Chapter 76

I felt the blood soak into my shirt, pooling on the floor. He smiled “You see at first Melissa’s job was to get me information on the Moonlight pack. But after you joined them I wanted her to find a weakness” he smirked “For both alphas, both packs.”
He put the knife on my cheek but didn’t let it cut through the skin “And that’s where you came in. The Omega that has the alpha and the others wrapped around her finger and the other Alpha’s mate” he chuckled “perfect weakness”
“I’m disappointed” I said straightening my head a bit and forcing myself to smile as the knife reached my bottom lip,”I thought you weren’t a coward to use plans as stupid as this.”
“Stupid huh?” he said as he made a small cut on my lip in which I almost squealed from the pain but instead I spat the blood that ran in my mouth onto his face.
“You bitch” he said and slapped me, making me fall back to the ground. he grabbed me by the hair and raised me till I was looking up at him, at level with his chest. “I would’ve killed you for that if it wasn’t that I need you for a little something” He smiled evilly “Let’s check on your pack and mate shall we?”
he took a phone out of his pocket “Mate or Alpha?” he asked me and I just glared at him. He threw me hard on the floor, making me hit my head on the hard surface. I felt dizzy so I didn’t raise my head I didn’t want him to notice “Hmm I think I’m going to go with mate”
At that my head snapped to the side and glared at him. He knelt towards me and put the knife on the side of my neck. He picked up the phone with his free hand and called.
Ethan’s P.O.V.
“fuck” I said throwing the chair near me and punching the wall. my wolf was enraged and so was I, we wanted Lily back and it was frustrating as hell that we couldn’t find her “Search again”
“Alpha we searched almost everywhere” Keith said looking just as tired as I was “We can’t find their new location.”
“Well search harder” I snarled and took a few steps towards him “I don’t care if it takes every fucking wolf in this pack. Find her”
I sat down on the couch with my head in my hands. I searched with Xavier and the guys for hours after we knew she was gone but we didn’t find her so I went straight to the pack house and we both sent search parties, we were both comparing reports and trying to figure out where the rogues were.
“Anything new?” jason asked sitting across from me
I shook my head “No it’s like they disappeared. you?”
Xavier shook his head “Same”
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I needed to find her, and the thought of her getting hurt was scaring the living daylights out of me. I felt my phone vibrate and pulled it out. it was a Private number.
“Hello”
“Ah Alpha Ethan” I heard a voice say “We finally get a chance to talk”
“Who is this?”
“I feel insulted that you don’t know me alpha. After all Lily over here has been telling me a lot about you”
I stood up and growled into the phone “You son of a bitch”
“Is that kind of language really necessary?” he asked and I noticed Xavier now listening to the conversation with his fists clenched. “In the end me and Lily have become good friends”
“Where is she?” I asked as the guys and Keith came in the room “Let me talk to her”
“Not so fast alpha, we have business to discuss first” he chuckled “Besides Lily is right in front of me now she’s…admiring my knife collection”
“If you lay a finger on her” I growled, feeling my wolf wanting to take control “I swear I’ll rip you limb from limb”
“You’re not really in a position to threaten alpha” he snarled “Now listen good I know Alpha of the fire pack is also there and probably the other wolves aren’t I right?”
I let my eyes wander to the guys and didn’t answer and he laughed “Good, this concerns you all. I’m guessing you want your precious mate and Omega alive right?”
“What do you want?” I said in disgust
“The packs” he said “Both the moonlight and the fire moon pack to be surrendered to me along with their lands. Or else your mate is dead” I felt my blood boil “I gotta say alpha, she’s a beauty. And I gotta say the red blood on her skin makes her look…edible”
I stayed silent for a while “You fucking bastard” I said “I’m gonna kill you”
“you’re gonna have to find me first” he stated “What do you say alpha? Which is more important to you: Your mate? Or your pack?”
“Let me talk to her” I snarled into the phone
“fine” he said “Say hi Lily”
I heard shuffling and seconds later I heard heavy breathing “lux?” I said
“Ethan” she said trying to sound usual but her voice was strained
“You okay?”
“I’m fine” she said “But if you give him any of the packs I’ll kill you myself guys I better be dead before–” but she was interrupted as we heard a slap followed by a thump.
Growls erupted in the room from her boys but mine was the loudest. I was furious and my wolf was taking control. “Don’t touch her”
“Three days alpha” he said “Make your decision or lose your mate” and with that he hung up.
