Finding Forgiveness
Chapter 26 Chapter 26

Leo's POV

I was at the base in the pack headquarters with people rushing around all over the place at my command all working to bring my son back. I had men heading out in every direction in hope of stopping the car before it crossed the border and the intelligence department doing everything they could to find even the tiniest nugget of information that could help up. But so far, there was nothing.

"Alpha," Luca said as he marched into my office whilst I was discussing my next move with Blair and a few other military advisers.

"What is it, Luca?" I asked in a harsh tone. In hindsight, I shouldn't have snapped at him but this had all resurfaced my buried anger for him for co-starting all this with me.

"Ella's gone," he said gravely. "Antonio just called.”

"Gone?" I asked deeply. "You mean he let her escape?!"

Luca swallowed and nodded.

I took a sharp breath in and clenched my fist before bringing it down hard on the table.

"Blair, close off the borders again. Tell the guards to check every vehicle that drives through and to have the woods covered too,” I ordered. "Luca, tell IT to shut her credit card down and try and locate any signals from her phone.”

"Yes, Alpha,” they said before leaving the room

"We'll continue this later," I said to the men remaining in my office. "Keep me updated but right now I need to deal with my disobedient Luna."

They nodded and left as I began to dial Ella's number. No surprise she didn't pick up. She was smart enough to know that if she did, I'd be able to track her down.

"Fucking hell," I cursed after calling her multiple times. "Max!"

A few seconds later, he appeared in the office.

"Ella has somehow escaped and I'm putting you in charge of stopping her from going anywhere near Mexico. You've been on the run with her before so you should know how she will think and what she will do,” I said. "Do you think you can find her?"

"She's smart Alpha and she won't be acting predictably,” Max replied unusually quietly without looking me in the eye. "But I'll try."

He then turned for the door.

"Max, wait," I said stopping him. "What aren't you telling me?"

He hesitated for a moment and turned back around with a sigh.

"She's 24 years old, Alpha. Not a kid anymore but a woman. She's also Cato's parent too. Don't you think that this is her decision?" he asked.

I stared at him for a few seconds but pushing his words out of my head, "Max, put your personal feelings aside and just follow my orders."

He nodded, "Yes, Alpha. Of course.”
