#####TRIGGER WARNING:TORTURE SCENE####My head was pounding and I looked around to see steam coming from the front of the car. The windshield was smashed and I was having trouble seeing as I was regaining consciousness. I looked around at where we were but there were no people around at all. I thought that was a little strange, but then I managed to open the door and saw that it was an industrial area. It was really dark with the exception of a few street lights scattered around and I got out of the car. I stumbled forward to the driver’s seat and I saw that Miles was unconscious. I tried to open his door, but it was stuck where it was. I needed a little more strength, but before I had a chance to do that someone grabbed me from behind. “What the fuck.” I yelled as I started fighting against the person that had his arms around me. My vision was blurred by the blood coming down my face from my forehead, but I saw several other figures coming out of the dark wearing dark clothing a
When I got home it was after dawn and my father was in the living room looking very disheveled and very worried and anxious about something. Sandra was also in the living room, sitting on the couch looking bored and like she was about to go to sleep. “Ava.” Dad yelled running over to me and hugging me. “Wow. I didn’t think you’d miss me this much.” I said. “Of course I would. Look at you. Are you okay?” He asked, looking me up and down because I was covered in blood. “I’ll be fine. The injuries are healed. I had to take the long way home because I didn’t know if there were any other hunters out there.” I said. “That was smart. I wish you had called.” “I couldn’t risk it. In case they heard me. I tried to mind link you, but I couldn’t get through.” I said. “I know. I’m so sorry. There were a string of kidnappings last night.” He said. “How’s Miles?” I asked. “He’s going to be fine. It was just a bad accident, but he’ll be out of the hospital today.” He said. I guess
The following morning when I got out of bed I went for my usual jog around the pack with three guards following behind me. Which I knew I had to get used to because dad wasn’t going to call them off. When I got back to the house I had a shower and I got dressed. I sat on the bed and I texted Wesley not to come and pick me up today. I have to stay home and help dad figure out who took the kidnapped victims.I went downstairs for breakfast, like I always did. But I didn’t eat much this morning. Sandra wasn’t there, because apparently she was asleep and Leo was scoffing down his food like he had some place important to be. When I finally left the house I made sure that the guards weren’t following me because they all believed that I was being picked up by Wesley. But I wasn’t that lucky. I needed to find another way to get around them. So I went up to my room, pretending like I had forgotten something and while they were waiting outside my bedroom door, I opened the window and I cli
It wasn’t long before someone knocked on the door so I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. “Ava. We need to talk.” Noah said. “No. Like I said, you need to go to hell.” I said. “You found out that Jax is my friend.” “Yeah. You planted him in my school to keep an eye on me.” I said. “It’s not what you think.” He said. “I don’t know what the hell to think anymore. Or who to trust.” I said. So Noah pushed the door open and he walked into my room and closed the door behind me. He turned to look at me with such intensity in his eyes. “You can trust me. I put Jax there so that he could protect you when I wasn’t there.” Noah said. “And again, why should I believe you?” I asked. “Because of this.” He said, grabbing my hand. I quickly pulled my hand back after getting the electric shock that coursed up my arm. “What the fuck?” I asked. “After we started writing to each other, I knew that there was something different about you. The first few letters were hand wr
As soon as I had heard enough from Wesley and his parents, I left their house and I started walking around the city aimlessly. I didn’t know where I was going or what I was doing. Not until I realized that I was standing outside the hotel that Noah was staying in. I stood there staring at the building. Still not moving. Like I was in shock. “Ava.” Someone said, walking up beside me. I turned my head and Jax was there. “Hello counselor.” I said. “Noah already messaged me and told me that you know the truth. Are you alright?” He asked. “I don’t know.” I said. “Come inside.” He said. But I shook my head. “I’m not leaving you out here alone. Come on.” He said. So he took me inside the hotel and up to their penthouse suite. He opened the door and I saw another man sitting on the couch drinking a beer. But as soon as he saw me walk in, he jumped up really suddenly and started acting really weird. “Ava. This is our weirdo friend Mason. And now you see why I was asked to be yo
Noah and I sat at the table talking for ages, but I knew the reality of the situation. I knew that I needed to get home. Before my dad realized that I was gone. My phone started ringing and I saw that it was Wesley, but I ignored it. I then sent him a message and told him that dad had me doing some pack work and I couldn’t talk to him now. I didn’t know how I was going to handle the whole Wesley situation, but I knew that I needed to keep it close to the vest. I couldn’t let anyone, except Noah, know what I know. There was too much at stake. Noah drove me home but he stopped down the road so the camera’s and guards didn’t pick up his car or anything like that. “Will you be alright sneaking back in?” He asked. “Yeah. I’ll be fine. I’ve done it heaps of times.” I said. “Alright. Listen, it would be best if Wesley doesn’t suspect anything right now.” He said. “I know. Same with dad and Sandra. I won’t tell them anything.” I said. “Alright. I know that this is hard. And I
I snuck back up to my room once I was finished in the office and I made sure that there was no trace of me in the office. And I definitely printed out those correspondences from dad to Elias. I went back up to my room and I paced around for a little while before I sat at my desk and I turned on my own computer. I started researching Elias. But the only thing I could find was all the praise that he was getting in the human world for all the good deeds that he had done for people. All the charities that he was involved with and the schools that he donated money to in poverty stricken neighborhoods. He looked like a real saint on paper, but that was about it. There was nothing in the press to make him look bad. He was never caught up in a scandal. So I typed in my father’s name and he wasn’t in as many articles but they were just as clean as Elias. These men were really careful to keep their true selves hidden. They definitely didn’t want anyone to see what they were really lik
We had no idea where the hell we were going. We just needed to get the hell out of the city. We didn’t know how many allies my father had so Noah was behind the wheel of the car and he took all the side streets until we finally hit the highway and we kept on going. I was sitting in the front with Noah while the other two were chatting in the backseat. “So, if Elias is your father then does that mean you are next in line to his pack?” I asked. “Not anymore. He disowned me when I said that I wasn’t going to go ahead with his plan to kidnap you.” Noah said. “But you didn’t know that I was your mate back then. Why would you not want to do it?” I asked. “Because I saw what he did to your mother. I wasn’t going to let him do it to another girl.” He said. “So, the sadistic Alpha raised a son with morals. That’s unusual.” I said. “Yeah. We need to find somewhere to hold up where they won’t think to look.” Noah said. “I don’t know my dad that well. So, I don’t know where he will think
