Zoe POV
“Did you grab the paint thinners?” I asked Ava as we lined up at the hardware storeShe rummaged through her basket, holding up the tin, and I nodded.
We were revamping some of the outdoor furniture and had stopped on our way to do the school run to grab a few things before picking up the kids.
“You think it will get it off?
” Ava asked, reading the instructions on the back of the tin.
“Yeah, it‘ll work.Just don‘t get it on your skin, it burns like a bitch,” I tell her while we go through the self serve.
I take the tins from her and quickly scan them.
We pay for our items before walking back out to my little car.We were loading everything into the trunk when I heard the screech of tires on the road.We both look over our shoulders to see a red van speed past at alarming speeds.
Both of us watched the commotion on the main street before the car left our sight.
“Geez! Bloody twit.It‘s a school time,” Ava says, shaking her head.
I sighed, quickly closing the trunk before climbing into the driver‘s side.I had just started the car and Ava was climbing into the passenger seat when my phone rang.
It was Marcus checking if I was still right to grab the kids, I told him we were on our way to the school before quickly hanging up, and he promised to meet me at home.
We clip our seatbelts in and pull onto the road.We were driving past the reserve toward Valen‘s pack where the school is when the roar of an engine was heard coming up fast behind us.
Ava looks behind us and groans.
“It‘s the dickhead from the hardware store,” she says, turning back to the front.
Must be the day for idiot drivers.
Going around the slight bend, I am jolted forward in my seat.
My head hits the steering wheel and I vaguely remember hearing Ava scream and the sound of creaking metal when everything went black.
My head pounded when my vision returned, and pain slithered up my spine.
The smell of oil and rubber reached my nose as I dazedly blinked to find I was upside down, my eyes blurred throbbed to the same beat as my head, smoke and dust filling the inside of the car from the smashed windows.
The scent of blood wafted to my nose and my hands hung above my head as I realized we had crashed.I tried to remember what happened, but I groaned, dazed and pained.
Looking over at Ava, she also groaned before tugging at her belt.I tried to warn her and reached for her, but it was too late as she undid her seatbelt and crashed onto the roof of my upturned vehicle.I tried to put my hand on the roof to support my weight when shooting pain washed through my hand.I shrieked, looking at it to find my thumb dislocated when Ava unclips my seat belt and I land on my busted hand.
“Zoe, what happened?” Ava murmurs, clutching her head and my surroundings spun as I rolled onto my back.
I glance out the window to find we were in the reserve.How long had we been out for?
“The truck,” I groaned, rolling back only to see feet racing toward us through the broken window.
A gasp escapes me and my eyes widen when I see a man reach in through the broken window and grip Ava‘s hair, just before she turned to see what I was looking at.He started yanking her through the smashed, mangled window.
Ava screams and thrashes and I grip her legs, trying to hold her when she is yanked from my grip.
Her screams rang out loudly when a man I had never seen before punched her and knocked her out.Her body goes limp and I crawl out the window of my wrecked vehicle and try to stop him, only to forget about the other two set of feet I saw.
Arms wrap around my torso as I scream for them to let her go.
Her body was floppy over the man‘s shoulder.
Twisting, I try to turn in the man‘s grip, trying to get loose before I sank my teeth into his bicep.
He growls and lets go, allowing me to escape his clutches.
The man with Ava walks up the steep incline, and I chased after the man who grabbed her.
Before I could reach her, I was tackled, and the air expelled from my lungs with an oompfh.
I wheeze, trying to catch my breath when I feel the mind link open up.
“What do you want to do with this one?” A deep baritone voice calls out above me as I thrash trying to get out from under him, his knee pressed in the center of my back
Chapter 119
“Bring her.Boss may let us keep her,” I heard another voice call out and the man above rolled me over, his hand wrapped around my throat, and he smiled cruelly.
His dark hair falling in eyes when I heard Marcus‘s voice flit through the mind–link.
“Babe?” Marcus screams through the link.
“Marcus!” I shrieked.
“Oh, we‘ll have fun with you alright,” the man growls, flashing his teeth as I try to free myself.
I scream when I feel his tongue roll across the side of my face and he groans lewdly.
His friend behind him is laughing and I try to alert Marcus when a fist connects with the side of my head.I gazed dizzily up at the sky, my eyes losing focus when I am hit again and see nothing but darkness.
Motion and bumps woke me.We were in the back of a van, and my hands were tied behind my back.
My fingers felt like they were losing circulation when I hit the side wall before hearing a chuckle.
A whimper escapes me as I lay on my trapped arms and I look up only to be kicked in the stomach by the man sitting along the side wall.
His legs were what I had slid into.I grunt at the impact and am winded instantly when the van stops, causing me to roll onto the other side.
The double back doors are swung open.I suck in a harsh breath as pain rattled through alll of me and I could taste my own blood and smell ...smell.
Turning my head, I searched for her to find Zoe also tied up and another man with ash blonde hair was pawing at her and squeezing her breasts.
Her chest was littered with bite marks, her shirt had been torn off her and she was only left in her bra and black slacks.
Zoe was unconscious and completely limp.
Fear coils and slivers through me.
No!I gasped.
I growl at him and struggle against my restraints.
“Don‘t touch her, you sick fuck!” I scream at him when I see the man push his hand down her pants.
At the same time feel a pinch in my neck, and the dark–haired man waves a syringe in front of my face.
“That‘ll do bitch.Now quiet or you will get a taste of what she gets,” the man who kicked me says.
He sweeps his dark hair from his eyes before he gripped my arm, dragging me from the back of the van.I felt funny.
My vision tunneled yet I remained conscious, although I felt the wolfsbane burning through my system, stunning my wolf and muting the mind link.I cursed myself, I should have played dead and alerted my father.
Yet I was helpless as I felt the drug take effect and I was tossed onto the cold concrete floor.
My head bouncing off it painfully when Zoe falls beside me.
“Zoe?” I groaned.
She was drenched in blood, and I knew I was too, but she had a deep gash across her forehead and blood dribbled out the corner of her mouth.
“Zoe!” I cried when I saw the man who stabbed me in the neck also stab a needle into hers.
She doesn‘t respond.
When I hear the sound of footsteps, my eyes try to glance around.My body was paralyzed, and it wasn‘t until the footsteps drew close enough that I could see his face.
