Chapter 100
“And?” I impatiently urged.
“And I went inside to find Silver and let her know that there might be a break-in, but she wasn’t there,” he told me.
“What the hell do you mean she wasn’t there?” I asked through my teeth, a surge of anger coursing through me.
“I mean, she’s gone, Alpha. I walked not the parlor and there are signs of struggle p>
“What kind of struggle p>
“The glass table was broken and there’s blood on the ground,” he told me.
I nearly dropped the phone right then and there. I met Shirley’s eyes and my chest tightened.
“Find out where she is,” I barked before I hung up the phone.
I dialed Beta Leo’s phone number and pressed the phone to my cheek.
“Is everything okay?” Shirley asked, looking worried. I didn’t bother answering her, I turned my back towards her and waited for Leo to answer.
“Alpha?” Leo asked.
“Leo, the rogues took Silver,” I said, breathlessly as I had just run a marathon. “I need you to find out where they’d take her and why p>
“I was just about to call you, Alpha. It seems there was only one rogue who attacked Shirley, the others have been waiting and hiding. We picked up their scent but it’s faint enough that tracking it is difficult.” “Do you think the attack on Shirley was just a distraction”?” I asked.
“I was thinking the same thing,” he replied. “I’ll find out what I can and get back to you p>
I hung up without another word.
“Silver was taken?” Shirley gasped, quickly getting out of the hospital bed.
“Yes,” I said and started towards the door. “I need to find her p>
“I have a tracker’s nose, I can help,” she said urgently.
I didn’t wait for her to follow; Silver needed me.
The pounding in my head made it impossible to think straight. The blood that pooled from my head down my cheeks was now dried and caked onto my flesh, making me uncomfortable and itchy.
“He’s going to kill you for hurting her,” I heard a gruff voice close by saying. I felt arms wrapped around my waist and I was slung over someone’s shoulder like I was a sack of potatoes.
Silver’s POV
The scent of fresh wood and pine indicated that I was somewhere in the forest, and it felt like I was on the move. I tried to open my eyes to gather my surroundings, but everything hurt, and I feared what might see. I figured the only thing I had left on my side was the element of surprise. If they knew I was now awake, that would be taken away from me. So, I remained limp in this rogue’s arms with my eyes squeezed tight.
“He’ll have to get over it,” the rogue holding me huffed. “I didn’t know how else to get her out of that house p>
“The boss was clear when he said he wanted her unharmed,” the first rogue muttered. “I’m going to tell him I had nothing to do with this p>
“Fine,” the second rogue said
through his teeth; their voices
sounded as if they swallowed glass,
and it gave me a shiver down my spine “But we need to hurry and get her over the border before the Alpha comes and finds his precious little wife p>
“You don’t honestly think he gives a shirt about her, do you? She’s wolfless,” the first rogue practically laughed. “The most powerful and strongest Alpha in the world isn’t going to come for a wolfless female p>
“She’s still his wife,” the rogue holding me reminded him.
“Both of you just shut up and keep moving,” a different rogue that sounded further ahead hissed.
I wondered how many there were; so far, I counted 3, but there could be more. Someone, their boss, wanted me, and they wanted me alive. My question was why? Who was their boss and what did they want from me?
