Nicholas’s POV
Nicholas was in his office going through territory reports when the bond flared.
Not flared, it Ignited.
He dropped the paper.
His hand went to his chest.
Kael surged forward hard enough to make him gasp.
"What the fuck!"
The bond was burning.
Not pain.
Heat.
Arousal.
Fear.
All of it tangled together and slamming into him through Lilith’s side of the connection.
She was terrified.
She was running.
She was...
The door to his office exploded open.
Lucian stood in the doorway.
Eyes already gold and he was breathing hard.
"That bastard is going to kill her." lucian said.
Nicholas was on his feet.
"What." he said.
"Sebastian. Rhen. Lilith is in the fucking woods and Rhen has her." Lucian said looking frstrated.
"How do you know?" Nicholas asked.
"I can feel it. The incomplete bond....it is not stable like yours but I can feel her. She is scared out of her mind and Sebastian is not answering the mindlink."
Nicholas reached for the bond immediately.
The three of them...Nicholas, Sebastian, Lucian shared a private link separate from the pack.
He pushed into it.
Sebastian.
Nothing.
Sebastian answer me right now.
Blocked.
Completely blocked.
Lucian’s hands were shaking.
"He blocked us out." he said.
"I know." Nicholas replied.
"He fucking blocked us out which means Rhen is in control and Lilith is alone with him." Lucian said.
Nicholas moved toward the door.
Lucian was already ahead of him.
They ran.
Through the hall.
Down the stairs.
Past a maid who flattened herself against the wall when she saw them.
Out the front door.
The night air hit them cold and sharp.
Nicholas scanned the tree line.
Nothing.
Lucian was pacing, his eyes blazing which means that Zev was close to taking over.
His claws already out.
"Where the fuck are they." he cursed.
"The woods. South side based on the bond direction." Nicholas said.
"We need to go now." Lucian said, already turning to go, but Nicholas grabbed his arm.
"Wait." he said.
"Wait? Are you fucking serious right now? Rhen could be...." Lucian said.
"If we go charging in there and Rhen is already on edge we make it worse. We could trigger him." Nicholas said, looking at his brother’s frustrated expression.
Lucian ripped his arm free.
"So what. We just stand here while he does god knows what to her?" he asked.
"We reach him through the link first." Nicholas replied.
"He blocked us." Lucian said.
"Then we push harder." Nicholas replied and closed his eyes and shoved into the mindlink with everything he had.
"Sebastian if you can hear me you need to answer me right now. Lilith is terrified. Rhen needs to stand down."
Still nothing.
Lucian tried.
*You stupid fuck if you hurt her I will rip Rhen apart myself.* Lucian screamed into the mindlink.
Still.....Silence.
Then the block lifted and Sebastian’s voice came through.
He sounded calm and genuinely amused, Smug as hell.
Relax....
Nicholas felt his blood pressure spike.
"Relax?" What the fuck do you think you are doing? Why would you let Rhen near her when he is not stable?
Sebastian’s laughter rolled through the link.
Low and dark.
"She came to me." he said.
Lucian growled out loud.
Bullshit!
" I am not lying brother. She walked into the woods by herself. Found me mid-shift. Watched the whole thing. Then ran."
Nicholas’s jaw clenched.
"And you chased her?" he asked.
"Rhen chased her. And caught her. And now she is exactly where she wants to be." Sebastian replied.
"Sebastian...." Nicholas started saying but was cut offf by Sebastian.
"I have everything under control Nicholas. She is safe. She is mine. And if you do not mind I have a mate to fuck."
"Actually....if you want you can come watch. I can give you a show."
"That bastard!" He cursed.
