One week later.
[Patrick's P.O.V.]
A week had passed but it felt like a year. We had already spent a lot of time and energy looking for Alpha, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air. We even reported the missing persons case to the city police. I provided them with Alpha's human identity information and photos, but I had asked for them to keep these strictly confidential since any leaks would tie back to our company and start to create a lot of problems.
In the case of our pack, we had informed and maintained with everyone that Alpha had simply gone for an extended business trip abroad. I had also given the orders that if the people involved in the search leaked anything, they would be severely punished. But to be honest, I didn't know how long we could keep all of these up.
