André's POV"Did you ever meet a man named Kyle Grey in this inn? I don't have a physical description, but the staff told me he frequents here."The old lady shook her head."No. I'm sorry. I have lived in the inn for years. My son pays for the room every month. I am certain that I would have heard of a man with that name if he was here frequently."I nodded and thanked the old lady, and she disappeared into her room. This was the sixtieth door on this floor, and there was still no positive reply. Each shaking head reminded me that I should have asked Olivia if she had a picture of her father along with her. It would have helped to jog people's memories.There was only one last room on this floor, and I was more than ready to meet another dead end.Soon, I heard the sound of footsteps running around. What was going on up there?However, the footsteps stopped eventually, and there was silence as if nothing happened in the first place.I moved to the last room and knocked.Silence. Wasn
Olivia's POV My dreams were foggy, and all I could see was buzzing like a broken television.I tried to move my arms, but I couldn't. My legs, as well, felt stiff. What was wrong with me? Was I paralysed? Was I drugged? I tried to scream, but no sound came out of my mouth. The fear continued to engulf me. Somehow, my body had stopped working.I tried to stick out my tongue. However, an invisible barrier blocked it.What? What was this?My tongue continued to poke around, and I felt the dry and coarse material. It didn't take long for me to figure out that it was a cloth. Somebody had gagged!The shock of it all caused my eyes to fling open. I stared around, but the darkness persisted; I had never woken up from my dreams.No, I couldn't panic. I had to calm down.I closed my eyes and focused some of my lupine energy, and my sight was slightly better in the dark. My legs were tied with a thick rope while my hands were bound behind my back. I tried to sit up but bumped my head on some
André’s POV I tried my best to control my anger. My kitten’s disappearance was tearing me apart. I had my men storm the inn and search every room, lobby, and basement.If my kitten was still in this building, I wanted to make sure that she was found, and I was going to find the bastards that took her.I stood outside waiting, flexing my fingers in anger as I heard the new ruckus that came from the inn.Pierre was standing by my side, making calls. I had asked him to call every associate in Elvis Pine to see if they had seen Olivia, but so far, he had been unsuccessful.Call after call was the same response and I was slowly losing my patience.Then, the ruckus soon died down, and my men came out of the building.“We searched everywhere, Sir, and we couldn’t find anything. We couldn’t find that lady that matched the description that you gave, either.” I slammed my fist on the hood of my car and made a dent in it.“Damn it!” The men backed away from me in fear, and I couldn’t blame th
Olivia’s POV “Olivia, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” I jerked awake and fell to the cold stone floor. What was happening? Where was I? My hands and legs were still bound with rope, and I still had the sack over my head. I could tell that we weren’t in the car anymore. It was more spacious, and I could move my legs around, and the air felt damp and clammy. My body slowly began to regain consciousness, and soon, I groaned in pain. Why did the back of my head hurt so much? I tried to slip my hands out of the rope to rub the throbbing area, but the knots were too tight.Slowly, I began to panic. I had no idea where I was or what the people that captured me wanted to do with me.“Hello? Is anyone here?’My voice, though my sack and gag, bounced off the walls, and there was no reply. I was alone in this cold and damp place.I lay on the floor, downcast, cold and broken. How did I get myself into this mess? What did these people want from me? I lay still with my eyes closed and silent te
Andre’s POVWe zoomed to Jonas’ house and stormed inside.The servants were in shock, but they made sure to stay out of our way. We began looking around for him, but after a while, he was nowhere to be found.My men grabbed a maid, and she screamed in fright.“Where is Jonas?” “He… he’s in his study. It’s on the first floor to the right.” My guards left her, and we stormed to his study. When we got to the door, I asked my men to pull back.I grabbed the door handle–that bastard locked the door!I asked them to stand back and forced the door open. I broke the lock, and metal pieces clinked as they fell to the ground.“What the hell is this? My door!”Jonas stood up in alarm and stared at me and his broken door in shock.“André, what is your prob…” “Where is Olivia?” I glared ferociously at him but he looked at me confused and took a step backwards.“Where is Olivia?” He asked back in surprise. “What do you mean ‘where is Olivia?’ Where is she? He looked confused and shaken and s
Olivia’s POVI lay on the ground, and silent tears were rolling down my face. I sneezed a little; it seemed like I had caught a cold.All I could think about was that man who had tried to force that herbal drink down my throat. They wanted to take away my child. They wanted to kill my baby.The more I thought about it, the more hot tears streamed down my face.I was filled with worry. When they had forced the liquid into my mouth, I wasn’t sure if I had swallowed some. It kept me on edge. What if my baby was already being harmed inside of me?I wriggled in frustration. I wanted to get out of these ropes. I wanted to escape and find André. I never knew being away from him could be so scary. It finally dawned on me the way he felt when I ran away. I only hoped that he was okay and that he could find me soon.In the silence, I heard heavy feet walking down the dark corridor. I braced myself; I could tell that the men were back.My heart went into my chest. What were they going to do to m
André’s POVMy eyes were locked on the screen as the footage played in front of me, and I could barely breathe.My heart jumped in my throat, and I went pale in horror. What was this?The video played and I was worried to see Olivia tied up. I squeezed the phone harder, threatening to crush it under my grip. What were they doing to her?I watched as they gripped her hair tightly and tossed her around. They touched her and stroked her cheeks. One of them placed his lips close to her ear and said something that made her flinch.“Those bastards!” My hands shook in horror and anger. Who could have done this? Who could have had the audacity to send me this video? I heard footsteps behind me and felt a hand on my shoulder.“Alpha is everything… Oh my God!”Pierre shrieked. His eyes were transfixed on my phone as he watched in shock the cruel treatment of the pack’s Luna. His face was bright red, and he began to heave angrily.“We will get whoever did this. We will make them pay.”I ignore
Jonas POVI slipped back into my office and closed the door behind me.Finally, that bastard had left. I couldn’t let him compromise my plans.I waited for his footsteps to fade before I grabbed my phone at my desk and began to dial some numbers.Those fools had better not have messed this up.In a few minutes, my phone screen had four faces looking at me. Three of which were my men.“Good afternoon, Boss…” “Screw your greetings!” I snapped angrily. “What’s the situation there? Is she still captive?” “Yes, Sir. She is still tightly tied, and we have one of our men watching her.” My face contorted in anger.“Excuse me? You said how many?”My eyes struck fear into the heart of the man I was talking to but radiated through the call. I could see the unease on everyone’s faces as they looked away from the screen and left the man to his fate.“J…just one, Sir. She is just a little girl. She can’t possibly do…” “You fool!” I slammed my fist on the table, and though it was a virtual meet
