Chapter 28 ~ We take it to the Public

I have barely slept. My one eye is swelled shut.. so that’s fun. I have no idea what time it is. Mindlinking has proven to be a false hope. I think wherever I am.. the room is spelled to prevent my communicating with Alex or Kendrick..

I can hear arguing. That’s been going on for awhile. There seems to be two males and one female. Fighting over what to do with me. Here’s an idea… turn me loose.. and you might survive. Maybe.. if I feel exceptionally generous.. which I am not feeling…not at all!

I’m cranky, as fuck! My body aches.. I am chained to a wall.. I am thirsty! I’m hungry! And I have to pee! If they think to frighten me, they are failing miserably! They are, however, succeeding at pissing me off!

I hear the key turning in the lock. When the door opens, a she-wolf stands there..she’s a little unkempt.. like she could use a good hot shower.. She screws her face up and growls “Surprised to see Me!?” I smile at her.. which probably looks like a grimace on my swollen face “Not surprised a bit! I might be.. you know, a little bit surprised.. if I even knew who the fuck you are. But since I don’t.. nope.. can’t say I’m surprised!”

She stomps over and slaps me! In the face! On my swollen eye! Angelica nearly loses it.. but I managed to pull her back. I snarled “That’s ONE, Bitch! Best hope you don’t get to three..” Thinking she’s smart, she asks “And, if I do?” Oh! Try me, bitch! I reply “Three means I kill you. Satan himself won’t stop me!”

Ethan steps into the room. Damn! He’s tall. Lanky, though. Kendrick has him by a good four inches and probably sixty pounds. I smirk “Tell your whore to keep her hands off me, or she will lose them first!” He just shrugs and takes her arm… dragging her out. What the hell!? I’m kidnapped and the only person to speak wants to throw hands! I’m seriously getting aggravated, now!

I start yelling “Hey! Dickweed! I have to pee!” I wait several minutes, then yell it again. And so on.. until Angel says 🐺 Maybe don’t call him Dickweed? 🐺 Well, he should answer! What should I call him, then? I won’t respect him enough to call him Ethan! 🐺I don’t know.. Let’s throw some out there and see which one we like best. I’ll start.. Asswipe.. 🐺 Not harsh enough! DickLicker? 🐺That one’s not bad! Douchenozzle? 🐺 Douchenozzle for the Win! Ding Ding! And I laugh out loud. I love my girl! I yell “YO Douchenozzle! I have to pee!”

Finally, he comes in.. unchains me from the wall, and snaps cuffs into place on both wrists. He leads me into a hallway.. two doors down, he shoves me inside. Ahh! A toilet and a sink! I turn the faucet on.. letting it run, while I do my business. While sitting there.. I tried linking Kendrick.. still nothing! Then I wash my face and hands.. before scooping water up to drink. Once I was satisfied, I knocked on the door.. since the fucker locked it from outside!

He drags me back down the hall.. slams me into the wall and rechains me. He steps back and just stares at me. Freakazoid! I tell him.. “Nice place you have here! Rated a whole star, I’ll bet!” He turns and walks out.. locking me in. Because, you know..chained to a wall isn’t enough!

Bella has been gone nearly twenty-four hours. A whole day.. She’s not being tortured.. but I did feel a sharp pain in my cheek, earlier. Alexander and I think she was hit.. maybe slapped. And, Goddess help the fool!

It’s past dinner time, and I worry if she’s being fed. If she’s even conscious. I don’t know what shape she’s in.. how bad she was hurt in the collision. And I pray. Please Goddess! Look after my love until I bring her home! She doesn’t deserve this!

Alexander comes in and asks “Any word from the teams?” I tell him “I am expecting to hear back from them within the next hour, or so. Are you picking up anything through your bond?” Shaking his head, he says “Anger.. whoever has her has pissed her off.. her face is in pain.. but I don’t know what that’s about.. she isn’t frightened. More of a feeling of determination. They haven’t hurt her yet. So there’s that hope!”

I shake my head “Hurt her!? They better pray they don’t! Their life is forfeit.. as of yesterday.. How they die will be determined!” Loren walked in.. followed by Jake. “The teams are back.. I have sent four more out.. in a different direction. They actually tracked the scent of the two men from the diner. They found that, after leaving the diner.. they got into a dark Land Rover with two other men. Video surveillance on the back of the diner, caught that. Their scent was at the scene.. and they tracked them almost forty miles to another town to the east.”

I asked “Has the town been searched? Any packs in the area? Someone knows something.. and Ethan has to have had help!” Loren looks up sharply “Help? Talk to me.. What makes you think that?”

I tell him “The two men in the diner! They didn’t smell rogue..according to Max and Jake. Jake thinks they smell like pack.. but he told me, that while it smelled familiar, he didn’t recognize the pack scent. So.. if pack members are helping Ethan.. we need to focus on that!”

Then Loren says “Maybe we need to do a press release. Get the word out there that the Princess has been abducted. Offer a reward? Should have been done the first time! But, I respected my daughter’s wishes” I nod and tell him “I want to give it one more day. If we have nothing by five tomorrow.. we take it to the public!”
