Joshua It was dusk by the time we finally reached the pack house. I couldn’t wait to have Scarlett in my arms, but I had no idea what to tell her about the meeting. Sam saying that the child spelt like my mate was enough evidence for me that the girl with bouncing blonde curls was hers, but I had left her there knowing she was in servitude and I wasn't sure what Scarlett would say about that. We exited the SUV and I stretched, procrastinating my reunion a bit more when Lotta and Benjamin came walking out of the house. “Alpha.” Benjamin greeted, nodding his head to me. s**t. Why was he being so formal? “What happened?” My voice was aggressive, but I didn’t give a s**t. Where was Scarlett? “Luna went on a run earlier and hasn’t returned. I have patrols searching for her now.” He said.
