Chapter 131: The Scent Trail

Rhett’s POV

“Rhett!” Hayden called out my name as I almost slipped and fell into a landslide. I recovered at just the right moment to brace myself against the ground and jump over it, but the lack of reaction from me was enough to tell my brother that I wasn’t focusing.

I wasn’t focusing, that much was true. My head was filled with about a thousand things and not one of them was anything good. I kept thinking about Eleonore and where she might be, what Bastian might be doing to her in this moment. I thought about how I had promised she was safe with us but Bastian still managed to get her despite that promise.

I caught a glimpse of something rushing past us through the foliage of the trees, and when I trained my eyes onto the blurry figure I saw that Viktor had managed to catch up with us, along with Mason and a few other wolves. I heard their howls not too far behind from us, and Logan paused his running to respond to the other beta and alert him of our precise location.
