2 Chapter 2: (1/2)

”YOU BETTER f.u.c.kING FIND HER N-”

”WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST, YOU f.u.c.kING BARBARIAN a.s.s!”

”DON'T f.u.c.kING CALL ME THAT!”

”STOP BEING A JACKa.s.s THEN!” Archmage Seria screamed at Zavier, both of them fighting once again when I noticed Ajax's tense muscles get up from the table we were at. He looked just as tired as the rest of them, but thankfully it was his turn to play peacemaker today.

The two of them always got into screaming matches, whether it was to make them feel better or to distract them from the fact that Faye and Nava were gone.

But I had a feeling that they could care less about what happened to Nava.

It was me who reminded them all that she was captured as well and the thought of them not even remembering that she was taken as well unsettled my nerves.

However, it was easier to keep my complaints within me or else both of them would turn on me since I was an easy target.

”Break it up! We can't afford for the both of you to fight again today!” Ajax broke up their screaming match as I saw his mate sighing and telling another wolf to report back to the pack. I sat there numb, unsure of what to even think while I started at the maps strewn against the table.

There were circles and lines strewn across the maps but none of them had any great leads. All of them either marked off or still circled. Though none of the locations told us anything about where the ladies were.

The a.s.sa.s.sin we had in the bas.e.m.e.nt long dead since Zavier murdered him in cold blood. Thankfully, he got all the information he could from him but even so.

He had no right to murder him.

Though at the same time, I couldn't blame him.

He was missing his own mate.

Just like me.

My own soulmate, Nava, has been missing for nearly a month.

A whole month.

Everything within me was screaming, wanting her near me even if she hated my presence. The thought of her being in the hands of a.s.sa.s.sins tore me apart.

I'd caught small things that they did to Faye and the thought of her even going through something remotely like that has me dying in my own misery. Every night I prayed to a G.o.d that I was starting to despise.

How could a G.o.d cause his creations such horror and pain?

I couldn't even process the thoughts and that is causing my parents to grow more worried by the second. It's not like they could every understanding.

Their first time was mutual and even magical at that.

My first meeting with my mate, her face was strewn in disgust and horror.

It is a sight that would never leave my mind.

”There's no point in fighting. The longer we remain here, the longer they stay in their hands. We must contact that woman who reached out to us not too long ago. She knows information even if she is an a.s.sa.s.sin.” The older wolf, Daniel, speaks with an ounce of wisdom coming from his tough exterior. His presence always snapping me back into myself yet again, which I was thankful for.

It gave me some time to not think of the endless possibilities that Nava could be going through. I couldn't be any more grateful to the man for acting strong through this when everyone else was slowly dying away in hope.

Everyone except for me.

My mate was a strong one, her spirit wouldn't be broke in less than a month.

”I'll speak with this a.s.sa.s.sin.” I offer quickly while Zavier snarls at me to sit back down and I was quick to follow his rules. He is quite scary and I was not intending to be on his bad side today.

He was extra cranky today.

”No one speaks with that pathetic a.s.sa.s.sin! Listen to my orders! I forbid it!” Zavier shouts angrily when his mother came up behind him and rested her hand on his forearm. The action making him flinch but he didn't swat it away as he did before.

”Come, Zavier. When we find Faye, you must be your best.” She whispers in a motherly tone, but it was her words that caused all his anger to fly out the window. His shoulders dropped and revealed the exhaustion in his movements and eyes.

I felt for the man.

Truly I did.

Slowly, both of them left the room as Daniel glanced over at me with stern eyes. The stormy look in his eyes revealing that troubled thoughts that were running through his mind but he never said a word about them.

”You will meet with her?” He questions once again, this time his voice quieter than before as I nodded and stood up.

”Yes. My soul mate is with the Luna. I will do everything in my power to get them back, even if that is just meeting with this woman.” I promise while he sighed and looked over at Ajax and Alex.

”Get her on the phone then. I want my family found and now.” He orders the couple, making them scramble for the phone and papers. Daniel gave me one last look before joining them and leaving me be at the side of the table.

My nerves and thoughts ran in a frenzy at the thought of seeing Nava once again.

I want t-

No.

I will find her.

〰 Nava 〰

”What do you want?” I snarl, holding my body in front of my Luna as she shook terribly behind me making me bare my growing canines. The sight causing the man in front of me to laugh s.a.d.i.s.tically.

”I told you, you would get a prize for your actions earlier. Don't you want to know what it is?” The a.s.sa.s.sin questions me while I narrowed my eyes and tightened my hold on my shaking Luna.

”No. Go away,” I warn, turning around and moving my Luna to where the little girl was. I did not want those people anywhere near her and I wanted her to feel safe under my protection.
