Pain

Malik

I pace around my dad's office, as he dials the emergency number for supernatural's. Finally someone picks up. "412 what's the emergency?" A lady asks. "Hi yes, I'd like to report a kidnapping." My dad says. "Okay, and where was the location of the incident?" She asks clacking on her keyboard. "The Waterford's lake house." He replies. I pace more getting impatient. " Okay and about how long have they been gone?" She asks, I rub my hand down my face getting aggravated. "For maybe about an hour." He says. "Ok and do we have a description of the kidnapper?" She says her hands typing away. " Yes, actually I know who did it, his name is Acheron. The King of the Fire elementals." My dad says. " Unfortunately, this seems like a political matter. We would not be able to intervene as it is a multi species issue. If you like I can refer you to the council of supernaturals and you can put in a claim with them. Would you like me to go ahead and transfer you?" She asks. "No! I just want you to find my mate!" I scream. "I'm sorry, sir.I understand that this is very difficult, but sadly it is not a matter we are equipped to deal with. Now would you like me to transfer you or I can hang up?" She says, clearly not in the mood. " Yes please transfer us, thank you." My dad says. She puts us on hold as the music plays on and on. " Son, I understand what is happening right now is difficult, but we have to go through the proper channels to get her back. Like she said this is political, and if we are to forcefully go in and take her it could start a full on war. You would know that if you paid attention in your King lessons." He states calmly. " Father, I don't understand how you can be so calm about this. How would you feel of mom got taken?" I say trying to put it on a level to where he might understand my pain. "I would probably be doing the same thing son." He says. Our call is eventually taken and we file a complaint with the elemental clan. The guy said they would open an investigation and let us know if they found anything out. I don't really understand why they have to find out anything because I saw with my own eyes her being taken by their King. "Malik, how are you holding up." Ajax asks, worry clearly written across his face. I force a smile, " I've obviously been better." I say straining myself to not blow up. The worst part is. I couldn't even call upon my wolf. Every year on the spirit moon us wearwolves take precaution and stay indoors as that is the one night we are rendered useless as werewolves. However this year, it fell on the end of year dance that I just so happened to be taking my mate too. I wasn't gonna not go. Although thinking back, maybe we shouldn't have. If we had just stayed in, and had a quiet night together she might still be here. I feel as ajax places his hand on my shoulder in a comforting way, "like I said earlier Malik, we will get her back." He says. I reluctantly nodded my head in agreement.

3 months, it had been 3 months since she was taken and my wolf and I had, had enough. The council had nothing. They could not make any type of political move. Their dumb defense was that it was within Acheron's jurisdiction as King, as she was an elemental, not a werewolf. Didn't they understand she was my mate and that she was the princess of the werewolves and this country? Wouldn't that make it both jurisdictions? I mean what was he king of? He certainly was no king of a country. I mean sure he'd been the ruler for hundreds of years but who cares? Isla, Ajax, and I had come up with a plan. We had a friend who was an elemental. She left Acheron's jurisdiction years ago, and she might be willing to help us get Audra back. That way it's still following the legal rule, and I get my mate back. I call her after lunch and convince her to get on board, and eventually I do. We had a plan set and now all we had to do was put it into action. I'm coming Audra, I will save you.
