This is urgent. Call me back.

Sascha’s name popped up without further delay, and I didn’t waste time.

“What’s wrong? Where are you?” he said.

I clenched my teeth against the urge to tear a chunk out of him for avoiding me. “Are you alone?”

“Yes.”

“Wade was taken by the black wolf. He was supposed to be at mine half an hour ago. I found their scents on the rise behind my cabin. The scents stopped at a road. There were tread marks from a truck.”

Sascha’s growl echoed down the line.

“The tribe can’t handle this right now.” I paced on the porch.

A snarl rode his voice. “The wolf is from my pack. He’s my responsibility.”

“Where do we start?” Wade could be anywhere.

“I’ll call a pack gathering. I’ll force the truth from my black wolves.”

Something he really didn’t want to do.

“I know what he smells like. I can tell you who it is.”

“Outsiders aren’t allowed in pack gatherings.”

“You’ll be a whole lot less popular for bursting into the minds of eighty wolves, Sascha.”

He was silent for a beat. “You’re right. Formality must be put aside. Most of the pack work until four. I’ll call the gathering for then.”

“That’s six hours away!”

“I don’t like it any more than you do, but all black wolves need to be here. No one can be absent, or this doesn’t work, and Wade pays the price for our impatience.”

Tears sprang into my eyes. “He may not live that long. There was blood.”

Sascha swore. “How much?”

“Not much, but he’s injured. This Luther knows what Wade means to me. He’ll hurt him.”

“We’ll get him back, Andie.”

I covered my wet face. “I can’t lose him, too, Sascha. I just can’t take any more of that.”

“I’m here, little bird, and I’m not going to let anything happen to Wade. Okay? I’m going out right now to search for him.”

“I’ll come too,” I said.

“We can’t let this wolf know anything is amiss,” Sascha said. “I need you to stay at the manor today. Until the gathering. It’s normal for me to run between our grids and around the pack lands over the day. No one will think twice about seeing me in wolf form. They will if you’re there.”

I couldn’t sit in stupid meetings all day with Wade hurt. “I can’t just donothing.”

“It’s not nothing. Wade needs you to be smart and calm. Can you do that for him?”

That didn’t feel smart. It felt cowardly and uncaring. But there was logic to Sascha’s words.

“If you find him, please tell me straight away. Tug on the bond like I’ve done,” I whispered.
