The Lone White Wolf (Book one)

Chapter 53

NATHANIEL 

I cannot believe she said that.

I was sure we were heading in a different direction. I thought she would want to talk. I had to let her go; her power was magnificent but also powerful.

Emily was in tears and wanted to be with her. So did Miles and me, too. But Anna told us to let her calm down, as she had been through a lot, with all the lies, secrets, and hurt. She's in pain with everything.

I know who I blame, George.

I looked at everyone and needed to get away.

I walk into the pack house, walking past my mate's room. I can tell she is in there, but someone has covered up her scent. I want to make sure she's okay and tell her I am not who she thought I was anymore.

"Leave her be Nate. She needs to calm down," says Emily from behind.

I look behind her and see her walking hand in hand with Dane.

I smile back at them. "I know. I just want to know if she's ok, Em, how are you? I still can't believe she blamed you," I say, and her face says it all. Hurt and anger spread across her face.

"My father has a lot to answer for; he not only took her memories away but mine too. I only have had some back and need to know if I was present at any of it," she says. I nod.

I look back at Dane. "What are you thinking, dude?"

Dane looks taken back at my question. "Why are you asking me that? It's not fair what's going on, but I think we need to talk to George," he says. "He took away their memories for a reason, but he won't give them up without a fight, I don't think."

I look back at him and look towards my mate's bedroom door. We all need answers.

"Let's go to the cells. We all need answers," I said. "I think we let Mila calm down and once she has, we can give her all the information we get from him."

They both nod.

"What about Miles and Anna?" asks Emily. "We need them to be there, too."

I nod. "Both of you go. Tell Anna and Miles what we are going to do. I'm also going to have my father come with us too, as he will want answers as well," I said.

They nod and leave towards where Miles and Anna are staying. I can't help but not move for a little while. I look back at the door. I hope she is ok. I sigh.

"She will human. She is our mate," says Ox, but I can tell he is anxious about everything, too.

I opened a mind link with my dad.

"Dad, Mila is back with Archer. She was still angry and upset. We will leave her to calm down, but we need to interrogate George. We need to know what he knows," I said through the mind link, leaving out everything that Dane, Emily, and I were talking about earlier. "I think it will help us as a pack and also will help Mila know more when she calms down."

"Son, that's what I've been thinking. Meet me at the cells," he says.

"Dane and Emily are going to be there, and they're also bringing Miles and Anna with them. They need answers, and Emily still is missing some of her memories," I say back to him.

"OK son, I will meet you there," he says. We close the mind link down. I look at the door one more time and head back towards the house's back entrance where the cells are located.

The cells are like an old bombing bunker. It holds up to fifteen cells. I make it to the cells, where everyone is waiting for me. I open the door and head down the stairs. The smell of blood fills my senses in my nose.
