Book:Caught Between Two Alphas Published:2024-5-1

When Austin finished, Ariana stood up, her legs wobbled but it was nothing serious. She smiled as she looked at him as he dressed up, she wore her clothes and wanted to leave.
“Don’t wear that dress again if you want to keep your legs” He said and she nodded, she walked to her room and lay on her bed with a smile.
“He couldn’t resist me but he’s so huge and fast” She thought as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
“Ariana wake up” Charlotte said, hitting her.
“What! When did you get here?” Ariana inquired, surprised as she stretched.
“Donald brought me here very early, I’m so hungry can you make lunch please?” She pleaded and Ariana checked the time.
“Woah, almost 2 pm, I must have slept for a very long time. Give me a few minutes” Ariana said and Charlotte left.
“She looks prettier, fatter and her belle bump was beginning to show. I’ve had unprotected sex with Austin twice, what if I get pregnant” Ariana thought with horror and excitement.
She took her bath, came out and changed into a gown, she went downstairs and saw Donald and a puppy scowling at each other.
The puppy ran to her when it saw her, she scooped the dog in her arm, smiling. “Cute puppy, who does it belong to?” Ariana demanded, Austin sighed.
“Charlotte, and be very careful with her babies, she’s attached to them” Donald whispered with a groan and Ariana laughed
“Oh my! And this parrot also belongs to her, I’ve always wanted a pet, it looks pretty” Ariana gasped, admiring the parrot who began talking and she smiled.
“I could get you a puppy, just like Charlotte’s Travis with little differences but you would have to get Austin’s consent first” Donald said and Ariana looked at Austin with sad eyes.
“Not in my house, I don’t want to see any other furry thing here or I’ll chop it into pieces” Austin announced and Donald laughed.
“He has been chased by a wild bulldog, so he hates all dogs” Donald said and Ariana laughed.
Charlotte came inside. “My baby!” She said and Ariana who thought she wanted to hug her dropped Travis and opened her arms but Charlotte hugged Travis and Ariana stared at her with shock while Donald concealed a laugh.
“Momma loves you so much, baby” Charlotte said, brushing Travis’s fur and Ariana gasped.
“She has treated them like babies and doesn’t give me attention, sometimes I think about taking these pets back to the store” Donald explained with a sad smile while Ariana just stared at Charlotte.
“Let’s go visit James, I’ve missed him a lot” Charlotte pouted and Ariana laughed then agreed they would go after having lunch.
Private eye
“Hello ma’am, the bitch and another girl just left the house alone” A guy said, he had been watching the house closely for some days.
“That’s great, tell your boys to attack, make this clean, fast and clueless. A mistake could take you back to jail” The receiver replied and hung up.
Charlotte noticed a car trailing them and wasn’t comfortable. “Can you drive faster than this please? A car has been trailing ours and I don’t like the feelings I’m having” She said and the tyres screeched.
Both girls were pushed forward violently as the car came to a halt. A car waylaid them.
“What’s wrong?” Ariana asked, removing hair from her face as she looked horrified.
“We’ve been blocked ma’am, the road is narrow. There’s a car behind us and one at the front so we’re stuck” The driver explained.
Suddenly, the door opened and they screamed when they saw a thug, holding a gun. With fear, Ariana and Charlotte held unto each other while the driver bowed his head.
“Ariana get down now!” The thug yelled, pointing his gun at Ariana who stood up sluggishly.
Charlotte yelled with fear and another thug used his gun to hit her head and she passed out. Ariana gasped as they led her to their car, got in and drove off.
The driver took Charlotte’s bag and searched for her phone. He went to her contact list, she had only two contacts so he decided to call Donald.
With shaking hands, he put the phone in his ear. Donald picked up the call. “H.. e.. el.. lo a.. Are you an.. acq.. acquaintance of Ariana?” He stuttered, his body shaking with fear.
“She has been kidnapped, I’m at Flare street, the path before the road with another lady, she’s unconscious” The driver said and hung up.
When Donald received a call from Charlotte, he groaned and didn’t want to pick up but eventually did.
“Hello… I’ll get there soon and who are you?”He demanded, did Charlotte’s phone get lost? Is she fine? He thought as his eyes widened in shock.
