The Only Way

Penelope sighed.

“Because Saul has narrowed it down to three people,” she said. “He asked me to help check on two of them.”

“Who?” Ashleigh growled.

“When all the teams were pulled in, the scouts got rearranged. I was placed at the edge along with two other people. One of them, I found not long before I found you. Dead in the snow.”

“What about the other?”

“No sign of him,” she said. “He was already gone by the time the alarms went off.”

“Who?”

“Oren.”

Ashleigh furrowed her brows.

“I know that name…” she said quietly. “Why do I know that name?”

“Because he was one of my brother’s scouts.”

Ashleigh’s eyes widened. She remembered him now. He was one of the wolves that had helped Granger escape. The one that requested to be sent outside of Winter.

“Then he is the one that has Bell,” Ashleigh said. “We need to find him!”
