「Meanwhile, on Nathan's side, after some time…」
"Hurry up! Deploy more men, search the lake again!" Nathan's voice cracked like a whip, sharp and merciless. "I don't care what it takes, I want Ashley's body. Dead or alive."
His warriors scattered under the force of his Alpha aura; they didn't even dare make a sound as they lowered their heads in submission.
Patrol units assigned to that stretch of the border had already been dragged in, forced to stand before him while he tore into them for hours. His anger hadn't cooled, not even close. Instead, it burned in his eyes, raw and unrestrained, making it hard for anyone to meet his gaze without flinching.
If he didn't need them now, if he didn't need the manpower to comb through the area faster, some of them were certain he would've killed them where they stood.
For their failure.
For not noticing anything out of place the night before.
