After sitting for a while, we both put on the clothes that are normally hidden in the woods for emergencies and walked back to the pack house, no matter how hard this news got to me, there was no time to sit and sulk, I still needed to act fast in other to save my mate.
Entering the pack house, I see that Ripley is still seated in the living room with my Mother by her side, Dad seems busy talking to someone on the phone, and my brother is nowhere to be seen.
They all stare up at me as I walk in with my beta up my trail.
” Son, It is a good thing you are back,” Dad spoke.
” What is the latest?” I asked.
” I just got off the phone with the I. G the police force are doing their best to find Macy,” Dad spoke.
” Police? Did you call the police on the matter, Dad? How are they going to help, Dad this is our situation, she is my mate, and I’m not going to sit and wait around for some humans to save my mate.” I said with gritted teeth.
” Liam, you are forgetting she is human, a human who does not even know of our existence. We do not even know who has abducted her, It might be some crazy stalker or a rival or some teenage kids looking for ransom. She is a human living a normal life, and the best way to handle it is the human way.” Dad explained.
” So what we just sit and wait?”
” That we will do, but we could still send out our search parties and do our investigation on her whereabouts,”
Dad was right in some way, it might have been anyone, these humans are sometimes lazy and broke they end up abducting people like these to ask for ransom, but I don’t care, whoever it is that dared to touch what is mine will definitely pay the consequences human or not.
Ripley seemed to have regained her strength as she proceeded to help Mom in the kitchen to prepare dinner for tonight.
Derick walks in looking stressed and tired, his jaw seemed to have healed as he walked downstairs to the living room, we werewolves have super speed in healing our injuries, it is one of our gifts from the moon goddess.
He walks up to an empty cushion and takes a sit, looking at him now I could see how all this drama affected my brother, he looked like he has not eaten for days and had not slept either, I felt pity seeing him this way. The Moon Goddess has her reasons for doing this knowing it’ll hurt all three of us, I sigh as I close my eyes thinking of the good times and memories I had with my brother growing up over the years, then my mind wanders to Macy, it’s been a few weeks since I found her, but it feels like I have known her for a long time.
This short time spent with her feels like I have accomplished a lot and I feel overwhelmed by this feeling Is this how the mate bond feels or is ours just somewhat special? I ask myself. I am brought out of my thoughts by my brother’s words.
” I just spoke with Miles, he and his team are tracking the surveillance cameras in the area from her apartment to where her car was last seen,” he says those words looking at me.
I nod my head. In his words, we need all the help there is in this situation, Dad already sent some of our men to go search the area where her car was last seen and also around the city and some Underground clubs, Just in case of anything and also for some information.
My wolf has been howling in pain for its mate, his wailing, and cries were becoming hard to bear, I’m hurting too, I have had enough of his wails in my head.
” Shut up! Fucking shut up! I already have a headache, I don’t need your wailing to add to it.” I yelled at my wolf, who growls at me.
I shut him off if he is not going to help, but just wails continually in my head. I don’t need his drama right now.
Just then my phone rings, I check the caller and see no name on the ID, I curiously accept the call, and I am shocked by the voice I hear behind the phone.
” Liam…. Liam.” I heard her voice on the other side of the phone, she sounded scared, and she was crying bitterly. Her feared-filled voice broke my heart.
“Mate!” my wolf wailed as he heard her voice.
” Macy!” I exclaim out loud as I stand to my feet.
Everyone in the room stood up to my words, all attention on me.
Dad mouths for me to put the phone on speaker and do that immediately.
” Macy, where are you? Are you alright?” I ask all at once.
” Liam… ” She says, crying again and for the first time today I felt scared, not nervous but terrified.
” Where are you?” I asked again, my voice shaking.
” Please come take me out of here,” she says between sobs.
” Okay, please just tell me where you are, and I’ll be on my way, I’ll come take you away.”
I waited for her reply but heard none, the line went silent for a second, I thought it had gone off. I checked to see if it was still connected.
” Macy? Macy, are you there?” I asked, my patience running low.
I heard nothing, but then I heard a manly voice laughing hard over the phone,
” Macy, where are you? I’ll come to get you,” the first voice mockingly mimicked me.
I stared confused at the phone in my hands, everyone in the room looked confused too.
” Who are you and what do you want with her?” I asked in the nicest voice I could muster, wouldn’t want to scare them off and them up doing something bad to her.
” Oh me, well, I want so many things,” the voice spoke.
” If you want money, I have a lot of those, just name your price, anything I’ll give any amount, just don’t hurt her.” I pleaded.
That was all I could do now plead, It was so hard to believe that someone like me who is feared among the werewolf species is pleading with some fucker over the phone for the safety of my mate, but as Dad has said, we have to follow up on this situation in a human way until we know we were messing with.
” Anything uh?” the voice spoke up again, this time stronger.
” Yes, anything as long as you don’t hurt her,” I say.
The phone goes silent for a minute,
” Hello?” I say my patience running out of hand.
” So you want me to believe that you don’t recognize my voice again, Alpha Liam?” the voice speaks up.
Alpha? That means this person knows who I am.
” You know who I am, that means you know what I am capable of doing to you for this mess you just created,” I say through gritted teeth.
” I know who you are and what you are capable of doing, but right now, you’ll be doing what I want you to do if you want your mate safe in your arms and alive.”
This mysterious person even knows that she is mine.
” Who are you and how do you that she is mine?” I asked trying to get answers.
He laughs before answering my question.
” I am Henry, the same one you removed my title as Alpha of my ex-pack, and made my younger brother the new Alpha, I hope that clicks a memory in your brain. You ruined my life, Liam Torres, and now I’ll have fun doing the same to you. About your mate, maybe you should put more eyes on your people, not everyone likes you. I am giving you until 8:am tomorrow to meet me at the address that will be sent to you if you want your beautiful-looking mate back and come alone if you want her in one piece.”
The call got caught off after his words.
I stood still in my spot, as my wolf presses forward.
” Alpha Henry of the Red Hood pack!” My Beta and I say at the same time.
