“When I returned,” Leni cried, “Ezra was gone. And Mira was nowhere to be seen.”
My chest burned. “It was a setup.”
Leni nodded, shaking. “I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”
I placed a hand over my heart, trying to breathe through the panic. “No… no… I have to find him. I have to.”
I turned around, grabbed my phone, and called Jace with shaking hands.
“Jace…” I whispered when he answered. “Send your elite wolf warriors. All of them. Ezra is missing.”
“We’re coming,” he said. “We won’t stop until we find him.”
I ended the call and stepped outside, staring at the storm clouds gathering over the Winterfell Pack.
And this time, I wasn’t waiting for Adrian.
I would search every mountain, every forest, every river until I found my child. Even if I had to tear this entire territory apart with my bare hands.
