[Kieran's POV]
"Wait, what do you mean you can't find her..." I snarled at my beta, who remained silent.
How did things turn out this way?
After the meeting with the elders, I heard the words being spread among my pack of the potential danger of war...
The letter wasn't a secret to many in the end.
But just then, when I had hoped to make my way back to my room, Celeste came rushing towards me, informing me of the fact that Elara wasn't in her room, and there were signs that she had left Nightshade.
I couldn't understand much of my expression back then, but I had to find her. Wherever she might be currently...
I should have understood how she must have felt, hearing those news. She was just recovering from those nightmares.
My fist tightened, knowing I was just making things worse for her and couldn't even help her. I had failed whenever I tried to do just that...
"Keep searching," I ordered my beta, deciding to also step out as I mounted on my horse.
