"Fuck," I roared. The birds flew out of the trees as they shook from my outburst. My vision was blinded by my own fury. My breathing became heavy.

I lost her. I should have been more attentive. I was too busy focusing on protecting her I didn't check up on her.

"Damn it," I yell smashing my fist into a tree. She's gone. I couldn't feel anything through our link. It was silent. No feeling no thoughts no communication.

"What the hell happened. Why are you screaming?" Jacob asks through our link. A low rumble emits from my chest as I go back to our house.

"They took her. She gave herself over to them and I was helpless. I couldn't fucking do anything. The bitch witch is strong," I growl. "I lost her and I don't know what to fucking do."

"Go through her stuff maybe she left clues or something," Brody said butting in the conversation. I go upstairs and see Charlotte holding a sleeping Tala.

"Bring her to Sophia's old room," I order she nods and carefully carries Tala to the room making sure she doesn't wake her up. I tear open the closet looking for places she could leave anything.

I open my beside drawer and it's empty. I go over to Sophia's side. I pull open her drawer and see a pile of envelopes. Each one had a name on it. I see my name and rip it open.

Titus,

I know you're freaking out and raging but I need you to calm down and focus on what your about to read. I gave myself to them willingly. I can't let you and everyone go through the torture I went. I've been through it but it'll be worse if you went through it because you're not immune to silver and wolfsbane. You need to find me. Go to my old pack and bring your best trackers and warriors. From the edge of the southwest border of Blue Crescent and run 27 miles straight. You'll find a clearing of trees. It'll be bigger than a natural clearing of trees. You won't smell anything but you need to walk through the spell. It's an invisibility spell. When you first cross they'll be no guards at the border but a lot of traps. You need trackers for that. There will be a big building in the middle, the "pack house". There will be 7 entrances around leading underground. I'll be in one of them. You need to bring you wolf forward to find me. Two guards will be guarding my prison. Kill them quickly so they don't have time to link anyone. Be careful as you come down. The witch Delphine will set up traps. There is no bars to my prison. You won't like what you see when you find me but you need to stay calm. If you save me, prepare for war.

Love,

Sophia

Brody and Jacob has come into my room while I was reading my letter. They had found theirs and were reading them. There was one to her family, Tala everyone. Had she been doing this while I was busy.

"We need to get her now," Jacob says. "I've contacted Nikolai, Seth, and Nate."

"We need to leave now," Brody said throwing his letter onto the bed. He looked furious. Brody is an outgoing guy and I haven't seen him this mad ever.

"There better not be a scratch on her when I arrive," I growl as I storm out of our room. Blue Crescent is 40 minutes away in wolf form so we needed to leave now.

I took out my phone and dialed Terry's number. I don't know why I have that bastards number but I need to get permission to enter his pack.

"Do you need anything Alpha Titus?" His annoying voice asked through the phone.

"I need to cross through you pack borders. We won't be much of a hassle," I respond meekly. The three warriors Jacob called came through the front door.

"You're not invited at Blue Crescent," he growls through the phone. I let out a growl at him.

"Well unless you want Sophia to get hurt further I recommend you let us in your pack," I threaten. Brody and Jacob walked out of our room.

"What the hell happened to her," he said. His voice softened at the worry for her.

"I guess you won't find out since we can't cross the pack border," I growl.

"Fine but I want you to explain everything to me once you enter my pack." His voice regained his harshness from before before hanging up.

"We leave now," I order. Nikolai, Seth, and Nate nodded. Nikolai was one of our best warriors we have. Seth and Nate were natural born trackers, the best.

"Listen to my every order. We do this swiftly and get out quickly," I explain. "They are strong so do not underestimate anyone. Remember what I teach in training."

"Stay close and move quick," I order bad walk outside and shift into my wolf. I wanted rage on everyone and everything in my way but Sophia is my first priority.

My wolf was on edge and furious. Everyone shifted into their wolf and I took off. Throughout the whole run, all I could think about was Sophia. What if she was hurt? What if it was worse?

My wolf was angered by all my thoughts. He was angry that he couldn't sense Sophia.

I felt my wolf enter Blue Crescent and everyone else followed behind. I didn't have time to talk to Terry, my only focus was Sophia. The mutt can challenge me later if he'd like but I'll always put Sophia before anything.

I ran through the pack and to the southwest border.

"27 miles southwest straight then we find the traps Sophia talked about," I told everyone through the link. Their wolves nod and I take off. I heard a howl from their pack house but I had already passed the border again.

My wolf wasn't exhausted at all. He was filled with adrenaline. We ran fast and swiftly, dodging trees quickly and not stumbling.

"That's a huge ass clearing," Jacob says as we approached it. We were here. "I Don't smell anything." Jacob's wolf lifted his nose in the air to try to catch a scent.

"You won't smell anything the witch hid their scent. Shift back and find clothes quickly," I order. I found clothes fast and threw them on. We stood in front of the clearing and I held my hand out.

It touched something that wasn't there. The air in front of me seemed to ripple at my touch like water would.

"What the he'll was that," Brody asked.

"The entrance."

I watched Titus being held down. I wish I could've done something to help him but I couldn't let them hurt him further.

"Leave him don't hurt him further or I won't let you take me this easily," I growl. Josh sighed and gave Delphine a look. She sighed and a circle of fire surrounded us.

Titus has hurt and anger in his eyes. He looked lost and confused. I could see the reflection of the flame in his beautiful eyes I get lost in.

Delphine started to chant louder and suddenly I wasn't in the forest watching Titus anymore. I was in the prison I was held in. My throat closed up as I saw to hooks on the wall with chains hanging from them.

"Tie her up to the wall," Josh ordered. He pushed me onto the ground and my hand went to my stomach instinctively. Two unrecognizable rogues grabbed my arms. I gasped for my breath as I got closer to the wall.

Flashbacks and memories flooded my memories as I got closer. I let out a scream and pulled my arms out of the rouges' hold and punched one of their faces and kneed the other one where the sun doesn't shine. The other guard rouges. Came up to me and shoved me up onto the wall. The silver cuffs wrapped around my wrists.

"Let me out," I screamed at the top of my lungs. I heard scraping on the wall of the stairway that leads to my prison.

"Well Sophia," Adrian's voice chuckled. "No one can hear you screaming. You're trapped here with me forever." He turns the corner and I see a knife in his hand.

"You'll stay here and become my mate and rule the rouge kingdom with me," he smiles.

"Good luck trying to mark me with another male's mark on me," I snarl. He chuckles and walks right up to my face and pokes the knife into my throat.

"Well, Sophia, the only way to get rid of a male's mark is for the male to die. So the way you saw Titus before Delphine teleported you here is the last thing you'll remember him for. Kneeling for Josh, the beta of the rouge kingdom," he laughs. I struggled against the chains and tried to kick my way out of them but the knife was so close to puncturing skin.

"You won't lay a hand on him. Do not bring my mate into this," I yell into his face. He laughs and releases the life from my neck.

"I won't lay a hand on him but I will get someone to kill him," he smirks. I move forward shoving my face into his and growling. My wolf was coming to the surface. I felt my eyes glow and my canines grow.

"Watch you temper mutt," he growled. He slashed the knife on my arm and my wolf let out a whimper. The silver doesn't affect my human form but it does to my wolf. She retreats back and I hang back on the wall.

"You will learn to respect me and treat me with respect."
