3 Chapter 3: (2/2)

”YOU SON OF A b.i.t.c.h! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!” The vengeful yell radiated through walls of the coven stopping all of our talking. Zavier stumbled back for a moment before darting for where the scream was, several things being thrown around in the room next to us.

”I want Nava!” A little cried out loud, her horrified cries harming my entire existence but her words slicing through my heart.

Nava.

”Faye!” Zavier yells causing the rest of us to follow behind closely. I was closest to the door since I prayed that my own mate was here but the sound of the little girl crying out to for my mate made me think of the worst possibilities.

”GET AWAY FROM ME! I HAVE TO SAVE HER!” Faye screams, using what left power she had to throw something against the wall. Tears running down her cheeks as the little girl sobbed into her ripped up pants.

There was no Nava...

”Love. Please. You are home-”

”NAVA IS STILL IN THEIR HANDS! SHE MADE A DEAL WITH THEM FOR OUR SAFETY! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!” Faye sobbed while Zavier rushed to her side and grasped her in a tight hug, the misery on his face apparent making my own chest tighten even more.

My Nava...

She sacrificed herself for the safety of her friends...

What was she thinking?

Faye continued sobbing into her mate's hold, her whole body looks so much smaller than before and the sight harmed my own heart. The little girl was still crying out for Nava, screaming her name as a few of us trying getting closer to her but that only increased her cries.

I growled at them, not wanting any of them touching the little girl who was so fond of Nava before she noticed me. s...o...b..ry tears ran down her face when she darted for me and grasped my leg, her cries only increasing.

I knelt down to the ground and held onto the little girl, both of us just as upset about Nava still in the hands of the a.s.sa.s.sins but thankfully the a.s.sa.s.sin that contacted us was offering me to help her escape. Not like it mattered about her motive, only her actions mattered to me at the moment.

”We have to go back... She risked her life for ours.” Faye mumbled into her mate's shoulder, broken about the whole experience like the small child clutching onto me. Everyone around us looked completely lost and unsure what to even do when I shook my head and picked the little girl up.

If Nava never came back, this girl was the only thing I had to remember her by.

〰〰〰

”Are you alright to speak now...?” Zavier asks his mate as she sniffed and rubbed her eyes from the incoming tears. I could tell that she's been through h.e.l.l, I couldn't even imagine what my own soul mate has been through.

”Y-Yes.” She nodded slowly, taking in a shaky breath before beginning. ”I can't r-remember much from the beginning, but I know that the a.s.sa.s.sins were more interested in Nava. She must have made a few deals with them because neither th-the girl or I would l-leave the cell. Every few hours, N-Nava would leave and come back with bruises. She'd-” Tears collected inside of her eyes and I could tell it was so hard for her to even relive the memories.

I couldn't imagine what that pain felt...

What my mate went through to ensure their protection...

She was so courageous.

”It's okay. Take your time.” Zavier smoothed over, rubbing his hand over her hand in a comforting way that made me long to be with my own soul mate.

”She'd never say a w-word about what it-t was they'd make her do. She'd always come back in the same way... Disgusted and angry... I thought I'd seen a wolf angry after Zavier's temper tantrums but the way she was... It-It was dangerous and I knew the a.s.sa.s.sins chose her because she was an easy target.” She admits with a shaky breath when I hit my fist against the table, scaring the poor child in my hands.

”She is not an easy target! She is stronger than anyone here!” I said proudly though the look on Zavier's face horrified me. I refused to back down as they talked smack about my mate.

”I'm not saying she isn't strong. It's just...” Faye thought about her word choice carefully before looking back at me. ”She was cornered and threatened. She has been through things and the a.s.sa.s.sin whose captured us can go through memories much like my mother. He can manipulate a mind into doing anything he wants. Most likely... he-he used me and the little girl as a way to threaten us. He knew that she was loyal to the pack.” Faye explains softly hating that she knew the man too well but not saying a word about their relations.h.i.+p.

It was clear that this man was some kind of person in charge of the league.

He was going to die in my hands.

”How did you get home, love?” Zavier questions while sighs and ran a hand through her dirty red hair, a smile rising on her tense face.

”Zavier. I am pregnant.” She confesses making all of us jump out of our seats, everyone except for me.

I could care less at this point since I was more interested in my soul mate's wellbeing.

”Before we celebrate, we have to get Nava back. She protected my baby and she knew about it which is probably why she sacrificed herself for us.” Faye stopped their celebration and looked over at me. ”Nava struck a deal with the leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins and Wyn sent me home. I don't know what they said to her, but whatever it was. It was not good. She knew this and pushed me away. I think...” Faye stopped talking for a moment, glancing at all of us before settling her gave on me. ”I think she plans to murder him even if she dies,” Faye admits making everything within me reach for the phone and dial the number of the a.s.sa.s.sin.

I am getting my girl back now.
