When I woke up I had silver chains on my wrists and ankles sitting in a small brick cell. "Hello!! Why am I in here!!!" I yelled out. Silence. Nothing but my chains clanking together can be heard. "You know I can't shift so these chains are pointless!" Just my luck. How did Lyle even find me. This is ridiculous.
"Can someone tell me why I'm here!!!! I'm just a fucking rogue! I don't do anything! I don't cross into packs! I don't hurt people unless I have to!!! Why the fuck am I a prisoner in this god forsaken hell hole!!!!!!" I scream. "Shut the fuck up!!" Someone hollers out. "Where am I? Why am I here?" I question. You're in a cell and you're here cause they want you here." The person spoke back.
I don't know how long I've been down here but I'm hungry and cold and I have to pee. "Can someone come unchain me so I can go pee!!!" I call out. "Goddess Zara. Don't you know how to shut up?" Lyle calls after me. "Lyle why the fuck did you bring me here?? Where even is here?" I ask him. As if on cue he steps in front of my cell door with a huge grin on his face. "Sister is that anyway to talk to your baby brother?" He spits out. "Lyle just tell me where I am." You're in Dark Moon. I just couldn't let you find your mate dear sister. This way you never can find him." He states. "Lyle, I haven't met my wolf yet I wouldn't be able to find my mate even if I wanted to. I've been fine by myself this entire time. I don't want my mate. I just want to live peacefully in my cabin by myself!" I tell him. "He was getting close and we can't have that sister." He says while walking away.
My mate was getting close to me? Who is he? I know it isn't Alpha Cain but who? Was that why Cain was hanging around? Waiting to see when I got my wolf so he could call my mate? But how would anyone know who my mate is? No one knows until your wolves meet. So how does Lyle know who my mate is? Do I even want to find my mate? I've been perfectly fine by myself this entire time. What if my mate is super controlling and won't let me do anything when we meet? I don't want that. I like being able to do what I want. I guess I won't ever get to meet him though since I'm locked down here anyway.
Alpha Cain's POV
I woke up still in Zaraphine's cottage. Her scent is just barely lingering so she's been gone for a while. I have to call Leo. I pull my phone out and dial his number listening to it ring. "Cain where have you been man? It's been two days. I have trackers out looking for you." Leo says as soon as he answers. "Leo, Lyle took her! He attacked us and took Zara." I tell him. "What do you mean he attacked you guys? You weren't supposed to interfere with her." He questions. "She came after me. She knew I was around. When I went for a run she followed me and told me she's known I've been following her and brought me back to her house. She can hear my wolf Leo. Why can she hear my wolf?" I ramble out. "Come back Cain. We'll figure it out." Leo tells me and I hang up and start making my way back to my pack.
I enter my territory and all of my guards bow there heads as I walk through the pack border and make my way to my office in the pack house. I open my office door and see Leo sitting at my desk on the phone. "Yes Alpha. Alpha Cain just walked in. Yes. We will help you find her. Okay. Bye Atticus." Leo says ending the call. "Alpha Atticus will be here tomorrow." He tells me. Shit why did he tell him his mate was missing. He's probably pissed at me for losing his mate before he's even found her. "Why did you call my brother Leo?" I question my beta. "He called Alpha. He wanted to know how Zaraphine was doing and if she had shifted yet. He's growing impatient and was going to head to her cabin and bring her back with him. I had to tell him that she was gone Alpha." He answers in a rush. "He's going to want my head Leo! I lost his mate!" I scream out.
I'm sitting in my office with Leo searching through files trying to find something that will tell us where Lyle took Zara but nothing seems to stand out. "Do you think he'd take her to Blue Moon, Alpha?" Leo questions. "No. He knows that's the first place we'd look. Lyle may be young but he's not stupid, Leo." I tell him.
Leo is asleep on the couch as I'm still rummaging through files. We've been searching for hours. The sun has set and is beginning to rise again which means Atticus will be here soon. I toss a crumpled up piece of paper at Leo hitting him in the eye making him jump up from the couch. "Shit Cain! What the fuck man! I was sleeping!" He yells at me. I chuckle a bit and tell him "Atticus will be here soon, go get cleaned up and let the guards know he'll be arriving."
'Alpha! There is a breach at the southern border! Send help!' One of my guards mind link me. I get up from my chair with a huff knowing it's my brother just making a scene. Walking out of my office I hear the pack yelling downstairs in a panic. 'He sure loves to cause issues' my wolf tells me with a huff. Making my way outside I see my warriors running around the field chasing my brothers wolves. 'Where's Atticus?' My wolf asks me. 'I don't-' I'm tackled from behind just as I'm answering him. Laughing I roll over and see Atticus' brown and white wolf "hello brother. Can you please call off your dogs." I chuckle.
