Logan About halfway through the trip my father set us up on a conference with the girl's father and other enforcers as well as the alpha that was there with my siblings. Each group was gathered around the laptops that connected us so everyone would be on the same page. Introductions were made all around and my father asked for an update from Alpha Kai first. He was young for an alpha, not much older than the twins. "She was taken at approximately 0500 this morning from the beach. It's belived that she was out running as this is a ritual of hers -" he looked towards my sister for confirmation. She nodded and he continued. "There were 4 of them, they caught her unaware. Her shoes and cell phone were found on the beach about a quarter mile away. 2 vampires and 2 witches. There was a pile of ash where one vamp was apparently killed next to some blood, some of which was the girl's. The only video we have is of 3 men getting into a dark sedan with a girl who looks to be pas
Azalea I nodded as best I could. So he continued. "Now I will offer you a little treat so that you can stay conscious enough to listen to me," he said pushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear before walking around to my back. "The whip I used was laced with wolfsbane, just a small enough amount to sting and to slow your healing, not that you need anything to slow your healing more, do you my pet? That human blood is really slowing things down for. But... I can give you a taste of the pleasures I could bring you," he said kissing the back of my shoulder. He kissed his way down to where the cuts started, the stinging pain of his lips against them giving way to a wierd sense of pleasure as he licked each one. It was sick and it pissed me off, but he was right. I almost moaned as I his cold tongue soothed my hot torn flesh. I growled at him instead. Thankfully my wolf was not feeling receptive to his minstrations. He laughed as he scraped his teeth against the side of my ne
Logan My father called out for them to come in - it was Alpha John and his team. Introductions were made quickly and my father and Steve made a plan to extract Azalea. We all geared up and then my father laid out the plans. Alpha John would stay here with a small team - the doctor, Kyle and the other tech guy, my brothers and sister, her friends and brother included -to protect home base and be ready for any injuries that might occur. The other group was going to take out the guards and infiltrate the building to get her out. My father and the fae would stay outside to make sure none escaped as well as to create a distraction and contain the scene if needed. Steve was leading the inside team. "Cassie, get the doctor set up in her room. Jason and Markus bring the gear for the doctor to the room for him," my father directed her. She squeezed her mate's hand and began walking the doctor to the room. I looked at my dad and he just nodded, already knowing where I was going. I
Logan We had the building surrounded, with updated infared showing on the laptop in my father's hands. At some point, a vampire had gone into the room where we assumed Azalea was being held and lifted her from the floor to hang her from the ceiling again. They had landed a drone on the roof of the building and had been able to pick up snippets of conversations. "They're getting ready to move her. We need to move now," Steve relayed. "Last guards are down and explosives are set. Ready in 15, 14, 13,..." He counted down. I let my wolf come forward some, lending me his strength. I was on the roof of the building where she had made the whirlwind with the help of Charlotte and Titus who practically tossed me up here. I could see her hanging unconscious through the window and was just waiting for the explosives to go off before I jumped through the window. I told my wolf our mate was fierce and smart and strong and soon she would be in my arms. Azalea I hung there unconscious
Rich I had told that stubborn son of mine months ago that I suspected she was his mate, but he didn't listen spouting off about ages and whatnot. I am glad that he came to his senses and that we had her back. Now I was just waiting on Steve to get back. I had sent most of the enforcers to their rooms for the night after setting up a patrol schedule and having them set up drones to constantly keep watch around as well. Logan has sent everyone but the doctor waya so they were spread around the rooms waiting to hear back. The twins, Cora and Celia were playing a board game they found while Cassie and Titus were sitting on the balcony talking. I was both happy and sad that she had found her mate - plus a little surprised. Titus was one of the oldest fae I'd met but I knew he was very powerful and he would take care of my princess. Alpha John, his son, and his son's mate - who was actually alpha Kai's sister- were sitting at the kitchen counter talking. His son and his daughter
Azalea I was sitting with my feet hanging over the side of the bed when Dr. Mack walked in. "Good morning. How are you feeling dear?" he asked coming over to stand in front of me. "A little sore," I coughed out. My throat felt like it was on fire. "That is to be expected. I have the alpha making you some tea that Hortencia sent over. Should help fix that right up. What do you remember of your injuries from yesterday?" He asked placing his stethescope along my back as I spoke. "That bastard on the beach bit me and choked me. Then pain in my shoulders from hanging any my ribs from... I don't know. My wrists were raw from the ropes. I don't feel much of that though. A little bit when I breath in but not what I was expecting at all. Umm... Arick ... he healed me and then he whipped me. He said it was coated in wolfsbane. Shit stung like fire. Then he ... made the pain go away before he sratched me with his fangs again. He seemed upset that he couldn't glamour me and that
Azalea After Cassie braided my hair the doctor came over and checked my throat, giving me the all clear for today. He did recommend that I have a cup of the tea every morning and before bed for the next few days just to help boost my healing. The rest of our group slowly made their way to the living room ready to go. Rich sat at the table with Charlotte, Steve, Titus and my father discussing who they could trust on the counsel and who might be behind the leak of my location. I tuned them out trying to get in a different head space. I was going to enjoy these next few days no matter what. Luckily Logan decided to join us at that time and then we were off. The driver of the SUV was named Rogelio. He insisted we call him Lio as he would be staying with us for the remainder of our time here. He was actually personable so him joining us wouldn't be a drag. I would need to remember to thank Rich for that. It made having a shadow a lot less painful. The helicopter that we h
Azalea I crashed hard after the beach party barely remembering to brush my teeth before passing out on the bed. I was up early the next morning slightly disoriented. Strong arms pulled me flush against a very warm naked chest causing me to squeak as I was startled. A deep breath against my neck and hairline and a deep "good morning" had me relaxing against him. Oh god his sleepy voice was panty melting. "Um hi. Do you not have a bed?" I asked not remembering him going to be with me last night.He laughed and rubbed his face along my exposed shoulder. I glanced down and realized I was wearing one of his shirts again. Someone must have changed me because I swear I was still wearing my sundress when I laid down last night. I frowned slightly and tugged at his arms to no avail."Yes I do have a bed - it's where ever yours is little one. And yes before you get too mad I changed you so you would be comfortable to sleep. I turned the lights off though and looked away. You look a
