Chapter 29

　　Dane had managed to avoid Jack, only to bump into Lucas and Alpha Roland, who gave him a hearty thump on the back.

　　“My boy, don’t tell me you still haven’t found that mate of yours yet?” Roland questioned.

　　“Not yet,” Dane replied with a sigh. “She’s here, but as soon as I catch her scent, it’s gone again.”

　　“Well, don’t just stand there. Off you go.”

　　A shrill scream reverberated through the room, stopping people in their tracks.

　　“She’s dead!”

　　“Oh my Goddess, someone’s been murdered.”

　　“There’s a body outside!”

　　Snippets of conversations flitted from person to person, snaking their way through the crowd.

　　“Boys,” said Alpha Roland in a somber tone. “If you don’t mind, I’d appreciate your help.”

　　Lucas and Dane followed Roland outside where a large crowd was gathering on the stone path. Dane could smell her. His mate. He was getting closer.
