Dwight left what he was doing and ran out of the study. “Tory, are you there?” he asked via mind link but there was no response. “Shit”, he said and ran out following her scent.
“Amanda, Tory”, he called when he got to the kid’s room.
“Daddy”, Austin called and he turned towards him.
“Where’s your mum?”
He pointed to the window. “Some bad guys took Amanda so she followed them.”
He looked at the window too and back to Austin. “Go to your auntie’s room”, he said and mind linked Angela. “What are you doing?”
“About to sleep”, came the reply.
“Amanda has been kidnapped by some rogues and Tory already followed them”, he said and jumped out of the window to following Tory’s scent.
“What?!” she exclaimed. “Wait, I’m coming with you.”
“No. Just take care of Austin. I’ll be back with Tory and Amanda.”
She sighed. “Be careful”, she said.
“I will”, he said and shifted as he ran further into the woods.
<Tory woke up with a grave headache as well as hunger. She hasn’t eaten for days and she was weak. The room was a little bit dark and she felt her head spinning. She tried calling out to her wolf but she felt her wolf’s presence very faintly. Her wolf was leaving her. Since her wolf took almost all the pain of the bonds breaking, it was weak. She also hasn’t hunted any animal. Even the wolfs bane was affecting her a lot.She looked around again and noticed she was no longer in the cell. Rather, she was in a room with two beds. On the second bed was a small figure which back was to her. The figure is a girl and she has the same hair color as Amanda.“Amanda”, Tory called and tried moving from her bed. But her bones are extremely weak and she couldn’t move easily. She struggled and got out of bed to move to the other bed in which the girl slept. She got to the bed and turned the girl and it was indeed her daugh
Tory seated in the cell she was placed and paced around. She wondered what they are doing to her daughter and she blames no one but herself. She shouldn’t have trusted someone she met within just 24 hours. She sighed and sat on the floor as she hugged her knees close to her chest.“Oh goddess, let Amanda be safe”, she prayed to the moon goddess.She suddenly heard footsteps and she stood up. Just few seconds later. She saw Patrick standing outside her door with a man she doesn’t recognize.“Take her”, Patrick ordered the man and the men opened the door and stepped inside.He moved closer to Tory and dragged her by the arm roughly.“Where are you taking me to?” she asked but was met with deaf ears. She shrugged to remove her arm from the man’s grasps but he was stronger than her.The man dragged her away while Patrick followed them silently. She still struggled to free
Chapter 11: the painThree years later…The pain of losing his mate still hasn’t left Dwight but he still wants to move on with his life for his son, sister and his pack members. He still mourns his wife any chance he gets but he doesn’t let it affect his activities. He changed a lot since then but they’ve all accepted that he will forever be like this.He still tries to look for Amanda. He hasn’t lost the hope of finding his daughter and he knows the moon goddess will lead him to her home one day.He recently sent Evan, his Beta out when he was given an information about some lost wolves. He had to check if Amanda was among but it was negative. He felt shattered when he was told she is not among the wolves but he didn’t stop looking for her.He was also training Austin on how to take care of himself and be a good Alpha.The door opened and Austin entered the study with a file in his hands. He is already six and he looks tall for his a
Dwight took another glass of wolf’s venom and his friends watched with keen interest. Among them all, Ryder was the one known to drink a lot of alcohol but right now, it seems they got themselves a new champion when it comes to drinking.He was about to fill his cup again when Ryder held his hand. He was already looking tipsy.“That’s enough”, Ryder said. “You might kill yourself.”Dwight chuckled and gulped. “That would be better. Better than living like this.”Maxwell sighed and packed the table. Getting rid of the drink and glasses. “You are drunk”, he said and turned to leave with the tray but Dwight held him.He had tears in his eyes as he talked. “Please. Let me drink some more.” Gulp. “That’s the only solution to my problems.” Another gulp. “That’s the only thing that understand what I am going through.” Gulp again.
Dwight woke up with a throbbing headache and he feels like vomiting. He jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to empty the contents in his stomach. He drank a lot last night and now he is facing the consequences of his action.“Ah”, he groaned as he vomited yet again. “Ugh! I hate this”, he said.“If you hate it, why did you drink so much?” he heard his sister say from outside the door. “Be fast with whatever you are doing in there and come outside to wish your son a happy birthday”, she said.He heard footsteps which means she already left and he stood up. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought about what Maxwell told him at the bar the night before. All Maxwell said is the truth. He really needs to move on and forget the past. He lost his mate but that’s not the end of the world.He sighed and took his shaving stick. “First, let’s get rid of these beards.” He said and get to work.¶¶¶Ryder and his mate, Brenda and Maxwell and his ma
9 years later…Amanda laughed again as she and Laura tied a rope across the hallway. She enjoyed doing it a lot. She will tie the rope across the hallway and make the guards trip and fall.“Are they coming?” Laura asked her.She looked and indeed saw three guards coming. “They are coming. Hide. Quick”, she said and took Laura’s hand so they could hide.They stood in a corner and waited for the guards to come closer to the rope they tied. Laura put her hand on her mouth so her laugh will not be heard. “One…two…now”, she counted.“Ahh”, the guards shouted as they tripped and fell on each other.Amanda smiled and turned to give and high five to Laura.“Who is there?” they heard a guard say.“Oops”, Amanda said. “Run!” she ordered and took the right while Laura ran through the left. She ran all the way to her mother’s room still laughing. “Serves them right”, she said and opened the door. Her mother was on the bed when she ente
Tory was pacing around and thinking of what those guys were doing to her daughter. She already looked for her even though she was feeling weak and she didn’t see her. She came back to her room now and started pacing in worry.The door opened and her eye went wide when she saw Patrick carrying her daughter in his arms. She moved closer to them.“What happened?” she asked while Patrick placed Amanda on the bed. “What happened to you?”, he asked Amanda.Amanda only cried and pulled her mother closer. “Mummy. I want to leave this place.”Patrick left the room without saying a word but he looked sad for her.Tory doesn’t know why she is crying but she cried too. “Tell me what happened. Amanda talk to me.”Amanda pulled her mother closer and cried. “Let’s go home, mummy. Where it is safe just like you said. I want to leave this place.”Tory kissed her head while crying too. “What happened? Did those guys hurt you? Tell me.”“Yes,
Chapter 14: the spoilt and the calmLuna Brenda walked into her daughter’s room and she growled in anger. Mackenzie was asleep on her bed and her room was in a mess. Clothes everywhere, make up littered all over the floor. Even her shoes and bags were all over the place.It’s true Mackenzie is a fashion freak but she is also untidy when it comes to her room. She wants the maid to always arrange her room for her but Brenda is totally against it.Brenda moved closer to her with fury and hit her open thigh really hard.“Shit”, Mackenzie shouted and jumped out of bed. “Mum! What was that for?”Brenda crossed her arms around her chest. “Do you know what time it is?” she asked.Mackenzie shrugged. “Eight?”Brenda scoffed. “It’s noon already.”Her eyes went wide. “Oh my God”, she exclaimed and stood up from her bed. “I can’t believe I woke up late. I need to be at Wendy’s place by 2. And I haven’t done my makeup yet”, she said and started pic
