Cassidy POV
Sitting on the couch with Byron I felt safe. I know Jordan was hurt but it’s not like I expected Byron to be my mate. Plus, Byron wasn’t even a bad guy, sure he was a little attached and creepy on occasion but maybe he knew I was his mate before I did? I jump at Reign and Quintin screaming again. Alpha was doing something horrible to them and I didn’t want to know what. Byron pulled me in closer to him and I rest my head on his shoulder.
“You’re safe now,” he whispers into my hair before kissing the top of my head.
“I don’t feel safe anywhere, not completely.” I whisper, I could tell Jordan was watching us from the balcony. He was so mad at Byron. I’d have to talk to him later, alone.
“Hey, you’re always safe with me. You will always be my priority, no matter what Mr high and mighty says. I just got you, no way in hell am I giving you up.”

It took Reign about two hours before she started stirring. She sat up and spotted me, smiling instantly.“Hello brother, to what do I owe the pleasure?” she crawls to the edge of the cell and reaches up to the bars, shrieking and pulling away as she touches them. I chuckle at her stupidity.“Coated in wolfsbane, might wanna be careful.” She death stares me and I move closer to the cell.“What do you want?” she growls at me.“Answers. I thought it was about time you started giving them.”“Ask away brother.”“What do you want with Cassidy?” she smiles her evil smile and I regretted starting there but it was the most important question I had for her.“You could never understand, you’re just a mere Alpha’s son.” Koray growls at her and she slides back slightly.“What’s that supposed to mean?”“You aren&rsqu
Vanessa POVShifting I let Athena run to our old spot. Jordan didn’t say really anything, just that he wanted to meet up and I was hopeful he had changed his mind but his voice sounded odd. I knew something was up with him. It took Athena half an hour to reach the lake where we used to hang out. It was like our own private lake, nobody else really came here. It was special to us and us alone. When we got closer to the rock he was sitting on Athena shifted back, allowing me to talk up to him. I tapped his should before sitting down beside him, dangling my legs over the edge.“Hey, thanks for coming, I really need your help.” He seemed weird which instantly made me nervous.“Where’s Cassidy? And why do you need my help?”“Cassidy has been kidnapped…” I stare at him a little shocked and confused.“Yay! Now he can choose us!” Athena cheers in my head and I snap at her.
Nina POVI was tied up and a hessian bag was placed over my head so I couldn’t see. The ropes were laced in wolfsbane and they burnt on contact with my fur. Burning rings around my paws. I was thankful I had locked Cassidy away, she didn’t need to see or endure this. I whined for Chase as I felt the ropes tug and I fall over. They were dragging me along the ground. Chase was laughing at me, saying how stupid I was and I felt ashamed for trusting him so blindly. The mates bond tricking me into safety.I was dragged across the dirt for about ten minutes before they finally stopped and the grazes and cuts on my body could begin to heal. I suddenly felt six lots of hands around me and I start to thrash to fight them off. They all let go and I suddenly felt a liquid being poured all over my body, wolfsbane soaked into my fur and onto my delicate skin. I howl out in pain and they just laugh at me before touching me again. I couldn’t fight t
Cassidy POVI felt myself coming back up to the veil. Nina either letting me in or letting her guard down. I start to feel the pain she was feeling and I knew something was wrong. Her eyes were closed so I couldn’t see what was going on. I tried to call out to her but she wasn’t responding which was weird. I walk up to the veil and press against it before feeling myself take control and we shift. I struggle as I realise my hands and feet are tied together like I was a hog. There was a bag over my head and I could smell wolfsbane. The ropes must have been coated in it because it was burning into my flesh.“Ah she shifted back, about time.” I hear Byron say and I growl instantly.He rips the bag off my head and I blink rapidly as my eyes adjusted to the change in light. I look around and notice we are inside the back of a van. Two people at the front and two people in the back with me. Byron was one of them. They were all w
Lani led the way through the tunnel, Vanessa was too afraid to go first for fear of cobwebs. It was so dark down here it was hard to see anything. I was thankful we were werewolves and could see in the dark because human eyes couldn’t see what we could, even though that wasn’t much. There was a small stream of water flowing we had to walk through, it was just high enough to cover half of the midsoles on my sneakers. In the five minutes we’d been walking Vanessa already screamed at two rats that ran past and Lani had found a stick, she was using it to feel in front of her before she walked.“So… Ashton is my mate,” Lani said, breaking the silence. Her voice echoed slightly.“Wait Ashton Krine?” Vanessa questions from behind me, she was clinging to me like glue.“Yeah we got together for a school project and that’s when we found out.”“Have you told Cass yet?” I ask her.&
Cassidy POVI was awoken by a hose spraying wolfsbane at me from below. I cry out in pain as it tears into my skin. Some of it getting into my throat and burning me from the inside as I instinctively swallow. I hear laughter at my pain and I open my eyes for the first time in this room. I’ve been too scared; I didn’t want them to see the fear in my eyes but I couldn’t keep my eyes closed forever. I look around and notice it’s a big concrete warehouse and I was on top of some sort of raised platform made of concrete. The room was brightly lit by heaps of industrial lamps on the roof. There wasn’t much in the room except two cars and the van I assume to have been brought here in, by the one roller door at the end of the building. From what I could tell that door was the only way in or out of here.Another burst of wolfsbane directed at my face comes from a hose below and I close my eyes as it hits me. When he shuts it off ag
Jordan POVWe followed the tyre tracks to the end of the dirt road. It led us through winding back trails through the surrounding bushland no pack had claimed. We shifted back when we reached the end of the road, unsure where to go from here as the trail had ended. It was dark out now; the sun had set about an hour ago.“So where now?” Vanessa asks, looking to me for leadership.“The tracks end here so they can’t be far… right?” Lani asks.I bend down and touch the last visible track before looking around. There was nothing but bushland here. The tracks stopped in front of some rocks so the cars couldn’t have gone any further and yet they weren’t here. I stand up and walk over to the rocks on the grass, they looked slightly out of place here as there weren’t many rocks in this area, it was mostly trees and shrubs. I notice Lani walk over to a nearby tree out of the corner of my eye. S
[HI GUYS, I just wanted to put a little trigger warning in here before the chapter begins, there will be some seriously disturbing things happen and I just wanted to put the warning here in case you guys are triggered by s*xual a**ult and or discussion of r*pe, please feel free to skip this chapter or I have placed an ‘*’ symbol before the triggering parts start so you can skip and still get some story context]Vanessa had found a spot far enough away we wouldn’t be seen or heard but we could see everything clearly. Lani had ran a lap around the area to see if there was any other way inside the warehouse but there wasn’t. I had confirmed most of the men around the bonfire were human, Byron joined them after exiting the warehouse with a sharply dressed man who smelled odd. His main scent was human but it didn’t smell real. Like it was a fake human scent. His real scent mixing in with the human mask. It was giving Koray a headache trying to separat
