Simon pointed to the house that was now in front of them. "That is it. What do you feel staring at that house?"
"Strong aura," Mace said.
"Exactly." Simon began to move towards the house but was stopped.
"What do you think you are doing?" Mace asked. Simon turned around. "You can't go in there yet."
"Why not? He is an alpha. I am an alpha."
"He is an alpha without a pack. Alphas like that are not in control! You could get hurt."
"So what do you suggest?" Simon asked. "Don't tell me you…"
Mace nodded. "I will check it out first. Once the coast is clear, you can come in." Mace left him standing there as he approached the house alone. His claws came out as he moved to the entrance. He couldn't smell anyone around except for Simon's scent. He opened the door, stepping inside the dark room. As he climbed the stairs, the creak of the wooden stairs was louder than he had expected.
"Mace. Mace. Can you hear me?" Simon said through mindlink.
