Aliya Mujahideen needed a plan, He might have spared her now but the next mistake she makes will be the last one. If he killed his own brother then what worth did she have as an employee —mind you, she wasn't a willing employee—
How was she going to get into the pack house without her distinct scent exposing her? What was she to do? How was she to do it?
The Hikrata being there even made it more complicated, if only she could demand the Grimoire.
She blinked, She could demand it as Ransom. If she kidnapped someone,—or two important someone then surely the Alpha would give her the grimoire as payment for their life.
The plan made, now she just had to wait for a victim.
She watched the gate carefully monitoring the people that came and went.
She sighed, they didn't look important enough, but what if she kidnapped an enforcer?
It wouldn't be that hard, but enforcers were called enforcers for a reason, they were the strongest in the pack apart from the Alpha and Beta. wouldn't it be risky? What if she got caught?
She smirked as an idea came to mind, if Mohamed didn't go to the mountain, the Mountain would go to Mohamed.
She just need a truckload of silver to get started and figure out how to get in and out without being spotted.
*********
Octavian was happy, he had gotten Valeria to agree to a dinner date, he just had to get Josh to agree.
He stopped, just a breath away from knocking on josh's door when he heard a crash.
A shout and then a loud thud. He frowned.
"Is everything alright there? Josh are you alright."
"Shit shit shit!" He heard a girl's voice
"Josh, are you in there with someone?"
When he heard no answer apart from a loud crash again Octavian kicked the door open.
"What the fuck!" He yelled.
Josh was being held down by a girl in a hijab and short flay gown and had multiple injections on his exposed neck, his arm and his chest. Josh eyes were drooping and unable to focus.
"Help." He whispered.
He approached, meaning to fight the girl off him when he jerked.
Somehow the girl had gotten off of Josh and was now sticking an injection in his own neck.
Before he could do anything he had another injection on his arm and then his chest.
The sudden weakness in his body and how he was unable to stand or fight told him everything.
Silver had been injected into his blood, and she had done the same thing to Josh.
"Hmph, got more than I was hoping for, but you'll both do."
"Why are you doing this." Octavian asked, his voice barely a whisper.
"You see, your Alpha has something of mine and my employer wants it back."
"What?."
"A grimoire." She answered, her voice sounded faint to Octavian's ear.
"Who are you?"
"I'm just the employee." She answered him.
******
Octavian groaned as he blinked his eyes open.
"Octavian!" Someone called.
"I'm awake." He said and tried to move his arm to run his face but jerked instead.
"We're tied down you idiot."
Was that Josh? Why was everything moving.
"We've been kidnapped."
"What." He jolted, blinking his eyes to see more clearly as he suddenly remembered.
"Oh shit we've been kidnapped." He whispered.
"Yeah, I realize that." Josh snorted.
"But why were we kidnapped?" He added.
"The grimoire, she wants a grimoire, how the hell did she get to you in the first place?" Octavian grumbled.
"It was a she?" Josh baited.
"Yeah, she was holding you down, but how the hell did she do it?"
"How did she hold you down also?"
Octavian huffed out a breath.
"She was moving very fast, I wasn't expecting it."
"No shit!"
"Stop joking, how do we get out of here?"
"I don't no man, but if you haven't noticed, we are fucking tied to an iron chair!."
"I noticed."
"Why were we even kidnapped!"
"Stop snapping at me, I was trying to save you when I also got attacked."
"And how did that go?"
"Oh stop being a jerk, I should have just left you, I wouldn't be here if I did."
"Yeah, thanks for nothing."
"Do you always have to be a jerk to me?"
"I'm always a jerk to you no matter what I say."
"Then don't talk!"
"Where are we anyway?"
"In a room." Octavian answered, his voice slightly mocking.
"I can see that."
"So why ask again?"
"Because there's a window behind you you idiot, look out the window."
"Oh yeah there is." Octavian turned his eyed to look out. "There's nothing but another empty room there."
"oh great."
"Oh shut up already." Aliya uttered, coming out from the door beside them.
"You're the kidnapper!" Octavian growled.
"Was it that obvious?" She goaded.
"Don't worry, you won't be here for long, I've alerted your Alpha that you've been kidnapped, he's going to give me the grimoire as Ransom for you to be released."
"And if he doesn't?"
"Then I'll send one of your dead bodies to him, and if he still doesn't, the pack will be performing a funeral for two of you."
"Why do you want the grimoire?" Josh asked.
"It's for my employer, I think he borrowed the dead girl and now he wants it back."
"So why can't he just come get it." Josh squinted.
"Is he stupid?" Aliya asked Octavian.
"I didn't know he was." Octavian answered.
"Tell me." Josh pressed.
"Would your Alpha give it to him without asking questions?."
"Of course not." Josh replied.
"He's a busy man, he doesn't have time to answer questions." Aliya sighed. "He just leaves his employers to do the dirty work."
"Why did he borrow Alicia the grimoire in the first place?" Octavian asked.
"I don't know," she grinned, "I think they were very very good friends though."
