Chapter Nineteen

Rylen and the rest of the boys who weren’t already standing, jumped to their feet, ready for action. Poppy’s entrance ignited the necessity for action. Blank faces met her, not yet making sense of what she had just blurted out.

“Did you hear me?” she asked, panting, staring directly at Rylen with a slight slip in focus as her gaze slid quickly toward Mather then back to Rylen.

He shook his head, coming out of a fog. “What did you say?”

“I found a way—well, theoretically I found a way—to locate Alana.” Poppy held up a device, or rather something that looked like the cradle for an octagonal shaped device, no bigger than a quarter.

“What is that?” Mather queried, eyeing the empty item.

“It was where I kept a new locating device I was working on. Similar to a GPS, it’s not entirely finished, but it’s gone. I thought since she was in my office, maybe she could have taken it. It was there before I left.” Poppy examined the item with great confusion.

A gasp of surprise came from Gracie. Her eyes were wide and her expression slightly guilty. “I didn’t know what it was.”

All eyes and expressions of confusion shifted to Gracie.

“What do you mean?” Rylen prodded.

Gracie looked from Rylen to Poppy then around the small group. “I had a vision of that little thing slipping into Alana’s pocket. So I did it, but I didn’t know what it was.” Heat crept up into her face as if she had done something sneaky or underhanded instead of following her intuition and vision.

“Can it help us find Alana?” Rylen’s words held hope for the first time since she left. “Well, yes, like I said, ‘in theory’ if she is able to activate it. I’ve turned it on here on my end, but so far, I’ve got nothing.”

“How does it work?” Enock stepped forward and asked.

“Basically, she needs to turn it on. There’s a pressure spot on the base of the disc, and when she pushes it in, it will activate. The problem is getting someone who doesn’t know what it is—or that she even has it—to activate it,” Poppy explained, leveling the possible excitement to practical reality. Rylen frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger.

“Rylen?” Lucius spoke, his eyes boring into Rylen’s. “Have you and your mate fully bonded?”

Rylen looked up at Lucius’ words with confusion crossing his stare.

“If you are bonded, you should be able to open channels of communication,” Lucius stated as if it was a common thing. Truth was, it wasn’t that common as many shifters didn’t find their true mates.

Rylen never had before in his couple centuries of living. That part of the communication was not at the forefront of his mind. Hope bloomed once more behind Rylen’s eyes. “I wasn’t even thinking of that. Obviously, we haven’t tried before, and I would have preferred to explain it to her and have tested it out beforehand, but I haven’t been afforded that luxury.” Rylen paused and paced over to the stacks of books, both old and new, collecting dust.
