Klaus drove slowly towards the outskirts of the mall where Emily had mentioned meeting. He scanned the area but couldn't spot Emily's familiar figure. Feeling a growing unease in his chest, Klaus quickly dialed Emily's cell phone, but after several consecutive calls, there was no answer. A sense of foreboding settled over him like a dense fog.
Without hesitation, he pushed open the car door and eagerly stepped into the bustling crowd, starting a meticulous search for Emily's scent. Using his keen sense of smell, he followed the trail, step by step, deeper into the mall. The scent of Emily grew stronger in his memory, but simultaneously, the scent of another male werewolf seeped into his nostrils. Klaus froze, focused on trying to decipher the strange scent's origin.
