Adam POV Having left Stan’s room, Sam and I meet up with Jack and head to my office. As we enter the Pack house, Jenna’s father is waiting in the lobby for me. “I may have someone we can talk with,” he says as he follows us to my office. “Get them here now,” I reply to him. “It is not that easy, Adam; they know there is bad blood between the witches and the Red Pine Pack,” he shares. “I do not care about any of that. My mate is missing, get someone here as soon as possible!” I yell at him. I cannot stand any more of this nonsense. This is not about supernatural politics; this was about my missing mate. Nothing else matters but getting her back. “I will do what I can,” he replies before leaving the room. Looking to Sam and Jack I see their sympathy. I do not want their sympathy. I do not want anyone’s sympathy. I want my mate. “Stop looking at me like that; we will find her,” I say to both of them. “We will find her, Adam; we just nee

Adam POV It had been a fucking week since Jenna had been taken. We had gotten very little from Tim, even with the torture Sam had been administering. I was just entering the dungeon area, we had moved Tim from his holding cell midweek, when Tim suddenly screamed in agony. It was from nothing Sam had done to him. Looking at Sam I am confused with what I am seeing. Sam moves toward Tim pulling him to stand back up, when Tim doubles over once again in pain. “What the hell is going on?” I ask Sam. “The only time I have seen something like that is when a fated mate dies,” he replies. Looking at Tim, I move closer to him, “Is that what is happening, Tim? The tether is snapping from your bond?” I taunt him. Now he would have a sense of what it was like to lose your mate. Jenna was not dead, but it felt like death to me with her missing. “It is not possible. He promised we would have a life, if we did what he asked,” Tim replies gasping for air

Eric POV I felt rage overcome my body. I grabbed Jenna off the bed and tossed her against the wall. I knew she was not one hundred percent yet but her defeatist comment enraged me. I saw her small body slam against the wall and slide down to the ground. I felt some of the rage dissipate as I watched her crumpled body hit the floor. It took a moment before she moved. I felt a breath leave my body as I had feared I had killed her. She was my only hope to solve this problem. I had to rely on Jenna to save her. She was all that mattered to me. I slowly moved across the floor towards Jenna as she scrambled away from me backwards. I did not want her to be afraid of me, but she had to know what the cost was if she was not successful. I would not let her live. I could not have my secrets revealed and sadly she would have too much power. I would attempt to mark her once the healing was complete. She was beautiful and I could easily fall for her, if given

Adam POV As soon as I got back from the hospital, I called Sam and Jack to my office. I told them what I had found when I had seen Doctor Matthews. They agreed his response was a little too convenient. There is no way Jenna’s scent would linger to the level I had smelled it on him. He certainly would not have gotten it from a lab coat that had been in her locker for days. Something was not right with the doctor, and I would find out what it was. We had been watching the doctor for two days now. Two days longer that Jenna is missing. That Jenna could be being abused or used for her healing powers. There was nothing that the doctor did that changed his schedule. He worked long hours at the hospital. Then he went home. That was it. There were no other deviations from where he went. While he was at the hospital, we searched around his home. There were no scents of Jenna coming from the house. Jack had even gone a little rogue on us and e

Adam POV As I catch Jenna, I fall with her. Her face is covered in blood. There is not a space that is clear. Blood is running from her eyes, nose, ears, and a small line of blood has started from her mouth. I squeeze her to me trying to give her my strength. I feel tears well up in my eyes. I fear we are too late. I pull her gently into my arms, standing as I do so. I need to get her back to our Pack hospital. I will need to come clean with Doctor Rivers and pray to the Moon Goddess he will know how to help Jenna. I look at my warriors surrounding Doctor Matthews. “Do not kill him; I want him alive!” I yell at them as I run out the door with Jenna. I need to get her help immediately. I trust my warriors and Sam and Jack. They will ensure we have an opportunity to question the Rogue King. And more importantly that we have the chance to torture him as he tortured my mate. Using my wolf speed, I run up the stairs and out the side door
