Chapter 123 

Graysons POV: 

We got there too late of course. 1 ripped the door off the hinges; it was all I could do. 

We went to Seattle. I went to the hotel, a wolf owned hotel. I brought Lilli and she was able to pick up Annette’s scent 

“She was here but it’s too faint for her to be here still,” she didn’t meet my eyes when she told me. 

If I didn’t know he’d shoot me onsight I’d march up to my fathers ivory palace and break his bones until he told me. It would leave my son all alone and I won’t let that happen. 

Luckily the owner of the hotel stayed in his place of business and he must be friends with Marcus to have lent him a whole floor. I walked into his office and took off my coat and Matt and Brian stood at his doors. 

*You know Marcus Cathal?” I asked him as he glared at me but the fear, the fear floated in his eyes. 

“I’m a member of the Waxing sea pack,” he growled at me. 

“I know,” I rolled up my sleeve. “Who do you think gave me my proof,” I slid my phone over my wife’s determined but shaken expression, froze frame for him to see. 

“My wife, the mother of my child, was taken from me,” I walked over to his side of his desk, a bead of sweat trickling down his neck. “Marcus Cathal took her and all of those people who have helped him keep her from me from our baby,” I leaned down next to his face and he shuddered as I bared my teeth. “Will have to pay the price,” 

“I didn’t know he had a woman with him I never would’ve allowed that, I swear. I didn’t know you had a child. I wouldn’t do that to a family to such a small–Aaahhh–AAHHHH,” he screamed as I slammed my fist onto his hand that was laid over his desk. 

I 

I felt the little bones snap piece by piece when my fist came down again. “You know where he went,” I demanded. “If you want a functional hand for the rest of your life tell me. 

“He went south, he’s borrowing a vacation keep from an enemy of your wife’s,” he explained. “She marked the son,” he looked up at me holding his swollen and purple hand. 

Thank you,” I smiled and stood up putting my coat back on. “I’ll leave you to your alpha,” 

“No! No you must defend me I gave you what you want,” he whimpered. 

“And yet I am not the one you have to answer to,” I smiled as I saw the realization in his eyes. 

Marcus had promised him something I’m sure, the land of Seattle, some of my fathers empire, anything he had to give that wasn’t his at all. This man was one of many who’d fall to pain in the name of a coward who never sullied his 

hands. 

We got to the keep and it was a ghost town but again Lillianna told me. “I’ve got her scent,” she looked over at me as

Chapter 123 

we walked down the stairs to the basement. The cell silver bars and her scent were all over it, enough for me to smell IL. 

We sat there looking at it the horror of what she had survived these last few months. Charlie walked up the stairs and Ella followed him but James stayed his eyes open to the place she’d been kept. 

The window to the cell was covered and the glass was new that must have been how she had escaped. The bed was nice, everything was nice but it wasn’t her taste in any way. 

There was a closet of clothes and I smiled to myself remembering the nightgown I had seen her in. She’d refused to take his pretty things and refused to be his by any means. I went to the sheets and grabbed a handful and smelled them. She was here but for the second time in one week we weren’t there on time. 

“Grayson, her scent it’s up the staircase too,” Lilli ran up the stairs following the smell of running after a ghost. 

I knew she wouldn’t find her anywhere nearby all I could ask for was a little bit of hope. Lilli ran up the stairs and James followed their thinking echoing down to me. 

I took one last look around the room and then I grabbed the cell door my palms hissed and sizzled at the touch of the silver but I ripped the door off the hinges. 

I followed them and to my surprise they were out in forest. “She left Grayson she left but I don’t know if she was with someone or not, I can smell her with a mother girl and man but I don’t know them. 

The dozens of bullet casings mixed in with the dirt scared me but it also told me she didn’t leave on Marcus’s terms. 

There was another scent lingering in all of this. I didn’t want to admit it was his, but he had a hand in this. 

**What happened? 

**what do I do, tell me what to do netta 

**where did you go? 

I hated that I couldn’t tell the truth. I wanted to look at it all around me but my head was spinning with all the 

different turns I had taken in the last week and half. 

The unbelievable bliss of seeing her on that screen and then missing her like sand in the wind twice now. I don’t think she left on good terms and I don’t know where she would go but I did know that she’d tell me. Some way she’d tell me. 

We followed the scent and at the road she’d gotten into a car I don’t think it was one Marcus owned as the cigarette butt Lilli turned her nose up at smelled human. 

“What do we do now, how do we find her?” Charlie scoffed. 

“We don’t,” I realized. This whole time I was trying to get to her trying to save her, and I was grabbing at straws. “If she’s escaped again and she’s had help this time she’ll find us we just have to wait,” 

“You’ve got to be kidding me we finally have a lead and you wanna back off!” Charlie almost charged me but Ella 

grabbed his arm.

Chapter 123 

“He’s right!” James stepped between us. “Anna is on the run but I trust her to be smart enough to make it home. It’s Anna she will survive,” 

“No, we have do something.” 

“Do you think this easy for me she’s my wife I’ve killed almost a hundred men to keep her safe. I would much rather try and find her but if we do that we might lead Marcus to her and then what happens!” 

“We can’t leave her on her own! 

“She’s not though we all know she has someone with her,” Lilli squinted at him. 

So we went home and I stretched out my mind for her. I couldn’t find her but instead of darkness there was wilderness. 

tell me where you are
