~Gabby’s POV~The tension in the office was rising and we were all on edge. Noah was going over our parent's words in his head and he couldn't believe what they had planned.Nick was standing there looking stoic and Aiden was staring at him with his arms crossed over his chest. ”No one knew what they were going to do but it’s done,” I said. I hoped that maybe I could ease the tension and soften everything up. They were getting agitated and I could see the battle of dominance happening between Nick and Aiden. ”Guys, stop,” I placed my hand on Aidens arm and pushed him back softly.”You really had no idea?” Aiden asked my brothers. ”How could we?””Yeah, do we look like a happy-go-lucky family who shares everything? Cause if that’s the impression you’ve gotten then you’re fucking blind,” Cassy stood up when her phone rang and she went outside. The door closed and I looked around at everyone. ”We need a plan.” Nick said and looked at me. ”For what?””When they find out that their
~Aiden’s POV~We had scoured the woods and the town. Everyone had gathered by the school and for every warrior that came without good news, I was starting to believe the worst.”Anything?” ”No, Alpha…sorry,””No a single fucking sign? How is this possible?” I ran a hand through my hair.”There’s no scent, no nothing,” They said and looked around confusedly.”Look again,””But, Alpha-””LOOK AGAIN!” I shifted and started running back into the woods. That’s when I tried the one thing I had been fearing to do.’Cassy, can you hear me?’ ’Cassy!’The only thing that would cause the mind link to not work would be if they're not within the pack borders. She wasn’t here. She wasn't in the pack.’Round it up and meet at the house. Cassy’s gone’'Yes Alpha’I shifted back and got dressed outside. The winds were coming in strong and the rain was pouring.Where the fuck was she? She wouldn't be out there now in this weather. How could she just disappear like that?Walking back into the house I
~Aiden’s POV~The rain had stopped, it was six o’clock in the morning and the clouds were still dark in the sky. I had gathered the warriors and the plan was to scour every inch of our surrounding grounds outside the border.Whoever kidnapped Cassy couldn't have been far and they wouldn't have gotten far during the storm.”Aiden!” Gabby came running down the stairs.”You’re not coming with us.” I said.She rolled her eyes and clenched her jaw. ”Here, Mr.Maler gave this to me yesterday. It belonged to Cassy,” She handed me a scarf. It would help.”Thank you,” I said and grabbed it from her. Our fingers graced each other and I saw the little jump she did upon contact. One day I would turn all her bad memories to dust and replace them with the best ones she could possibly imagine.”Be safe,” she said.I leaned down, cupped her cheek with my hand, and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. I held myself back, I wanted to taste her, to run my hands all over her body and drag my tongue over ev
~Gabby’s POV~We saw the fog from the windows. The branches of the trees were swinging in the winds and water trails went down the glass.My mother was watching me, as was my father. After she had said those words I completely lost my ability to speak. Cassy had said this when we were with the witch. She said that they would come and take me back. I swore that I wouldn't let that happen but I needed to regain my voice and my strength. I still felt broken and so scared.”Perhaps that is not her wish anymore,” Marie said and stared daggers at my mother.I knew that the niceties were all gone and people's true colors were about to come out. It was about to get ugly.”Gabriella?” Marie said and I shook my head.”No,” I squealed, hoping it would've sounded stronger.My mother tilted her head to the side and smiled.
~Aiden’s POV~Now you need to calm down’How? They have coerced everyone into giving them our mate. They’re gonna take her away’No, they’re not’You know as well as me how this will end. It is either they take her or Cassy doesn't come back’My eyes shifted color and my wolf stepped front and center.Gabby’s parents were looking like they had won. And I was terrified that they might’ve.”Where is my daughter!” Two of our warriors were holding Thomas back as he tried to reach for the only two people in this room who knew where his daughter was.His eyes started glowing and his wolf wanted out. The warriors that Gabby's parents had brought came rus
”Dimitri, ready the cars, we’re leaving.” Gabby’s mom said and raised her head. I stepped around and my warriors stood in front of the doors, blocking the exit. ”Move.” Dimitri growled and his Alpha and Luna stood behind him. ”Not gonna happen, I'm gonna need you to step back.” I said and stepped in between. I placed a hand on Dimitris chest and pushed back. His eyes started glowing and he extended his canines. He slapped my hand away, extended his claws and tried slashing at me. I dodged it and pushed with both hands at his chest causing him to fly back. The other warriors readied themselves and started growling. My father and gabby’s brothers stepped around the table and came closer to us. Dmititri got back up and raised his hand throwing a punch. I grabbed his hand, crushing every bone in it before landing my fist on his face. ”Alpha Aiden, this is enough! If you want your pack member back alive you and your men will step aside or I will make a call and her life will be
Flashback… ”Hey, can I come in?” Nick was standing by the door to my office. I had just visited Cole in the dungeon, my mind was a fucking mess and I could not handle any more at this moment. I placed the picture of Cole on the table and nodded my head. ”What’s up?” I asked. Nick sat down on the chair in front of the desk. He raised his head and looked around at the surface of the table. His eyes landed on the picture I had just placed down. He picked it up and scanned it. ”I spoke to him.” He said and looked up at me. I clenched my jaw and leaned forward. ”Why?” ”I heard he was one of the people who hurt Gabby.” ”He was.” ”We got into some interesting…history,” I knew what he was getting at but I didn't appreciate him fishing for answers. ”Why don't you just cut to the chase, I have a lot on my mind right now.” He nodded his head and placed the frame down. ”I have a plan, one that you cannot tell anyone about. Including my brothers and sister.” I was getting intrigued a
Cole was sent out. He picked five warriors and they headed into the cars. He stopped before he got in, he met my gaze and I bowed my head in respect. They took off and now we just had to wait. I looked around the house for Gabby but didn't see her anywhere. My parents were in the dining room, helping clean up. Gabby’s brothers were removing the bodies and instructing their pack’s warriors on where to stay. I went up the stairs and stopped outside her room. I raised my hand to knock but instead turned the doorknob and stuck my head in. Gabby was standing by the window with a blanket wrapped around her body. She was looking out into the darkness. ”You can come in,” she said in a broken voice. I slowly closed the door behind me and walked up to her. The room was dark, she hadn't turned any lamps on and she looked content but I knew there was a horror movie in her mind playing over and over again. And she couldn't shut it off. I stood next to her and looked out over the grounds.
