coward and could hold her own in a fight, but I did not think she could face the silver freaks.

Three hours into the search, we got to a place, and I could smell Susan's scent mixed with blood; I began to push through the woods.

Casper tried to call me back by howling since we could not mind-link each other, but I feared what might have happened.

Rex was quick, and my heart was filled with fear. Those bastards had warned people from stepping foot on that land. I was freaking out.

After running for a bit, I saw Susan in human form naked, Lying in a pool of her blood. I rushed to her, and then I saw an arrow buried in their thigh and one in her side. She was unconscious, and from the look of things, she had been hit for a while, not up to an hour, but it wasn't just now.

Casper caught up to me, likewise the trackers.

I pulled out the arrows and used fabric from her bag to bind her side and thigh to help stop the bleeding.

The arrowhead was made from silver, and I did not need to guess who the perpetrators were.

I cursed under my breath and broke the arrows into two, then I stuffed them into the bag so we could take them back to examine them.

"We must take her back; we have to pass through Brent. If we go back through the woods, we won't make it on time," Casper said, afraid for her life, but going through Brent was suicide; we knew it.

I knew the woods were our best chance if we wanted to get back to Mountain at all.

"No, we have to go back the way we came. The trackers can find a shorter route.

If we encounter enemies in Brent, we would waste more time and wouldn't get to Mountain in time. We are less likely to be attacked in the woods than out in the open," I said.

Casper did not argue with me. He obeyed, and so did the tracker.

I shifted back to my wolf form, and they helped fasten Susan to my back while Casper carried her bag.

I could not rejoice until we reach Mountain, and she wakes up. We were yet to move when the arrows began to fly. They were shooting at us.

I moved back towards the woods, away from where we found Susan and the trackers followed me. The moment we got to the woods, the arrows stopped. I realised Susan got hurt because she advanced instead of retreating. Those bastards were serious when they said they did not want anyone on the land they had taken over.

We entered the woods and started heading back to Mountain. Rex ran fast because time wasn't on our side.
