GoodNovelChapter 86: Rescued Killian's POV My wolf grew restless as we searched around the forest without any lead or trail to follow. We are just blindly searching around the forest without knowing where to look for.
I perked my ears up and heightened my senses as I ran across the forest, hoping to get a whiff of Astrid's scent or hear her cries for help.
The recent downpour made it harder for us to track Astrid. Not only did it make our path muddy and slippery, which made it hard for us to run and search around, but it also dampened all the other scents in the forest.
The damp, earthy aroma masked any other discernible scents, frustrating us even more. There was nothing we could smell aside from the strong, earthy aroma that permeated the forest.
This proved my nose as an unreliable guide in the wake of the rain. I had no choice but to focus my senses on my hearing. However, even that also proved unreliable to follow. The sounds of crickets and birds chirping in the air made it hard forto find the specific sound that could helpin my search.
I pushed onward despite having no hope. My pace quickened as I scanned the wet leaves and branches, searching desperately for any sign of where Astrid might be.
I had to find her before it was too late.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn order to maximize our search, we split ourselves into groups to cover more ground quickly and search through the surrounding area of our Pack. Drystan and I went on opposite paths to look for Astrid, leavingalone in my search.
I'm sure that the others were facing the sdifficulty as me, but we are not going to stop our search until we find Astrid.
I stopped to chase my breath and regain my energy. I've been running around for hours, and I've covered almost all of our pack's surrounding forest.
As the Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, I know our whole area like the back of my hand. I've searched every possible place where Astrid could be. Where else could Astrid be? My mind raised, cycling through every possible scenaas I fixed my gaze intently on the forest floor. My wolf paced anxiously insideas he thought of how his mate needed him.
My body tensed when I finally thought of the abandoned place not far from our Pack where Astrid could be hiding.
Before I was even born, there used to be a Pack that lived there. However, their Pack disbanded, leaving behind ruins of what used to be a Packhouse.
Panic welled withinas I raced to that area with my heightened senses strained to the limit. The weight of uncertainty fueled my determination - I have to reach Astrid before something awful happens. Failure is not an option. If Astrid is still not there, I no longer know where to look for her.
"Help me!" A strangled cry reached my ears, makingpump my legs even faster.
My wolf took control over my body, giving all it got to save Astrid. I dug my paws into the soft forest ground to stop myself from my momentum I was running at full speed, making it hard forto stop on my own. As soon as I reached the area, I shifted into my human form.
My eyes searched around as I Sd for Astrid. I swear I but couldn't see her while for help just a "K-Killian, help me!" Astrid shouted once again in fear.
Following the sound of her voice, I looked up in horror when I saw Astrid high above the ground with her arms tied above her.
"Astrid!" I shouted in fear as adrenaline rushed inside me.
"Killian, please save me!" Astrid cried out loud, tears streaming down her face.
"Aaahhh!" Astrid yelled at the top of her lungs when the flimsy rope that held her up suddenly broke.
My heart almost leaped out of my chest, thinking that she was going to fall down, but thankfully, the last strands of the rope still held on.
"Don't move!" I yelled to her as she broke out into sobs after the rope startled her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI looked around to see how I was going to get to help her out of the rope, but she was so high up that I was afraid it would be too late even if traced to reach her there.
The rope has also thinned out. It looks like it's not going to hold her weight much longer.
"Astrid!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs when the rope finally broken Astrid screamed in fear as she fell to the ground.
Everything happened so fast. I ran towards her, hoping to catch ef е offall, it was too late. Just when I was about to reach her, Astrid had already fallen to the ground.
"Astrid!" I yelled once again as cold fear gripped me.
I dropped to her side and carried her in my arms.
Astrid remained lifeless as blood trailed out of her mouth.
"Astrid!" I shouted once again, trying to wake her up.
"No, no, n-no," I stammered out when I saw blood pooling out of her legs.
The baby, my baby, our baby!
"Someone, please help!" I shouted out vel as I cried uncontrollably while holding Astrid in my arms. X
