Austin POV

+25 Bonus

Where the hell is my mate? I’m beside myself. It has been over twenty-four hours now and I’m still no closer to finding out where Rebel is being held. I have reviewed the footage again and nothing is sticking out to me.

I dial Elias again to see if he has any updates. “Councilman Elias.”

“Councilman, Alpha Austin. I wanted to check in with you to see if you have any new leads.”

“I wish I had better news, Alpha. I had surveillance pulled from different locations. Your Luna was put into a van but the license plates were stolen. I got as far as I could but the trail goes cold after about fifteen minutes when the van disappears. I’m sorry Alpha. I’m still trying to see if there is any other footage I can pull, but so far, I haven’t been able to find anything additional.”

“I thank you for checking councilman.”

“Please, call me Elias. I will do everything in my power within the council to help you, Alpha.”

“Thank you, Elias.” We ended the call and as soon as I put my head in my hands, I hear a knock at the door.

My mother comes in, “Son, are there any updates?”

“No. Elias said he lost his trail after about fifteen minutes of footage. I failed her mom.” I said as my voice cracked.

I failed Rebel. The Moon Goddess blessed me with the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. The mother of my pups. My fated mate. Mine to love, cherish and protect and I have failed to protect her and keep her safe. How will I face her again, when I find her? Even if I rescue her, will she still trust me to keep her or our pups safe?

“Austin Willis,” my mother said in that mom tone you know not to talk back to, “you listen to me right now. Rebel is a strong woman. She will protect my grandpups. She is smart and she will figure out a way to tell you where she is and how you can help her. She was fated to you for a reason. You are big, bad an ugly when the moment calls for it and I suggest you let this moment call for your ugly side to show. Burn the world down if you have to, but don’t you dare pity yourself. You did everything to keep her safe and it was someone else’s negligence that put her in this situation.”

Just as she finished speaking, I hear my mate. Thank the Goddess! But it’s so faint I can’t hear her. The only thing I hear is ‘pack house’.

I try to reach out to her, but the connection is faint. I don’t know if I am getting through or if she can respond. I don’t get another response, but I heard ‘pack house’. Which one though? Where is she?

“I just heard her mama. But the connection is so weak. I could only hear ‘pack house’.” I tell her.

“See? She is trying to reach you. Have some faith, Austin.”

As soon as she says that, I get a strong stabbing pain in my chest. I’m doubled over from the pain. “ARGH!” I grunt.

“AUSTIN! WHAT’S WRONG?!” My mother comes to my side.

I weakly respond, “Betrayal pains.”

“WHAT?!”

“Rebel would never betray me. It means she is being forced mom. I will kill whoever has her. It will be painful.” I say, as another wave of pain hits me.

The waves of pain continues for almost thirty minutes before it finally subsides. I feel weak and I’m drenched in sweat. If I am going through these pains, I can only imagine what Rebel is going through. I fucking hate myself for not finding her sooner. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her.

Renz comes in to provide an update, “Aus – What the fucking is wrong with you?”

My mother chimes in, “Betrayal pains Renz. Both my son and daughter are being tortured. Find her Renz. Please.”

Renz snarls, “Austin, we are going to find the bastards that took Rebel. I promise you.”

“Thank you, Renz.” I barely say before more betrayal pains hit.

For the next four hours, I am doubled over in pain. At one point, I think I am going to vomit from the pain in my chest. When it finally subsides again, I am weak. I fucking hate that Rebel is going through worse. I would gladly take her place for her not to feel any of this, but I can’t and it’s killing me that I don’t know where to find her.

I make my way to our bedroom and change my sweat drenched clothes, before heading back to my office. It’s been almost an hour since the last wave of betrayal pains. I only pray that Rebel will be left alone for the rest of the night.

Just then I get a phone call. I’m hoping it’s Elias or Reid with new information. “Alpha Austin.”

“Alpha, Luna Rebel is in Ironclaw. Mary the omega just saw her.”

“Thank the Goddess. Are you sure?”

“Yes, Alpha. She said Luna is naked and bruised up pretty badly. That fucker Cullen has her tied up.”

I snarl as he continues, “Mary said she was told to go in and feed Luna, since she isn’t supposed to be untied. What do you want me to do Alpha?”

“I’m coming with the guards. Try to mind link your Luna and tell her I’m coming. Her connection right now is weak. If anything changes, let me know immediately.”

I hang up and mind link Renz. ‘Get the warriors ready now. Cullen has Rebel in the pack house.’

“Thank the Goddess! How is she, Austin?’

‘Cullen has her tied up and beaten.’

I hear him growl through the mind link, ‘The warriors are gathering now. Let’s go get our Luna.’

I close the mind link and call Elias. “Alpha, what news?”

“Elias, I just heard from an inside informant. She has eyes on Rebel. She is being held at the pack house in Ironclaw. I have my warriors assembled and I heading out in a few. I would not be upset if the council guard
