Chapter 24

Marlon looks outside, “We didn’t cross her scent coming here,” Kiley whispers, “Even before the rain, well drizzle, and we’d be able to scent her right daddy?” Marlon nodded.

“If you can’t hear her, they can’t smell her, where is she?” Grant asked, I tried again, this time focusing on the Hellmanns.

“Chelsea I doubt they’d do anything stupid like taking Oakley,” Gabriel scoffed, but I concentrated on them instead, who does she think she is?

I just need to get close to her, I need her to trust me so I can find out who killed my mate, Jax thought. She ruined everything, setting rules, turned Walter against his family, Lynn thought, and so it went, not a single of them were thinking of Oakley.

“Whose ‘they’?” Marlon asked near me, Lux snorted, “The Hellmanns, she took two wolves away today, one from Greg and the other from Lynn.” Someone growled at the mention of her name, “No, it’s not them, they aren’t even thinking about Oakley,” I answered sighing.

“Chelsea you guys need to relax, chances are she just got lost…” I turned to face him, my brow lifted in total disbelief, “Really? There are paths? Roads that lead from the beach to my house to her house… how’d she get lost?”

I asked and immediately, drifting Grant thought, “Drifting?”

He sighs heavily, “Oakley could have gone exploring… something could have caught her attention. Are there things on this island that one wouldn’t see in the Virginia area? Species of an animal or tree that’s not found in a book, only common here because of…?” I scrunched my brow turning to Marlon, “Oakley is interested in those sorts of things, if she saw a plant that she’s never seen, she could have followed it to examine-”

Then it hit me, “Wait, Kiley, you said she showed you an ipad?” the little girl nodded, “Remy get your laptop,” I said before I teleported back to my room, changing into boots, jeans and a sweater, then went back to my office, grabbing my laptop and turning it on, going back to the kitchen, startling Grant and Julia, “sorry,” I murmured when their eyes widened, hands reached for each other and they took a very small step back.

Handing my laptop to Remy, “can you track her ipad, tell us where on the island she currently is?” I said bending over to tie my shoes, “I’m calling Leland and Roman, they know the island as well as I do,” Marlon said as we waited, “even if they can’t locate her with that gadget, we have to go soon, before her scent if completely washed off the forest floor with overnight rain,” he advised but I was still searching.

Lux?I called him and instead of turning to me as though I had done it out loud, he continued conversing with Marlon, Yeah? He replied.

Is there anyone on the island that has a gift of blocking? A shield so that I wouldn’t be able to get into their thoughts?

Not that we know of, it could be something they’re developing though, but as of the last inventory census we took, no one had that ability, or have ever hidden their thoughts from Marlon, Leland and I, I sighed in relief.
