Kayden’s POV
I alighted from the car sharply along with Samantha and heard straight into the mansion.
“Alpha Kayden.” James bowed.
“Where is Davis?”
“I apologize Alpha Kayden, I have been unable to get him.” he replied and I clenched my fists, punching the air.
“That bastard actually dared to betray me! He dared to kidnap my very own mate! ” I seethed angrily.
“What about the Lady? The one who impersonated Marie?” Samantha asked James.
“I have kept her locked up in a room, I can take you there.”
“Move.”
James led the way while both I and Samantha followed behind him. He opened the room and there was lady seated on the floor, her leg bleeding.
“I had to shoot her leg down to ensure that I get her.”
“Who….” I was about to move forward when Samantha held me back.
“She is a lady, let me handle this.” she requested and moved to the lady with a stern look.
“Who are you?” Samantha asked and that to be the hardest her voice had ever been since I have known her.
“I would not like to repeat myself.” she seethed.
“I would not say a thing!”
“I am not really expecting you to say much.” Mantha replied and grabbed a silver belt that had a leather handle.
“I think the pain on your leg is not enough, telk me who you are right at this moment!”
“My Davis would never forgive you this!”
“Your Davis?”
“Yes, I am his mate and he loves me very much, he would not let this slip! Never!” She spat.
“Wow! I see… Davis is your mate.”
“Yeah! He is my mate and he is going to protect me!”
“Whose hands your life is in depends on everyone but Davis.”
“Where is Marie?” Mantha asked.
“Marie… That silly girl.” the girl laughed, her laughter was filled with pain but yet managed to maintain the sarcasm.
“What did you do to her? Where is she?” Mantha asked once more.
“She…”
“Are you going to tell it to me right now?!”
“I killed that silly girl. I could not have left her alive since I was going to take over her identity, that would…..” She breathed heavily in pain before continuing.
“That would… that would be stupid to do so I killed her.” she said and Mantha slapped her hard across the cheek.
“How could you have killed her?!”
“She…. that…. that was the only way I could remain hidden.”
“And now? How hidden can you be? Ugh?!” Mantha asked, her face turning red as she lurched forward.
It was obvious that she was getting furious. I moved towards her and pulled her into my arms
“I am going to take care of this perfectly well.” I assured her and she looked up at me, hesitating for a moment.
“I promise.”
She nodded and headed out of the place.
James POV
I walked into Cassie’s room and found her sitting sullenly on the edge of the bed, she did not even seem to notice my presence in the room.
“Cassie.” I called out, touching her shoulders gently. She looked back at me with a small jolt and gulped softly.
“Is anything wrong?” I asked her and she shook her head to tell me no but there was no way I was taking that for my answer because her face and mood were both screaming against her response to me.
“Something is wrong, let me know what is wrong, you do know I can’t stand you being in this mood.”
“I…. I don’t want to really talk about it.” she mumbled.
“You can tell me about anything you want to Cassie, you know who I am to you, we should not keep secrets from each other.”
“I know that but you might not agree with what I am about to say. ” she said.
“And how would you know if you do not at least tell me about it?”
“Okay then, but you have to promise me that you won’t flare up at this.” she requested and I nodded.
“I promise.”
“I… I am scared for the both of us James, this battle, it’s making me scared, I can not picture what is going to happen if something goes wrong James, how would it affect our lives? What is our live going to become after this battle?”
“Nothing is going to happen to you Cassie.”
“This is not just about me only, it is also about you. You are the one going out there to fight against the bad guys not me, I am much more scared for you than I am scared for myself, James.” she said to me and I smiled gently at her
“You need not worry about me, I will be perfectly fine. Your man is absolutely strong, nothing can come to me, you just have to stay safe for me, stay in during this time.”
“Fine, I will stay in but I really have a bad premonition.”
“You are just being too scared. I know it is very well because of the fact that you love me so much but be rest assured that this period is going to be over, very soon.”
“I really do hope so.” She said and I pulled her into my arms.
“Do not worry, when we are done with all of this we are going to go on a really really long vacation.”
“Really?”
“Yes, just think about where you wish to go during the time that I am involved in this. When you are done, I will get you whatever you want from me.” I replied.
“Sure” she grinned at me and her smile lighted up my heart.
“Okay, I think I would have to go.” her smile dimmed immediately I said those words.
“I would be back very soon. When I come back, we will tell each other stories till we fall asleep.” I said to her, kissed her cheek and walked out of the room.
I turned to take a look at the door and sighed.
“I am going to protect you to the last of my breath.”
