Chapter 56

ALPHA ZADE

I ran my hand through my hair, cursing under my breath before I bound up the stairs in a hurry. The only other door at the end of the hallway closes before I can get to it and I curse again. I pause outside and rap my knuckles on it three times, no reply comes.

I sigh and turn, resting beside it.

I move a little closer, seeming like I'm resting on it and try knocking again but I don't get any response.

"Ayda?" I call out very softly.

If I wasn't sure of how good her hearing is, I would have spoken again louder. It would have been impossible for anyone else to hear, even werewolves.

"Ayda, please open up." I plead, knocking again.

I hear footsteps this time and relief bursts through me, but it dims when I hear them stop almost as soon as they come and everything goes back to being quiet.

"I'm alone."

I don't know if that would help but I hoped, prayed. I haven't seen her in so long, I am extremely worried about her.
