<b>Chapter </b><b>421 </b>
My territory is one of thergest ones known to the council at 625 square miles and <b>I’ve </b><b>been </b>looking to expand. Fortunately, the pack house is situated right in the middle of what used <b>to </b><b>be </b><b>a </b>100 square mile territory so it’s rtively close to the southeast border. I find the path they are <b>on </b>easily and run blindly through the rain. I have no time to think as I know by the way I feel Madilyn that the girls are dangerously close to hypothermia.
I run as fast as my human form can down the path, south into the woods. With every stride I can <b>feel </b>Madilyn’s link getting stronger but I can also feel her getting weaker.
‘Madisyn, I know you’re tired, cold and scared but we have to keep going. Madilyn said she linked with your dad. We can’t be that far from the house and a warm bath.‘
I can hear Mica struggling to get Madisyn to keep going. After a mile at
int my body forces me to tone it down as beingpletely spent won’t do them any good <b>and </b>I know Damian has not caught up to me. I slow to a steady jog even though I can feel Madilyn wanting to sleep.
After another mile, I’m relieved when I can finally see them up ahead. I start slowing down as Mica spots me. I don’t like the wariness and fear thates across her face as she spots me as well.
“You must be Mica.” I try to speak casually, testing her receptivity to me.
“Yes sir.” Her voice shakes giving away her nervousness as she stands leaving Madisyn curled in a ball on the ground.
“I’m not certain where Damian ended up but we need to get headed back to the house. Are you okay carrying Madilyn?” “Yes sir. I just can’t carry both.”
I bend down and easily scoop Madisyn up off the ground before rubbing my hand on the back of Madilyn’s head. She opens her eyes but just barely. This weather is getting to them in a bad way.
“Come on. We’re about two miles from the pack house.”
<b>I </b>speak loudly as the booming thunder has be more frequent. Madisyn wraps her arms around me and buries herself as deep into my neck as she can get<b>, </b>sobbing hard and softly calling for Cole.
We start walking again. I’m quite/frustrated with the fact that Damian isn’t here as I need to get further down the path to <b>get </b>to Cole.
‘Where are you?? <b>I </b>can’t hold back my impatience but he doesn’t answer.
<b>The </b>ssic putter of my myle can be heard closing in <b>and </b><b>for </b><b>once </b>his <b>defiance </b><b>is </b><b>a </b><b>life </b><b>saver</b><b>. </b><b>He </b>slows to a crawl as he approaches with <b>the </b><b>four </b><b>seater</b><b>. </b><b>He </b><b>had </b><b>the </b><b>presence </b><b>of </b><b>mind </b><b>to </b><b>get </b><b>the </b><b>one </b>
with the rain cover installed on it.
“I’m sorry, dad. This is the only thing I’mfortable with driving.”
He exins quickly as I unzip the stic door and set Madisyn on hisp.
He quickly grabs a towel and wraps it around her violently shivering frame. She grabs a hold <b>of </b><b>him </b>much like she had me. I take Madilyn off Mica’s back before helping her into the mule. Damian tosses two towels to her as I situate Madilyn onto herp before hopping in and Damian fakes <b>off</b><b>. </b>
We travel another two miles down the path before I can vaguely see Jamie supporting Cole’s badly struggling frame. They have stopped and Jamie is struggling to keep Cole standing. I have no idea how any of them made it this far in this weather.
“Day, I need you to travel down the path until it widens out so you can turn
I hop out of the mule without Damianing to a full stop, crossing the path once he pulls away.
“Looks like you could use some help.” I yell over the roaring rain.
“He’s cked out, sir. My aura isn’t strong enough to scare him into continuing.” His voice is nervous as I approach.
