The Brutal Alpha's Tender Daughter novel Chapter 85

"What do you mean?", Levin's voice asked him confused and I followed their voices into the kitchen.

"I don't kow it's something I've smelt in Sia's room before."

"Where are the kids and the caretaker?", Silas demanded to know and Milena answered, "The kids are at friends', but Faith should be here."

She had apparently mindlinked the pack, but all I could focus on was sniffing the entire kitchen for clues that would tell me where my mate had gone.

"Do you think it has anything to do with Faith being from the Mercy pack?", my mother, who had apparently joined us, asked my father worriedly and my wolf roared at what he was hearing.

Fuck! Sophia had been so close to someone from the Mercy pack? Had she known?

"Who?", Silas demanded to know and seemed close to shifting himself.

"She joined us before Nathan had been kidnapped, because the Alpha had killed her mate.", Levke hesitated to explain, but when she saw Silas'murderous glance she hurried to explain more, "She had a female mate and as a punishment for wanting to claim her, your father killed her mate and let her live with the Alpha command to not kill herself. Living without her mate was her punishment."

My wolf growled at the cruelty of the Alpha and almost went beserk when he imagined that Sophia could soon be in her father's grip again.

"I remember her.", Silas suddenly said and his hands formed to fists.

"I remember my father telling me about her trying to scare me. He said that the only reason why he would lift his Alpha command would be if she would ever bring him something of importance."

My wolf howled already knowing what that meant and stormed his way outside.

We could not be too late. Faith did not have that much of a lead, we could still make it.

However, when I had searched all over the territory a few hours later and had not come up with either Sophia's or Faith's scent I crumbled on the floor.

Sophia was gone.

My wolf howled, allowing himself a short time to grief. However, then he sprinted back to the back house and let me take over control again.

Nothing was lost yet, we just had to attack sooner than Silas wanted.

Determined to make them understand I stepped into the pack house only to see my family gathered in the living room.

They all looked relieved to see me, but there was also a sadness there. Milena looked like she had cried over hours, her eyes puffy and swollen. Silas sat beside her, consoling her like only a mate could.

I felt pain pierce my heart when I thought about how just a few hours ago, I had had Sophia in my arms, she had been safe.
