Ben povWe watch Bethany text Mindy and I'm pacing while we wait. Sebastian moved us to his office in case she calls because Bethany will put it on speaker.An hour later her cell rings and we press record to get evidence for council."Where have you been Bethany",,we hear Marie hiss."In hiding Mindy I told you both wanted me dead",Bethany could play the part of damsel in distress well."I need you to come to my location",Mindy growls."I'm not risking it yet, Bethany sighs sadly, I don't want to run into Luca or Lorenzo ",Bethany adds sighing again."Forget them they can stay stuck up Anna's ass. You need to come to me so I can get help to move. My thigh is killing me",she moans in pain.Luca smiles a huge smile and looks my way."Poison",he mouths and I smile back."How did you get hurt?",Bethany asks looking at us."Fucking Luca shot me and it still hurts",she whines and I hold in my chuckle. "Fine send me your location I will risk my life for you but if I die it is on you Mindy"
Ben povWe leave early the next day to set up our men and surround the place Mindy is hiding in. Bethany is in a cell while Sebastian decides her fate. Anna woke up but she looks sad as both Luca and Lorenzo try to talk to her. She just lays there looking detached. She even tried to go back to work but Sebastian alpha ordered her to stay in bed only getting up to pee, shit or shower. She cried but refused Luca or Lorenzo's comfort."Think they will ever get through to her?",I ask Sebastian as he drives to Mindy's location. "They have a shit ton to grovel over brother, he sighs out, she lost a pup and was physically hurt by her mate I doubt it will be easy to make up with her",he hated her crying after his order."She looks so underweight ",I say looking at him. This fact pissed him off as he also ordered her to eat which she hated hearing but nodded."Doc says she is and he has been trying since she joined the pack to get her eating ",Fuck Luca and Lorenzo got a long way to go with h
Ben povI head home and catch Marie as she launches her little body at me crying my name. She kisses me and cries making Sun whine in my head."I was so worried Ben",she whimpers. Spencer sighed as he got up and walked near us."She refused to eat, he looks worried, said she couldn't worry about food while you were our there ",I rub her back as I draw her closer to me."I'm sorry Ben I was to worried about you ",I kissed her mark as she hugged me. I could feel her unease once I hit our territory but we needed to listen in on Mindy and Bethany talking and we found out a lot."I know love but you need to stay healthy especially for Hunter who is coming home soon",I hated using our pup as a bargaining chip but she needs to eat because ninety eight pounds is not good to me. I worried for her but so did Spencer, Jason and Sebastian. "I'm here now so your going to eat for me",she nods holding on tight. Spencer pats her back as he leaves and I walk to our kitchen holding my girl tight to me
Ben povWe watch Bethany sit with her back to them and I sigh as he fakes picking the lock again."Hurry up, Mindy orders, I want out before they come back",he scoffs."This isn't easy Mindy I have to pick it carefully because one wrong move gets me shocked",she huffs."I wonder where the whole pack is?",Mindy hisses out."Probably out shopping",Tanner mumbles as he looks at the lock."Your so stupid, Bethany says as she lays down her back still to Mindy and Tanner, she wolves like us don't get the happy ever after Mindy we get death and sadness. Your only hope is finding your mate but as shitty as we have been we don't deserve one. Maybe my death will bring peace because this life I have now fucking sucks",both Tanner and Mindy looked her way but Bethany covered up and laid there in silence. "Your coming with me Bethany ",Mindy growls at her."I'm staying here",Bethany whispers and stops talking to them. She must of felll asleep because Mindy keeps saying stuff but Bethany remains q
Ben povWe decided to hold off and let Mindy stew a few days so we could talk logistics of how to deal with her. Marie was on my lap when Tanner and Eric walked in the office and greeted us."I talked with Bethany more but she still thinks I'm going to reject her",Tanner sits by my desk."I will talk to her",Sebastian leaves as I sit holding Marie and she looks at Tanner and Eric."Hi, she says shyly, I'm Marie",my girl smiles sweetly."Hi beta female, Tanner smiles, I'm Tanner and this is Eric",both waved at her and smiled. I kissed her head as they sat."So Mindy has been screaming in her cell every night since you carried Bethany out",I moved my laptop so they could see the screen. I pressed play and Mindy was screaming Tanner's name loud. She was pacing the cell and muttering to herself the whole time."Tanner come let me out!!!",she yells."She has been yelling constantly ",I chuckle a little because Mindy looks insane."Want me to go back down and talk to her?",Tanner asks."Yes
Mindy povThat bitch died runs through my head and I want to laugh about it."With her gone I got one less bitch to deal with",I sit on the cot happy."Howl is coming back so we are pulling back and retreating ",he looks tired I think as I glare at him."Good let me out I will come with",I all but begged."I can't figure out how to open your door Mindy, Tanner almost growls, you will just have to take your chances doing it yourself",he goes to leave."Your such a coward Tanner, she taunts him,I swear you men are way to weak nowadays ",he walks out and sighs. I put on a blank face and head in enjoying the gasp Mindy gives at seeing me."Ben please let me out",she begs."No",I growl and she huffs."I don't deserve this Ben, she flops back on the bed, I just wanted you and I went to great lengths to get it",I glare at her."You tried to have my mate killed and all because your jealous of her. Marie is one hundred times better than you could ever be",she flicked me off."You mean the van
Mindy povI played the part well but deep down I didn't care about my adoptive parents at all. He could kill them for all I cared both were sick in the head anyway. My dad fucked me since I was sixteen and mom made me lick her pussy since I was fourteen. Sex hurt at first but after I enjoyed it a lot. I did tell the truth nobody would take the money or harm anyone associated with Howl so I was on my own.My dad stared at me and I wouldn't look at him but I played the loving daughter perfectly. "Those sick fucks",I paced more.I sat on my cot and looked at the cell Bethany once stayed in till she killed herself something I'm still reeling over. Why couldn't you wait Bethany? We could of escaped together. Ben povMindy paced often then sat and stared up at the ceiling I felt anger this bitch paid others to kill my mate and didn't care how it would affect me."Ben, I jump as Marie touched me gently, are you okay? Need me to make you coffee?",she rubbed her eyes as she waited for me to
Mindy pov I know for a fact both of my adoptive parents ran because I refuse to support them anymore. I sigh as I pretend to be asleep and the guards just pace. Ben and Sebastian haven't been back since their threat and I know for a fact they know everything. I bet Ava dug into my closed records."Stupid fucking idiots",I mutter as I turn my back to them and face being asleep. "Where would your family go?, Sebastian asks, I know you know and we know about the abuse Mindy",I turn and glare at him."This whole pack didn't do shit to help me so save it Sebastian. They showed me how to fuck and Ben would of been thrilled to sink inside me. He is stuck with that vanilla bitch now",I fumed."Your delusional Mindy,he says, you could of came to us anytime but you didn't. Ben loves his mate so get over yourself and stop this. Now where did they go?",He alpha orders me and I try to resist but say a few homes I purchased to go have sex filled weekends with them. I really wanted to bring Ben bu
