will go insane, and so will the beast within me. I kneel down to the ground and place my hands on the ground at my feet. I take the energy from the ground into myself. Joslyn and Skylar taught me how to do it. It helps to keep my mind clear and level. The energy does not consume me; it just gives me the extra boost of courage that I need. My brothers are still arguing.
    “Hey, assholes, I am standing right here you know. I am in control of my life, not you two. I will make my own decisions. If I need your opinion, then I will ask you for it. I love you guys, but come on. If you were in my situation, would you just leave and risk the chance of the beast going insane?” I ask.
    “I guess if it came down to it, I would go after whatever it was that was calling to my soul. I am tired of being alone. One night stands just don’t cut it anymore. They leave me feeling guilty and disgusted,” Alexandre says.
    “I would follow my heart. We only get one chance at finding our mate. I would not want to deny myself a chance at true happiness. We all serve a purpose in this world. Our main purpose in life is to find our mate. The one who can keep the beast under control. As the days go on, it gets harder and harder to keep it under control. I can sense a calm in your beast since you spotted the wolf, Deuce. Go after her. Don’t waste any time. Take this chance. Do not let it go to waste,” Pierre adds.
    “You are right; I am going after the wolf. Do not wait up for me. I do not know how long I will be. If this is indeed my mate, I have to at least introduce myself to her.” My beast has been quiet since we spotted her. He knows who she is and he is not telling me anything at all. He huffs that I need to figure this out on my own without him helping. But, he warns that if I go in the wrong direction, he will cause me great hell.
    “Go after her. Don’t worry about us or the boat. We will take it back home. We will make sure that Sebastien has dumped the killer’s car first and then head home. We will not worry about you. Nor will we try to stop you in any way. This is a time where we will not interfere. This will make you stronger and be able to get some relief from the beast,” Alexandre states.
    “Go on, man. We have everything else under control. Go see if she is indeed your mate. You will never know until you come face to face with her. So...go!” Pierre says.
    “Good luck, Deuce,” they both say and walk toward the airboat. They fire it up and head off in the direction of home. I know they have it all under control, but somehow, I feel like I am letting my family down, even when I know that is not the case this time. This is a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. I would regret it for the rest of my miserable existence if I do not go after her.
    Time for me to put my money where my feet are. Time to get moving. If I wasn’t so damned scared, this would be a piece of cake. I need to put my fears aside and get on with it. I run off in the direction the wolf went with the woman. I think she may be leading her to the main road. Usually, my gut instincts are not wrong. In a few miles, I will know if I am right. I continue to follow her scent. Her scent is driving me insane, but in a good way. It is giving me all kinds of dirty thoughts that I should not be having. Her scent seems to go straight to my cock, springing it to life, causing an ache that I fear only she will be able to satisfy.

Chapter Six
    Adele
     
    My eyes must be deceiving me. I cannot be seeing what I am seeing. I honestly thought they were a figment of the locals’ imaginations. The legend is real; they do exist. I am in my wolf form, so I know what I am seeing is real as fuck. Damn. There are four of them. They have to be the most magical creatures that I have ever seen. I am just blown away by this find. I could hear the screams of the woman from miles away, so I decided I needed to come see what was going on. I am here to help her in some way, but
