Where is the Gone girl?
******Flashback to day 2 in Paris******
POV: Dayton
I woke up to beating on my door, it was Nicholi, I smelled him thru the door, nasty. All I heard was him laughing. “ Go take a shower you drunk.” I just heard him laugh even more.
“ Get up we have a meeting in two hours.” He huffed out through laughter.
I just rolled over and finally got up. I didn’t mean to sleep so late. My wolf has been restless since yesterday morning. I got up and showered and put on a black suit and tie. All of this has given me time to think. I need to choose a mate soon. I’m 25 now and still, she hasn’t made herself known, I say that but I really searched for her too and couldn’t find her.
I’ve already taken over my father's pack but my uncle is stepping down soon and needs me to take overseeing as they don’t have kids, it’s left to me, they are getting older now and they should have stepped down a while ago. I am meeting with my uncle to discuss pack financing….. not boring at all but it needs to be done. Nicholi finally cleaned himself up and we made our way into the city.
We had brunch at this tiny restaurant, that only served breakfast and it was pretty empty seeing as they were about to close. There was a faint smell from the booth behind us and it was mouth-watering. I figured it was just the smell of the food that was from the kitchen. I didn’t really think much more of it.
After an hour of discussion and transferring over copies of finances and pack records, Eric and I catch up, while Nicholi was still stuffing his face, the boy can eat.
Eric was telling his plans for Wednesday, he was meeting this Luna and her daughter for dinner, they come from America. What caught my attention was the background story of her daughter, how she died when she turned sixteen but what stunned me was no one knew how she was still alive. I wasn't supposed to know about her backstory. Seeing as I’m taking over my uncle's pack and we are getting much bigger, gaining more allies could help. So any information about this pack could help my case.
For some reason my heart stopped when he told me that she died, I honestly don’t know why I care. Not to sound mean I just don’t know why I care about someone I never met. Since I didn’t meet my mate when I was 18, it’s made me a cold angry person. It’s been 7 years and nothing, but family and work have distracted me. I don’t sleep around never had, but I’m getting tired and my wolf is restless.
We walked outside and said our goodbyes. I smelled that faint smell again, it smelled like fresh flowers and blueberries.? I love blueberries but that’s kinda strange. I started walking towards the smell and Nicholi followed behind me confused.
“ what are you doing?” He asked.
“ What do you not smell that? “ he just nods no and I feel the pull to keep looking and following.
Nicholi goes to complain, and I just growl in my alpha tone and he shuts up. As we got on top of the tower it was stronger, I looked around and all I have seen was dark brown hair moving fast. The tourists starting filling in all around us and I try to run to her but she was gone, all that was left was a silver bracelet that had a heart and wings charm and it was in the grave with the word Angel. I smelled the bracelet and my wolf howled in my head, and said the words I never thought he would say, “MATE.”
I made Nicholi call in 10 of my best wolves to search the area. After many hours of combing the streets and up to five miles of the surrounding area nothing. It was like she had vanished but I’m not giving up hope just yet.
**Current Day Now Friday**
POV: Dayton
It’s been two whole days and still no sight of her or at least her scent. I don’t want to leave knowing that she is here, waiting for me to find her, it’s driving me nuts, in all honesty. My uncle and aunt insist that I go to America to this packs party for their kids and that girl, that piqued my interest. The party is on Sunday so we will be leaving Saturday. Why am I think about this family when I should be out searching personally for my mate. My anger got the best of me and I started smashing everything in sight.
Nicholi comes barging in and forces me to calm down, he is lucky he is my best friend, or else I would have ripped his head off of his shoulders.
POV: Nicholi
It’s been at least two days and our trackers and warriors are exhausted, we are combing every brown-haired girl that somewhat smells like this bracelet, which the scent is quickly fading. I guess is a good sign that means she is probably a wolf, a wolf's scent naturally fades after a few days, depending on how long they are without it.
Since she is a wolf I made the decision to ask him to go to his uncle's pack which is the closest. If she was in our pack he would have already known who it was, unless she Is really good at avoiding her alpha. As I walk to his office I hear yelling and loud banging. I barge in and see Dayton, going mad with anger and smacking everything in sight. After holding him down and punching him in the jaw once a good time I finally managed to get him to calm down.
“ Now that I got your attention, I have news. Do you want the good news or bad first” I said.
He growled at me and said, “ Stop playing games and just tell me what the h*ll is it!”
I just gave up on trying to lighten the mood and said, “well good news we know she is a wolf and might be in your uncle's pack, but the bad news is the scent is fading quickly since she is a wolf, it makes it nearly impossible for us to track her.”
I watched as he clenched and unclenches his jaw. “ okay first thing tomorrow before we get on that plane, we will search through my uncle's pack again, maybe she just turned of age for a mate now or a year ago. Since it has been a hot minute, we will find her. I not only need her but the pack does as well.”
I admire that about Dayton, he has so much strength. He has waited so long to find his mate and hasn’t complained once, I on the other hand have been waiting just as long and, I’m nearly losing it. I drink at night to fall asleep, I am so restless without mine I can hardly focus, but I do. For my alpha and my pack.
“ if we find her in his pack tomorrow morning, will you be bringing her with us? I asked curiously.
He sighed and put his hands on his face and said, “ yes, it’s been 7 years, I will drag her kicking and screaming if I have to.” All I could do was chuckle.
He snapped his head to me, “ Why are you laughing?.....
“well I could only imagine what she is like, Day but If she is anything like how I imagine she is, I think you might have your hands full, you are made for each other after all.”
He could only laugh in agreement. The next few days I feel are gonna be a wild ride and I am ready for it. Something in me is telling me to be ready for it.
