Just as I’m closing the door on Thomas. Aurora and Zoe I hear the front door being slammed open and the stomping of feet. Turning from the lounge door I see Fraction, Patrick and Eliza looking very grim and heading from the office. I jog to catch up with them and manage to get to the office door just before Patrick closes it.
“Well? Was it James and Bellamy?” As soon as we got back Fraction insisted on being taken to the blood so he could scent it for himself.
“It was both of them and there was a fair bit of it as well.” Fraction tells me as he sits himself behind his desk. he holds his arm out to me and I go to him willingly. I climb onto his lap and nuzzle at his chest. I understand he needs my comfort right now so I focus on happy.
comforting emotions and I try to push them on him. I know it’s working when I hear his heartbeat slow a little.
“What now?” Eliza asks as she chews on her finger nails, I know she feels bad for being the bearer of bad news.
“Just past that stretch of forest is a farmhouse. I know for a fact they have CCTV. I’ve already sent one of the warriors to ask for a copy, if the people who left the boot prints behind took James and Bellamy maybe they had a vehicle we can track.” I’m actually surprised at how well Patrick is handling everything. “don’t look so shocked Anna. I’m Head Warrior for a reason.” I smile at Patrick as he goes to answer the knock on the office door.
“Two tapes, one for the front and one for the back. Jon said we owe him one of Momma Beth’s pies.” I hear a male voice speak through the

partial open door.
“Whose Jon?” I ask Fraction quietly.
“An older man who owns the farm just passed the East of our land, he’ s a nice man and Momma Beth goes to talk with him sometimes.” Fraction tells me in a quiet whisper.
“Human?” Fraction just nods his head as he holds his hand out for the tape, the one wrapped around me and settled on my hip doesn’t move. He’s keeping me close, I get that he’s worried so I won’t argue the matter. Using one hand, Fraction loads a disk into his laptop and I see the screen come alive showing a field with a few cows in it, the image. starts to speed up when Fraction clicks something and after a few minutes it ends on a black screen. He makes quick work of loading the second disk in and speeding it up again, I see a white unmarked van pull up in front of the camera and Fraction slows the speed down.

“Got it,” Fraction mumbles as Patrick and Eliza come to stand behind us so they can watch the screen.
I watch as five male figures get out of the van, all of them are wearing camouflage gear, they have helmets on covering their faces and each one has a massive black gun in their arms. They disappear off the side. of the video for about twenty minutes, there is no sound so when they reappear me and Eliza both let out loud gasps. I feel Fraction suck in a breath and something behind me shatters. looking behind me I see Patrick holding a broken whiskey glass. The men have come back but they aren’t alone, they have two males with them, both have zip ties on their ankles and their hands are bound behind their backs. I know which one is James because the other has a tribal tattoo down his arm and along his chest, his skin so sun k*ssed compared to James’s pale skin.
“Someone really took them.” Eliza whispers behind me, I hear a small s ob as we watch Bellamy get thrown to the floor and his head bounces

off the step into the van.
“James is n*ked, how did they get him to shift back? Zeus is a strong fighter, I’ve trained with him before.” Patrick sounds angry that someone got the better of his friend.
“Pause it!” I yell so loudly that Fraction nearly pushes the laptop off his desk in his rush to pause the video, “there look.” I point at the still picture of the van getting ready to pull off. “That’s a license plate, we can track that right? At least find out who owns it?”
“She’s right, write it down for me Anna and I’ll get on it.” Patrick says and I feel myself sit up a little straighter proud that I did something right.
“This was planned, Rick. They were very organised.” I hear Fraction tell Patrick as I go to get up but Fraction’s hand keeps me in place. instead I opt for rooting through his desk drawer to find a pen and piece of paper. “I want the Pack on lockdown, no one leaves the border unless I say so. Patrols are to be three man teams, they took Bellamy and James as a double so we need to assume they know how to handle a wolf.”
“I agree, if you don’t mind I’m going to move Lizzie into here and then I know she’s covered while me and Eliza patrol.” Patrick says quickly.
“Of course we don’t mind.” I say before Fraction can answer. “She can sleep in Aurora’s room. I’ll get an extra bed put in there. That way I’ll be there when Fraction is helping patrols and she will have the protection of the warriors you place on their door.” I turn around handing Patrick the note with the license plate number on it.
“Thanks Anna, I’ll go get her sorted now.” Eliza squeezes my shoulder as her and Patrick quickly leave the office.
“Tell me he’s still alive.” I know it’s needy but I need to hear the words. out loud. I lean back on Fraction so my back is flush with his front.
“He’s alive, he needs us to find him though. And his mate.” Fraction lays a k*ss on my neck and I close my eyes savoring his touch. “thank you for offering a space for Lizzie and not arguing about going on patrol.” pushing Fraction hands off me I stand and turn around, putting a leg on either side of his. He helps me to settle so I am straddling him, grabbing either side of his head I pull his face to mine, he opens his mouth willingly as I give him a deep k*ss.
“I have no desire to patrol, I know I’m not a fighter and you will let me help when I can.” I tell him as I break the k*ss, he’s breathing heavily with his eyes closed. “Just promise me that when I can help you will let me?” Fraction opens his eyes and looks at me with a smile playing on his lips.
“We are stronger together, when there is something you can do I will tell you. For now though.” he give my as s a gentle tap and he pushes me up off him. “Why don’t you go and see the pups while I call around the Alpha’s. I want to see if any of them know who these ba st ards are.”
“You don’t want help with that first?” I bite my lip eyeing the erection currently jutting out against his jeans.
“Later.” I smile at him as I turn to leave the office.
“I’ll hold you to that.” I tell him just as I close the office door and head down to the pups.
