4: Abduction

 12 days later

 *Jonas*

 The meeting with the other alphas went okay, even if I felt they were talking a bit over my head at times. It might just be that I am still young and not an experienced Alpha, and that most of them don't really know me. At least I am trying no to read too much into it. I just really wish my father would have let me participate more. 

 But at least they want to do something about the rogues. Everyone is outraged about what they did to my father. And personally I want revenge, not that I had the biggest love for him but he was after all my dad and my Alpha. We are having another meeting next week. 

 “Damn numbers,” I mumble.

 ‘Don’t look at me, I am a wolf, I don't do math,’ Cana grins and rolls up for a nap, ignoring my struggles.

 Right now I am sitting behind my fathers desk, my desk, looking through some paper works, which I have to admit I find very boring, but if I want to prove I can do this, I will have to do the boring things too.

 So far my mother is serving as my Luna, as I don't have any and an Alpha needs a Luna. But she has told me the same as my father did before he left, that I will have to take one, a chosen mate, as I have not found a true mate. I don't really feel like it to be honest.

 It’s not that I do not like women, it just … okay this might sound weird, because I am aware that I have not really held back on that account, but it is like it kinda leaves me unfulfilled, slightly empty feeling after. I think that might be why I have been a bit of … okay a bit of a whore maybe. I am trying to find the one that makes me feel more.

 Also having always been teased for my size and heard people question if I could really be an Alpha I might have felt that I have had to prove myself worthy and Alpha-like in the only way I really could.

 “Alpha Jonas,” The door is thrown open by a young warrior. “You need to come, now … there has been a rogue attack.”

 I spring up, happy to have an excuse to leave my desk, but scared of what can have happened and worried that someone might have been hurt. Cana is fully alert again and pacing in my head.

 I follow him outside where a young girl is crying to my mother and Beta Connor. I hurry over. “What has happened ?”

 “The girls went to swim in the lake,” My mom says, and I realise there are tears on her cheeks. “The rogues attacked, and Nelia was the only one to escape.”

 “Attack ? Did they hurt them ?” My stomach knots up. What kind of monsters hurt young innocent girls ?

 Beta Conner shakes his head. “They took them, I think they let Nelia escape on purpose, to warn us.”

 “Jonas …,” My mom says with a voice brittle with emotions. “They took Kara.”

 Kara is my baby sister, she has just only recently turned 18, we are not super close, but I have always felt protective towards her.

 I look at Connor. “We need to get our best warriors and attack immediately, we …”

 “Sorry my Alpha,” The Beta’s tone sounds a bit like he is talking to a kid. “And what do you think happens to the girls if we attack ?”

 “What do you think happens if we don’t ?” I say, and a sob leaves my mom. “These men are savages …”

 I can’t stand the thoughts of what they might do to the girls, especially my sister. I feel a need to do something.

 ‘Do you know what those men might do to us ?’ Cana mumbles, but I ignore him, I am the Alpha, they are my responsibility.

 My mother grabs my hands. “Jonas you need to do something. You need to save your sister.”

 *Kara*

 “Let me go.” I pull my arm free from the big guy holding onto me. I can’t believe these nasty rogue’s have abducted me and three other girls, and I am not sure I even want to know what it is they plan to do with us.

 A man who looks almost identical to him, possibly a twin, laughs as he pulls one of the other girls along. “Trouble with a little girl Donahue ?”

 “Not at all Donavon.” He says and grabs for me, but I run forward and into a larger cave. “Come here you little bitch.”

 The man catches me, giving me a hard pull. He raises his hand and I hold up my hand, trying to protect my face from the hit I know will come.

 “Stop !” A deep voice booms. “Do not even think of that Donahua.”

 The man immediately lets me go and lowers his head.

 “Welcome girls,” The voice says. “Come here.”

 The other girls are released too and as we hesitantly step forward I see the man they call the rogue king. He is sitting on a throne, but it fails to hide that he is tall and with broad shoulders. He has the look of an Alpha and the bearings of a king.

 “What do you want with us ?” I say, staring at him. “You will pay for this.”

 He looks at me, his hazel eyes are warm and amused, to my surprise, and a smile tugs at his full lips. “An Alpha’s daughter no doubt, how lucky for us.”

 “You can’t do this … you can’t keep us here,” I complain. I know I should probably keep my mouth shut, but I can’t stop myself. My wolf Nala is growling angrily.

 “Oh but I can, don't you know I am the King ?” He gets up. “A king can do what he wants.”

 I am not sure why, but everything in me is trying to make me kneel, and my wolf is now whimpering. The other girls are all kneeling. I swallow it. “You are not my king.”

 As he steps closer I can’t stop myself from shrinking away from the power emanating from him. “Don’t be scared little girl, I am not going to hurt you.”

 “But they will hurt you … our packs, the other packs,” I try not to tremble under his gaze. “They will come for you now.”

 “No.” He laughs softly. “Cause now we have a precious shield, they won’t dare attack us.”

 I gasp, that is what we are, a living shield.
