Jason's PovSomething's wrong. I could feel it in my bones. I dump everything I'm doing and head down to the hospital. Ares wouldn't have called me like that if she was safe. I sincerely hope I'm just over reacting.“Has anybody seen Ares?!” I yelled the moment I stepped foot inside the building. Looking around frantically.“She was here earlier, but she left quickly.” Someone answered.“How long again was that?” I questioned him.“About two minutes ago,”he replied.“What about Allison? Where is she? She was the last person that saw her” I asked frantically.“She's still in her room” a nurse answered. I don't bother saying thank you before I dash through the corridors heading straight for that swine. Although Carlton didn't see anything strange about her, I shouldn't have let my guard down.“Where is she?” I asked as I stepped foot into her room. She was packing her bags, getting ready for the discharge.“Alpha” she answered in that meek tone of hers. I don't have time for pleasantr
Maverick's PovI wasn't expecting her to come through. If she hadn't brought her out after the three days mark we agreed, I had planned to storm in and take her myself. Now that I graciously knew where she was hiding.Whoever was hiding her did not account for internal betrayal. Amateur. So, Imagine my surprise when she dragged a very unconscious Ares to me.Now, I have this little butterfly in my possession. After running away for so long, she's back in my hands.“Pack up faster!. They know where we are. I'm sure someone would be coming for her!” I yell across the field at them.It's only been a few hours since I've had her. I have to keep pumping her full of wolfsbane to keep her sedated. The seer is finally being useful. She made something that can break off her connection to her mate. Whosoever the dick was.“Wait! You have to take me with you” a loud voice yelled. Ugh She's back.“I thought you said you didn't care what happened to her as long as you were not here?” I turned in h
Ares PovThe cold air makes me shiver. I wasn't in my clothes and I was wet and a maniac was standing in front of me. 'Allison!'. I remember what happened. She knocked me out and gave me this twat.“What? Are you too big to say hi now?” He asked sarcastically. I try pulling at the chains so I can wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze the life out of him.“Don't waste your time. I had these modified for you.” He winked “especially after your growth. Tell me, what exactly can you do now?”“Release me and I can show you”“You know, it's very unladylike to threaten someone. Didn't your parents ever teach you that?” He then answered himself “oh, that's right. You don't have one. Your parents are dead and the other don't really care” he tuts“What do you want?” I finally asked.“Your powers. See if you had told me about them before, I wouldn't have rejected you and ended up killing people searching for you.” He sighed “all those deaths are your fault.”“Well I can't share what I don't h
I've been mulling over telling the main psychopath that his partner was another contender at my throat or waiting to see who'll rip who out first before I have my chance with the last man standing.After she graciously shared her plans with me, she forced something into my mouth and made me swallow it. She said it won't kill me. It was to help survive Maverick's incoming wrath. I lost consciousness after that.I have no idea what day it is. My sense of time has already been misplaced since Allison knocked me out. I'm not sure if it's been two days or more.After last night, I've been getting injected with wolfsbane every four hours. I was weak, both mentally and physically. No matter how hard I try to contact Jason, I just can't seem to reach him. It's like there's a fog between our connections. I also can't reach Athena. I can feel at the back of my mind, but she felt so out of reach.I don't even remember the last time I ate. Coupled with the wolfsbane, I doubt my body can take anym
Jason's Pov“She's gone…” I sighed “she's been gone for four days now. I don't know how she is or what he's doing to her” I felt helpless in this situation. This is the longest I've been without breathing her in or smiling at her or just talking to her.The full moon was three days away. We planned to take Adriana out then go for a run together, but that can't happen now anymore.“We'll find her” Luke said, trying to reassure me, but it just wasn't working.“We haven't found anything!” I yelled at him “we already checked the last place he was seen and tracked him everywhere he went and he was not there” he knew we were gonna come for her and the bastard made sure to clear his tracks. If it wasn't for Justin and Josh, we might have not even found anything.“Let Cole do his thing. Trust him to do this right. He knows what's at stake” Luke said, slowly.I don't know what to think anymore. I've exhausted almost all my choices and it's making me frustrated.“I've been patient enough and it
“Luke, send a message to Killian and Cain. Have them meet me here.” I said “tell the we have something”“Josh” I turned to him “find Carlton and him give me the number of how many men we can spare” I instructed.“Cole. I'll need you to hand over some of your work duties to someone else.” I said “I'll have Luke stay behind, while you come with me” “No man. I'm not letting you walk into a possible trap alone” Luke protested immediately.“It's not a trap if we already plan for it” I retorted. “But we can discuss that later. Let's get to it.” I nodded at everyone. “Thanks Cole”He single handedly fueled the hope that was burning out already. I was getting desperate and it wouldn't be long until I did something desperate. I couldn't lose her too.They all left and got to work on what I asked while I came up with possible strategies. ***I had to open my dad's old mini conference room he had built in so he could talk to all the important persons around the pac
Cole, Josh, Carlton and I gathered in my office for the final preparations before the others get here tomorrow. “The strongest entrance will be the one within the mountains and it could also be the easiest” Cole began, pointing out the drawn map his insider got his hands on. “it is heavily defended, but the guards could get lax”“They don't believe someone could come from there” Josh pointed out.“We'll exploit that weakness,” Carlton declared. He was confident he could do it. “We'll just need to coordinate with some Jade wolf pack guys to pull it off”“Okay.” I agreed with him “Josh, you'll lead your group from the second entry. Find the person helping him and get rid of her” I pointed it on the map. “And Cole you're with me. We are using the first entry point” I said.He nodded without protest. Cole might be spending more time at the office, but he always kept up with his training. His strength was almost, if not equal to that of Carlton.“Once you're in, I'll need you to find Ares
Ares Pov“I've told you. I don't know,'' I said tiredly. We officially graduated from electric shock to wolfsbane injection for every answer. I was weaker than I was when I came, but I managed to convince him not to bring my parents.It's three days until the full moon. Two days and some hours if we are really counting. Two and half days to my death if I don't do something about it. The thought of Jason and little Adriana is the only thing giving me strength each time I feel like giving up.“And I've told you, you can end this. I'm not a monster Ares” Maverick said “if you Cooperate with me, all of this will end”“Too bad I'm not a willing participant” I retorted“I've been lenient enough not to actually hit you. Don't you want to know why?” He tilted his head in question“Not really, but I'm sure you'd enlighten me”“You know that phrase? 'careful with the merchandise'” he asked “I don't want to end up killing you by mistake before I get what I want”He moved closer and grabbed my ja
