Chapter 17: Theo

I hadn’t heard from Briggs in four days, so when I saw his name on my phone screen, I was eager to answer.

“Briggs, did you find anything?”

“I found her car,” he replied, his tone serious and uneasy. “It’s at a junk yard in Sablemane territory. It looks like you were right about the accident.”

I hadn’t felt any pain from her since that first night. But I still felt the burning of our broken bond, so I knew she had to be alive somewhere. At least, I hoped that’s what it meant. I didn‘ t know what I’d feel if she was…

“So she has to be somewhere close by,” I said.

“She would have to be. I doubt she walked away from this on her own. Especially if your assessment of her injuries were correct.” He got quiet for a moment. “There’s a lot of blood here, Theo. If she can’t heal, she won’t be in great shape for a while. I’m going to check the local hospital and see what I can find out. But they’ll sense that she’s a rogue any day now. I don’t know what they’ll do with that.”

“Did you find anything else?” I could tell he was holding back with me, and I wanted to know what he was thinking.

“I went by her house. You’re going to need to tell Kylee and Marie soon. They’ll want to go home.”

“Why?”
