Kiara hadn't just asked to join this mission, she had begged to join it. There was every possibility that she could rescue her son and Kiara was not going to let the opportunity pass her by. It had been months since she had last seen Kohaku, his tiny face still a sharp image in her mind. The image of his lopsided smile and bright blue eyes made her heart ache. The pup had only been two months old when he disappeared, and Kiara could only imagine the horrors that Amy had put him through since then.
The closer they got to Amy, the more Kiara's body shook with anticipation and anger. It was all she could do to keep herself from running straight to the city and forgoing the others. In her mind, it took them far to long to reach Halifax, and once there Kiara had nearly driven herself crazy while she searched for Kohaku.
To her utter disappointment, it was Sky would found the trail first. Kiara moved over to the trail, her black nose twitched as she tried to pick out Kohaku's scent. But it wasn't there, at least, not the one she remembered. Kohaku had once carried the scent of the earthen den where he was born, as well as the smell of fresh rain and leaves. The scent that Sky had found smelled more like wet dog, wood, and spices. This was not the scent that Kiara remembered. However, there was no doubt that Amy's scent was there. The realization that her son had changed so much was frustrating and disappointing. Just what had Amy done to him?
Kiara nodded reluctantly at Sky's instructions. They were smart, but the tactic was too slow for the impatient mother. She wanted nothing more than to charge forward and rip Amy's throat out. However, that was a stupid and ill-conceived idea. Impatience turned to shock as Jiva spoke of his inability to shift into the secui form. Kiara had assumed that all of the native born luperci could control their shifts, so to hear that Jiva could not was surprising. "Well, at least one of us will be in secui." The arctic female shuffled her feet as she waited for Sky's command.
