“Tate?” I ask he answers instantly.
“What’s up? Where are you, you feel far away?” He asks before I feel his worry hit me.
“I think I have fucked up, is Drake awake?”
“Lana what’s going on?” Fuck! I never should have listened to my sister, I should have went home and rang mum or got Drake.
“Lana answer me” His voice booms through the link.
“I am at the border of the River Pack” I confess.
“Come back now” He bellows through the bond making me flinch.
“I can’t Arial is about to storm through looking for Chase, can you come please”
“Head back we are on our way” I go to answer when I see Arial step over the border.
“Lana, don’t you step over that border, promise me” Tate says I could feel he had shifted, feel Drake had too though, something felt different and I was shocked I didn’t notice it before, my heart skipping a beat when I realise what it was, Tate had marked Drake. Guilt hitting me that I ruined their moment.
“Lana?” Tate demands.
“Okay I will wait” I tell him before he cuts the link.
“Arial wait they are on their way” I call to her, but she doesn’t listen.
“Arial come back now, this is stupid” I tell her when she goes out of sight. I growl annoyed standing away from the border when I hear her scream.
Lana’s POV
“How far away are you?” I mind link in a panic when her scream died out, nervousness kicking in.
“Lana, don’t you dare step foot on that territory let me deal with it, they won’t hurt her” Drake mind links back. His voice in my head felt strange, unless I force the link but now, I didn’t have to since he marked Tate.
I hear fighting and my sister’s growl. When she suddenly screams my name. I run, and not even twenty metres over the border, I feel the first dart hit my leg. My agonised scream echoing off the trees as wolfsbane floods my system, Yet I don’t stop, I keep running until I smack right into her knocking us both to the ground as wolves start coming from the trees, my sister fighting a wolf I instantly recognised as Melinda before I knocked her down falling on top of her. We jump to our feet back-to-back trying to keep an eye on the wolves.
“I fucking”-
“Don’t say it Lana” My sister says when I go to tell her I told you so.
I feel another dart hit my leg before another hits my side. My blood stream feeling like it has been doused in acid. “I can’t believe mum used to drink this shit” I mutter just as a wolf lunged straight for me. I dodge it but it hits into Arial knocking her down and ripping into her shoulder. I grab its head twisting sharply before it falls limply on its side just as I am attacked again by another wolf, tearing into my thigh. I punch it missing as it starts shaking its head tearing my flesh off.
Arial grunts behind me and I know she has been hit with another dart. I see warriors amongst the trees coming from each side when suddenly I am hit in the neck with another dart before I feel three more hit me in the chest and I feel myself falling. The ground moving toward my face and I can’t hear Arial except for the soft beating of her heart.
My eyes becoming heavy as I watch Melinda shift back, she walks to my side before kicking me in the face, my head snapping back from the force. I cough blood out to stop from choking on it my face swelling instantly.
“Bet you didn’t think you would see me again bitch” She says before stomping on my hand, my scream sounded strangled from the metallic taste of my blood.
I pass out the wolfsbane in my system sucking me under.
Waking up, I find I am chained to a chair. My head felt heavy as I tried to lift it, the gag in my mouth tasted disgusting as my tongue came in contact with it. Looking around, I find myself in a lounge room. Drakes father arguing with Melinda.
“Are you nuts, I said find a way into the territory to get to Tate, not kidnap the Alpha Queens daughters” He growls at her.
“You want your son back well now he will come looking for her and bring Tate with him, then you can take over his Pack” She replies. Drakes father suddenly slaps her, her face whipping to the side as she is knocked to the ground, she massages her jaw before glaring up at him.
He raises his hand at her again and she flinches putting her hand up when her eyes dart to me watching. Drakes father turns to see what she is looking at when I notice Arial behind them also tied to a chair, though she was still passed out.
“Finally, you’re awake, good now we can have a chat” He says sitting on the sofa and facing me.
“When Drake comes for you, you will let him mark you, then you need to reject that mongrel Tate” I shake my head and trying talking around the gag. He stands up pulling the gag from my mouth.
“I am not rejecting my mate”
“No?” He says before nodding toward Melinda she gets up a cruel smile on her lips taunting me when she suddenly grabs an envelope cutter and stabs my sister in the leg. She screams jolting awake, my scream echoing hers as tears roll down my cheeks when she plunges it into her stomach as well.
“You will change your mind”
“Where is Chase?” I yell turning my gaze to him.
“Oh, he is around, couldn’t have him getting stupid ideas in his head about joining your mothers pack, seriously what are the chances of two of my sons being mated to half breeds” He shakes his head.
‘So anyway, you will do as I say, or I will kill your sister” I laugh, and he cocks his head to the side.
“You better hope my mates kill you, because if they don’t, you will die by my brothers hand which will have you begging for death” I tell him and his face drops before he growls at Melinda. She flinches back from his anger being directed at her.
“You trespassed, we have laws and out here you are fair game once you stepped on my territory without permission, your mother goes against the rules she set, the rest of the packs will turn on her”
“You would really kill your own sons mate?” I ask disgusted, that he could wish that upon his sons.
“Tate is not his mate, and this half breed be hardly a loss to Chase” He says pointing at my sister. I chuckle he was in for a shock when Drake gets here baring Tate’s mark.
“She is already marked” Melinda says and his father sniffs the air before growling.
“you let that mutt mark you?” He bellows flicking my hair over my shoulder.
I wriggle my hands trying to pull, to get a good grip on the chain so I can break it. Yet with the wolfsbane in my system I was too weak.
