The Mighty She-wolf of King novel Chapter 57

"Neither did I," Trevor smiled weakly, almost afraid to.

Nodding his head in response, Eric turned to Dolph, "You shouldn't be hard on yourself," Placing his hand on his friend's shoulder, "Your mate is out there, and she will be your everything. You'll even wonder what you were even worried about when you see her. She is out there". Saying those words, Eric meant them but they did hurt.

Dolph didn't say anymore but placed his hand above Eric's shoulder. His silence was more then Eric needed. He could tell what his friend was trying to say without words and that brought a smile on Eric's face. Dolph returned the smile with a small one until it disappeared by the sound of Alpha Seth's voice. "Unmated males, please line up."

"You can do this," Trevor whispered in encouragement as Dolph made his way to the lineup.

The sunset was about to fall turning the sky into a mix of colors of blue, purple, orange, and red. While the men, one by one, shifted into there wolf form including Alpha Seth. Focusing his eyes on his friend instead of the young Alpha, Dolph was much larger than the other around him. Those next to him looked at him and moved a couple of feet away from him. Their action made Eric growl at their ignorance.

Dolph's wolf may have been larger than others, but it was the scars on his body that made him just that more intimidatingly. His scars were still visible even when in his wolf form where his dark fur could no longer grow back. Dolph never really cared about his appearance among the men but he had always worried that his future mate would reject him, just like all the other females have in the past.

When the sun disappeared above the trees, it was Alpha Seth that howled and led the unmated males into the Hunt.

After Trevor left to return to the Pack Doctor's to help with the wounded from the rouge attack, Eric was left standing where he was when the Hunt started, holding the house key Ross had given him sometime during the day.

Eric looked at the small key that was pinched between his pointer finger and thumb. He thought about going to the house before the Hunt started but he didn't think it would have been a good idea. To smell her sent again he feared he would go crazy again. He thought that if he had walked through the door all the memories of them would come back to him like a wave. He didn't even know if he was ready for that. He may never be ready.
