The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327

13 – Ben

“GO! NOW!” The sharp command from my wolf jolts me upright, nearly throwing me out of bed.

“What? What the hell is happening?” I demand, heart pounding as I scramble to make sense of the urgency.

“She’s in danger! No time to waste. Get moving!” The voice inside me is relentless.

I glance around the room. Elara’s scent still lingers faintly in the air, but she’s definitely not here. She hasn’t been for at least thirty minutes. Damn it all.

Without hesitation, I link minds with the others and take off, trusting they’ll be able to find me. Waiting isn’t an option—I’m too furious, too anxious. Something’s wrong with her. If she’s not hurt yet, she will be by the time I catch up. After everything we witnessed over the last two days, how could she have gone out for a run alone, without protection? And now, she’s paying the price.

I let my wolf take the lead; he seems to have some instinctive way to track her, and I’m not in the mood to question him. Through his eyes, I scan the dense forest as we thunder onward. The scent of water grows stronger with every step. Of course—she wanted to verify Jeremiah’s theory about those rogues using the river to move whatever they’re hiding. Well, it seems she was right.

“Will you shut up already?!” I snap at my wolf, irritated by the constant chatter in my head. “She’s hurt. We can be mad at her for doing her job recklessly later.”

We pick up the scent of the rogues, and my wolf accelerates. We’re moving faster than I ever thought possible. I’ll have to remember this speed for future reference. Suddenly, sounds of struggle and snarling break through the stillness as we crest a small hill. Ahead, Jax and Dev are surrounded, locked in combat with five snarling wolves. But Elara is nowhere in sight. My anger flares hotter, and I charge forward.

“Let’s make this fight a little fairer, shall we?” My wolf laughs darkly. “I can sense her nearby—she’s alive, but something’s definitely wrong.”

“Fine. We even the odds, then search,” I agree, unease settling in my gut. “She’d never leave a fight without coming back, even if she was injured. That much I know.”

We leap onto the back of a gray wolf preparing to ambush Jax from behind. A smaller tawny wolf quickly rolls away, trying to use the distraction to her advantage. But her speed is no match for my wolf’s power. He rips her from the air by the scruff, thrashing violently until her neck snaps, then tosses her aside like a rag doll.

I can feel Jeremiah, Tommy, Jason, and Rayna nearby, closing in. We pull out of the fight and head toward the water, where Elara’s pull is strongest.
