I froze mid-sentence and glanced behind the pack to Tap’s wall clock. Victoria and Elsie had been gone for nearly half an hour. How much air did they need?

Everyone around the table gave me confused and concerned glances.

“Are you okay?” Laura asked.

“Where are Victoria and Elsie? They should’ve had enough air by now. I need to find them.”

People piled out of the booth to let me by. I scrambled out and raced for the door. Elsie’s scent was strong, but Victoria’s was faint, like it was weak or she had left. Her sweet aroma led me around the building, but nowhere else. It was as though she’d walked around the Faeble and then disappeared into the thin air.

Elsie lay on the ground. I knelt and shook her. “Elsie! Elsie, are you okay?”

She sat up and blinked her eyes a few times. “How did I get here?”

I took a deep breath to clear my head. “You don’t remember?”

“The last thing I remember was being back at Moonhaven.”

“Great,” I muttered. What was the most logical thing that could’ve happened? What could’ve made Victoria’s trail disappear? Clearly, she hadn’t dematerialized.

I helped Elsie up and guided her to the door so she could sit inside.

The door opened before we reached it, and Laura came out. “Where’s Victoria?”

“I don’t know, and Elsie has no memories of what happened. Victoria’s scent is really weak.”

Laura wrapped her arms around Elsie but looked up at me. “Where does Victoria’s scent lead?”

“Just around the building.” I frowned. “To where I found Elsie.”

“But Victoria isn’t there?”

“No. The trail doesn’t lead away, either. I don’t suppose your family has a way of teleporting?”

“I wish.” She sniffed the air in all directions. “What are we going to do?”

“That’s the question of the hour, isn’t it?” I drew in another deep breath. It wasn’t helping to clear my mind. My inner wolf clawed to get out. “Probably going to have to run a locator spell. Soleil or the witches are going to have to do that.” One of my ribs popped.

Elsie arched a brow. “Are you going to shift?”

I patted the stone in my pocket just as my shoulder snapped. “Ugh! Looks that way. Maybe my sensitive wolf nose will give me an advantage. Tell the others to run the locator spell. I’m going to search as a wolf. Maybe even call the wolfborns to help out.”

My hip popped, followed by some ribs.

Her eyes widened. “I’ll get on that. Hurry back.”

“I will.” I doubled over in pain as a series of cracks ran down my back.

Elsie stumbled inside. I stumbled over to the cubbies with our clothes and pulled mine off before the shift shredded them. Between painful pops, I slid the wolf essence stone over my neck so I could change back to human when ready. The necklace would adapt to fit no matter what form I was in. I hoped. That’s what it had done for Victoria.

“Help me find her,” I whispered both to it and my wolf.

A wave of pain seared through me.
