I put one foot down on the road and waited for a second, making sure that no one had heard me. Looking left and right, I decided that I would go left as the right was towards the main road and there I definitely did not want to be. I tiptoe through the ally making sure to check all the small allies and doors. As I neared an old rustic building, I heard a noise coming from the front. There was a big trash bin with something moving behind it. Was it them? Did they follow my scent? Or did they see me when I was in the allies? My mind goes a mile a minute. Standing thinking about what I would do if it were them. Bang, crash, tingling, My heart stops as a piece of trash falls onto the ground. That’s it. They have me, I am done. But the only thing that then appears is a black cat walking with a mouse in its mouth. I put a hand to my heart, hoping that it would keep it inside my chest. Catching my breath again, I started to walk again. Soon, I reach the end of the allies and only see
Brian’s POV “Tell us right now,” I said, walking forward toward this guy who, for some reason, did not want to tell us where Hailey was. “She is my mate and I need to find her now! I can feel her and she is nearby. So, tell me NOW!” By this stage, Cayden was going mad inside my head wanting to kill this guy, and was clawing at me to get out. The hair on my hands started to come out. Rebecca placed her hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down. Then that dumb shit has the obesity to talk back, “You may be an Alpha, but that does nothing to me. You see me myself is one. I may not have a pack, but that does not mean that I have to be stepped over by an Alpha that just walks into my bar and demands to find a woman that is a human. I would have known if she was a creature and her name is not Hailey, but Hope. So, I think you have the wrong person. Will you please leave?” Standing there with his arms crossed, I only saw red. I really wanted to kill this guy but knew that that would n
Serafino’s POV “Tell us right now,” Brian said, walking forward toward this guy who, for some reason, did not want to tell us where Hailey was. I wondered for what reason he would want to keep her hidden. Did she ask him to or was there another reason? I could smell that he was an Alpha wolf, and I could not smell any other female on him, which meant that he was unmated. Did he want her? As Brian turned to leave, I turned to follow, but then something caught my eye. It was a jacket that she once wore at the pack house, but that didn't mean anything really, as there were probably thousands of them out there. It was the most common brand, but it made me think that they knew more than they told us. As we stepped out of the bar, a thought hid me. If we could get to my apartment, then I could phone Michael and hear what the story was about this wolf and if he knew anything about him. “I think we should get to my apartment and take a shower and have some lunch,” I said as we stepped onto
Cindy’s POV Cleaning the bar, I saw them walking in, shit they found her. But when they asked if she was here, handing me the photo, I knew the cloaking spell worked. But for some reason, Brian’s wolf could still feel hers. After the screaming between him and James and they left, I quickly went to check on Hailey, ensuring she did not know they were there. Would she go with them if she knew? Entering the apartment, it was dead quiet. Going to her room, I saw some of her clothes were gone. I lost her and now, due to my own cloaking spell, I can not locate her. “You need to find Hailey, she is gone. Find her and find her now” I was telling my people through our link as I knew they were all around the city. “I saw her going towards the woods” one links me back. “Get everything ready, I am going to get her.” With this, I transport into my witch-like state and start to swift through the woods. Near the waterfall, I got a glimpse of her. I have you now. As I reached her, I could not co
Serafino’s POV After I had a talk with Michael and rested, I went and got some blood from the fridge. It was deer blood and it was nice and chilling. Standing and sipping it, Rebecca enters the kitchen. “Hi, I love what you did to the place, but my favorite is this fridge. It is awesome,” she says as she takes out one of the human blood bags. I had a contact at the local blood bank and they gave me the blood that, for some reason, could not be used. I was not the kind that liked to milk humans just to get my fix. With this, Brian also arrives and just looks at us with a disgusted look in his eyes. “What, you eat raw meat in wolf form, don’t you?” Rebecca says and turns to leave. Those two, she does not like him much. I think it is because he treated Hailey not like a mate should and Rebecca was very emotional about mates or fated lovers. “I have talked to Michael. He had some very interesting news regarding that guy at the bar, James. He called him” Both Rebecca and Brian go sit
Hailey’s POV Opening my eyes, I see that I am not in the forest anymore but in a very run-down living room. The smell that came from the room was awful. The windows were broken and the curtains were thorny. It feels as if my head is going to burst and I do not have any strength in me to even move. Where was this place? I could feel that I was bounded to the chair. Hearing the door open, I looked up. Even that was an effort; my head felt like it was weighing a ton. My vision was blurry but I could see a figure approaching me. As it came near, I recognized the lady. CINDY! What the hell, is she here to save me? But then I heard her laugh and knew that that was not it. “Well…well. You are awake. It took you long enough. I have been waiting for you. I want to tell you everything I will be doing to you, so you know. It is for a good cause. You see I am a nice person, aren’t I?” She said, but I did not have it in me to react and I could see that this just infuriated her. Why would she d
Brian’s POV Walking straight into the bar, we saw James and another guy talking. They also have a New Orleans map pointing to some places. Looking at us, I could see that the other guy was the cabby that asked us if we wanted a ride to the city when we arrived. I knew there was something at the time I saw him in the cab, a feeling, but that stubborn brother of mine had to get his way and so we did not ask him as we should have. Maybe we would have had a quicker solution to finding Hailey. “James,” Serafino said as we approached them. I could feel the tension in the bar, especially from that bar lady. She knew something. Standing there waiting for Serafino to get to the point, I looked around. Coming here, neither I nor Cayden had that feeling that she was near, like the last time. Then what Mrs. Colby said come back to me. “I am here to tell you that she has Hailey, the Black Lady has her and your time is limited. She has her cloaked and the only way that you will be able to find h
Third person’s POV Brian, Serafino, and Rebecca were just standing there while James smashed the couch. All of them still had the same question in their minds. Whose blood was on the floor as none of them were hurt? Was it just an image like she was, or was it Hailey’s blood? And if so, what the hell is happening? “I should have known something was wrong with the bitch when she came to me the first time looking for work. I had a bad feeling but then just shacked it off as nothing. Even when she so quickly told Hailey or Hope, whatever her real name is, to come and live with her. I should have noticed something. I was so caught up in the fact that she was so beautiful and that I just wanted her to fall for me, that I did not think of anything else. I am a goddamn Alpha and should have used that power to feel danger, but no” Brian growls at his confession, Serafino’s eyes turned red and Rebecca stands ready to keep both of them back, should they want to rip him apart. But James did n
