Reece

Just as I caught her, Riley and the others came into the clearing. Riley and one of the others had shifted. They had taken to searching the surrounding areas in pairs, using human and wolf senses to make sure nothing was missed. Riley shifted back.
"How is she?" He asked me and I lifted her up into my arms.
"She's been through a lot, and she's beaten up. I need to get her back to the house." I told him. "The men who took her left going that way. They have about a mile and a half head start, maybe two miles now. They were heading south-east probably toward the highway."
"Deke, Nick, Cole, track them as best as you can. Her scent may linger with them, follow that if you can." Riley told his men. They nodded and ran into the woods. "I will head back to the house and prepare a room for her. I am sorry, Reece, this should not have happened. This is my fault."
