Chapter 4

Two weeks later

"Sabin's taking me to the mating ritual of the alpha's son of the new moon pack. I'm to wear something that you've put your scent on." Eve placed a dress on my bed. 

I nodded and started undressing to slip it on for a while.

"I still haven't been able to overhear anything, but something is going on because the druid just left."

I paused then started putting the dress on. "Tell Brand I want to see him."

Eve gasped, "Absolutely not! I know what your thinking, and that asshole is stupid but not that stupid."

"Men are foolish when it comes to certain things." I sighed.

"You have lost your ever-loving mind! You are not going to seduce that asshole to get information."

"I'll do whatever I have to do."

"No, I'll try harder. I'll learn something. You are not doing something you'll only hate yourself for."

"I don't know the time frame on Sabin's plans, Eve. I can't just wait around.  Brand's not so bad; at least he isn't hard to look at."

"I know you, Ava, you can't do it. You'll hate yourself."

"Not as much as I'll hate myself when something happens to Declan."

"Forget it! We'll find another way!" Eve hopped on my bed and got quiet for long moments. 

"What are you thinking?"

"I don't know yet, but leave it to me."

I didn't leave it to my sister as she requested. As soon as she took the dress back and left my room, I slipped out also. No one was in the hall, so I listened intently when I was sure it was clear I went to Sabin's study and pressed my ear against the door. I didn't hear any movement, so I jiggled the handle. Of course, it was locked. Nothing would be that easy, so I pulled a bobby pin out of my hair and tried to feel the lock mechanism. After a while, I finally got it open and slipped inside, and locked the door behind me. I took a look around at all the books. "crap that's a lot of books," I whispered to myself as I walked to the desk.

There wasn't a book laying on top of it, so I started pulling out drawers. "Not a damn thing, shit." I glanced at the laptop and opened it, security footage was running on the screen, and I glanced to the corner of the room and saw the camera. 

The door came open, and Sabin walked in grinning at me, "Looking for something, Ava?.... I have something in the basement I just now you'll love. 

Sabin's minions came into the room, took me to the basement, and chained me to the wall in my underwear. Sabin brought my sister in a few minutes later and cuffed her to the chair. 

Sabin used a cane this time, and I heard bones crunch and my sister screaming a few times before I passed out. 

Eve

I've done it Ava's way for two years now. I'm done! I looked at the security camera in the room and looked directly into it.

After she finally blessedly passed out, Sabin let me go, and I walked to my sister's room, where they had dumped her on her bed. She was a mess of blood and broken bones, and she had not started healing.

I put the bones back into place the best I could while she was still out and wrapped them. I lay my hand on her bruised and swollen face where Sabin had punched her. "I'm sorry, sis, but I can't do it your way anymore. Hopefully, it will work out, and you'll forgive me." I kissed her cheek softly and left the room. 

I walked to the security room and asked the men to please look at my sister's injuries and make sure I set the bones right. They all left but one, so I started crying and carrying on. Finally, he came to me, and I begged him to ensure they didn't hurt her. He consoled me and assured me he would, and walked toward my sister's room. I went inside the security room and stuck a disc drive in the computer. What I was looking for was right there; the men had just finished saving it to file, so I sent a copy to the disc. Sabin was sick. The files were saved for Sabin's viewing pleasure. I walked to the door and stood, keeping watch until the file was d******ded. It took a while. It was a large file. When I heard their footsteps, I sat in a chair, exited the d******d window, and pulled the disc slipping it in my pocket. Then I started crying again before they walked back in. They assured me they saw to her breaks and she would heal fine.

I left and went to wash my face and get ready for the mating ceremony. After makeup and getting dressed, I grabbed a scarf, a piece of paper, and a pen and set my plan in motion.

Before Sabin came to get me I went to check on Ava again. She was still out so I brushed her hair with my hand softly and leaned down to her ear. I love you too Ava and it's time for you to let someone take care of you instead of you always taking care of us. I'll be back soon. Then I leaned down and kissed her head softly. I smiled that Sabin was soon going to learn a lesson, then I adjusted my scarf and left the room. It was time to blow the roof.
