(Author's POV)
Alaric was fast and furious with his driving skills as Alex was busy tracking down Brave's scent. After a good ten minutes' of drive from the pack house, he smelt Brave's scent. Alaric stopped his car instantly and got out of it at once but there was no sign of Brave or any other being, whatsoever.
It was in the middle of nowhere, vast forest was covering the dead asphalt filled road from both sides. But Brave's scent was coming from somewhere near, Alex was sure of it. The air was filled with his odor despite there was no one in sight. And it was so intense and overwhelming, that his hands shivered. He remembered the incident from the mountain top when Brave tried to commit suicide. The lifeless face of Brave appeared in front of him, making Alaric restless.
