TWENTY-SIX
That scent can't be mistaken.
Ethan bent down behind a thick brush, his heart was beating very fast in his chest as he looked at the distant burning campfires of Moonhaven.
Ava is here.
He had spent some weeks looking for her, following information he got from Rogue. Now, she was so close.
And yet, his feet would not even move.
"What if she did not even want to see him? What if she hated him?" He thought to himself.
He had let her go. The worst thing is that he had let her believe he was her mate when the truth had been what neither of them could change.
Ethan clenched his jaw. He had to see her. He had to warn her, but not yet.
He needed more time.

Back at the Red Fang Pack, Ethan walked through the corridors of the Alpha Manor, his mind was beating very fast.
He had over heard Victoria in the war room, speaking to a messenger that he could not really recognize in a low voice.
