Finding Calypso

The Game is On

Chapter Fourteen

~Ambrose~

I race down the steps of nearly 30 floors to get to the bottom. I couldn't manage to wait for an elevator in this moment with her so close. I get to the bottom floor and grab for the door to enter the lobby. Swiftly I make my way to the front doors expecting her to be waiting for me. But no one was there. I look down the road following her scent, but she is gone.

My beast roars with fury, and some humans walking near by jump out of their skins. I swiftly move away to grab the phone and call her number.

No answer, so I throw the phone and shatter it in the street. My body is shaking as I attempt not to turn into my beast right here. I feel my hands balled in to hard fist, my nails cutting my skin, my claws wanting to come out.

I was so close. So close to getting the only thing that mattered.

I enter back into the building, and catch the sight of my brother exiting the elevator coming to check why I ran out with no word.

"Give me the keys" I say.

With out question Charles tossed them to me and we ran to the car garage.

I drove as fast as I could following her scent down the highway. When all of a sudden it changed direction. I throw a U turn driving over the medium, and my brother grabs the glove box to keep himself steady from the quick change in direction. I look at him and he looked back at me with an expression that says

"We will find her"

We start to get close to her town when her scent enters the forest. We turn down a dirt road to follow it. We didn't make it far down the road when we began to smell that we were in a claimed territory.

Wolves began running along side us warning us to go no further, but I didn't let up on the gas. Their warnings became vicious and my brother said

"Dad is going to be pissed if you get us killed" attempting to be comical, but I found no humor in it being so close to my goal.

We get to a clearing of homes. I jump out of the jeep while it was still moving. I can hear my brother pull the emergency break as I attempt to follow her smell.

When I'm taken down. I try to claw my way through the dirt. But I feel jaws locked around my legs dragging me back. My brother jumps out and addresses himself as a royal guard, and a few of the wolves stop their attack. But it isn't until a young wolf runs up and commands them to stop that the rest recede their advances.

My body starts to heal as I attempt to stand with my shredded calves. My brother approaches and speaks.

"We are looking for someone. We know she is here, we need to come have a look around." He says, with authority.

One of the older wolves that had been apart of the attack now in his human form speaks.

"Our Alpha isn't here. You can not enter until she returns"

"We have every right to enter" I say, pushing my boundaries. Knowing this has nothing to do with royal matters.

When my beast smells her retreating.

I look at my brother.

"She's not here"

I don't wait for him as I take off towards her fleeing scent. I could feel how close she was.

I have never moved so swift.

Her scent sweeps through me. I know she must smell me too. She will know I'm coming. I become ravenous with lust as I feel us getting closer.

From a distance I can see her. In the arms of a man whisking her away. I pick up speed, my beast ready to kill the man with his arms wrapped around my mate.
