With all the intention of just burning off my anger through a quick run and coming right back to her, I let my wolf take me around the borders. Half way into the run, I felt strange. At first I thought it was guilt for leaving her, but something in the air made me feel uneasy.

I tried to convince myself that Vareesa was right beside her house. Nothing would happen. Her father was on his way back. They would find each other,

But no.

Something was definitely wrong. It was an instinct, a feeling, a twisting in my gut and a worry like no other.

And I always trusted my instinct.

I turned back, running as fast as I could to where I left her, but panic was starting to settle, weighing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.

She’s safe.

She has to be safe.

She has guards nearby. She has her father coming back too.

But I shouldn’t have left her.

I should have stayed and manned up.

Vareesa.

My Vareesa.

Please be okay, my love.

But as I make it to where I left her, I only find Benedict, clutching his neck and looking around with a look of such deliriousness. He looked like he was going insane, walking back and forth, touching the ground with his free hand.

“Vareesa?!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, making me freeze. “Vareesa!”

She was gone.

Vareesa, my Vareesa.

With much difficulty, I shifted back into my human form and couldn’t wrap my head around this… “Benedict?”

He whirled around, eyes wide. His panic was evident. “Sebastian!”,

Benedict never called me by name. Once. Earlier, but this was different. This, this was him in a state of absolute alarm.

Of absolute fear.

“Where’s Vareesa?” I managed, my throat closing.

The hold he had on his neck tightened. He’s been holding his neck a lot recently but it was never like this. “She’s gone. I can’t find her. She’s not at her house-”

I didn’t let him finish, kicking down the front door of her house, but it was empty. The lights were closed with no sign of life. I ran back to where Benedict was and he was touching the ground.

The smell of silver powder was everywhere and I found myself gasping, not from the pain of the smell but from the horrible realization.

Someone took Vareesa.

My wolf takes over yet again, howling into the night, and then he’s growling and snapping and raging as I feel my entire world shatter into a million pieces.

How many times have I been warned that this would happen? How many times have I made sure she was safe, that she was always accompanied by either Benedict and I… except today when I told Benedict to leave and when I left her.

No.

Vareesa.

This. Can’t. Be.

Vareesa.

Where’s my Vareesa?

I was howling again as my wolf shed his own tears. There was so much pain happening in my chest that I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t do anything. I was running again before I could think straight, trying to find her scent, trying to find her in the woods, but I knew better.

Silver powder is potent, erasing all scent.

A weapon that only the city pack uses.

I’m tearing through the woods, breaking everything that I touch as I find myself heading towards the city pack’s territory. It would take days to get there, but I would be there and I would show them my wrath.

Vareesa.

I’ve failed her.

I was too angry at Benedict and Vareesa that I had risked her safety.

This is all my fault. I did this. I let this happen.

And now they’ve taken her.

She must be so afraid. She must be so confused-

I stop running, my mind clearing for a few seconds. No one crossed the border. I’ve made sure of this. That’s why I was so confident about leaving her alone near her house.

Not a soul was ever near the borders.

That means whoever took Vareesa came from within the farm lands…

And the only other people near Vareesa at the time that I left her were the guards that I assigned to her. She had four guards. All of them in the vicinity, close enough to hear everything that happened, close enough to know that I had sent Benedict away and that I had left for a run.

I find myself back to where I left Vareesa. A pile of my ruined clothes was on the ground and they were warm. I can tell she

was holding them before she was taken, clutching me close after our fight.

Another wave of pain shot through my body as I imagined my mate grasping my clothes before they took her.

I try to push this away, focusing on the task at hand. I would be no use to Vareesa if I let myself panic.

My eyes narrowed as I followed my nose. The silver powder masked Vareesa’s scent but not the ones she was with. Two prominent scents came to me and I knew instantly that they were her guards, but where were the other two?

Tracking their scents, I wasn’t surprised to find their bodies in the woods, dead for an hour or so.

A new wave of rage went through me.

Betrayal yet again.

“Alpha?” It was Benedict, following right behind me. His hand was still on his neck.

Back in my human form, I turned to face my Beta. “What’s wrong with your neck? And how did you know Vareesa was missing?”

Benedict’s eyes widened. He swallowed, his gaze was everywhere but at me. “We don’t have to talk about this now.”

“No. You knew Vareesa was missing before I did. How?” I questioned, jaw tightening. From his expression, I half expected he had something to do with Vareesa’s disappearance, but his eyes said differently. He was just as worried as I was. “Tell me now or I will surely kill you this time, Benedict.”

I have just lost Vareesa.

Life had just turned into a living hell for me and I was ready to lose everything to find Vareesa.

Even him.

Benedict’s lips quiver as he knows I am telling the truth, that I am ready to kill him and everyone else. That I have turned desperate. Utterly desperate.

I can see him thinking, trying to find the right words. My patience thins. “Just say it.”
