Haven's pace had slowed down by now. They had been running for hours. Haven could see a small opening. She felt really tired.

" I think we should stop here and rest?" Haven heard Kira suggest.. She nodded. She felt really exhausted.

" I'm hungry" She whined. She hadn't eaten since yesterday. And with all the running she just did, Haven could feel the strength leaving her body. She shifted back into her human form , walking weakly. Her whole body ached.

Haven looked down at her long gown. She would have some difficulty walking around with this. She reached down and caught the hem of her gown. So far, this was one of the most beautiful gown she had ever worn.

Haven sighed as she held it tight, ' I'm sorry Alicia' She silently said before ripping it off. The once beautiful ball gown now turned into a short gown stopping just above her knees.

" Not bad" Kira commented as they looked at the gown. Haven giggled.

" I'm tired " She yawned walking into the open clearing. She needed to find somewhere to lay her head.

' This looks nice' Haven thought seeing a place near a big tree. Atleast she could rest here for a while. Haven walked over and settled down, ready to sleep. She yawned again, using her hands to support her head as she laid down. It felt so uncomfortable but she didn't have a choice did she?

Her eyelids felt heavy, she was really tired. " Sleep well Haven" Kira's melodious voice sounded in her mind.

" Goodnight Kira" She replied lazily feeling her consciousness drifting in and out.

Strangely, the last thing she thought about before her eyes finally closed was him.

Why him?

=============

Tristan balled his fists angrily as he barged into his room. His jaw was clenched , anger visible on his face.

Where did she go?! Where the hell is Haven?!

Tristan was sure he had seen her. He was very sure she was the one. So where did she go?!

Tristan couldn't believe it. How could he be so blind?! He felt like punching himself hard in the face for not being able to recognize Haven when she was right there in front of him. How could he have been so stupid?

He ran his hands through his blonde hair feeling as though he was runking mad.

" Argh!!!" Tristan yelled grabbing a vase from the table and smashing it hard against the wall. Where the fuck did she go?!

He walked towards the bed dejectedly. Tristan felt as if he's lost everything. His knees weakened before they finally gave way, Tristan falling heavily to the ground.

" Haven!!! Where the fuck are you?!" He growled his black eyes turned shades darker. At the same moment, the door creaked opened as Mika catwalked into the room.

Her brows scrunched together seeing the mess Tristan had made.

" What happened in here?" Mika frowned looking at her mate who was kneeling at the foot of the bed. Tristan had his back to Mika, he didn't even bother paying any attention to her.

" Tristan? What's wrong?" She approached him. She could sense her mate was not in a good mood. " You have to calm down Tristan."

She crouched down, raising her hands as she tried touching him but she got a low growl in response.

" Did you find Haven?" She asked, her lips slowly curled up into a smile. Tristan couldn't see this as he had his eyes glued to the floor.

" You'll find her soon, don't worry Tristan. I know Haven wouldn't be able to stay away from you for long" She said trying to comfort him. Mika's eyes drifted towards a bottle she had kept on the bedside table.

She stood up and walked over to the small table. Picking it up, she poured the content into a glass cup. She turned, her eyes landing on her mate. She walked back to where she had left him.

" Here.. " She offered him the cup, smiling beautifully." You need it."

Seeing him ignore her, Mika's smile fell. " It's okay if you don't want to talk to me, I'll leave." She frowned, dropping the cup beside him as she stood up.

Mika stood there looking at Tristan for a while, a devilish smirk slowly plastered itself on her face.

' You won't be able to ignore me for much longer sweetheart, I promise' She smirked as she turned and left, closing the door gently behind her.

===========

A frown appeared on Haven's sleepy face as she felt a nudge on her right cheek, It felt as if something poked her. Ignoring it , she turned her head to the other side. She felt so exhausted that opening her eyes felt too much of a work for her.

Haven's brows suddenly scrunched together, something was wrong. Her eyes flew open only for her to meet with another pair of eyes which was looking down at her.

Haven's eyes flew wide open, shock registered all over her face as she tried to say something but of course, no words came out.

Even with the darkness, she could see the man with the ugly scar on his face, hovering right above her face as he stared at her. He had an evil grin on his face as his eyes roamed all over her body.

Behind him , about four other men stood, all smiling devilishly at Haven as though they've just caught a big fish.

Haven didn't know who these men were but she definitely knew their intentions were not good. She tried to move but she couldn't, it felt as though she was tied up.

" See , I told you to tie her up. Good thing you listened. seems like she's quite the warrior" She heard one of the men behind say while the others burst into laughter.

" What's a pretty girl like you doing all alone in the forest huh?" Another asked.

" Doesn't matter , it seems luck is really shining on us tonight aye? Look at what a beautiful woman we've found" The first man said chuckling.

" What do we do with her? " Another man asked

" What do we do? Have fun of course, right Roel?" The first man smirked looking at the man who had his head hovering over the girl they found.

" Right " Roel smirked, his hands tracing the soft cheeks of the woman beneath him.
