We scourged the forest searching high and low. Half of our party remained human, the others shifting to wolf. Blain, Aiyana’s father was beside himself. He’d lost her mother in childbirth. He couldn’t lose her, too. His wolf wouldn’t survive the loss.

In groups of two and three and we spread out, widening our search. Aiyana was only three. She couldn’t have gone far.

“Aiyana!”

“Aiyana!”

We shouted for her. Those in wolf form howled for her.

The sun was setting and night would be upon us soon. Evenings in Lethbridge often hit freezing temperatures. Already we were getting smatterings of snow flurries followed by cold rains. We were in that in between time with the seasons where mother nature was still trying to make up her mind. Aiyana wouldn’t survive a night alone in the elements. We had to find her.

A howl unlike the others rent the air. It was a warning and every hair on the back of my neck rose. Hunters were in the woods.

A fresh wave of dread crashed over me. Embry ran up beside me, his face pinched in concern. “Humans are in the woods. Do you think… ?”

“No.” I shook my head vehemently. They wouldn’t have come this far in the woods. They couldn’t have her.

Another howl and we were running. Dammit. “I know you don’t like killing them—”

“Let me handle this,” I ground out, pushing myself to go faster. He was right. I didn’t like killing the humans. I didn’t want to see them as my enemy. But if they had Aiyana… if they’d hurt her…

Trees blurred around me as I raced toward the wolf who’d cried out his warning. What I found had me skidding to a stop and dread settling deep in my stomach.

“Red?”

Embry cut me a surprised look at my recognition of the human who stood before us. I’d been less than two hours since we’d parted. Had he even left the woods? What was he still doing here?

Beside him was another man I recognized, and I wasn’t the only one. He’d been the one to injure Embry.

A snarl curled Embry’s lip as he stepped forward intending to do God only knew what. I reached out, wrapping a hand around his bicep. “Don’t,” I cautioned.

He sent me a sharp glance but stepped back. I released the breath I’d been holding, surprised that Embry had listened for once.

“We’re not here to cause trouble,” Red said, unzipping his jacket and exposing what was hidden beneath.

I sucked in a breath as Aiyana’s raven colored hair spilled out.

“What did you do to her?” Embry roared. If it weren’t for my grip on his arm, he would have lunged forward and ripped into Red. As it was, I was barely able to keep him back.

The two other wolves, Jacob and Yuli—who’d discovered Red and his companion—growled and whined beside us, unsure of how to respond when Embry clearly wanted to attack and I was doing everything I could to keep him from doing that.

“No one attacks. We need answers,” I bit out the command.
