Lucas' POV
A few days ago I smelled my mate by the border, but by the time I got there she was not there.
I have been trying to find her ever since then.
I slammed my hand on the office desk in frustration
mind link my beta to come to my office
He entered 5 minutes later
His name is Jack my best friend
“have you found her?” I ask
“no but-” he tried to explain himself
“No, no, no you must find her, and you will find her, regardless of what” I growled
“Alpha, we have a lead” he inserted
I nodded giving him permission to continue
“We kidnapped Alpha Tom's younger child, according to report her name is Lina” he told me
“good, now we have leverage” I said
I came to a conclusion yesterday that I checked every pack except the blood Moon pack
I dismissed my beta and told him to bring her in soon
Don't Asher said
Asher is my wolf
Don't what? I asked
Don't kidnap the girl he said
Why I asked
I don't know I just have a feeling this will end badly he considered
don't be a baby I mocked
One hour later
Jack knocked
“Come in, Jack”
“Alpha, we have managed to get the girl to calm down”
“Okay, bring her to my office”
5 minutes later
A younger teenager came walking in.
And while she has a lot of pride
She said on my couch and spoke
“Why am I here, Lucas” Lina spoke
“You're here because your pack has my mate” I growled out
“Ohh the idiot has a mate. We didn't kidnap your mate, idiot. But tell me when you find her, so I can send my condolence, I'm sure she's in for hell” she rudely opened her mouth
I would have commented on the insult she gave me, but she started talking again
“Let my brother get his hands on you, oh no let Kaden get his hands on you but, wait Ray will kill you before they get to” she laughed I told a joke which was pretty crazy
I ignored the fact that I don't know who Ray is
“What's so funny?” I asked, referring to the way she was laughing
“they are here” she said while looking out the window
“Who is here?” I asked, but she ignored me before I could ask again
I got mind linked by James
alpha we have unwanted guests
He said
try to keep them away from my office
I instructed
“I see your family is here” I said out of amusement
She just smiled
“Stay here” I ordered her
I locked the door and make sure guards stood outside the door
I went to a scene where my beta told me to
I saw Leo, Victoria, Jayden (Beta) and Thomson (Alpha) and Kaden
“What a pleasant surprise” I said with a sarcastic grin
they looked awfully calm for people with their family member in their rivals hand
“Where is my sister?” Leo asked calmly
Wow, that was so calm
“Straight to business, I like that” I commented
“No need for all this crap, my sister is already at home by now” he laughed
What the hell
James, check on Lina
I mind linked James
Ok I'll be right back
1 minute later
Alpha she is not here
He said
I growled and looked at where Leo and his family were standing.
They had left and they took Lina
I ran up to my office and pushed anything that was in my way
I stormed into my office and amazing scent hit me
mate my wolf shouted
she was here
there was one person missing in the meeting, their head warrior their head warrior must have sneaked into my office with my mate
I smelt another male
It shows that there were 5 people in this room over this hour
Me
my mate
their head warrior
Lina
And James
The blood moon pack's head warrior is a legend, he is known as the best fighter ever, he beat the rouge king, and he is praised everywhere
If I heard his name or had the chance to talk to him, I will make sure he joins my pack but no one has ever seen him. That's a shame
A brilliant warrior should be with a brilliant pack but such a waste and if he had declined my offer I would have killed him because it's a dog-eat-dog world
He is an asset but can also be a danger to my pack if his on the opposite side of war
Snapping out of my thoughts Jack and James came in
“Alpha we need you to meet with your dad” Jack said knowing I don't like the idea of being in the same room with “my dad”
“Ok, I'll go” I responded
here we go.
Raven's POV
I am fuming and about to kill someone
“Ha, we surely showed him not to mess with our family” Lina shouted
“Next time let me kick him in the nuts” Victoria said annoyingly
When Leo and others kept Lucas busy, Carlo and I went to rescue Lina
But when I got in amazing scent hit me and my wolf shouted “mate”, there was no time to investigate who the special person is because I knew Lucas will be back soon
So here I am
stuck just wondering
I snapped out of my thoughts and heard blabbering
“Enough, stop celebrating!” I shouted, silencing everyone
“Meeting, now!” I said as I headed to my office
Every one followed me (Leo, Kaden, Lina, Beta Jay, Alpha Tom, Victoria)
I sat on my chair and motioned for everyone to do the same
And they did
“I'm fuming, and I'm about to explode. So, somebody better start explaining” I said in a calm voice
“There is nothing to explain, I just got kidnapped” Lena said plainly, but she's clearly hiding something
“Lina, you're only in this meeting because you are the victim in all of this but what were you doing when you got kidnapped because if I remember correctly, I placed two guards with you and none of my guys were found” I gritted out
She squirmed under my gaze
“EXPLAIN!” I demanded for answer
“Um….ah… I went to a party and I would rather not take my guards, so I ditched them” she finally said
Oh now, I'm pissed
“Get out Lina because if I see you, I will… I will, you don't want to know what I will do” I said trying to keep up my calm look
She stood up, but before she left I spoke
“you're grounded, on complete lockdown. Homeschool” I spat
She gasped, but she accepted it because she knew if she argued it would get have gotten worse.
so she learned from experience.
