Chapter 4

Kayla's POV:

It has been 3 long weeks since I was taken from Seth. It has been the longest 3 weeks of my life they have been utterly horrible because I will not break the lucky thing is they have no idea I am a shifter. 

The stupid wolves think I am just a wild horse that is struggling to come to terms with been ridden, which really is not the case. I have never been ridden before and I am not going to let anyone bully me into it. 

And that is exactly what they are trying to do right now, there is 3 of them which I have not even bothered to learn the names of them if I am honest just twit 1 2 and 3 but I will give it to them they are very persistent on having their own way, but it is getting harder and harder to keep my secret.

Honestly staying on my horse form for any extended period is not good for my human side, and I am worried that I am going to find it hard to come back from this sometimes I can feel my human half slipping away very slowest so there will be nothing left but my horse, and that scares the shit out of me. 

If Seth does not show up soon then I will either risk shifting back for a little bit or risk losing myself. 

Anyways back to right now, so twit 1 is not trying to get a bridle on me while twit 2 is trying to saddle me up but it is not going the plan for them as I am struggling like hell if they think it is going to be easy even after this long then they have another thing coming. I honestly do not know what twit 3 is planning and it is honestly worrying the shit out of me, he is smarter than the other two and he keeps looking at me like he know my secret which I am sure he does not as I have been so careful and I have kept my scent masked but then I do not know as it is taking a lot of energy out of me as well to keep it masked I do not know how much longer I can keep this up before I cannot keep it up. 

After a few hours of them trying and getting nowhere with me, twit 1 and 2 both walk out and leave me alone but twit 3 does not move a muscle waiting for the other 2 to be out of hearing rage before he slowly stalks towards me and starts talking a in a soothing manner, "there is something about you little ginger beauty that I just can't but my finger on, you're not just any normal little filly are you? I will find out more about you if it the last thing I do" and with that he walk out of my stall and leaves me to my own thoughts.

I wonder if Seth is even looking for me, I mean he's a wolf snd for his mate he can do a lot better than a horse, I never understood how it would work between the two of us it unheard of to have 2 different species for mates, I don't even know if I want to complete to mating with him I don't want to hold him back but I also don't want to be held back or leave my herd when I find my way back I honestly don't think I can cope fully living with a wolf let alone with a pack of them how would they ever respect having me as apart if there pack, because I honestly don't know my self and I clearly don't blame them my herd wouldn't allow a wolf to live among them with them been predictors and what not, but I also don't know if I want to live without my mate, I've missed him these past few weeks I just want him to hold me and tell me everything will be okay, but I also don't want him to find me I want to escape and leave this place behind and maybe go travelling. But I have also heard that wolf can be very territorial and protective over what they believe the be there is so I honestly do not know what Seth will do, I doubt he had let me go willingly but it might be for the best for everyone if I just disappear for good.

Do not think I have not forgotten what twit 1 wants to do with me either I know they plan to breed me with a stallion they have but they have been trying to gain my trust before they can even think of putting me in foal, because they know as well as I do that I am bad now but if they put me in foal without me trusting them then it will be whole lot worse if I have a foal to care for. 

I'm honestly scared that they will try anyway obviously with my been a shifter it's not just like they can breed me I have a mate for fuck sake, but they obviously don't know any of this but I'm scared as to what they will do if they do find out I'm a shifter, horse shifter are so rare these days as they stay in hiding amount wild herds most of use stay in our horse forms for the most part of our lives, I'm so close with my horse half it's not normal for wolves but she's just as scared for us as I am. 

Seths POV:

It has been 3 weeks... 3 long fucking weeks since Kayla was taken, and nothing no sign or trace of her as if she had never existed. 

But I obviously know she had I can sort of sense her with her been my mate so I know she is alive but that is about as much as I can get from the mate thing since we never fully mated or claimed each other, but I fully intend to when we find her and we will find her I know we will I will not give up she is mine and no one else and my wolf of going mad he knows she a horse as strange as it is but he still sees her as his and that is all he cares about. 

We've looked all over the packs that soo round us and some have mentioned that there are a family of wolves they don't belong to a pack but they have a horse ranch and they are well know, for capturing wild horses either taming them and selling them on on keeping some filly's to breed with there best stallions, I just hope Kayla isn't there, her horses half of wild and very untrust worthy but she's also one of the most beautiful majestic horses I ever seen, that's not just because she's my mate but if she's hiding herself from them and they think she's just a horse, I'm more than 100% sure they will want her to breed from, with that thought my wolf growled in my head obviously just as furious with that thought as I am, no one touches what's mine! No one so after we e had this meeting and we find out where this farm is, I will be paying them a visit. 

