Chapter 418 

 I shut off the link as I step outside into the raging storm. Sure enough, after walking ten feet we run into the dense forest that borders alpha’snd. I can faintly smell where he and his security team have marked it out. I train my eyes to the ground as we start picking our way through the dense foliage. Madisyn changes from holding my hand to holding onto my pants pocket as I need my left hand to keep my bnce working through the brush.

 We’re picking our way through slowly enough that I know it’s going to take several hours for us to get anywhere. I’m struggling to maintain my focus, causing us to stop every few minutes. If it wasn’t for the girls calling my name, reminding me of why I fight, I likely would have allowed myself to go unconscious already.

 ‘Cole?‘ I can hear Jamie call through the link as we step out into a small clearing

 ‘Stay where you are. You’ve gotten off course but in a good way. You found the to the pack house.‘ Jamie exins in a hurry but I struggle toprehend.

 I look around slowly, trying to locate a tree to lean against as my vision blurs from the rain and growing pressure in my head.

 “Cole, we have to keep going.” Madisyn’s voice pierces through the rain but I can’t do much more

 than whine.

 “Cole please.” She whines as she tugs on my pocket.

 I push myself up off the tree and start following the path we had found,pletely forgetting what

 Jamie said about the path we are on.

 “Hey there, you must be Cole.”

 A feminine voice I haven’t heard before calls out to me. I can’t help my instincts and immediately

 grab hold of Madisyn who, in turn, grabs my leg.

 “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I’m just a better runner than Jamie is. My name is Mica.

 I’m Jamie’s mate.”

 She speaks easily through her breathlessness from running. I can hear another set of feet approaching before slowing down. The ssic huffing and puffing of a good run catching up with my

 best friend.

 “Damn, man. What the hell happened?” 

 Hearing his voice calms my nerves only to yelp harshly with the booming thunder that’s been silent since we left the cave. His hand barely touches my broken arm as he ces his other under my nose.

 “Breath Cole, I know you can hear my voice but I also know you won’t let me give the girls to

 W Mica without verifying my scent.”

 I take several shallow breaths through my nose hoping it would be enough. Sure enough, he’se

 to our rescue.

 “Cay, I need you toe closer. We need to get the little girl off his back.” Jamie instructs, taking charge of the situation.

 “Her name is Madilyn.” Madisyn corrects slowly.

 “And what’s yours?” Mica asks as her voice gets closer.

 “Madisyn.” For the first time she speaks as if she’s afraid of the wolves she de

 “It’s okay Maddie. If Mica is Jamie’s mate then I have no problems with he pack house. She will be faster than me.”

 “No. I’m not leaving you. You want to sleep. Daddy says sleeping after you hit your head is no good. You have to stay awake. You have to keep going.”

 I can tell that she’s crying, frantically trying to convince me I need her. Honestly, she’s right. I do need her but knowing that she’s safe is far more important.

 “Jamie, I have a knife in my pocket. Just cut the coat from around her or just let me slide my arms out and put it on Mica’s back.”

 “That’s a really good idea, Jamie.” 

 Mica’s voice is right in front of me but I’m in so much pain right now that I’m actively fighting cking out making her nothing more than a talking blob.

 “How much does she weigh?” 

 “About thirty pounds.” I answer as I slowly slip my arms out of the straps I created for carrying her.

 “Her foot has a piece of ss deep inside it. She needs to go straight to Jessa when you get back to the pack house. Madisyn, I need you to be a big brave girl and help Mica get Madilyn the help she needs. Can you do that?” 

 “No.” She whimpers as she sobs/against my leg.
