“Don’t worry Amelia, I won’t let anything happen to you,” I muttered.
Then, thirty minutes later, I saw a van parked in front of a dilapidated building. The tracker beeped again, louder this time.
This must be where they are,I thought.
I parked the car a distance away, making sure I couldn’t be directly seen. My wolf instincts kicked in as I stepped out of the car. The faint scent of vampires clung to the air, making my senses alert.
“I can’t risk getting too close, I need to be sure Amelia is here,” I said.
I used my wolf senses to sniff the area. Amelia's scent was unmistakable; she was inside the building.
“Amelia is here,” I said as I continued sniffing.
I sprayed myself with anti-scenting spray to mask my scent and moved to a hidden spot behind debris.
Then, I called my pack to guide them to my location.
“Finn, you’re sure Amelia’s in there?” one of the pack members asked when they arrived.
I nodded grimly.
“Yes, the tracker’s reading is clear. She’s inside. We need to move fast.”
“We can feel the vampires around. What’s the plan?” another pack member asked, his eyes scanning the area for danger.
I clenched my fists, fighting back the surge of anger.
“Vampires are the ones holding her hostage, however there will be some vampires fighting alongside us”
“I don’t understand, when do werewolves and vampires cooperate with each other?” Baris interrupted.
“It’s complicated but I promise to explain later, I need you to trust me as your Alpha.”
They exchanged wary glances but didn’t argue.
“We’re here to save Amelia and her best friend, Sienna. That’s what matters now.”
“You have our full support Alpha,” Damon said as he appeared from the shadows.
“Where the hell have you been?” I asked as I chuckled.
“Wait, am I late?” he asked.
“You are just in time.”
I saw Aidan’s car approach and moved to meet him. He parked, and his vampire underlings followed.
“So, what’s the plan?” Aidan asked.
I held up a hand to signal to my pack.
“This is Aidan,” I said, motioning to him. The pack members tensed, clearly unsure of how to react. I could feel the weight of their unease hanging in the air.
Aidan didn’t waste any time. He stepped forward, his voice calm but firm.
“For now, I need you to forget your differences,” he said, his gaze sweeping over each of them. “Two innocent women are in danger, and that’s what we need to focus on.”
I could see the hesitation in my pack’s eyes, but there was no room for doubt. We couldn’t afford to let old grudges dictate our actions now.