I just hope it is not too late.

Kayla POV 

The next week was torture from the 3rd twit he would not leave me alone insuring on been near me and me and my horse blue hated it, did not want him near us or touching us it is revolting.

He said that is he can't get near me today he's just gonna put me in an enclosed paddock that I can't escape with one of his stallions, and just Ben done with it, that thought is scaring the shit out of my I don't want another horse to mate with me I don't want to carry there foal, I need to get out of here today before any of this can happen, if his stallion is anything like the ones I've come across in my time they are rude and ruthless, and will do anything to have what they want. 

I might not know what I want to do about my mate, but I cannot let this happen it will destroy him and much as it will me, my horse will end up rejecting the foal if it is not produced from out mate. But we also have no idea what would happen if I mated with Seth. 

On to bigger problems I can feel blue starting to take over completely, and that isn't good soon there will be nothing left of me and it will just be blue that's left to depend for her self, which she's never had to do before, I need to shift and I need to shift soon, she know this as much as I do, but we are also too scared to shift back, I am o my a horse shifter and we don't do well in danger, I'd rather run from it than face it which is exactly what I intend to do, an amazing smell bring me from my thoughts and I can tell it's the smell I've missed so much the smell of my mate....

I can hear him arguing with twit 1 about me but he has not seen me yet and I can feel blue is restless to get to her mate to feel protected, that is all we both want now knowing that our mate is close by so she calls out to him, hoping he will come to her just as much as I am. 

Seth POV 

After having the meeting, me and a few of my best enforcers are on the way to the address of the farm I need to know if she is here if my Kayla is here, I need to her and I need to know she has not been harmed that is what most on my mind what has happened have they hurt her or tried to breed from her. 

A couple of hours later we are pulling into the farm and there are some beautiful horses in the paddocks so I can tell this is a way to live to them it is how they make their money but that is no good enough to come onto my territory and take what's mine. 

As we walk to barn, I can already sense my little mate is here somewhere and I fully intend to find her; I need to be careful though there are few horse shifters left so when they are discovered the can fetch a pretty price on the black market which I will not allow for my mate.

As I walk through the door to the barn I see an old looking man walking towards me. 

"Can I help you sir?" 

I responded with "yes a stunning chestnut mare was stollen from my territory and my resources have led me to you. If you want to keep you life you'll tell me the full truth" 

"I'm sorry sir is wasn't aware that someone stole one of your horses may I ask what she looks like?" 

So, I told him, all about my mate and what she looks like, and I can see the old wolf turn pale I do not need him to confirm it anyways I can sense here. 

"I'm so sorry sir we don't have a horse that matches that description" 

I growled out in anger trying my hardest to control my wolf which was not easy, we both know he is lying to us and been an alpha it is quite insulting so I grab him by the throat and hold him still while speak in my most deadly tone "if you lie to me again I won't hesitate to fucking kill you, now take me to MY horse if you value your life and if those around you."

He coughed and clawed at my hands and replied with a "yes sir" 

I let him go and he fell to the floor, and called fir someone to take my time my mate, I gladly followed the young wolf but kept a close eye out fir any threat. 

Kayla'S POV

Once I heard the footsteps drawing closer to my my ears perked up, I nee it was my mate and I was so exited but just before they got close enough I saw twit 3 coming in to my view and entering my stable he clearly has no idea of what's going on, he went to grab me again like he always does, but I bite his hand and he screeches in pain and goes to hit me but just before he could a low growl was heard and my mate came into view but I could tell his wolf had taken over by the colour of his eyes if not seen his mate for over a month and then when he does the first thing he sees is someone going to hurt me it will if tips his wolf over the edge, I don't blame him but I don't care about that now I just want to leave this awful place and go back to his pack with him and forget about this it's been some of the worst 4 weeks of my life and I've had a rough past, 

With my head I nudge him when he gets closer and that give me his full attention I shake my head to show I want to go and not bother with the rest with a shake of his head he know what he means and he goes to put a head collar on me which I allow but to this twit 2 and 3 are both gawking and me and Seth since they could not get near me, and I acted wild and crazy, but I was not there is to take so I was not going to trust them and neither was blue. 

"Let's go home blue" Seth said in my ear so to that I know he has kept my secret and has not mentioned me been a shifter, which makes me wonder how he to them to let me go.
