*Through Xander's Eyes* Two weeks. Sage had been missing for two weeks. Izzy had put a picture of us in a frame and given it to me. We were on ice skates at the rink, holding on to each other. Sweaty and equipped with pads and hockey sticks, we didn’t realize the picture was being taken. We had just beaten Brett and Mark in a mini game and we both had triumphant smiles on our faces. I was looking down the ice and she was looking up at me. Izzy had made it after sobbing and apologizing when she heard the story about Olly in the woods. I didn’t blame her at all but she blamed herself for letting Olly get away. I stared at the picture most days. I was still determined. Her voice played in my head when I woke up and when I fell asleep. “You have a pack to lead, Alpha.”
