Begging to see her

Logan POV

“It’s clear that Maya has been kidnapped”

Marcus words hit me like a punch in the gut and I felt a wave of emotions rush through me. First panic, and then anger.

With a growl, I turned and smashed my fist into the wall, leaving a huge hole.

“Find her”

I snarled, barely recognizing my own voice. “Find her now”

Marcus nodded and rushed out of the room, already barking orders at the guards who immediately went into action. I stood there, my chest heaving with anger as my mind raced with possible scenarios. Lucas would pay for this. Oh, he would pay dearly.

I took a deep breath, forcing my wolf back under control. I had to think clearly. I couldn’t let my emotions cloud my judgment, not now when Maya’s life was at stake.

“Alpha”

Marcus voice brought me back to reality and I turned to face him, my eyes narrowing.

“What did you find?”

I asked, still trying to keep my anger in check.

Marcus expression was grim. “The guards have searched the entire castle, but they’ve found nothing. No signs of Lucas or Maya”

He revealed and I clenched my fist, feeling my anger and frustration build up again.

I thought of all possible places Lucas could have taken Maya and suddenly, a memory surfaced. A hidden cabin in the woods, one that Lucas and I used to sneak off to when we were younger.

“Marcus”

I called, my voice firm.

“Get the men together. We’re going to search the woods”

I announced and Marcus nodded before rushing off to gather the men. I took a deep breath as the thought of Lucas harming Maya filled my mind, sending a shiver down my spine.

What if we were too late? What if Lucas had already hurt her?

I clenched my jaw, pushing the thoughts away. No, he wouldn’t dare touch her.

After assembling my men, we went into the woods, moving swiftly and silently through the trees. And with every step we took, I could feel my anxiety growing.

As we approached the cabin, I motioned for my men to fan out and surround it. The cabin was too quiet, too quiet and I narrowed my mind.

Lucas was a dangerous man and also a very cautious person. All his plans were carefully planned out and this, was no exception.

This was too easy.

Lucas wouldn’t go down without a fight, he would have a backup plan, and possibly even traps set up to take us down.

I signaled to my men to be extra cautious as we went forward, our eyes scanning the quiet surrounding.

As we got closer to the cabin, I sniffed the air, trying to pick up any scent and to my relief I caught Maya’s scent. It was faint but it was definitely her. But then I caught another scent and my eyes narrowed.

Lucas’s scent.

We approached the cabin door and pushing the door open, was greeted with nothing but darkness. It was empty.

My eyes scanned the space for any sign of Maya or Lucas but there was nothing. Just an empty, dark cabin.

I frowned, my mind racing with many possible scenarios. Where was Maya? Had Lucas move her already?

I signaled to Marcus to search the cabin, to see if he could find any clues and as he moved around, I noticed a small piece of fabric caught on the door. I walked over to it and with one look at the fabric, I could tell it came from Maya’s clothing. I clenched my fists beside me, feeling my anger and frustration growing.

Was I too late?

I sniffed the air again and the scent of Maya filled the entire Cabin. She was here, she was definitely here, now where the hell had he taken her to?

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, anger coursing through my veins.

As I scanned the cabin more closely, my eyes landed on something that made my heart sank. Droplets of blood on the floor.

I walked over to the bloodstains and examining them, I could tell it belonged to Maya. My anger and worry intensified as I realized Maya must have been hurt while she was here.

I could see that the bloodstains were dried which meant she just had been injured some time ago. How badly was she hurt? And where the hell had Lucas taken her to?

Just as I opened my mouth to speak, I heard some faint noise coming from outside. It sounded like footsteps, moving quickly towards us and I stood up from the floor, going on high alert.

I could tell Marcus also heard the noise as he stopped searching and stood still, signaling my men to do same.

The footsteps grew louder and I positioned myself near the door, my eyes fixed on the entrance.

The footsteps stopped right outside and for a moment there was silence. Then, the door creaked open and a figure stepped inside.

I snarled and immediately pounced on the figure, but as the figure came into light, I realized it wasn’t Lucas. It was one of his pack members.

“Where’s Lucas?”

I growled, my hands wrapped tightly around the pack member’s throat.

“I…I don’t know”

He stammered and I growled, my grip on his neck tightening.

“Don’t lie to me. Where’s Lucas”

I repeated, my eyes blazing with fury.

“Looks like you’re having a rough day, Logan”

A voice boomed from outside and turning towards the direction of the voice, my eyes was met with Lucas’s smirking face.

“Lucas”

I snarled, snapping the neck of the pack member and his body fell with a thud.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve showing your face here”

I growled, my voice low and dangerous.

Lucas chuckled, taking a step closer to the cabin.

“I’m just getting started Logan, you’re beginning to underestimate me “

“Where’s she? Where’s Maya?”

I growled but Lucas’s smile only grew wider.

“Oh Maya? She’s safe, for now”

He muttered, his voice filled with sarcasm.

“In fact, you’ll be begging to see her very soon”
