CHAPTER 35

  Liam was consumed by worry and fear as he frantically searched the forests and his surrounding territory for any sign of Nicole. He had changed back into his human form when he was far enough from everyone to keep himself from losing his mind.

  What if she ran away? Someone said through the pack link.

  He could feel some stakeholders buying the idea that she escaped because she couldn't deal with the pressure of being a witch bane. Witch banes were known to be lone wolves and couldn't stay with packs.

  Most werewolves believed that they were selfish. None of them knew that he had marked her yet. It was why they couldn't understand his urge to find her.

  Because, in the past, he did everything to get back a single pack member who went missing, he suspected that they thought that it was the usual. They didn't know that it was much worse than that.
