Mystery: Try to Solve
I stirred awake as something rubbed up against me. But I only groaned and went back to sleep. Whatever rubbed up against me now started to nudge my muzzle. I opened my amber eyes and saw that it was only one of the pups. I yawned and lifted my head. “Miyaku, what is it?”The small wolf pup wagged her brown tail in desperation. “Mommy, I can’t find Aki, Ryu, and Aiden! They’re all gone!”
Now I was awake. I jumped up and ran out of the cave, sniffing the air for my missing pups. Their scent wasn’t even in the air. I whimpered as I looked around, scanning the trees, hoping my pups were just playing hide-and-seek.
“What’s wrong, Naomi?” My mate asked, as he walked out of the cave.
“Our pups are missing. Only Miyaku is still here!” I said, throwing my head back and howling in sorrow.
“Naomi, calm down. Are you sure they’re not just hiding?”
“I’m positive!” I barked, wondering how he could be so calm.
He didn’t reply. All he did was walk around a bit, looking through the trees. I followed behind him, wondering what he was up to. He stopped a couple of times to sniff the air or the ground, but never made a sound. But after a while, he just walked back to the cave and stopped.
“Who could have taken them?” He murmured sadly.
Just then, our omega, Lanzer, walked out of the trees. He walked up to us and looked down. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t catch the pups. Whatever took them was too fast.”
“Did you catch a glimpse of who it was?” I asked eagerly, my hope rising again.
He just shook his head. “All I could tell was that it was wolf. I couldn’t even tell you if it was more than one.”
I stopped and thought for a minute. “Well, let’s see. Who could it have been? There’s Spade, the alpha of our enemy pack…but why would he steal our pups?”
Lanzer and my mate shook their heads. I sighed and ran off into the forest. The only wolf scent I could smell was Lanzer’s, my mate’s, and mine.
But after several hours of running around, I turned and ran back to the cave. I now knew who it was that took my pups…
To be continued…
