Rose held out a flat clear baggy. “A note.”

Cal took the baggy and glared down at the unexpected piece of evidence.

HELP! I’ve been taken. He is horrific. Deadly.

If what the note said was true, then . . . kidnapper as well as murder. But . . . “Could this be a trick from the suspect?”

“Not sure.” Rose sighed. “I’m afraid to think that, yet . . .”

“How long has he been with the guy? Why just now leave this plea?”

Savage reached for the bag. Cal shook his head. The note needed sniffing, but Savage’s nose would not be quick to pick up on any lingering scent. A made Lycan had as much heightened senses, but a born Lycan had an advantage of being taught to use their skills from the age of two.

Cal held the open bag up, sniffing. Wet fur slammed through his body, as currents rippled through his body, settling in his groin. Never in Cal’s life had a scent caused such a reaction. All the tension that had dug its way through his nervous system faded into nothingness as warmth soared over him.

What did it mean? Cal knew, but . . . There was no way the owner of the note could be . . . Cal’s biggest fear when he smelt the Lycan scent among blood was that there was a murderous rogue Lycan for him to deal with. He’d never reacted to the scent before, but it had not been as potent. What did this mean?

“Captain?” Savage’s shaky tone pulled Cal back to the situation at hand. “What is it?”

Cal looked around, noting they were once again alone. He took in a deep breath and held the baggy out to Savage. “Tell me what you smell and how it makes you feel.”

Savage took in a huge whiff and shrugged. “It matches the stench, but . . . There is something clinging to it. Not . . . There is no malice. It’s more like . . . Fear.” Savage rubbed his head. “I’m sure you picked that up. Right?”

He had picked up way more than that. “How does your body react? Does your muscle tighten? Any other part of your body react?” There was no way was Cal going to ask if his cock got hard as a brick.

Savage inhaled again, shaking his head. No. I wonder if he’s part of the kills or truly there against his will. We knew the stench was at each scene, but how much did he partake? Did he at all?”

Well, Savage’s reaction told Cal all he needed to know. Not. Reinforced what he already knew.

“You know more, don’t you Alpha?”

What did Cal know? How was he supposed to react? Handle things? So many ideas rushed through his mind, but he knew he could not react rash. He had to take this to the Betas. Get their opinions before he rushed into a shitstorm. And there would be one if he found out that his Heart’s Desire was being forced to watch the kills. Or worse, partake in them.

“Savage, stay here. Ensure that anything with this scent is bagged and in your car. Not Rose’s. I need the things with this Lycan’s scent brought to my house.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“And it’s Captain.” He was going to have to have a long talk with Savage about how to address him when he’s not around the pack. The man should know better. He’d been a Lycan long enough o have that concept down.
