Belonging to an Alpha

Twenty One

Rayne POV

" Guys we made it."

We made it to the human territory.

" Was it this creepy before?" Eve asked.

I looked around and realized what she was talking about. The people outside weren't as happy and joyfully walking around like they were a couple weeks ago.

" Who know, who cares. Let's just find Jarred and get out of here." Jason said.

I nodded.

" Where do we start?" Eve asked.

I closed my eyes and tried to focus on what Jarred smelled like.

When I got the tiniest little whiff of his scent, I snapped my eyes open and I could see the trail of his scent.

" His scent." I smiled and followed the trail.

" Rayne?"

" I can see his scent. You guys can't smell it?"

" We can but it's extremely faint. It's almost washed away and it's everywhere."

" Just follow me." I said.

They both nodded and followed me as I followed his scent trail.

***

I don't know how long we've been following this scent trail but it felt like hours.

" How much longer?"

" I don't know."

We all stopped to take a break. We bought slushies and sat down. Well Jason and Eve sat, I paced.

" It's some kind of trick, Rayne. I thought about it before but now I'm sure. We've been going around in circles."

" How?" I asked.

" We've passed a couple of things a couple of times."

I groaned I'm serious frustration.

"We've been going in freaking circled."

"Just calm down. I figured out a way to fall out of the trap." He said.

"Okay, how?"

"When you smell him, go to where his scent his stronger. That's as best as I can come up with."

"It's strong everywhere."

"It's got to be stronger in some places than others."

"Even if it is, how do I know?"

"You're his mate. You'd only know."

Of course.

I sighed and looked back out into the random scattered people out and about this time of night.

I closed my eyes and focus on Jarred's scent. When I smelled him again, I focused on it more to see where to go.

" Got it yet?" Eve asked.

" Shush." Jason hushed her,

I even tried listening a bit to see if I could hear even a little speck of his breathing.

Of course I didn't, I heard his heart beat instead so–wait, I got a heart beat!

" He's alive!" I yelled, relieved and ran for it.

" Rayne!"

I ran faster as his heart beat got louder and his scent got stronger.