“Now since that problem is solved I would like to inform you guys that there will not be a need for us to break into Lucas's pack tomorrow because I've got it all information we need when I sneaked into save Lina” I said
I saw Leo smiling and Kaden laughing
“Why are you two fools laughing?” I asked
They immediately stopped
“We were laughing at the punishment you gave Lina” Kaden answered
“I would gladly give you the same punishment” I said
Kaden paled and Leo laughed
“You too” I said while pointing at Leo
He also went speechless
I excuse them, and they left - they practically ran away
“Now Victoria, what were you saying?” I asked thinking now is time for her punishment right
“I did not say anything” she said
“About the border gossiping thing you created” I responded with a smirk
She coughed practically choked
A bigger smirk found its way up on my face
“Your punishment awaits you, no shopping unless it's approved by me, or I'm with you and none of your friends are allowed to come over” I said as I dismissed her,
She left without a word
Now it was only me, Alpha and Beta Jay
“With you around we don't need to parent” Alpha said with a laugh
“Yeah, but it's a lot of stress” I said
“Now I'm here to discuss your blood oath” Alpha said ….that upsets me
“Alpha Tom with all due respect I don't need to discuss that because I'm going to get my revenge whether you guys are with me or not.” I said as I left my office
I walked into my room and remembered to lock the door this time
I picked up my painting brush and I started painting again
~~~~~~
I added my finishing touch
I looked outside and saw the moon
It's that late
“It's already nighttime”
I sighed as I got up to shower
I showered and changed into my PJ
I laid down on my bed and thought about my mate
Going to sleep just wondering about him.
'Who is he?'
'Will he expect me the way I am?'
'Will he save me from my darkness?'
'Will he bring my everlasting happiness, or will he be the reason for my tears?'
~~~~~~
I have not slept all night
It's 6:06
I'm awake and confused
So I changed into something more comfortable and headed to the gym
I'm sure dad's going to be pissed
Anyway
I need to fight someone
I searched the gym for someone to fight with but of course it's only 6:20 am, none of the Fighters are awake yet
But there is one person that is always awake at this time...
Kaden
He wakes up early to…to…to
What does he do anyway?
Well, today's the day I find out
I found my way to Kaden's room and opened it
Yeah, I just open it. You want to know why?
I have the key to everyone's room
One of The perks of being head warrior
I walked in and saw my brother sucking a blood bag
Aww…
Just disgusting. No Raven, he's your brother
shit, I'm talking to myself again. Snap out of it
“Raven, don't just stand there” Kaden said
He wiped his face that was full of blood
I'm pretty sure I turned green
“Raven!” He shouted, "Good morning, Kaden”
“Morning Ray, what do you want now?” He asked
“I want nothing” I lied through my teeth
“So you're telling me, you left your warm bed, climbed down the stairs went to your office to retrieve the keys of my room and then walked all the way to my room just to say good morning at 6 a.m.” Kaden said as he packed all the empty blood bags away
He left me speechless, and I'm never speechless
“Okay, you got me” I admitted
“Why are you here then?”
“I'm here to ask you for a favor” I responded
"No, no, no” he said as he backed up
“Why not?” I asked
“When you ask for favors, I end up in the hospital” He stated
“It was once, Kaden” I defended
I remember that as if it were yesterday, but it's a story for another day
“Nah, you're going to get me killed” He deadpanned
“Don't exaggerate, Kaden” I rolled my eyes
“I'm going to die and haunt you for the rest of your life” he added ignoring my last comment
I hate to admit it, but my brother is a fool
“Bra shut up, you didn't even hear what the favor was” I shouted
“Ok but no in advance” he said
Psst, he can't say no to me
“I want to train with you” I said truthfully
“Why didn't you just say so” he questioned me
“Where did that sudden boost of confidence come from?” I asked
“Well I have changed physically over the years” Kaden shrugged
“But not mentally” I laughed
“Stop laughing. I'm being serious. Furthermore, I am no more the little boy you need to protect” he spoke shit
“Wait, wait. Kaden, where is this coming from?”
“You always want to take care of us, but you won't open up to us” He continued
What the Hell! This is what dad told him to do, right!
“Kaden, I came here to ask you to train with me and not to talk about this BS” I am furious
“Did dad tell you to do this” I asked
He went silent
“Okay, your silence proves me right” with that I stormed out of his room
I'm storming mad and storms devastate. Hey, see what I did there I rhymed but no need for a celebration
I'm mad, now the problem is how do I stay mad until I find my dad.
