I wake up the next morning with the sun blazing in my eyes and the warmth of the sun on my skin the spaces beside me are empty but still warm so the twins haven’t been gone that long. While we lay in bed last night they whispered their promises to me about finding Cole and they would be gone most of the day with Theo in their search for him.
I stretched out in the bed like a cat and pulled myself up to s sitting position before swinging my legs out of the bed and onto the fluffy carpet that cushioned my footsteps all the way to the bathroom, I cranked the shower on and stripped out of my clothes, testing the water under my hand before stepping into the shower.
I had a renewed sense of determination this morning I needed to get answers from Jewels about Coles dragon and how she knew him, I knew it wasn’t a tale of happine
This was a long chapter guys so I have split it into two seperate ones Jewels will clear up some of the details when her and Aria speak again in the next chapter! I also wanted to thank you all for your continued support on the book your all amazing! x.DanahLouise.x
I looked back at Jewel's as she stared back down at me, it took me a moment to think of what to say back, that poor woman had been ripped away from her mates and forced into a relationship with a man that didn’t care for her he abused her at every opportunity he could because she would not choose him over her mates. “What happened with Tammy’s father? Why did he hand her over to Kristian?” “Kristian paid her father for her, his business was failing and he needed an influx of money to keep it going, but he had nothing to sell no assets, no jewellery nothing so he bargained the only thing he had, Tammy” My mind was running a hundred miles an hour, I couldn’t understand how a parent could do that to their own child. “Did he know what Kristian was like?” She nodded her head in reply. “Kristian had a reputation around women and his name got around, people knew he was brutal with women a few of the working girls were ruffed up by him and ref
Morning came around far too quickly. I felt like I had only slept for a minute before my alarm started ringing out. The twins were on either side of me, legs and arms everywhere, I slowly wiggled my way out of the bed and padded over to the window that overlooked the acres and acres of land that sprawled out behind the twins home.
I ran towards the twins and the unmoving body lying in the road, and threw myself down on my knees as I skidded to a stop next to the body laying there. I looked down and my heart nearly stopped when I saw his face covered in multiple bruises, his eye swollen shut and his lip was busted too, I reached out carefully and laid my hand on his chest, searching out his heartbeat, my hand skimmed across his chest until I felt the dull thump-thump of his heart.
We stayed with Landon throughout the night, the beeping of the machine was a constant reminder of where we were. The twins slept in the chairs across the room whilst I was in the chair next to Landon’s bed, my head laid next to him on the bed as I held his hand.
I’m laying in bed staring at the ceiling above me, the shadows dancing above me playing a haunted scene before my eyes, a gentle breeze sways through the room from the open window and I can hear the noise of each nocturnal animal around the estate, it’s like listening to a sorrow-filled symphony.
Time seems to blend into a continuous stream without a window to tell me whether its day or night I have absolutely no idea what time or even day it is or how long I’ve been down here, each day the same guy brings me a tray of food but I don’t see anyone else. I try and connect with Jewels but I’m met with silence every time, I'm sure they're poisoning my food or water with something but I have no option but to eat what they give or starve to death and that is not something I’m willing to do, I need to get back to my twins. I picture their faces every dip and crease of their features their lips, Molton eyes and high cheekbones, I miss them so much, I rub my chest trying to rub away the ache that’s settled there since I’ve been kidnapped and separated from them but nothing eases it. I know they must be feeling the same ache I am and it tears me apart to think of the pain that they must be feeling but I’m trying to figure a way out of here but there
Dragus’s POV I woke with a startle the space beside me empty and cold as I ran my hand over the sheets, Darian was still snoring softly on the other side of the bed, I couldn’t see Aria anywhere, the soft glow of the bathroom light seeping underneath the door had me thinking she was in there. I rose from the bed and padded my way over to the bathroom, I couldn’t hear anything coming from inside so I pushed the door open and glanced around, the room was empty, no sign of her. My heart started to quicken as I backed into the bedroom, turning and surveying the room around me, maybe she’d gone to get a drink or something? The French doors leading out to our balcony were open and a light breeze filtered into the bedroom as the curtains swayed, I strode over to the doors and stepped out into the warming air, there was a blanket on the chair in the corner and a chair was laying on its side but there was no sign of Aria. Panic started setting in and I ran
It's been three days since Aria was taken and each day my heart hurts more and more, my heart feels like it’s being torn from my chest, I've tried reaching her but I get nothing, nada, and it's becoming a war in my head, I want to snap, to fight, to tear the world apart until I find her, but I know it will do no good if I can not think clearly. Each minute I'm fighting my dragon for control, his need for his mate growing more and more as the time passes and he is becoming just as restless as me. I can see the same war playing out on Darian’s face, we're like a mirror image in this exact moment, eyes flashing, teeth bared on the knife-edge of the abyss that lies below, we need to find her and we need to find her now. Sitting in our father’s office waiting for the list of those men who knew about the new surveillance systems that we had installed, we have a rat among us and they helped Eli take Aria from us. Darian’s knee is bouncing up and down and with a hard look on
