Caden POV

Marissa is missing. Presumed dead.

That's everyone's conclusion. Even Ryder and Morgan believes it too.

I don't.

I've left them behind at the mansion. For what must be the hundredth time since she vanished, I'm back in the woods searching for something. Anything they might have missed.

A footprint or broken branch. Maybe a scent. Any sign she came this way.

Back in River Howl, Morgan is keeping an eye on her parents for me. They've been indoors grieving.

Mom insists it's too dangerous for me to go that far into the pack right now. I don't intend to.

Marissa isn't at her old house. There's no sign...
