Finding the Scent
Wesley pov
We awoke before dawn and packed to go. We didn't know what we would be running into so we better be prepared.
We took off after the scent every day it was fading more and more. We had to cover more ground today if we wanted to catch whoever was doing this.
All of a sudden the group came to a stop.
"What's going on?"
"Alpha, the scent is coming from a cave….it's getting stronger now so I think we are getting closer to the scents source!"
"Okay, everyone be on the look out. We still don't know what the source is."
We slowly entered the cave and made our way in. It was very dark inside but we couldn't shift and take our things with us.
We walked in and a stench hit us. The stench of death lingered here. Something that died long ago.
We reached the end of the cave with no one around. That can't be right we must have missed something.
I started heading back to the entrance.
"Alpha"
"Yes!"
"I am smelling something outside the cave, the death smell brought us inside to throw us off."
"Take the lead. "
He lead us to a little shack, a little away from the cave.
We walked inside the shack. We saw viles on the wall and parts belonging to human and werewolves but saw nothing more.
"This can't be it, we are missing something. Look again!"
We are searching through it all then I hear it. A creak and that only means one thing.
"The floor, there has to be a trap door. Everyone look…"
"Alpha, I found it!"
We all ran to Victor. We pried up the floorboards as quietly as we could.
Through mind link I stated.
"We are going down there. Not sure what we will find so everyone keep an eye out and don't trust anyone. "
We went down the steps slowly and quietly as we could. What we saw next surprised and startled us all.
Sydney POV
We walked in silence for awhile.
"Grayson?"
"Yes, doll."
"I don't know much since I'm human but…"
"What's your question?"
"Is it possible to have two mates?"
"Two mates?"
"Yes"
"Well, it is definitely unheard of?"
"So it is possible?"
"Well, I would have to consult my books but it's rarely heard of. The moon goodness pairs us up for a reason."
Just then we approached a bridge.
"That must be where we are supposed to cross!"
"Stay close by me to be safe, doll."
I blushed as he reached for my hand.
I could feel the electricity running from our hands all the way through my body.
Grayson pov
As we held hands I could hear her heartbeat increasing with every step we took.
She looked into my eyes as my heart melted from her gaze.
We crossed the bridge and focused my attention on our surroundings.
We walked in silence for a bit then I heard it. Someone or something was out there.
My eyes turned red as I pushed Sydney behind me.
"Who's there….show yourself?"
Sydney heartbeat was increasing.
Slowly a dark figure woman came out.
"Who are you?" I growled at her.
She started blinking her eyes at me. As she slowly approached me, licking her lips at me.
All of a sudden I hear Sydney growl, anger coming off of her as she steps forward.
Sydney pov
How dare she. He is mine, you don't look at him like that.
I walked in front of Grayson.
"Do not look at him again unless you wish to die painfully. "
She bowed her head down. Without looking up she replied.
"I'm sorry princess, I didn't not know you had arrived. I will not look at your companion again!"
This time Grayson growled, it was so loud I could feel it in my bones.
"He is NOT my companion, he is my MATE. You dare to remember the difference from now on."
"Yes, milady."
Grayson grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it.
"Now, do you know where my mother is?"
"Yes, of course."
"Take me to her, please."
"Yes, of course. Please follow me."
She lead the way, not looking up once.

We walked down and saw machines hooked up to werewolves on tables. Some were baby pups and were not that old. This was sad and shocking too. Who could do this and why!
We ran over and started unhooking them from the machines.
"Be careful everyone there's wolvesbane in the IV. Don't let it touch your skin when you pull it out. They were suppressing the werewolf from coming out."
Everyone replies, "yes, Alpha!"
We got them all unhooked then we heard it. A loud crash coming from down here. We knew it was whoever took them.
I mindlinked my group. "Break up, some take the injured up and the rest stay here and prepare to fight. "
As the group was moving up the way we came in. That's when we were attacked.
"Hunters!" I growled.
We fought the group of 10 hunters that came in. We needed to give the others time to get out of here and back to town.
I have never seen so many hunters at once they normally stick to a couple of them.
We fought hard but they had silver and wolvesbane which makes it harder to keep going for longer.
My group was getting knocked down and getting chained up. I didn't know if we were going to make it out of this.
I looked and saw my group was left to 4 of them that weren't chained down. We were out numbered and running thin. We were gonna fight until our last breath.
I attacked the one that seemed like the leader of the group. He hit me over and over with silver hoping to get me down.
I lunged at him and clawed at his eyes as he screamed. I then knocked him to the ground and pulled his eye out of the socket. 2 hunters jumped on my back with wolvesbane making me shift to human and tying me down. At least the hunter will be missing his eye now.
That was the last I could do before we were completely outnumbered.
We ended up switching places with the ones we rescued. We were now trapped on the tables with wolvesbane being injected into us.
I just prayed our help would arrive in time.
