Chasing Melody {Book 2}✔

23

Chase speeds back in the direction that we came from. His phone lost somewhere at his feet. He seems to be fighting his wolf his eyes are darkening with every passing mile.

"Damn it Chase what's happening?" I know deep down that I don't want to know. There is a pain in pit of my stomach as Chase rushes us back to my parents territory.

"Why didn't you tell me that I wasn't your shadow anymore?" He hisses at me.

"How did you know?"

"Your mother hired a new shadow and..." he doesn't want to finish the sentence he leaves the words hanging in the air.

"Chase don't leave me in the dark." I beg I know that something is wrong. "I'm always in the dark."

"Your new shadow infiltrated the pack house."

"No."

"Your mother was caught off guard."

"My mother," I gasp.

"She was running down the hall when the infiltrator shot her with a dart," his words sink in.

"Where was she running to?"

"She was on the second level," is all he says.

"She was running to my room. She was going to check up on me when I ran from her office, the queen was taken. They have my mother." Chase's eyes stay on the road but he gives me a small nod. "But if that's right that also means," I can't stop the tears from welling up, "my father! The king has fallen. Does that mean that my father..." I can't bring myself to bring the words to the surface.

"No," Chase finally turns to look at me, "Melody! You know that your parents are connected by the mating bond. You know that. That means whatever your mother goes through your father will feel it."

"He isn't her mate Chase!" I yell at him as the tears stream down my cheeks.

"I know but they were able to have a child because there is a connection there so if your mother is passed out so is your father. He has fallen meaning that we have no alpha to take orders from at the moment." He yells at me it appears as if he were trying to convince himself as well.

"Chase what is going to happen? I need to get to my father," the pain in my throat makes it hard for me to talk out loud but Chase can hear me clearly.

"I'm going."

"We need to find my mother." I know that our relationship isn't perfect but if anything were to happen to her I wouldn't know what to do. "We need to find her," a sob escapes me as I say the last word.

I've dreamed about this. I screamed my lungs out thinking that I would be the reason someone I love would get hurt. The strange part is that I never did imagine my mother being the one. She has always been the strong one, the one to never back away from a fight.

Once when my father was out of town meeting up with other alphas another pack, the Moonlight pack, appeared on our land. They are a pack further down south they thought since my father was not in town that they could come here and take over part of our territory. My mother made sure that I was well looked after and went after them. I am not sure of what happened but I never heard of that pack again.

"She's going to be fine. She is a strong woman," he tries to comfort me.

"Get me home," Trevin is now between us as he releases a terrifying howl.

"I know," Chase says to no one in particular.

"Who are you talking to?" I ask wiping away my tears that keep streaming down my cheeks.
