*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*MY HEART WAS pounding and blood rushed in my ears. I gripped Lydia and held her close. I watched Elsa's father take a step forward. Cedric growled and snapped, shielding us with his body.Elsa's father chuckled and stepped back. He signaled to his men with his fingers. "Grab her."5 wolves advanced. Cedric growled and nipped at one of them. They were surrounding us and he could not take them alone. So he released a long howl to alert and call for help before jumping on one of the nearest wolves. He took down one and two but soon, he was overwhelmed. I heard the painful whine of his wolf as I was grabbed roughly and dragged away. I tried to turn to see what was happening behind me, but the men held me tightly.I squirmed underneath their grip. Elsa's father laughed. "Such a pathetic wolf. And to think that you are a Luna is disgusting." he spat on the sand beside my feet.I held on to Lydia. I did not want her to be separated from me. Who knew what they would do to
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*KINCAID WAS GETTING more frustrated by the hour. He loosened the first two buttons of his shirt and held his hand out the window as they drove through the woods.The first 4 tribes where he had spent the past days were fruitless. Adrienne was not in any of them."Are we still far away?" One of the young warriors asked.Kincaid shook his head. He felt for them. The bright light that shone in their eyes days before had dimmed out and gave way to the tiredness and little sleep. He scratched his chin. His stubble poked at his fingers. He had an unsettling feeling in his stomach as they drove through. Suddenly he lurched forward like his heart was threatening to tear out from his rib cage. He stamped on the brakes and screeched to a stop.Liam looked at him with a concerned gaze. "What is it?" He asked.Kincaid shook his head. "It's nothing." He muttered."The fuck it's nothing," Liam snapped. "You look like you're about to die."Kincaid turned slightly. The warriors wer
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*THE DRIVE BACK to the pack was a quiet and solemn one. Thorr assured me that he would arrange for his tribe and join us in the main territory as soon as possible. "We should call the other tribes too," Liam said as their car bounced on the uneven road. "We have enough space for all of them to love comfortably... and separately if they like.""That's the thing," Kincaid said under his breath. He was gripping the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were white and bloodless. "How had they known the exact tribe that Adrienne was?" He asked. "We had searched the whole tribes 2 weeks ago without any progress, and she was just a few miles away from us." He closed his eyes, trying to dull his pain. "If only your stubborn ass had allowed me to find our mate by myself" Caer snarled in his head."We had lived a few miles away from her and we couldn’t find her," Kincaid continued. "But suddenly these outsiders attack and they go to the exact tribe that she was in. What ar
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*"YOU KNOW YOU'VE been very foolish," Caer said. Kincaid sighed and walked out of the house with only cargo trousers. He walked out to the back and to the tree line. He needed a run to clear his head. When he was well into the woods, he stepped out of his trousers and shifted.Caer broke into a quick run along the pathway in the woods. He ran at top speed for close to thirty minutes before he slowed down near a lake. The evening sun shone and glistened in the water, giving it a glassy look. He waddled into the water and swam for a while, cooling off his body temperature before stepping out and lying down on the banks of the water. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate. The breeze carried the faint singing of birds in the far distance. He tuned out the sounds of birds and the sound of the breeze. He tuned out the feelings and emotions that the pack mindlink carried. They were worried about the situation of their Luna. Which was all his fault. If only he had give
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*IT FELT LIKE my situation was getting worse by the hour. I still had not seen my brother, maybe he didn't know I was even here. Neither had I gotten word about Lydia.On a brighter note, I wasn't chained. So j spent most of my time lying down flat against the floor where the most breathable air was. Staying upright would just have me keep inhaling the wolfsbane that burnt my lungs.Why do I have to suffer this way? I would constantly ask myself.Why was I cursed with this bloodwolf nonsense?The gates opened and Kaytlin walked in, followed by Alpha Charles and Jermaine. I looked at them. Sheer hatred radiated from my gaze."As you can see, sirs," Katlyn said. "We have her very calm. She does not have a choice or risk exertion as that would make her pant and breathe in more wolfsbane.""Isn't the wolfsbane going to kill her?" Charles asked. They all held a large wet handkerchief
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*A FEW HOURS ago...He paced the room in agitation. "You trust I'll make the right decision," he muttered under his breath. "How good is that going to do to me?" He walked the length of the room. He took the bottle of scotch that sat on his table and took a long swig of it. He walked to the window and looked out."THE full moon was tonight," He said to himself. "I have to wait until it is over, i can't afford to make any more stupid decisions."He looked at the sky. "I don't know what to do," He groaned. And now Lucy has disappeared again. She kept making it harder to even defend her. Sometimes he wondered why even tried to, but the truth was that he pitied her. He knew what she had been through in her life - Her father had chosen her mother out of fear of growing old alone. After they got married, he started abusing the family. Eventually, Lucy ran away from her pack at the age of 9 and stumbled into the High Moon pack where alpha Ezra took her in. He knew if he did
*KINCAID'S P.O.V*With each step, pain radiated through his whole body, making him grit his teeth but he did not slow down. He could hear the shouts behind him as the guards chased him down. He was running at a slower pace because Adrienne had gone limp in his arms again.She had woken up briefly and muttered his name like she could not believe it then she had gone unconscious again.He would not have liked anything better than to drop Adrienne carefully and face the oncoming wolves head-on. He wanted to tear them to pieces, but Adrienne required more instant attention, so his primary focus was to get her back to his pack as soon as possible.After running for 30 minutes, he could not hear the people chasing him anymore. He smirked, even with carrying his mate and with a broken shoulder, they could not catch up.Now that he was not bothered about being caught, he looked down at the lady in his arms. How could I be so foolish to treat her as I have? I wondered looking at her pale feat
*ADRIENNE'S P.O.V*My consciousness came back to me slowly. It was like I was in a small boat in the middle of a large rough sea. The sounds from my surroundings floated away and came back louder.I slowly became aware of my body. I could feel my fingers and toes, I was lying on a bed. A bed... the last thing I remembered was the poison in the air and Katlyns grinning eyes behind the mask as she pumped the cell full of wolfsbane. I had collapsed on the floor but now, I pressed my fingers down slightly to confirm. Yep, I was on a bed now.How could that be?I allowed myself to be taken by the fatigue again.When I woke up, my memory was a bit clearer and I remembered seeing Kincaid's face. I had thought it was a dream but now that I think of it, it wasn't a dream and it had really happened. He had come to rescue me. I opened my eyes slowly and my vision focused on the ceiling. I took in a deep breath, and the air was familiar. I was back in Scotland. I looked around and struggled t
