My head hurts as if it has been hammered badly. My entire body felt paralyzed. I tried to move my hands but failed as they wouldn't rise up. I heard noises around me. Noises of Milan's weeping as the very statement uttered in that dreadful voice replayed in my head, fresh and clear.
"Come on, let's go. We wanted the beta's daughter, so we got her. Let this whore die here."
Suddenly I realized what had happened to me and Milan, and I shot open my eyes, panting heavily. "Dad???" I looked at my side only to find my father sitting there with a pallid face.
"Reyne?" He sniffed as though he was trying not to cry and the next moment he pulled me in his arms, and burst into a shit of tears. "Reyne, my daughter! Are you... Are you okay? Does that hurt."
I couldn't breathe because of his hard hug. I battled in order to resist his bone crushing hug until he left me, and then let out a deep sigh feelin
43Zander's POVSomebody behead me!!!That was the only statement which I have been muttering in my mouth ever since I left my house."Zane, you want an ice cream cone too?" Clarke was taking everyone's order as we sat in a cozy 'only for adults' restobar.I was already pumped up in terms of aggression and his inquiry only fueled it more, "Fuck your asshole with the same ice cream cone." I said between my grinding teeth while he shockingly stared at me being surprised by my outburst."What the bloody hell...." He was surprised. "You go fuck your plastic bitch rather!" He snapped back at me and moved further with Yeoman to get everyone's order.I don't know why but I felt frustrated. I didn't want to come to this day out with my friends. They forcibly dragged me here. Not only that, they were also forcing me to eat when I barely felt any appetite.
44He was shaken to the core! His eyes watered as Zander recklessly halted his car and came out of it in a hurry. His heart palpitated, moving up and down while the thought of his little sister trembled him."Mom!!!" With a loud push of his shoulder, he opened the door and entered inside Ryley's house as it was there where everyone was gathered.He looked at the faces of the alpha, a strange face he didn't have to guess has to be the new member of the pack, Mr. Hari Stark, the Gamma, and eventually stopped his eyes on his father's. "Dad, Milan?" He could not control his emotions.They sat fresh on his cheeks, his lips moving in sheer dread as he impatiently stared at his father's face. He was so focused on him that he nearly failed to notice the sweet fragrance he had smelled twice earlier! The smell that belonged to his mate.'Zane, she is here! Zane, our mate. She is
45His muscles tightened and eyes fixated with her face. She seemed equally petrified. However, the terror staying crimson on her cheeks along with sweat beads shone more as her eyes just stayed stilled. In between the daze crossing his facade, Zander frowned a little because her head was gauzed with a bandaged around her forehead.Zander could not decide whether she was alive or a mannequin. Even her breaths have stuck in her breaths and she refrained herself from making any move. He didn't divert his gaze from her eyes yet he can see her lips has started breaking the frozen spell she was bound into.He noticed nothing but her dark dark blue irises, staring at him without a blink from behind a layer of tears lingering over her lower lashes."Reyne," Wendy pushed Zander aside and came to face her.She furiously grabbed Reyne by the collarless fabric of her top and yanked unti
46He saw the tears swimming in her eyes and no matter how much he hated, he cared for them. Her reddened eyes and flushed face made him hiss in vex. They made him feel miserable not because she was that frustrating mate of his who left no chance to piss him off, but because she acted as if she was to blame.Indeed it was her who got his sister abducted yet Zander could not hold her wrong.How can he accuse her when they knew a threat was lingering around for the cubs of the pack? Yeah, they had to be the abductors from the same kidnapping troop who kidnapped several dozens of cubs from the neighbouring packs for trafficking and smuggling. And in their pack, they targeted the beta's daughter which was unfortunately the first kidnapping from their pack.They knew they were coming but didn't know that they would initiate it with the beta's daughter!The biggest foul move
47Zander's POVWe were sitting in the conference room in alpha's house. He had exclusively made this conference room for important discussions like this. Just in case if we could not make it to the official headquarters of our pack in serious time like this, we used the discussion room in his house. And at the moment, we were doing just the same.There were alpha, beta and Gamma males along with their sons, those are me, Ryley and Brandon, and that girl's name (who is also my mate) father, Hari Stark. We had the projector flashing at the white screen before us while we sat in the chair before the oval shaped table, looking at the CCTV playing."So this was here where they got Reyne. Bloody hell, I will fuck their balls if I found them. Just look at how have he blocked Reyne in his arms!" Ryley hissed but it was me that was feeling the fire of frustration and jealousy burning my heart.I
48"Come on Zander, stop it now. There is nothing in there!" Zander let out a frustrated chuckle and ignored that exclamation.He headed further, deeper and deeper in the woods, and tried to notice every possible head that could lead to his sister's abductors."I told you Shine, you can go back if you want. You don't have to follow me all the way to hell and get frustrated over nothing." He replied, his hands slapping away the leaves and branches blocking his front.His egoistic reply offended Ryley. He let out a grumble and pulled Zander by the back of his collar." What the fuck is wrong with you, Shine? " Zander roared angrily."I want to ask the same. What the fuck is wrong with you, Zander Brown? Why are you acting so weird and strange? What has gotten into you?" He asked all at once.Zander was back to being rude and aggressive like how he had been earlier with
49Being tired and awfully exhausted, Zander and Ryley applied brakes to their legs and stopped. They bent forward and rested their hands on the knees and breathed deeply. There was a thick layer of sweat forming on their faces as their lips quivered during breathing."Should we go back?" Ryley suggested more than asking that."Not now." a quick reply erupted from Zander's mouth as fear knitted along his words vibrated from his mouth. "I have promised mom I won't return without Milan."The two guys raised their glances from the dark ground and gawked at each other under darkness. The sun has disappeared and darkness has taken over. The leaves stayed silent from rustling and the winds silenced. No other sound than their deep respiration echoed in the atmosphere.Ryley shook his head in interpretation. He honestly did not want to leave but the place they were in was fatal for the both of t
50He froze like a leaf on a wintery night. His veins numbed and mind stopped working as everything revolved only and only around Milan.But wait, did he just hear what he really heard?Did he say something about ending up like his sister? Like what?His lashes widened again, heart pumped blood with double force as his veins that were numb started popping out of his skin as blood rushed through them vigorously. Zander pushed aside all the thoughts and focused back on what laid before his eyes."Do you get it?" the long haired villainous man asked, his voice oozing fear and warning.The cubs sitting there stuck together on the floor, bobbed their heads in agreement, looking at his face with dread. The expressions seemed so scary and helpless that Zander urged to go and release them from it. He desired to beat the long haired bitch to death or until his half of the bones wer
