"Catherine!" Xander yelled. "You don't have to run and hide—come on out."
It was a fruitless search in the woods that night. His vain attempt to restrain Catherine. She had to stray away from his path. He wasn't trustworthy and certainly not the savior she thought him to be.
Xander's mind wanders about. He couldn't find her. And it was getting really dark. Eric and the others would come searching for their Alpha and might stumble into Catherine.
Where the hell are you? It's a matter of time before the betas come looking for me.
The bulk of his worries was if Faye hadn't trailed him behind. It would be bad for both he and Catherine. His title would be revoked and Catherine—Catherine won't survive in this supernatural world on her own. It was already overwhelming as it was.
