We've run for hours. With each passing minute, her scent gets stronger. Luckily, in wolf form, weâre tireless. Alison has to stay in human form while pregnant, which slows her down. A branch has been snapped and I follow the scent to a little pallet on the ground. She must have stopped and rested for a while. Her scent is almost as strong as it is when weâre together so we've gained some ground.
Dom brushes against me as he joins me in the small clearing. He sniffs around and digs his nose where she lay.
She can't be too far away now. It's strange because we found her faster than it would have been possible for me alone. Dom and I work well together and, even though we can't communicate since we aren't part of the same pack, we don't need to. Our body language speaks volumes to each other.
A sign comes into view as we run across a busy intersection. It says Welcome to Athens. I'm not sure where that is in proximity to Chattanooga, but we've been traveling northeast.
Tires squeal as a car swerves into the emergency lane and slams on the breaks. A person jumps out and yells. "Do you see those wolves?"
The passenger leans over and shouts out the open window. "Get your ass back in here. They're wild, dumbshit."
Why are guys such assholes? I spin around and growl, baring my teeth.
The dumbass falls in the seat and begins rolling up the window.
Dom ignores them and steps in front of me cutting off my view. He gives me a wolfy grin and begins to herd me to the other side of the road.
Humans are so stupid. Sometimes I hate that I can shift into them and look like one, but it's just as much of a blessing as a curse.
Rancid body odor mixed with tobacco fills my nose. Shit, did she catch up to her dumbass husband? We might be too late, because there's no doubt that's his scent.
I rush over to Dom and nip at his tail. He turns and looks at me.
We need to shift back so I can tell him what's going on. I run back five hundred yards in the direction we came from. Even though Dom's confused, he's following, which reveals how much he trusts me.
When I think it's safe, I shift back into my human form. "That scent is her husband. He's here."
He shifts into his human form and frowns. "We have to find her and get her back."
"Not before I rip that jackass' throat out." What kind of man beats his wife? He stopped when she got pregnant until they found out they're having a girl. Once that happened, the beatings resumed. "Kevin thought it was funny when her husband, Freddy, beat her. He'd cheer him on saying even a pregnant lady needs to be put in her place."
Dom wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. "They're pathetic. Let's go." He shifts back and I follow right behind.
Once we find him, I'm going to show him how it feels to be beaten and treated like you're nothing.