“Ariana has been kidnapped” He screamed in panic and Austin rushed to his side.
“What place are you at?” Donald asked and hung up, Austin’s eyes changed completely, his nails shooting out. This was his wolf coming out at its angriest time.
“I’m gonna get Charlotte” Donald said and teleported to the path, he walked for some minutes and saw the car. He knocked on the window and the scared driver opened the window slightly.
“I’m Donald” He said and the driver opened the door. He saw Charlotte, a little cut on her head and dried up blood. He threw a hundred dollars at the taxi man and carried her.
The driver gave him a look but he ignored him and began walking back and when no one was looking he teleported.
He put her on the couch and ran to get a first aid box.
He cleaned her wound and used a bandage to cover her head, she stirred and opened her eyes slowly. “Ariana!” She gasped, using her eyes to search around as she sat up.
“Calm down, Austin would find her” He assured and she lay on the bed.
Donald went to Donald’s room and saw him typing on the computer. “When was the last time Austin tried to hack any device?” Donald thought as he walked to his side.
“Any clue?” Donald questioned, putting his hand on Austin’s shoulder.
“A man had been parading the streets for a few days and now he’s nowhere to be found. He made a call when he saw Ariana get into the taxi and left, following the same path Ariana followed” Austin explained, not taking his eyes off the computer and I cursed.
“Fuck! I saw this bastard and he told me he’s an FBI assigned to trail a criminal. Can you get his pictures so I’ll run a scan?” Donald requested and Austin sent a picture to him.
Donald brought out his laptop and ran a scan. “He’s been convicted twice for murder, and attempted rape and has 15 years sentence but escaped last week” Donald read out as thoughts ran in his head.
Austin’s phone beeped and he brought it out. “I’m with Ariana come get me” Austin read out, furious. He tried to track the number but failed, he also tried Ariana’s phone but failed.
Brooklyn was in his house, having fun with a bitch when his phone beeped. “Give me a few minutes” He said, breaking free from her.
He checked his phone. “I’ve kidnapped Ariana, come get her” Was written with a picture of Ariana, lying on the floor.
He panicked. “Here, you can leave” He mumbled, throwing some money beside the girl who frowned and then left angrily.
He wore his clothes hurriedly and teleported to Austin’s room. “Ariana has been kidnapped” Brooklyn announced.
“I know already” Austin cut off coldly.
“What! You knew yet you couldn’t inform me” Brooklyn accused.
“Why would I? What is your deal with her? She’s my maid, not yours” Austin answered angrily.
“She’s my friend, I care about her” Brooklyn replied.
“Enough, let’s find her first then arguments can come later” Donald cautioned and they stopped growling at each other.
“Dude you put chips in all the clothes and accessories coming inside this house, try using that to track her” Donald suggested.
“I didn’t put trackers on her clothes” Austin let out.
“Who would kidnap her and what does that bastard want?” Brooklyn questioned, pacing.
“It’s best if you leave, it was better when you weren’t here” Austin said with a sneer and Brooklyn growled.
“I think I’ve found her phone” Austin announced and they all paid rapid attention. Brooklyn saw the location and teleported there immediately, he was shocked to see her phone on the dusty road, he looked around as he picked up the phone, and there were no houses around.
He teleported and saw Austin, ready to leave the house. “Don’t waste your time, her phone was dropped at the roadside. Donald you can check before memories, can’t you check Charlotte’s for any clues?” Brooklyn suggested, freaking out that time was ticking and they weren’t close to finding her.
“I’ll give it a try” Donald muttered and they all walked to Charlotte’s room. She lay on the bed, crying softly.
“Charlotte, I need to check a few things, just stay still and look at my eye” Donald instructed and she nodded. He held her hand and looked into her eyes.
Images of when they left the house began flashing in her eyes, he saw the man trailing them and memorised the taxi plate number. He was the way they were attacked and removed his hand when her head was hit with a gun.
Charlotte panted, it felt like someone was digging up her memories as she felt a strange movement in her head.
“Thanks, I’ll come to check up on you later” Donald said and the trio left.
“Something is fishy” Charlotte thought.
“The first taxi number is AH842B while the second is a black Mercedes-Benz, with tinted windows, I couldn’t see the plate number” Donald declared and Austin ran his hands in his hair.
