Chapter 14: Race against time...

I burst out of the meeting room, my heart hammering in my chest. I was afraid.

The discussion about the sudden attack by the Ferals faded from my mind. All I could think of was Lax telling me that Lyla was in danger.

That girl was going to be the bane of my existence. Couldn't she just listen to me for once? If she hadn't left the pack, all of this wouldn't have happened. I stormed over to the outer gates, anxious.

"Alpha, what's going on?" Lenny panted behind me. "Where are we going?" 

I didn't slow down. "Someone is in danger. We need to find her now!"

Lenny frowned, confused. "Find who?" He asked. "If the person is truly in danger, as you claim, shouldn't we go with some warriors or backup?"

"We don't have time for that, Lenny," I snapped, finally walking through the gate.

Now that I was outside, I paused, trying to detect her scent. Thankfully, there was still the faintest smell of her lingering in the air.
