Was someone out there for her? Was a family out there searching for her?
She pushed forward so she could start her shift. Maybe if she turned herself over to her wolf, she would know how to find where she came from.

Bri just could not get a good night’s rest. For the past week, she had been having dreams that led her to believe she had a family out there. Someone was missing her. Faces of people she didn’t know appeared in her dreams. She woke every morning with tears streaming down her face at the heavy feeling in her heart.
There was one face that stood out to her. Whenever she dreamed of him, she woke fully aroused and sexually frustrated.
Last night’s dream had been one that was sexually charged. It was so detailed she couldn’t tell if it had been just a dream or a memory replaying itself as she slept. Was her subconscious messing with her or were these memories coming forth?
Tonight was the pack’s monthly run under the full moon. She would speak to Dreven tonight about needing to go off and search for her real family. She arrived at the edge of the pack’s land and could make out all of the people who made up her pack. They had taken her underneath their wings and opened their arms to her.
Deep down, she knew she didn’t belong here. She had made her decision that she wanted to go off and see if she could find her family. If she did not find them, then she would come back to Wesson and agree to be Dreven’s mate.
She spotted Dreven off to the side speaking with Martin and Kim.
Perfect.
She could talk to the three of them at the same time. She hurried over to them.
Kim turned to her with a wide grin. She immediately opened her arms to Bri who went into them. She returned her foster mother’s hug before pulling back.
“Hello,” she murmured shyly. She looked around and tucked her hair behind her ear.
“Evening, Bri.” Martin chuckled. His eyes twinkled as he glanced between Dreven and Bri.
She knew he thought of her as a daughter and wanted her to mate with the alpha.
“What’s the matter, Bri?” Dreven asked, his eyes narrowed on her.
Of course the alpha would pick up on the tension in her body. She blew out a deep breath and looked at them all. Concern appeared on Martin’s and Kim’s faces while they waited for her to speak.
“I think I want to try to find my family,” she blurted out. She didn’t give them time to react but continued. “My wolf is unsettled. I know there is someone out there missing me. I can feel it here.” She thumped her fist over her heart.
She glanced at them, pleading with them with her eyes. She didn’t want to insult Martin and Kim. They had done so much for her, but her wolf would not rest until they went off and searched.
“Oh, Bri.” Kim tugged her to her again in a tight hug.
“What do you have in mind?” Dreven asked quietly.
She could see in his eyes he was curious as to her plan.
“Dreven, I know you have been waiting on an answer about mating. I am honored. I truly am, but I feel that this is something I need to do. I need to see if there is someone who is waiting on me at home. What if my parents have been out looking for me? What if I have a family already? A mate, pups? This is something that I have to do.”
Martin and Kim nodded. Martin pulled Kim to his side while they listened to her. She knew they would support her on anything she chose to do.
But she couldn’t just leave the pack and go off on a wild goose chase without getting permission from the alpha. She turned her eyes back to Dreven as he studied her.
“And if there are no mate or pups waiting on you?” he asked quietly.
“If there are no mate or cubs, then I will return to Wesson and I will mate with you.”
