Ziana’s POV
I fall forward onto the scrawny body of the bloody man I was questioning with a thump.
“Ah. Finally.” I hear a gravelly voice say from beside me. I look at the man beneath me, one eye light pink, the
other brown.
“What the hell did you just do?” I whisper in horror as he smirks at me, then opens his mouth to speak, but before he can, meaty hands grab my arms and hauls me up to my feet.
I am turned to face one of the men from my nightmares. His pale blue eyes penetrate mine with sickening happiness. His blonde hair is starting to turn gray around his beard and his head is shaved, like it always
was.
I’m paralyzed in fear as I stare at him, my body going rigid. He grips my cheeks and pinches them hard,
making my lips pucker. He glances at them, then licks his lips and grins.
“Oh. Angel, do I have plans for you.” He says and stabs me with a needle. I feel a familiar fire spread through
my veins before I black out.
I wake up in a dark, damp, dirty, putrid smelling room. My hands are tied above my head in chains, feet barely
dangling off the ground. I take a deep breath and focus inward. I feel for my bonds, but they are dim. I feel
them, but I can’t feel how far they are, or talk to them.
then reach for my wolf. “Arora.” I say, but the emptiness I feel where she should be makes me choke.
“ARORA!” I yell at her, but nothing. All I feel is a slight pulse in my chest in response. I don’t have my mates,
and I don’t have her. I’m alone again and the realization hits me harder than it should. A sob breaks through
and I choke on it, almost throwing up whatever is in my stomach.
Laughter breaks me from the fight as Reginald steps out of the shadows in the room.
“Did you really think I would let you have your wolf? I saw you shift, you little b*tch. She’s gone and isn’t
coming back.” He says, smacking me then letting me swing with the motion.
“No.” I say and he laughs again.
“I’ll do what I want, when I want. Especially with my property. Remember?” He says, gripping my finger and twisting it. I whimper at the pain, refusing to scream. At least not yet. Then his hand traveled down my arm and reached to stroke my face. “And this time.” He starts as his claw extends and drags down my cheek, then
takes a step back, grabbing his hard on and squeezing, at the sight of my blood. “Mmmm. This time I can do
everything I want.”
He lets go of himself, then walks over to the wall of torture devices. Picking up the pliers he turns to me with
a smile.
“But first, it’s play time.” He says, then begins to stalk towards mé.
Killian’s POV
Grim gave me control back when we got to the training building. I quickly threw on some clothes and went inside. As soon as I saw what Zane was talking about, the thirst for blood settled, with the feeling of being

sick replacing it.
I have never felt so satisfied and disgusted at the same time, but the sight before me give me a chance to experience it. Ziana’s torture was almost mild compared to what Addie is doing, and that fact is scary as hell. Especially considering Addie has barely touched the guy.

After about 5 minutes Lex threw up, he started crying when Addie first started. She has barely started her interrogation, if anything, she’s just detailing different ways of torture and how creative she can get, followed by a questions, then taking the sander to a body part, but not holding it there long.
“Lex. Tell me what happened or this is going to start getting much.. Much worse.” Addie demands as snot runs down his nose. He shakes his head.
“I can’t.” He says and she huffs then turns on the sander and holds it close to his head.
“Tell me or I’ll start at your forehead and won’t stop until every inch of your body has been touched by this.” She says, shaking the sander and ramps it up to full speed, moving it closer and closer to his forehead slowly. Right as the sander touches his forehead he screams and pulls back as much as possible.
“I. I replaced the cuffs with fake ones. Th. They took Gabbie. They sent me pictures and said if I didn’t do what they said, they would slowly cut off her limbs and send them to me. They sent me her finger and said if I talked at all they would send more. I’m. I’m sorry. I. I couldn’t. They would have killed her slowly. I’m sorry.” He finally breaks and is now rambling. Gabbie. She is the 10 year old that was taken.
“Take him to the healers and make sure only Katrina and her trusted ones help him. Meet me in my office.” I instruct Addie and she nods, barely looking at me as she gets Lex down and transports him to the hospital.
I grab Zane and transport us to my office, Kai joins. I rush over to the files of the abducted girls and begin to
sift through them.
“Maybe that is why the girls were taken, he is using them to blackmail the families. We need to call in the families of these girls and see what is going on. Addie, you need to go wash and change. You reek of pi*s and are covered in blood.” I say, handing files to Zane and Kai. She nods, but doesn’t move.
“You need to call Warrick and Evan. They need to know she has been taken.” Addie says and I growl, but nod in agreement. She disappears after my nod and I sigh, running a hand through my hair looking at Zane and
Kai.
“I’m neither of you want to call them instead?” I ask and Kai barks out a laugh.
“Hell no. I’ll go find Carmen’s family.” He says, then disappears.
“I’ll stay. She is my mate too.” Zane says and sits on the chair opposite my desk, his leg shaking anxiously. I sit in my chair and dial the number the queen gave me when I first met her.
It rings three times before a groggy yoice answers.
“Hello?”
“Queen Evan. It’s Alpha Killi..” I begin, but am cut off.
“What happened?” She asks, more alert this time.
“Ziana was taken. We are doing everything we can to fin..” I start, but am again cut off.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WAS TAKEN?!” She yells into the phone. I hear noises in the background as I

flinch at the tone of her voice.

“You know what? DON’T answer that. I will be there soon.” She says. Even though it is concern for her daughter, it sounds like a threat. Goddess, I hope this doesn’t waste too much time, we need to find her.
