P.O.V.***
Jason, Lorenzo, and I went off into the storm. Even for werewolves, this weather was pretty f*****g cold, and we were out here like dumbasses trying to find Wyatt. I had to admit, this wasn’t like him, and I was kicking myself for not having gone to the office with him, but Melody had an ultrasound today, and Wyatt commanded me to stay home for it. Jace, can you sense anything? I asked in a mind link.
No, the wind is too strong. I can’t smell s**t.
I wonder if Lorenzo’s heightened sense of smell can pick up anything.
Too bad we can’t ask him.
Jason was right. Since Lorenzo wasn’t a part of our pack and just a guest, we couldn’t link him or communicate with him. There were absolutely no humans on the road, I mean, why would there be, the blizzard was out of control, and most humans are smart enough to stay home. I don’t think anyone realized how bad the storm was going to get today since it was barely snowing this morning when Wyatt left the territory.
We were well past the territory gates and were making our way down the access roads of the highway when Lorenzo perked up and paused. He lifted his head high and started to sniff. I guess his heightened sense of smell was actually picking up on something. After a few minutes, he turned to look at us, gestured his head, and took off running like bats out of hell. Cobalt and Ajax had to run at their top speeds to keep up with him, but even then, we could barely make out his silhouette through all of the snow being blasted from the storm. Luckily, after running for about ten minutes, Lorenzo came to a sudden halt, and I realized we were on top of a bridge.
From the faded tire treads that turned into skid marks, and the paint and scratches smeared along the guard rails, there was an accident of some sort, but there were no cars on the bridge. Lorenzo walked slowly by the rails, and it looked like an impact had occurred. Lorenzo peaked over and howled suddenly. Cobalt and Ajax also peeked over where Lorenzo looked, and we could see Wyatt’s car in the gorge.
We took off to the other end of the bridge where the would be an access point down into the gorge. Being in wolf form allowed us to hurdle over rocks, trees, and even the steep jump we had to take. We all landed on our paws with no injuries, and we raced to the car. Come on, Wyatt, be in there, be alive. I kept saying to myself when we reached the car. It was completely totaled, and knowing if the driver were human, it would be a miracle if they had survived, but even for a wolf, this accident could be fatal.
We all quickly changed back to human form even knowing the winter storm would be freezing to us, but we needed to make sure Wyatt was okay. The car landed on its side with the passenger side down. I peeked inside from the driver side that was pointed up, “HERE’S NOT HERE!” I shouted. “HE’S NOT IN THE CAR!” Jason and Lorenzo came over, and there were no signs of Wyatt, but there were signs of blood. It was Wyatt’s blood, which meant he was injured but he wasn’t in the car.
“He must have crawled out, but by the look of the blood, he’s badly injured!” Jason shouted as the wind howled.
“Let’s shift back and see if we can find him!” Lorenzo said and we both nodded. We shifted back and felt better knowing our fur was going to keep us warm, but even then, it was freezing. Lorenzo started to sniff around, for Wyatt’s scent. After a few minutes, Lorenzo howled again and took off running. We followed him, and he was speed walking through the gorge when we came upon an embankment. Lorenzo lifted his head and growled.
We came to where he was, and what he was growling at. There were faded tire marks in the snow and a small pool of blood that still stained the snow underneath. Lorenzo jumped into action and took off up the embankment while Jason and I followed as fast as we could.
I have to give it to this guy, Jason, he’s determined to find Wyatt as much as we are.
I think it’s because of Rylee. Lorenzo cares about her because she’s like him.
He calls Rylee his family because apparently all Primordials have a DNA link, even though it’s a weak one.
I also think it has to do with that fact if something happens to Wyatt, it could shake the bond he has with Rylee, which may alert the vampire of his existence.
Good point. Let’s hope we can find him.
We ran for miles through the forest and ended at a back road that led into the city. We couldn’t go any further than this, at least not in wolf form. The bigger problem we were now faced with was the fact that there were more than a few tire treads on this road, and based on Lorenzo’s frustration, he lost the scent.
