on the other side.
The information was not perfect because of the large number of people that had been in the room, but she could get much. Also, Sara could not disassociate one person from the other, as she had never met any of them before. She didn’t know which signature belonged to Colin’s mate.
“ There are two children, boy and a girl, they’re related, a sister and brother, I think. They were both gravely injured recently. There’s a woman who is here a lot; her signature permeates the rooms in high concentration. There is a high amount of drugs, different kinds. I don’t know...alcohol as well. There’s a man who is...he is evil. I can feel his intent and a provocation toward inflicting pain, especially to smaller people. He is a wolf, I think…no, he is one, but not an alpha. He’s really quite mad, insane. He’s been here enough that I can smell him and if I need to, I can find him again. I hadn’t realized that it would smell so much like canine,” she told Colin with a sad smile. “I can also smell the wolf, his scent, semen, semen that’s mixed with blood. Oh, Colin, those poor babies. It’s their blood, isn’t it, those babies? There’s another woman. She’s much stronger—magic. I can almost taste it it’s so strong. She’s...I can feel her love for the children. Her blood is here, too, fresh and strong. I don’t feel her...this one doesn’t spend a lot of time inside of this dwelling.”
“ I dinna know there were two of them. But I’m glad. The other one, the one with the magic, Sara, can you tell me what she is?”
“ I’m sorry, Colin. All I can tell you is that she is magic. Her signature isn’t strong enough to indicate that she’s here much. I would say that she doesn’t stay here. I had a stronger scent of her just down the hall and below the stairs when we came in. There are men, law enforcement and others. Medical personal too. I can smell their drugs, but it isn’t the street kind. It’s nothing like the stronger stuff.”
Sara stopped talking, but not crying. She could feel the pain and suffering of the children, and Colin was sorry for that. He would never hurt Sara, not for anything in the world. Colin looked at Aaron, who held his mate.
“ That’s all I can get, Colin. There are just too many people, and I don’t know your mate’s pull. I can’t tell much about the children, if they survived, but none of the other adults in the room were hurt all that badly. The man was, but as he is were; he’ll live, more the pity. The woman, the stronger one, she’s hurt too, but like the were, she’ll survive. Something else you should know, she is powerful and she is magic. While she is untrained, she is very commanding and strong. Do you know who she is?”
“ No. The drugged-up one, though, that’s my mate. The children are hers, although I didn’t know there were two of them, just the little girl. I’d only seen the little female. She’s a pretty little thing. I think she has a cold, poor child. Thank you, Sara. I know it was hard for you. I have to go. I need to go.”
And before either of the other two could say anything to him, Colin flashed away from them.
He didn't know where he was going, not yet at any rate. Nor what he was going to do once he got there. He wanted to know what had happened to her children. He knew now that his mate hadn’t died, but she had been there when they were hurt, so no matter what happened, he would make sure she paid.
How could a mother do this? Was she so fucking out of it she did nothing to help them, just let it happen? He had a sudden urge to go to the hospital. He knew that was where the children would be if they were as hurt as Sara thought they were.
Colin found the same scents in the emergency room as were at the house, strong and heavy in the air. He could only assume it was the children’s scent now. He couldn’t smell hydrangeas in here, so he assumed that she had not been brought here. Colin followed
