It was natural for Cane to be more sensitive to her scent, since she was his mate and he had marked her. After bearing his mark, the mate bond between them started to grow as well.
Thus, when everyone thought Iris was roaming around the forest and started to look outside of the cave, because the forest was so vast and they had to cover as much ground as they could to find her, the alpha stood motionless in his spot as he stared at the cave.
Cane walked toward the cave and started to scrutinize everything around here.
He approached the spot she was sleeping last night at and found the cloak that she used to sleep in discarded there. Her scent was the strongest here, and based on this alone, he concluded that instead of going out, she went deeper into the cave.
Cane narrowed his eyes, as he followed her soft and delicate scent deeper into the cave.
