Chereads / The ONE That Matters / Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

Turns out they want Stealth. The body that was found at the boarder was a message, that they will start killing pack members until Stealth surrendered himself. No one knew who was behind it. Roman asked around but no one claimed to know. "Oh god, this is crazy, don't they know that they are declaring war on the King?", i asked Alessia who agreed with me, "That is the thing no one claims to know what is happening or who is doing it, i guess that is why they are doing it anonymously, they are scared that it will be taken as a declaration of war to the crown". I was terrified at this point. "It's late, i have to go home, see you tomorrow", i said hugging her and leaving.

I decided to walk home, it was always easy for me to think when i walk, it was peaceful and quiet, until i felt like someone was watching me. I tried to mind link Tan but i was still blocked. I continued walking until i heard foot steps and when i turned it was Andra? where has she been all this time? Did she find her mate? There was alot i wanted to ask her but before i could she put a cloth on my mouth and nose, i struggled but there was no use, she was strong and all i could see was blurry images then it was total darkness.

"We agreed that we were not taking hostages", "I know but she is not just a hostage", "I can see that, she is silver haired human pack member", "No, she is Stealth's mate", i could hear voices but i was blind folded so i couldn't tell what was happening. Why was Andra doing this, i mean was being with Stealth that important that she had to betray Roman for it? I tried to move but my hands were tied and so were my legs. "Well well well, it appears that our guest is awake. Remove her blind fold", the man said. I didn't know him but he was a vampire, that much i could tell. "Who are you? what do you want?", i asked trying my best to remain calm. "With you? Nothing but with Stealth, i want power", he did an evil laugh that scared the crap out of me. "Andra, this is what is going to happen, you will go back to the pack and send them my way, make something up, the faster we do this the faster you will get your so called mate back", shit so that was the plan, "You better keep your end of the bargain Volder, you know what i can do to you", she threatened, "I remember partner now make this happen", Oh god i need to find a way to tell them, but how then i remembered the mind link, they didn't know i could do it.

'Tan! Tan! can you hear me love?', i have been trying for three days now and there was nothing. He still blocked me. I have tried again and again and now i no longer have the will to try anymore. I closed my eyes hoping that the darkness will finally come but i ended up seeing the bright blue eyes that i miss so much. 'Only you till the end', i heard his voice in my head and it was the best lullaby a girl could ask for, i had not slept since i got here but this was my happy place, peace and quiet with only his voice, i smiled with my eyes still closed, 'And you are mine after that'. 'Fuck! Cute face? Baby, where are you?', this dream was so real i swear. 'You sound so real, i wish i could see you right now', 'Cute face, i am real i promise please, tell me where you are Andra said she saw you in the woods, talk to me please, you are not dreaming', i felt his pain through the bond and it made me open my eyes and take a deep breath, it was not a dream? i looked around me and i was still a dark place and decided to try one last time for my sanity. 'Tan, baby are you there?', 'Yes Cute face, where are you?'. 'Did you tell Andra you can mind link me?', 'I haven's seen you for five days and that is what you are asking me?'. 'Tan am serious, did you?', 'No, i haven't, No one knows yet'. 'Good, Andra kidnapped me and brought me to this guy named Volder, he is a vampire, they want Stealth and Andra told him that am his mate, she is supposed to lead you guys to him so that he can strike a deal with you, the one that will leave Andra with you forever'. I felt anger run through my body but i knew that it was not mine, it was Tan's. 'Baby please calm down, she can't know that we have a link, ok?', there was silence and i was freaking out, this was not the time to indulge in his anger issues. 'Fine, but am killing her this time and you will not stop me', 'Ok just get me out of here please', i begged. 'Lola, hang in there, am coming for you', 'I got this', 'You know i can feel your pain right?', 'I know, i promise am ok, i feel better now that i've spoken to you, i love you', 'I love you too Cute face'. My body was giving up i closed my eyes and hoped for the best.

"Wake up!", i felt pain on my stomach and when i woke up i was being kicked over and over again. I shielded myself the way Tan taught me and was able to block some kicks, yap! some. It hurt but i had to hold on for Tan, he was coming, he was going to rescue me. A door was opened and finally i saw the light from the other side, Volder looked at me in horror and at the guard again. "Who told you to torture her?", he shouted at the guard who didn't seem to care. "Andra said she was going to die anyway, besides i tried waking her but she wasn't responding", he said like it meant nothing. "Did you try feeding her so that she has strength to respond to your demands?", that made the guard look at me again, i know i looked hideous. "We were told not to", "Fuck! that woman is going to get us all killed for this man", Volder said pulling me up. "Let's go meet your mate human", he said to me with an evil smile. I didn't bother answering i just wanted this nightmare to end.
