Finally heading back to their pack ... and maybe a marking soon? Ellie xo
Amelie POVTears are streaming down my cheeks. “What do you want?” I scream trying to make sense of what was happening. Matt was slumped over and not moving. I knew he was not dead, as I could still feel our bond. However, it was not as strong as it once was. If I did not think quickly, I would lose him.The twin looks at me like he is struggling. As a mate his natural inclination would be to help his fated mate. But he is struggling internally with his own goals and that of his fated nature. “I am sorry this could not have been easier,” he says as he pulls me away from Matt.I glance back and see Matt’s head bob up, but the strength it took to do so took a toll. He quickly dropped his head, and I heard him whisper, “I am sorry.”. Do not give up, I say through our mind-link. I know he cannot hear me, but it helps me feel like I am able to speak to him. I cannot draw any more attention to him. He cannot take any more.We stop near Rosie. She is released and she rubs her w
Amelie POVI am dragged from Matt as I hear him growl at the aggressive nature of the man. The man stops about ten feet from Matt and tries to drag me into his arms. I kick and scream fighting him with all my strength.“Now mate, I am sure this is not how you greeted Matt,” he says to me. I ignore his comments continuing to struggle in the arms of this stranger. “Calm down, we have time to get to know each other,” he says as he releases me.I fall to the ground and look up at him. I cannot get over how he is identical to Matt in looks. Clearly not in personality but in looks for sure. “Can you not see my brother is not long for this world?” he taunts me.I look to Matt who is struggling to pay attention to what is happening around him. My heart is breaking but I need him to hold on long enough for help to arrive. “What do you want?” I ask of the twin. “Well of course I want you,” he starts to say when I cut him off. “You cannot have me. What is your name?” I demand thinkin
Amelie POVI could not contain myself. I was shaking at the thoughts of what was happening to Matt. I could feel his pain through our bond. Please hold on, Matt I think to myself as I think the worst and hope for the best.As we cross the fork in the road my phone rings. Clearly this man has us being watched. That means he knows we have warriors with us. That means he is still one step ahead of us. “Hello?” I answer putting him on speaker phone immediately.“It is time to say goodbye to my future in-laws and that Beta of yours,” he says. We look at one another, all of us thinking what about Rosie? “Bring Rosie with you,” he adds as my heart sinks. I had hoped we would have an ace up our sleeve but that does not seem to be the case.“No, I will come alone,” I reply. “You come alone little mate, and there will be no Matt for you to say goodbye to. He is in bad shape at the moment, but once you arrive, he will get a reprieve,” he says cruelly. I feel tears well up in my eyes
Amelie POV“Who is this?” I demand. “Do not play games, or my brother will not live past the next hour,” the man replies as I hear a scream of pain in the background. I recognize Matt’s voice and feel the fear roll over me. I will not survive if anything happens to him.“What do you want?” I ask. “I want you to meet me within the next hour,” he replies. “Where?” I ask looking at everyone who is waiting expectantly to get the address. “Continue on the road you are on. You will come to a fork in the road, stay to the right and you will come directly to us,” he offers.“And then what?” I ask. “And then we meet,” he replies before hanging up the phone. I stare at my phone for moments as I try to maintain my composure. Knowing Matt is being tortured is killing me and I want to get to him as quickly as possible.Colby steps forward, “Before we take off down the road we need a plan,” he says. “The plan is to get our asses in the vehicle and go rescue Matt,” I say as I try to walk
Rosie POVWhile the car had been rolling down the ravine the windows were breaking, the metal was crunching, and I could not stop screaming. As we rolled over for what felt like a millionth time my seat belt let go and I was ejected from the vehicle. I was tossed twenty feet away and landed hard. I rolled over curling into myself momentarily stunned and not moving.As I started to come to my senses, I could hear men yelling. It sounded close but as I slowly turned my head, afraid to move too quickly, I could see the vehicle in the distance. It was on its roof and was crushed all over. It did not seem possible that anyone would have survived the accident.I felt panic rise inside me as I watched in slow motion as everything happen in front of me. Not moving meant I was not noticed, and I did not want to be noticed. As I watch, my breath catches. Matt is outside of the vehicle and yelling to someone inside. Did I hit my head? Why would Matt be yelling to someone inside the ve
Amelie POVI sat in the back seat seething with anger. Anger at Matt. Anger at Blake and anger at Rosie. Had she known all along and said nothing to me? I thought we were best friends. How could she lie to me knowing what was at stake? It was eating away at me, and I had to know.“Did she know?” I whisper. At first nobody says anything. Blake has his eyes on the road while Colby and Kate stare at me. “What?” I ask feeling self-conscious. “Your voice,” Kate starts to say when I cut her off, “I know, it sucks and I should not use it, but I cannot not use it,” I exclaim angrily.“Amelie, listen to yourself,” Colby says calmly. I look at them both as they cause me to pause. I try to speak again. It is weak, but it is stronger than a whisper. “Amelie, the scar on your face is starting to fade. It is not as stark as it was earlier,” Kate says in awe. “What?” I ask looking in the rear-view mirror.I feel the scar and can feel it is not as deep or red as it once was. “What is
