The Missing Mate Novel - Chapter 9

Jake's POV

I was so excited, finally after 10 years of searching we finally had Bryn's exact location. It's been so hard this past decade, having only just found my true mate and having her whisked away from me so easily. I felt as if I didn't do my job to protect her and I feel as if this was all my fault that she was taken.

We were almost at the pack house an hour later and as we pulled up into the territory, I knew something was wrong. Charlie obviously sensed it as well as he spoke up, "Do you guys smell that?" He asks and we all get out of the car and take a deep breath through the nose.

"Blood" Chase said with a worried expression, and I'm sure my expression matched his. "We have to go find Bryn" I say running off towards the pack house and was startled at what I saw. There were wolfs fighting and dead bodies laid on the grass tinted with blood. Luckily, it looked as if the battle was almost over so I ran into the pack house in search of the Alpha. I found a group of high ranking wolfs in what appeared to be the pack's living room. "Alpha Jake" The Alpha walked towards me with a crying Luna standing beside him. "What happened" I asked and he sighed in sadness. "The neighbouring pack has been trying to take over for years, and they attacked today" He told me and I started to panic.

"Where's Bryn?!" I asked and the Luna's cries got heavier and I frowned. "It's all my fault!" She cried into her mates’ shoulder as sobs raked her body. "It's not your fault honey" He said and she shook her head as tears fell down her cheeks. "Bryn was protecting me, we were upstairs in one of the rooms when two male wolfs broke the door down. She told me to take the kids and jump out the window. I left her alone to fight off two males and she couldn't even shift and now I don't know where she is!" She screamed and broke down into her mate’s arms and I paled. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelceo dot com.
