"Jeez..." Breathing a heavy sigh, Zander descended the stairs of the school building and rushed across the garden.
He stopped at the closed gate and maniacally began looking here and there. His eyes were wide open, hands fisted, and face flushed with shock and disappointment as he frantically roamed his pupils around the empty, big garden.
"I swear I smelled her here. Where would she go so quickly?" He spoke to himself such that the watchman sitting in his cabinet peeked out of the big rectangular window in a daze.
He was not petrified to see Zander, but a bit taken aback. The rapid batting of his lashes conveyed there was another story to his expressions, and before Zander saw him, he went back to his work without interfering in the bully's life.
'I smelled her too, but unfortunately, her scent has faded away. Like she ran away...'
Zack sighed, guessing about the sudden death of his mate's scent. He was minding his business while Zander was roaming in the premises of the busy school during ongoing lectures when a strong, bewitching scent of a luscious female invaded his nostrils.
Even though Zander battled to keep himself unaffected by the smell, he really could not stop himself. He lost against his curiosity and eventually advanced toward the path where the incredible essence of his mate was coming from.
It carried him until the main gate, where the fragrance was the strongest. Zander was sure she was inside the school campus or there outside around the school building; and when he initiated his run further to follow the scent, it just faded away like it was never there.
