Page 71 of The Alpha's Seer
“What kind of personal connection?” I demand, my breath burning in my lungs. “She’s just a human!”
“She’s a Seer,” Alpha Drox reminds me.
“I know that, but she can’t have a connection tothem.”
It’s a ridiculous suggestion.
“As I said, Blair is human—these monsters are not.”
“We don’t know what they are,” Alpha Drox says softly, and I shake my head.
“They’re not human, Drox.”
“No, I agree with you there, especially if they’re as fast as you say they are.”
Too fast.
“They must be wolves—it has to be them that turned those boys from town.”
The door opens, and Blair strolls out, rubbing her eyes. She looks exhausted, yet I watched her sleep all night. Still, she finds a smile for me.
“Hey,” she whispers, lacing her arms around my neck and resting her nose against my skin. It’s like she’s breathing me in, and I love it. For a brief second, if that, I can close my eyes and imagine I’m sitting by the lake with my mate and enjoying a moment of intimacy.
“Good morning, Blair.” Alpha Drox smiles at her, and she nods.
I can’t see how my beautiful mate could possibly have any connection with the rogue pack, but howdothey know she’s a Seer?
“I can’t get hold of Leon,” Blair says with a frown. “I’m worried, Calix.”
I look up at her, and her eyes tell me all I need to know—she’s more than worried. She thinks something is wrong, and knowing Leon and his drinking, anything is possible.
“I’ll call him.” I pull out my phone and see he’s texted me, and Blair sees it. We exchange a glance, and I open the message.
LEON: I’m coming to look for my sister.
“Oh, no…” Blair looks around like she might see him, and I lift from my seat.
“Are you okay overseeing things here until I’m back?” I ask Alpha Drox, who nods.
“Of course.”
“Let’s go,” I say to Blair, who doesn’t hesitate, following me to my truck and jogging to keep up with me.
“Does he know where you live?” Blair asks, anxiety creeping into her voice.
“No.” But hedoesknow we live in the mountains. Anything could have happened to him. My heart rate spikes with concern, and I’ve got the truck started before Blair is even inside. “Don’t worry, we’ll find him.”
Blair chews her nails and stares out the window.
“Hey, are you okay?” I question her as I guide the truck through the forest. It feels so long ago since we first fucked against the trees. So much has happened.
“I just know he drinks…” Blair’s words cut off, and I know she’s emotional.
I hate that Leon does this to her—causes her worry. She’s his little sister—if anything, he should be the one protecting her.
“Why does he drink so much?” I snap, my grip tightening on the steering wheel.
Maybe there’s something behind what Alpha Drox and Luna Marie said. That there’s a connection between Blair and the Rogues.
