Chapter 28: Trouble With the Pack

Blake forgets all about his torn shirt as he hurries out of the room. Connie and Autumn are right behind him as they all head for the lobby doors. As they exit, Autumn observes a very frustrated ground’s keeper. Roy paces anxiously in front of the clinic building. Some of Liam’s pack members are trying to calm him, asking him to sit down and take some deep breaths.

Their concern for a man that isn’t part of their pack warms Autumn’s heart. One thing she can say about Liam’s pack is that they are very accepting in spite of having a fear of humans pressed upon them. Some of the shifters back off as Blake approaches, but a few of them don’t appear to care as much about his Alpha’s status. They stand beside Roy until Blake thanks them and asks them to leave.

“What’s going on, Roy?” Blake asks, concern hanging on every word.

Roy takes a deep breath. “It’s your mother. No one can find her. We searched the sanctuary grounds this morning, but she was nowhere to be found,” he reports.