This wasn’t good, this was not good at all. Wyatt was in an accident, was injured, and it looks like someone grabbed him. How the f**k were we going to tell Rylee and his parents? How the f**k was I going to tell Melody? Lorenzo huffed and sniffed a little while longer, and let out another howl, but this time, it was one of anger and frustration. He turned to look at us with an apologetic look. We knew then we were s**t out of luck. With heavy shoulders, we backtracked and headed back home. ***Wyatt’s P.O.V.***
“Damn, it’s really coming down out there,” I heard one of my employees say in the lobby.
“Yeah, this storm came out of nowhere,” another agreed.
“Hopefully, it lets up before the day ends,” someone else said. I looked out of the windows in the lobby. I looked at my watch, and it was just past noon, and a blizzard was making its way through the city. I decided that I would let everyone have an early out to get home before it potentially got any worse.
I got back to my office, and called human resources,
“Yes, Mr. Valencia?”
“Janette, please send out an early release email to all employees. Everyone will be paid for a full day’s work, and are permitted to VPN from home until further notice,”
“Right away, Sir,”
“That includes you and the others in HR,”
“Yes, Sir. Please be safe,”
“You as well, good night,”
“Good night,” a few minutes later I got a copy of the email sent out by human resources. I decided to finish up my day, since driving in a blizzard isn’t anything new for me, plus, I have chains on my tires. If anything were to happen, I could always just shift and go home in wolf form. Before I knew it, it was almost five o’clock, and I realized that I was an hour late heading home. I packed up my stuff and locked the office. I made sure that only security was left in the building and all other employees had in fact gone home. “Good night, Mr. Valencia, please be safe,”
“You too, Frankie, stay warm,” he saluted his hand and opened the door for me to the parking garage. The snow had come in though the openings of the garage and the wind was strong. I was a little worried driving in this storm, and I knew it was going to take me to double the time to get home. I tried to call Rylee, but I had no reception. “Just perfect, cell towers are probably down,” I said out loud. I got in my car and started the ignition. I waited for about twenty minutes for the engine to warm up, and then made my way home.
I took my time and figured I would just mind link Rylee when I got closer to the mountains because I would be in range. Unfortunately, the office building was over an hour away, and our mind link couldn’t reach that far. I wanted to hurry and get home so Rylee wouldn’t worry, and knowing her, she’s probably tried to contact me more than once by now.
The drive was horrible, and I could barely see anything. Thankfully, there weren’t a lot of other cars on the road, and my tire chains were helping me keep traction on the highway. I was careful and cautious of black ice. As I made my way, I had to take a few detours because of road closures. This was going to make getting home harder, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
I looked down at the clock on my dashboard, it was almost nine, and I was still about thirty minutes from home. I figured this was a good time to mind link Rylee to let her know that I’m okay, and I would be home soon. I came upon the bridge and decided to wait until I crossed it to mind link since it would require my eyes to cloud over and I would lose my sight for a split second.
I was halfway across the bridge when I hit something and my tired blew out. I scream curses as I tried to gain traction of my car, but I hit the guard rail and my car spun out of control. I hit the railing again, and I could feel my car falling over the bridge. Blade took over, and he tried to get me out of the car before it completely went over, but we were too late. The car went over the bridge and fell into the gorge. The last thing I remember is hitting my head and falling into darkness. ***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
It was almost eleven, and Kendrick and the others still weren’t back yet. I was in full-on panic mode at this point because no one could get through to Wyatt. “Sweetheart, you need to calm down,” Grace said to me. “I’m sure the boys will find him and bring him home,”
“Aunt Grace, Wyatt’s never been this late, and he’s never not called. What if something bad really did happen?”
“Now, now, you mustn’t think that way, think positive, okay,” she said to me, but I could hear her thoughts, and she was just as worried as I was if not more, but I wasn’t going to call her out on her bullshit right now. Just then, the door flung open, and the guys came in. But what made my heart stop was that they didn’t have Wyatt.
“Ken!”
“Jason!”
“Mr. Rossi, where is my son!?” Ronan asked.
