With the strength she had left, she squeezed the bars tightly and then shoved hard.
Chapter Twelve
Wolfe had picked up her scent easily.
Tipping his head back, he inhaled and followed where she was going. At some point, exactly where Buster was bitten, Amelia’s scent changed.
He couldn’t recallever smelling anything quite like it.
“Do you smell that?” he asked, turning toward Alpha.
The club brothers were on high alert.It was a scent they couldn’t quite detect.
“I’ve smelled this before,” Enzo said. Hebreathed in again. “I’ve smelled it all over the fucking forest.”
“Me too,” Draco said.
Gunnar, Gray, Ryker, and Rocco all agreed.
“It has a human … twinge of a smell to it,” Alpha agreed. He breathed in again. “It’s mixed with Amelia’s.”
They followed the smell for a good hour, and then came to the edge of their forest.
They had no choice but to head on the main road.
“Split into groups,” Alpha said.
They were all packing. It was rare for them to take guns, but now they were going out into the open, there was a higher risk of them interacting with humans, and clawing them to death didn’t bode well.
With his gun locked and loaded, he slid it back into the back of his jeans and then walked side by side with Alpha. The guys were at their back, with Ryker and Gunnar taking the lead.
“She’s never going to forgive me,” Wolfe said.
“I doubt it.”
Wolfe shook his head, turning toward hisprez. “Are you kidding me, right now? Where is my guy? You know, the one that is supposed to have my back?” he asked.
“Youwant me to lie to you. Fine, Amelia, is going to look at you and see the man she loves. You’ll mate, have lots of babies, and live happily ever after.”
“Now, you’re laying it on thick, man. Geez. I was just hoping for…”
“What? Me to coat it in fairy tales? You told her to her face that she lied. You convinced the club that she lied. Then, of course, I’m not even getting started on the fact that she’s … supposedly weak.” Alpha shook his head.
“Come on, you’re telling me that you’d still mate with a woman who is weaker than you?” Wolfe asked.
“Yes.”
“Idon’t believe you.”
“Believe what you want to. You’d think after seeing Draco’s pain, youwould’ve gotten it by now.” Alpha chuckled. “I’m guessing not.”
They continued to walk for several miles, which didn’t make this any easier for him.
“I didn’t mean to fuck anything up,” he said, admitting the truth.
“Okay.”
“Dude, you’re not going to help me out?”
