Ten days later...
Thyrious was packing clothes for his journey to find his mate when his phone rang. Recognizing the number, he answered. "Anything?"
Alpha Gavner said, "I think so." Thyrious held his breath, hope flooding his whole body. "One of my other allies I contacted said he did have a female stumble near his pack, said she seemed terrified of something or someone."
"Did he get a name?"
"No, but he did say she had a hard time talking. He couldn't understand her as well as he would have hoped."
More hope. Thyrious shoved the rest of the stuff into the duffel. "Is she there with him? Is she safe?"
Gavner hesitated. "She had decided to leave three days ago."
Hope dissipated once again. "Did this ally at least get a destination of hers?"
"No, but he said she was headed north."
"North?"
