Kennis 7 days. It had been a week without my mate. Although we had narrowed down all of Horus’s villas in the region, I still couldn’t figure out where he was holding Diara. I was distraught and losing my sanity. The only thing that gave me hope was the sense that she was alive; I could feel it, yet I couldn’t establish a mind-link with her. Ana asked about her mommy every day and cried almost every night, waking up from nightmares in which Diara disappeared into the sand. The house felt gloomy, and the pack knew something was wrong. We had yet to address them, but a few, like her closest friends, knew she had been taken from the pack. The door opened, and Emrys, Louis, and Adaline entered. “The latest location was abandoned, too,” Louis reported, plopping down on the sofa with a sigh.