He felt too weak and frustrated, he paced around, thinking of an idea. ”Why can’t you use her cloth to track her?” Brooklyn inquired.
“I tried okay! I fucking tried but the smell wasn’t powerful enough to lead me to her” He yelled with anger and his phone beeped.
”It’s a message from those bastards. Can’t think of what I’ll use her for or do to her. Stop trying to find us” Brooklyn read out, and showed the pictures of Ariana attached to it.
Austin’s heart sank, he couldn’t imagine how she would be feeling and what they were doing to her. ”Those bastards would never get away with this” Austin vowed, clenching his fist.
“Where could they be at?” Donald thought, stroking his jaws.
“Fuck! Why would you let Ariana go out alone? I said that you’d hurt her at the end” Brooklyn said heatedly.
“Excuse me! Was I supposed to trail my maid the whole day or was I supposed to deny her freedom. My bad, since you’re so perfect, why couldn’t you volunteer to be her guard?” Austin sneered.
“Freedom my ass, you exposed her to lots of harm, giving people the wrong impression about you guys being together and now rather than protect her, you let her go out freely when she has lots of haters out there” Brooklyn retorted.
“Why are you so concerned? You feel something for her? Never have I seen you so stressed because of a girl” Austin mumbled, concealing a growl.
“Yes I’m in love with her and I won’t let her end up like Nicole, you’d better find her soon” Brooklyn threatened.
The realisation that his twin loves his maid, punched his heart hard, he knew he also likes her but is afraid to conclude it as love.
“What did you say?” Austin demanded, holding Brooklyn’s collar.
“I love her and would do anything to make sure she doesn’t end like Nicole or with you” Brooklyn retorted and Austin punched him.
“You bastard, never say that to me” Austin yelled, punching Brooklyn’s face countless times, Donald tried to separate the fight as Brooklyn was making a fireball.
“Guys, let’s work together and find her rather than fight aimlessly” Donald scolded as he separated them.
“You can’t control her life. She’s your maid, not your mate” Brooklyn was reminded and Austin’s phone rang.
He received a call from the shaman, they were all gathered for the ritual but couldn’t find Austin. “I’ll be right there” Austin said and hung up.
”Where the fuck are you going to?” Brooklyn demanded with a huff.
“I have to go meet the court members” Austin said to Donald who nodded, while Brooklyn looked at him with horror.
”You’re leaving while she’s in danger!?” Brooklyn scolded but Austin ignored him and walked to his car.
Austin drove to the forest where everyone was fuming. “Why are you late?” Harry demanded as they went into the forest.
Brooklyn had followed Austin whose thoughts were on Ariana as he drove. “Today we would know the demon” Brooklyn thought as he saw Dracula.
They followed the shaman, floating in the air. The shaman got to a secluded sea, muttered some words and began some rites. He added a dark liquid to the water, turning the water red and he began some incantations, using his staff to stir the water.
“Would I scent the demon or see her?” Austin whispered to Harry.
“Any one of the two, your mission is just to get the demon” Carlos snapped and Austin frowned.
“Sorry I forgot” Austin said sarcastically and Carlos growled.
“You’re so incompetent and not fit” Carlos muttered and Austin smiled at him coldly.
“Why would you forget something as important as this? I’m beginning to believe that woman” Carlos yelled, the shaman threw a look at them as he took the spellbook.
He instructed Austin to look at the river. ”Its face would appear once and for 20 seconds, it’s up to you to recognize the demon” The shaman explained, that today he was dressed in full regalia.
Brooklyn and Dracula stared at the river. “Wait for it, after that old thing reads the spell, there would be a bright light from the river then we would see her face” Dracula explained, enjoying the whole thing.
The shaman began reading the spell and suddenly a scent wafted into Jayden’s nostrils. “Did you smell that?” He asked, sniffing and they stared at him.
A force pushed him and he pushed them aside and began going after the scent. “Let him be it’s his mate” Harry said, shaking his head as they were about to go after him.
“You go, I’ll stay here” Dracula said and Brooklyn ran after Austin immediately. He had a hard time keeping up with Austin who moved very fast.
“Their bond must be very strong” Brooklyn thought as he saw his brother enter a deserted house.
