He brought out a phone and dialed a number, the room went quiet with only my sobs being heard, the phone rang a few times before it connected.
The call was put on speaker, and I finally heard his voice, It felt like I hadn’t spoken to him in ages, I was a crying mess right now.
The urgency in his voice made it clear how scared he was, and I know my disappearance must have caused him and Derick to worry.
We could not talk for long as it was cut short by this insane man.
Judging by his words to Liam, I think they have a history together, I try to understand some of his words, but it was confusing.
Alpha Liam? Pack? What on earth are they talking about and why the hell am I being involved in this mess?
Henry looked at me with anger in his eyes, thanks to him, I now know his name after he introduced himself to Liam just now on the phone.
” I will make sure that mate of yours suffers in intense pain, he will have to watch you die and go through the same pain he made me go through,” he says through gritted teeth.
” Please, I don’t even know what you are talking about, I have not done anything wrong to you, please let me go.” I pled as I sobbed continuously.
I was frightened by his words, I don’t want to die, at least not like this. Not only that, but I cried bitterly, I fell to the ground holding his left leg while begging for my dear life.
” Please sir, please don’t kill me.”
Henry kicked me off his leg, making me fall to the ground on my face. He grabbed me by my hair as he raised me, his grip was so tight I thought my hair was going to rip off from its root.
” You don’t want to die, uh? Well, it is not up to you to decide what happens in your life now, do you understand?” he yells at me.
” I said do you understand, you slut!” he screamed at me.
I nod my head at his words, too weak and in pain to say a word. He let go of me with full force, making my head collide with the hard surface of the floor.
He walks out of the room with his other guy behind him, leaving me all alone on the ground. I felt a liquid substance trickle down my head to my face, then I realized I was bleeding.
I slowly stood up and sat on the tiny bed provided for me, I touched my head to find out where I was bleeding from, due to the strong impact of how he hit my head, the side of my forehead is now open, and bleeding profusely.
To stop myself from bleeding to death, I had to tear apart my shirt and use it as an improvised bandage to stop the blood. After a few minutes, I stopped bleeding, my head hurts like a bitch.
I bring my knees to my chest as tears run down my cheek, what have I done to deserve this, who on earth did I offend, or maybe In my past life, I committed an unforgivable crime I cried. I can’t believe how my life has changed in these past weeks from happy to constant crying and now in the hands of a man who I have never met before, who wants to kill me.
Liam’s POV
The next day finally arrived, no matter how much I begged the night to be over, it went at a slow pace, making me almost lose my mind with a crying wolf in my head. Sleep was far from me all through the night. I could not even think of resting, I went through so much data searching for places that best fit Ripley’s description of the location where my mate is.
I came out of the shower and quickly got dressed, It was past five am, and I had my phone with me all the time, even in the bathroom. I wouldn’t want to miss any calls or messages from that lunatic. I rushed downstairs to meet with my family who hasn’t gotten a proper rest too from all the drama going on.
My brother sat together with Greg, and they seemed to be in a serious conversation, Dad was talking on the phone, and it appeared it was an important call.
Mom was not in the living room, but I heard sounds coming from the kitchen indicating she was busy there, making breakfast.
The room was filled with so much tension, I figured out they knew something that I did not know.
” Come on, spill it, what is it?” I asked in a very incensed voice.
They all paused to look at me, I was not in a good mood, and they should know best to keep any information for me.
” Liam, we may have a clue about who the spy is,” Derick says.
I turn to look at my brother, my wolf surfacing at his words.
” Who?” Both I and my wolf ask in an enraged voice.
” We think it’s Zach,” Greg says this time.
” And who on earth is that?” I ask.
” The same spy I paid to watch Macy.”
I halt at his words, my mind wandering back to everything, How come we missed it, how come I did not think back to that?
Come to think of it, that spy was the only one that always kept an eye on Macy, he was aware of everything that was happening.
But, Greg never told him who Macy was to me, so how on earth did he know that, except he had help from the inside? That man is not a member of my pack, he only comes to the pack once in a while to run errands for his Mate’s father, Elder Finn, who is a council member.
” Not only that Alpha, we found a recording chip device that was planted in my phone,” Greg continues.
” What! How is that even possible?” I asked, confused by this newfound information.
” Miles was able to run a check on all ICT databases here in the pack, including your phone, from his PC. Knowing that you did not discuss Macy being your mate with no one apart from Greg and our parents, to catch this person we have to use the tech method, Which seems to work because a bug was detected in Greg’s mobile.” Derick explained.
” This is absurd, how on earth did a recording chip get implanted in your phone?” I ask.
” The main question is: Who planted it? Liam” My brother says.
” After finding out about the chip, we decided to check the Pack’s CCTV for any strange moves from anyone but found out that all the databases of the pack’s activity has not been on record for the past weeks,” Derick continued.
I was shocked to hear all of this happening right under my nose, how come I never noticed any of this?
” Now the shocking news of everything is that I remember lending my phone to Elder Finn after the last council meeting to make a phone call after he claimed he forgot his at home.” my beta says.
” And Elder Finn was the one who also introduced, Zach to Greg,” Dad says this time.
“So you’re saying that one of my council members has been keeping an eye on me and is the one responsible for my Mate’s disappearance?” I asked all of them.
” Yes, Liam, Elder Finn is the inside spy.”
