Chapter 120
Enzo:
“What do you mean that Yasmin is missing?” I asked, frowning at the man.
I looked at Alaria who shook her head, silently asking me not to over react, the last thing that we needed was for Matias to worry more than he clearly already was. The man’s eyes were darker than they had ever been, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to blame him. Yasmin was the light of his day, and his one family member, especially after his mate, her mother passed away.
“She went out, boss. She seemed to be annoyed and didn’t want to be told to ask permission. While we understand that she is an adult, we still asked…”
“YOU ALLOWED HER OUT OF THE PACK!” Matias asked, yelling so loud that everyone, including Caspian, flinched. His eyes were dark with rage, and I was forced to wrap my arms around the man, stopping him from doing something that would be considered foolish, though I had to admit, I knew that I would be reacting the same way, if not worse, if Ashton was in the same situation. “You know that the pack is in danger, and you fucking know that we are dealing with enemies. YOU allowed my daughter to leave…” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Matias, we are going to get her back. But you are going to have to calm down. If…”
“IF they have her, you are going to need to understand, Enzo, that they are not going to stop there. The woman is going to do her best to make me bend the knee. I am going to be forced to do so to ensure that she doesn’t die, and Enzo…”
“You are going to do what they ask, and we are going to manage a way to get her. I know that they
to
are going to ask for information, or they are going o
ask for
“Enzo, they can end up asking for your son, and if I am going to be put in
that situation-.” The man looked at Alaria for a moment, and she raised an eyebrow at him. “They are going to their best to get what they want, and I don’t want them to end up tormenting my daughter. They are going to do it, and you fucking know that they would.”
“And that is why we are going to play their own dirty game. But to do so, you are going to need to calm down.” I said, taking a deep breath as I tried to find the right words to say. I knew that Alaria wasn’t liking this, and I knew that I couldn’t blame her. She has worked hard to protect Ashton from this mess, and now that he might be in threat of being in one, I knew that she was going to be worried. “Where is the fucker?”
“Locked in the basement, Alpha.” I looked at Leonardo, and he nodded. The anger that I saw in my best friend’s eyes was one that I couldn’t explain. And though I didn’t know what was going on, I
knew not to ask.
The two of us walked toward the basement, and I let out a warning growl the second I entered, watching as the man’s eyes widened in surprise. His heart pounded against his chest, and I could tell that this was the last thing that he expected himself to be in. The fear that I saw in his eyes told me that he wasn’t told that he was going to be in this situation.
“Where is she?” I asked, not wanting to press on any of the topics that anyone else might be talking about. I didn’t even want to know what they wanted. The man was a messenger, even if he did
know, he was ONLY going to tell us what they fed him to do so. And I wasn’t in the mood to be dealing with lies.
He didn’t answer for a moment, and I let out a warning growl as I heard Matias walking inside from. behind me. The man was going to break his face if he laid a finger on him, and though the messenger might not be the one in charge of kidnapping her to begin with, I knew that he would be one of those associated. The one issue that I had right now was the fact that the man was human.
“I asked a fucking question,” I said, walking toward him. He was tied to one of the chairs, and though he tried to move, I knew that he wouldn’t be able to. The steel that held him was strong enough to hold wolves, I doubt that as a human, he would be able to break it.
I wrapped my hand around his chin, digging my nails inside his skin. He winced, and I knew that though I could break his jaw, not to do so, not yet anyway.
“I don’t know.”
“Really?” I asked, smirking at the man. His eyes calmed momentarily, but it wasn’t until I lowered my hand to his knee, breaking it, that his eyes widened in surprise. His wails of pain could be heard down the street. “Trust me when I say, you have two hundred and six bones in your body and I am more than willing to do the same on every single bone until you speak.”
I tightened my grip around his now shattered knee, moving down to his leg to repeat the and he shook his head.
process,
“I SWEAR! I SWEAR IT! ALL I KNOW IS THAT THEY TOOK HER TO THEIR MANSION.” He
screamed, stopping me. “Please, please, that is all I know. They took her to the Petrov mansion. If swear, it is all I know. I don’t know where they want to keep her, I don’t know anything. I don’t…”
I shattered his leg bone, and the cry that he let out made me wince as its sound was piercing to my ears. Caspian, who stood by the door, cleared his throat, reminding me of his presence and the fact that the person was human.
I took a step back and looked down at the man for a moment before taking a step back. The elder didn’t say a word, but I could tell that he was judging the situation before he took a step forward.
“Though I am against the torment of man for answers; it seems to me that he is hiding a lot more under that skin of his.” He said, looking at a chain that was hidden under his shirt. The man was of wolf blood, but a non–shifter. A rogue bastard, those who are even darker, colder, and more evil than any rogue who shifted could be. “And considering his lie, I believe that you can get his answers. But this is not your game to play, as the girl who is in their captivity is not yours.”
He looked at me for a moment and I watched as he took a deep breath before nodding.
“I will discuss with the board of elders, but we are to be by your side.” He said, calmly. “It is time to put an end to the reign of rogues if this is how they are going to play. And we are going to start by this one in particular. His head is to be sent along with the elder’s crest. If they do not take the final warning, we attack.”
“I think that it is a fair offer.” He said, letting the necklace of the man go. The dark silver circle glowed, and he looked at me, his eyes widening in both surprise and fear. “We will discuss matters when you are done. For now, I am going to give you the benefit and advantage of the fun. I think
that you are going to need and enjoy this ‘easy‘ prey…”
