Angels POV
Ok so shoe shopping took another hour before we found the perfect pair to match my new dress. They were a white strappy heel that went just over my ankle. They kind of reminded me of a Greek goddess sandal, just with a heel. By the time we had what we all needed I could have sworn my stomach was going to eat itself, it rumbled so loudly that even people passing me were eyeing me strangely.
"If I have to hear your stomach growl like that one more time, I swear to the moon goddess I'm going to drive off and leave you here" Sid laughed.
"Jake would literally kill you if you went back without me" I told him while giving him a shove.
"Yeh good point. We should probably get you fed so that it doesn't happen aye"
Sid was always trying to make a joke out of everything. I was beginning to believe he didn't have a serious bone in his body. Having only known him a couple of weeks, I didn't know how the guys were able to put up with him growing up. But all that aside, he seemed a good man and Jake trusted him which meant I did too. Once we all agreed on grabbing a burger before heading back to the pack we headed to over to Five Guys. Their burgers were unbelievably juicy and held so much flavour, even their portion of chips were gigantic. As we all began our meals, I noticed how Aunt Marie's eyes fogged over, she was mind linking.
"We need to go NOW" she shouted.
"What's happened, has there been another attack" Rose asked.
Taking a quick glance at Sid his eyes were foggy for a moment before returning to their normal green colour.
"There hasn't been an attack on the pack, but Jake said they found a pool of blood in one of the corridors… William said it belonged to Nick. He's missing" he told us.
Aunt Marie looked a mixture of pissed and broken, her mate, a man that was well equipped in protecting himself was injured and missing. Two questions nipped at me… who would take him and why?
Nicks POV
Opening my eyes, I was blinded by a bright white light. It took a few minutes for my eyes to adjust before I was able to see where I was. Well, I didn't see this coming. I had been in this room many times sixteen years ago, only I wasn't the one sitting in the chair. I was back in the Royal Pack interrogation room, and it hadn't changed one bit. My head was throbbing from the cut I had on the crown of my head, blood running down my face as the silver cuffs kept me from healing.
"Nick I'm sorry, I couldn't let him kill her" Wayne's Voice came room the corner of the room.
Stepping into the light I could see how truly beaten he looked. He didn't want to do this but had no choice.
"Your mate?" I asked him.
"Yeh, she is pregnant with twins. He has her locked up in the next room. I felt this horrible pain three weeks ago and when I tried to mind link her, I was met with nothing. That's when Jason and his mate turned up, told me they had her, even showed me a video of a man kicking her in the stomache."
"Are the pups ok?"
"One of them went into distress, I had to beg Jason to bring a doctor in to her so we didn't lose it. When I agreed to help him, he agreed to the doctor. I get to spend five minutes a day with her until I got him into Moonlight Pack territory. But then you overheard a conversation you shouldn't have heard and now here you are."
"He knows I would die before helping him"
"That Nick is what he is counting on. His main worry is Marie, he knows she's stronger then the warriors that pack has even without her having trained all this time"
"Hate to burst your bubble mate but Marie has been offered position of head guard, she's been training everyday with the pack for the last two weeks"
Before Wayne could open his mouth to reply the door opened revealing a tired looking Jason.
"Well don't you look like shit. Karmas a bitch aint it. But got to give it to William, he didn't let her suffer like you left Vanessa to. Had it been me I would have dragged her death out" I told him.
With pure speed Jason was in front of me, his fist connecting with my jaw. Shaking his punch off, I looked at him with a smirk.
"Oh… Sorry did I happen to touch a nerve. Bit emotional aren't we Jason. Where the f*ck was your emotion the day you destroyed our packs peace, the day you took Vanessa away from her mate and daughter or the day you tried to rape a f**king child" I stared at him waiting for another blow to the face, only this time I was met with a silver whip to my back.
"You think It didn't hurt me having to kill Vanessa? You knew I loved her from the moment my eyes first saw her. Had she met me first I could have had her, but no, she chose him over me"
"He was her mate you f**king dimwit. Why on earth would someone as pure as her, the daughter of the moon goddess herself reject her fated mate to accept a chosen one? She was fated to him for a reason, and if that wasn't enough, she loved him!" I shouted.
"LOVE, LOVE gets you killed" he shouted back to me. "It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. Crystal was may have been my mate and I was beginning to love her; she was even going to give me an heir, but HE took her away just like he did Vanessa" he spat.
"You don't get it do you Jason. William didn't take Vanessa away. She chose to be with him her fated mate. Don't you ever listen. You took her away from him. You even went after his daughter"
Not liking the truth I told him earned me another whip. I could feel my vision becoming blurry due to the blood loss from my back now as well as my head. Just as I was about to pass out, I heard Jason tell Wayne to bring a doctor in to see to my wounds.
Jakes POV
"Surely there should be a trail, we found a pool of blood. The fact he lost as much blood as he did would mean he wasn't able to heal, and being as he's technically a gamma, he should have had faster healing than the standard wolf. That tells me he must have encountered either silver or wolfsbane. Now I may not be the sharpest tool in the box but even I know blood droplets leave a f**king trail" I roared at the couple of pack trackers that stood trembling before me in my office.
"But Alpha we checked; no blood trail was found. One of the omegas however said while she was cleaning the lounge and bathrooms, smelt blood and went to check. When questioned she informed us that two male members of the pack were arguing quietly about something and acted shifty. One of the males went on to tell her that their friend had injured himself and had been taken to the hospital. Thinking nothing of it she cleaned it up."
"Did she at least give you a description of these men?" William asked them.
"No sir she didn't"
"Then may I suggest you go and f**king get one…. TODAY" I shouted.
The moment the incapable trackers left my office I was fuming. This didn't look good on my behalf. Not only had Angel been taken while on my territory but now Nick. Nick may not be an official member of the Moonlight Pack but being as my father granted him and Marie sanctuary while he was Alpha meant they still deserved to be treated as such. Benson bought in the cctv disk from the security center, I wanted to check it myself. Being as we didn't yet know who was involved, I wasn't going to take any chances with the wrong person finding out and letting the offenders know we were on too them.
Just as the disk was about to load Angel, Marie and my mother walked in. Angel walked straight over to me sitting on my lap after giving me a quick kiss. Marie looked like she was only just holding it together before she suddenly burst into tears.
"Omg, Aunt Marie what's wrong?" Angel leapt from my lap and ran straight to Maires side who was now sitting on the floor.
Marie didn't answer instead held her head and began crying harder. Marie was the hardest woman I had ever met and here she is a blubbering mess unable to speak. All of a sudden Angel placed her hands either side of her aunt's head before closing her eyes.
"Babe, what are you…." I was about to ask.
"Shhh…" she whispered. "It's Uncle Nick, I could see him. He was in a bright room, cuffed to a chair. Jason was there, they were arguing and then he whipped him with a silver whip. He's hurt bad, there's blood everywhere. There was another man standing to the edge of the room. He had dirty blonde hair and was shorter than you guys, I don't know, 5ft 9 maybe 5ft 10"
"Wayne" William growled storming out of my office slamming the door shut behind him.
