Chapter 102 1 love you, Rosalie

**Rosalie‘s POV

A phone was ringing.

It had been ringing for several minutes, and it woke‘me from my sleep.

Theard it from my bedroom, even though I was fast asleep, and even though it sounded like it was coming from far away.

Thinking it was Soren‘s phone, and he would eventually wake up and answer it, I tried to ignore it, but eventually, when he didn‘t, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, deciding I‘d go investigate.

Pushing my feet into my slippers, I put my robe on and headed into the other room.

Soren wasn‘t on the couch. The kitchen clock showed it was already past midnight.

That was weird.

“Soren?” I called, not loud enough for the guards outside to hear and know that there was a problem, but loud enough that he should‘ve been able to hear me if he was in the house.

There was no answer.

“Soren?” I called, a bit louder.

I went and looked in the bathroom, but he wasn‘t there either.

He didn‘t seem to be anywhere.

I decided to follow the sound of the ringing phone, and as I followed it to the study, I noticed that the floor looked odd here.

Strange marks marred the clean floor. They looked like… drag marks.

“What happened?” I whispered.

I got an awful feeling that something bad had occurred, and it was unsettling at the very least.

Soren‘s phone was on the top shelf of the closet. I remembered he had been hanging up some clothes for me earlier. He must have accidentally set it up there. I picked it up and looked at the caller ID. 4

It was Thomas calling, and he‘d phoned eight times.

Taking a deep breath, I thought about whether or not I should answer.

If I didn‘t, they‘d come in looking for Soren and realize he wasn‘t here.

My eyes went to the trap door. It was partially open. I knew where Soren had to be. I just didn‘t know why.

Drag marks..

“Hello?” I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking.

“Miss Ro?” Thomas asked, sounding surprised. “Is Soren available?”

“Uh… he‘s uh… not right now. Because he‘s in the bathroom. But I can tell him to call you as soon as he‘s not

in the bathroom.”

Thomas paused a moment before he said, “Yeah, okay. Thanks.”

“Sure.” I hung up the phone and considered what I needed to do.

I really only had one choice.

I had to go after Soren.

Either Soren had somehow figured out that I was using that tunnel to visit Ethan, and Ethan was in trouble or…

I didn‘t want to think about the alternative.

I had told Ethan the night before that I would have guests over tonight, and it wouldn‘t be safe for him to visit. So what happened?

In a hurry, I threw up the door and headed down the ladder, hoping I could get to the end of the tunnel in time to stop whatever was happening.

I ran as fast as I could down the tunnel, but it was difficult with me being pregnant and unable to shift. By the time reached the end, I was spent. My lungs were burning, and my legs were tired.

Yet, the sounds that greeted me when I emerged spurred me on to the clearing.

Yips and growls filled the otherwise peaceful forest.

Wolves.

Fighting wolves

I continued to push myself on until I got to the clearing.copy right hot novel pub
