Lost in this World

Chapter 9

Eli’s POV

I saw Sara running with Cedes up the stairs of her apartment building. Max was on high alert and we couldn’t get her scent out of our mind. It felt like it was engulfing us the entire time. So far my men had got sight on about 5 rouges in the area and we went on alert. Sam, my second in command, had the same look on his face as I assume I had earlier when I caught Cedes scent. As we started to encounter the rouges, we start fighting them off. I know exactly who they are after.. it’s Cedes they are wanting. She’ll be 19 soon and her wolf is starting to surface, it’s just a matter of days before she makes connection with her. Max alerts me stating that Grace is fighting one rouge at the back of the apartment and that another has started for the stairs. I take off running in that direction.

Once I get there, he’s at the top scratching at the door and trying his hardest to get in. The rouge looks like he has mange. Bits of fur are missing throughout his coat, I’m assuming he once had a decent coat but being rouge and rough life it’s bound to happen. He turns and stares at me with his red eyes, snarling through his muzzle. I release Max and allow him to take over. Max is a pretty large wolf, he’s solid black with a white star just like other royal blooded wolves. My blue eyes become darker almost black with Max. He charges at the rouge and it’s not long before we have him rolling down the stairs as we pounce and pin him down. He’s snapping his jaws at us and the right timing we get a bite to his throat and clamp down.

Silence resides. Grace comes around the corner looking pretty disheveled and gasp. She tosses us a pair of shorts and I see the magic flow from her towards the rouge and he’s gone.. “Hello Max, I haven’t seen you in years. Thank you for helping. I know you have found your mate with Cedes. Sara has begun informing her of who she truly is and where she came from. Sara believes her wolf has communicated with her” Grace says to my wolf. Max shakes his head and starts to walk towards a bush, we morph back to my form and I throw the shorts on. I come out and Sam is doing the same. He looks at me and says, my mate is here. I can sense her. I smell ocean and citrus.
