Scott McBaran's POV
I was running around to see that the ballroom was emptying the crowd. I was looking for my lover when I saw that Noah was talking to someone before he turned to look at me and waved. We approached him before he was looking at the guys that were behind me.
"Edmond Lattone and Lucas Dow. As I live and breathe," he said as he was shaking hands with his investors. They were smiling before Noah turned to look at Conall and then he saw something that was stopping him a minute.
"Noah, are you okay man?" I asked him before he blinked and he was looking at Conall and me before he smiled.
"Yes. I just thought that I saw someone that I was familiar with," he said before he was looking at Conall.
"And you must be the duke that they all talk about. I am Noah Vork, Your Grace," he bowed at Conall before I was rolling my eyes. Conall laughed.
"Please, just call me Conall. Conall Reid is my name," he said as he was shaking hands with Noah before he blinked at Conall.
"Reid, you say? Did you have any relatives with you?" He asked Conall before I was getting interested in this interaction right now. Why would Noah be interested in Conall's family tree?
"Yes, I have a cousin. She's 22 this year as well. Aren't you 22 as well?" Conall asked Noah before he smiled.
"I see," Noah said before I was clearing my throat before I was turning to look at Conall and the others before I was asking Noah the question that I was trying to ask earlier.
"Say, have you seen our women?" I asked him before he was nodding at me.
"Ah yes, they went out after you guys were out of the ballroom for a while. They were giggling and chuckling. I think they might paint the town red considering that you guys are ignoring them," Noah said before I was looking at him.
Paint the town red? Not on my watch when there was a villain that was lurking around.
"Wait, so they just left?" I asked as I was looking at Noah. He nodded.
"Yeah, they were rushing as well before I was able to ask where they were going—"
I did not listen to any of his explanations before I was running out of the room. I was moving fast between the crowd before the guys were following me.
"Where are we going?" Edmond asked.
"To the motel," I said curtly.
"Wait, you stay at the motel? I thought you're in Giovanni's hotel?" Edmond asked me before I was rushing toward my car. Conall cursed before he was looking at the empty parking spot.
"Damn it, Katrina. Why did my wife have to be a bloody stubborn woman? I told her no driving while she was with me,"
"And yet, you are not with her. She is with her sister and our wives," Edmond said before I was unlocking the car and we were out of the parking lot before I was speeding to the motel room that we shared for the last couple of days.
I was screeching the road before I saw that my motel room was being kicked down and the owner was asking for me.
"What is going on here?" I asked the owner before she was crying.
"There was��there was…" the owner said as she was trying to form words before Lucas was calming her down.
"Easy, take a breath, ma'am. Tell us what happened,"
The old lady was taking a deep breath before she was looking at me and I was hearing everything that she was saying right now.
"Okay, okay. Well, there were two people, a man, and a woman, that was barging down on this room and I was about to stop them but they were carrying pistols and I was too afraid to do anything. The woman asked me to get something and before I knew it, they were blowing this room up and I was surprised to see that it was in vain to stop it," the woman said as I was looking at Edmond and Conall. They were looking at me before I was seeing that Lucas was concerned as well.
They have kidnapped our women.
I was gripping my hands into fists before I was nodding at my guys. They were walking away from the scene before Lucas was calming the old lady down. I tapped my chin before I was trying to run the scenario of the abduction that could have happened to our women.
"We have to find your brother right now. I don't think that he was stable enough to do this himself," Conall said as I was looking at him.
"I need to see my wife. She was not built for this condition," Edmond said before we all glared at him. He put his hands up.
"Okay, maybe she was usual to this kind of situation but that was from her consciousness. This abduction will do no good to her," Edmond said as I was rolling my eyes. Then I turned to Lucas and he just shrugged.
"My wife has nothing to be worried about," he said as I was arching my eyebrow at him.
"Are you sure? What about her blood and the fact that they all have enough time genes in their body that they can power up a massive time portal?" Conall asked before we all snapped to him.
"Wait, what did you just say?" I asked him as Conall was rolling his eyes at us.
"They all have power in their blood that can time travel. If they have been planned for this abduction, they might have found a way to get their blood and without the gemstone to get the portal working. So, we have to start looking for them before they can change the history of the world," Conall said as I was nodding at him.
"So, we need to bring our best game into this," I said as we all looked at each other.
"I have been waiting for this," Edmond said as he was rubbing his hands together. Lucas rolled his eyes.
"Just keep your side to yours and stay out of mine," Lucas said before Edmond was smirking.
"I hope we are not too late before the history of the world is in our hands now," I said as I was looking at the moon before we were out of the courtyard and we were off to set up for the rescue of our women.
Karla, wait for me, my love.
Karla Kuznetsov's POV
I was groaning before I was trying to move but couldn't. I was looking at the ceiling before I was blinking slowly at the world around me. I was tied up with my sister on my right and the others on my left.
I was looking at the woman that was looking at me while she was sharpening her daggers. I can see that she fancies them as she was looking at their edges before I was trying to get the insight into the building right now.
"Don't bother to make an escape plan. You will not get through the first door. Not on my watch," the woman said as I was looking at her. She has this aura about her that she was a good swordsman and I don't want to be on her bad side.
"Who are you?" I asked her before she turned her eyes to look at me. The woman was looking at me before she smiled at me.
"I am you," she replied before I was furrowing my eyebrows.
"I don't understand," I replied to her before she was chuckling and put the dagger down. She stood up and I was looking at her as she was crossing her arms and she was standing in front of me.
"Since you were taking my identity to be me, I took yours. It only seems fair to be that way, cousin," she said as I just remembered that my fake ID was based on my cousin's real identity.
Karina Kazakov.
"No, you don't understand,"
"Yeah, save your chit chat. I don't want to hear anything from you," Karina said as her amber eyes were looking at me before she was walking toward the door at the same time that man who looked like Scott was here. But his eyes were different.
They were olivine before my cousin was kissing the Scot. I think we have a fetish for the Scots, it runs in the family.
"I see that one of them has awakened. We can start with the extraction now," the man said before my cousin was looking at me.
"With pleasure," she said as Karina was approaching me with something. It looks like a syringe.
Okay, I think this is not going to end well. Fuck!
