Chapter 32

Axel was running towards home, Lilly's scent getting stronger as he went, proving he was right, making him and his bear snarl. His heart was racing, his blood pumping faster and faster. He had to check on Ayliah to make sure she was okay, to make sure she was safe and still asleep, that no one is there to harm her, that Mike was watching her. His paws hit the ground roughly, the ground shaking beneath him as he ran snapping any twigs and branches he landed on, uncaring of the sting in his paws, he didn't care for anything except for checking on his mate. He ran by the trees, curving around each one in front of him, leaves and branches smacking against his body as he ran faster, mud splashing over his coat of fur, the cold wind whipping through his fur making him slightly shiver. The closer he got home, the stronger Lilly's scent was, she had to of been here within the last hour, she making them chase her, to follow her stupid plan.

He was almost home when a strong scent hit him and he stops dead, his claws digging into the dirt, his heart dropping. Blood. He could smell blood as his eyes widen, his heart skipping a beat and he fears for his mate, and he runs again, his muscles burning along with his lungs, almost tripping from his speed, finally making it home in no time.

He was scared to go inside and see, he was scared of who's blood it was, he wouldn't be able to handle it if it was his mate. His body shaking, with a deep breath his bear jumps up onto the porch and barges into the house to halt at a stop from the scene in front of him. Mike was laying on the floor, blood all around him, a blanket on his on stomach that was covered in red from his blood. His face almost white, his mouth turning blue, he could see he was still breathing, but his breaths were slow and shallow, a long pause between each breath. Him and his bear whine, a member of his clan injured from trying to protect their mate. Something he should of done instead, not go looking for a stupid girl. He hears noise to his left and lets out a low growl, his teeth bared, as he stands on his hind legs, ready to attack whoever was in their house.

"Axel it's me! Ayliah called me to tell me Mike is hurt, I have an ambulance coming... she- she wasn't here when I got here Axel," and when he heard that he let out a loud roar, his body shaking with fury as he tries to keep himself from going mad, he stalks down the house following his mates scent to the bedroom. Her sweet scent was faded, he already knew what that meant. A snarl rips through his throat as he sees a bit of blood on the hard wooden floor, and in the corner sat a cap, the type that would house a needle. Someone had knocked her out, if he was in his human form he would of shifted from the anger and fury running through his blood. His mate was gone, someone had harmed a member of his fucking clan and took his mate. They had a fucking death wish. His claws dug into the floor, ripping the wood up, his muscles bound tight he was so close to snapping. A light shines on his left side and he looks over and notices her phone on the ground, and his gun next to it. She had grabbed his gun to protect herself, Axel couldn't help but feel like shit, a failure of a mate. He had said he would protect and he didn't, he sees his name on the phone and the feeling gets stronger. She was even calling him, after he made sure to put her phone close to her, she had tried to call him for help and he left his fucking phone in his clothes. An anguish cry left him as he swipes at the dresser, his claws slashing through the wood breaking the dresser as it falls over in a loud crash, but he didn't care, his mate was gone and it was his fault. He was growling and snarling, swiping at anything near him, he was trying to calm down a bit, to try and think but his bear was overpowering him, his bear anger, hurt from not protecting his mate like he should have. He was finally able to shift back after he tried to calm down his bear, telling him that this wasn't going to help get Ayliah back, he was no where nears calm but enough he could shift back to himself so he could talk Sarah for a moment, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold his bear back long. He stomps out to the living room, and finds Sarah talking to the paramedic, he didn't even hear them coming as he was in his fit of rage, trashing everything in their bedroom, the room was a complete wreck and he didn't give a shit.

"Text Derek and Jarred, tell them what happened and get the fuck over here and follow my scent," he growls out, his body burning and tense, his voice more his bear than himself. His bear was pushing and he wasn't going to be able to hold on much longer. They were going to get over here and fucking help him find his mate or so help them, he will kill each of them for making him leave his mate.

Sarah nods fast, the anger wafting off him had her shaking in fear, she has never seen him so angry, his face harsh. His eyes were the colour of his bears, his look intense and deadly, his body stiff, each muscle flexed as he tried to remain somewhat calm, he looked deadly, and she knew his thoughts wouldn't be any better. She messages Derek, and then calls him to let him know what's happening, the Clan Leader voice was loud as he yells. He felt for his best friend, to have someone take your mate was enough to drive a bear mad, to go off the deep friend, they needed to help Axel before he completely looses it.

Axel doesn't wait to hear anything, he stalks out of the house before he jumps over the porch and runs off into the forest, shifting once again into his bear, a large roar rang out in the forest, the ground shaking from the power as the trees and leaves swayed from noise, letting everyone and anyone around know, that he was coming.

Ahhhh man, shit is about to go down lol. Get ready... it's about to get really crazy and everything is coming out. I'm writing it all as I'm going cause I can't hold this in lol.
