Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 75

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.
