Awww Killian and Sara are so cute! Poor Jax ;)
Alys was surrounded by darkness, she couldn’t move or call out. All she could do was be there. She didn’t know how long she had been like this but it felt like forever, she kept trying to feel for something other then her own mind. She kept trying to focus on Aiden hoping to somehow reach him, when she heard a soft whisper come from somewhere. ‘Be patient. I have a gift for you.’ Alys didn’t know who or what it was, but she huffed thinking that was easy for the voice to say, when she finally heard other voices. Focusing in on those voices with all her concentration, they started to get a bit clearer. “Ok, I’m getting out at the salon where I left my car. The directions to where you need to bring her are already set up on the GPS. Wait for the guy there!” Brandi’s voice rang out in a commanding tone. “Ok, ok, I heard you the first time.” A voice sounding much louder to Alys muttered back. Alys didn’t recognize it. “Good, once she is out of our hair things will be as they should
Aiden tried to go to bed but only tossed and turned for an hour, he couldn’t sleep. Alys’s scent surrounded him in his bed and it only reminded him that she wasn’t there. Finally tossing the sheets aside in frustration he decided to get up. He got dressed in what ever he could grab, not caring what he put on, and walked out of his suite. He made his way down to the dining hall, there were a couple of pack members eating breakfast before they left for their early morning patrol, but it was otherwise empty. He grabbed a cup of coffee from the coffee station nodding at the sleepy staff member who was checking on the food and coffee. He sat down in his chair and put his head in his hands. He didn’t know how long he was sitting there, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. “Here, I brought you a fresh cup of coffee. Is everything alright?” Brandi cooed at him, sounding worried. The feeling of her hand on his shoulder gave him the shivers and he shrugged it off and stood up. “Sorry, I just f
After Thomas led her into the room he closed the door and stood beside it, casually leaning against the wall. Aiden watched as her eyes darted around the room taking in each person there pausing at each one as if trying to read into their souls.“What is it that the alpha seeks?” Agatha asked, her head tipped to the side like a curious cat. Aiden sat down in the seat next to the one he pulled out for her and casually sat back. “To be honest, what I am looking for is information. Someone has taken something from me and I want it back. Are you able to help me with that?” Aiden decided in this case perhaps honesty was the best direction to start with, to an extent. “I am good at locating lost objects, but I feel as though this is more than a mere… object.” She grinned like the Cheshire Cat and her eyes lit with mischief. “It is something precious to you, oh yes, but I think it is a person.” She practically purred, why was Aiden getting the feeling she would turn into a cat right before
After Cody left, Alys found there was a small lamp on the end table, she turned it on and ate the soup and roll he had left before taking one of the pain pills for her head. She had no way to tell what time it was as the only window she could see had been completely boarded up and only a small sliver of light made it through, she didn’t feel like she had slept long so she thought Cody must have just brought her lunch. She looked around as best she could while attached to the bed post and could tell she was in some sort of rustic home or cabin. There were two doors to the room, the one that Cody used and has locked, and one to what she could only assume was either a closet or a bathroom. The only furniture in the room was the bed and two end tables and a small chest at the end of the bed. Cody came back after a while and asked her if she had to use the bathroom, when she nodded he took the cuff off the bed post then he led her to the other door. So she was right it was a bathroom. Inste
Aiden and Jax joined the hunt for Brandi, she was running south. Once they caught up to the warriors they paused for only a moment until he caught the scent, he knew it was hers. It only spurred him on, the need to catch Brandi ran deep through his soul, he needed to find Alys. They chased her for almost an hour, she was putting up a good fight evening running through mud and water to try and throw them off her scent, which almost worked, almost. She had had a good head start, but they were gaining on her quickly. Brandi had always cared more about her looks than actual training and after the required training as teens she quit, she couldn’t out run them for long. Aiden pushed his wolf harder, they were so close he could smell her fear in the air. Jax was keeping pace with him stride for stride and the two warriors flanked them on either side. Aiden ran, lifting his nose to the air inhaling deeply, he was catching up.They came into a clearing and her wolf was collapsed on the ground.
“Killian how long will it take you to portal Agatha?” Aiden asked him.“Not long, I just need to gather some supplies then I can draw a portal door as soon as they get back and send her off on her merry old way.” Killian replied cheerfully.“Good, Sara can help you find what you need. I would really appreciate it if you would come with us. I think we will need you, who knows what Cody has done to her.” Aiden asked him, hope mixing with the anxiety growing in his chest, knowing his mate is in that feral rogues hands. “Of course I am coming! I actually like her, she has a good soul and heart. Plus Sara would have my head if I didn’t help save her new bestie.” He replied smiling at Sara, she winked back at him while wrapping her arms around his waist. “You got that right.” Sara reached up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before turning back to Aiden. “Oh before I forget. Brandi left this with Ashley before she ran, I caught her trying to throw it in the garbage bins out back. It’
The rest of the drive into Hope Falls was quiet, Aiden couldn’t stop thinking. He was worried for his mate, if Cody was ruthless enough to blindly kill someone who was helping him, what would he be capable of doing to Alys. His mind kept flashing over and over to the pain he felt through the bond, he hadn’t felt anything else since the pain before they left and he didn’t know if he should be relived or more worried. Aiden had taken over driving from the clearing, he couldn’t just sit, he needed to feel like he was doing something. Jax was rummaging around in the cooler Sara had given them.“Yes, roast beef! I’m starving!” Lizzy had packed sandwiches and bottles of water in the cooler bag along with some apples. Jax started into a sandwich and offered one to Aiden. “No, thanks. I can’t eat right now.” Aiden responded, as Jax shoved another mouthful in his face. “It’s going to be ok. We will find her and then we will deal with Cody so this will never happen again.” Jax tried to reassu
“Seriously, you're a vampire!" Killian repeated himself staring at Mike with a calculated look as if he could expel the secrets with a look. Mike glared at him before composing himself and looking around again swearing. His nostrils flared and he stared at them for a minute. “Shit. This isn’t the place for this conversation. I will go sign in and tell the desk sergeant that I want an open patrol. Where can I meet you?” He asked. “We have rooms at the Inn. Can you meet us there?” Aiden motioned for the others to climb in the SUV as Mike nodded and walked into the building. Aiden watched him put on a smile and wave to the lady at the desk, he leaned against it chatting for a moment and nodding, he gave her a quick wave again before he walked into the back. Aiden got in and drove to the Inn. About 20 minutes later they were all in the same suite Aiden had before, Mike had just arrived and so did the other four. Thomas reported that there was nothing changed at either houses. Everything
