Alpha's Betted Bride.

CHAPTER 50.

-Aiden's POV-

We had scoured the woods and the town. Everyone had gathered by the school and for every warrior fluit came without good news, I was starting to believe the worst. "Anything?"

"No, Alpha...sorry,"

"No a single f*cking sign? How w is this possible?" I ran a hand through my hair.

"There's no scent, no nothing." They said and looked around confusedly.

"Look again,"

"But, Alpha-"

"LOOK AGAIN!" I shifted and started running back into the woods. That's when I tried the one thing I had been fearing to do.

*Cassy, can you hear me?

'Cassy!!

The only thing that would cause the mind link to not work would be if they're not within the pack borders. She wasn't here. She wasn't in the pack.

Round it up and meet at the house. Cassy's gone":

Yes Alpha'

I shifted back and got dressed outside. The winds were coming in strong and the rain was pouring.

Where the f*ck was she? She wouldn't be out there now in this weather. How could she just disappear like that?

Walking back into the house I had to remind myself to keep a straight face and my head high. Mr.Maler would be beyond himself with worry and we all needed to do what we could to replace her. head.

They all rose to their feet as we walked into the dining room.

"Alpha, have you found her?" My mother saw the answer and placed a hand on his shoulder. His eyes began to water and he shook his

"I'm sorry, Thomas, we haven't picked up a single trace from her. It would appear she's no longer on pack grounds." my hand and

"That is not possible, she wouldn't leave!" He said and stepped forward. My warriors were stepping closer but I raised my they stopped. Thomas was nothing but a worried father. He wasn't dangerous, just concerned.

He walked up to me and raised his finger, pointing it at my face.

He parted his lips and was about to speak but then he broke down crying. His head hit my chest and I placed my hands on his shoulders.

"We'll replace her. I promise you that we will replace her,"

I saw w's worried face in the back. She was staring down at the ground and breathing rapidly.

I believe we both knew who was behind this.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" I walked after Gabby who was heading out of the house. I had noticed her sneaking off earlier as everyone else sat down to eat.

"I have to replace her, Aiden."

"No, you don't. I'll take care of it. As soon as the storm has settled II send out the best warriors we have and I'll lead the search myself but you're not going anywhere." Her eyes narrowed. I could tell that she didn't actually want to go looking for the man who tortured her but she felt guilty. As though it was her fault that Cassy had been taken..

"She's my best friend. She came looking for me, do you expect me to do nothing now that she's the one in trouble?"

"Yes."

"Aiden, I can't sit idly by and wait for you to replace her. I'll lose my shit if I don't go,"

"And what do you plan on doing then, huh?"

"I don't know, I'll figure it out."

"This is exactly what they want, they want to draw you out," I stepped closer to her. Our bodies were brushing against each other and I had drawn to my fullest size. Gabby looked so small under me but she raised her head and those fragile eyes were looking into mine.

They widened and glistened from the tears that she didn't want to fall.

"They've succeeded." She said.

as still pouring.

She turned around and was about to walk out. She opened the door which flew up as the wind drew in and the rain was

I was standing back, watching and waiting for her to step back and close it up again but no, the stubborn girl walked outside and that's when I jumped on it. I grabbed her arm, pulled her back, and closed the door.

Gabby was already wet from that half-second outside.

"You're crazy." I said and held on to her arm.

"I have to replace her!"

"We don't e

t even know who has her!" I said.

I knew that Gabby wouldn't step down. I had to think quickly but there was nothing we could do until the storm had settled.

"Tpromise you, I will replace her. The second that the storm is over, I will go out there and look for her. Going now will amount to nothing because we won't be able to sniff anything out either way. Let me make some calls and in the morning we'll head out."

"And I'll come with you."

"No." I growled.

"Gabby," We tu

turned and watched her brothers coming out of the dining hall.

CHAPTER 50.

"We agree with Alpha Aiden. You should stay. They will take any and all opportunities to grab you. All of this is just a show, you're the real price and we all know what they're capable of. They have nothing to lose which means they'll do anything they deem necessary for their cause." Edmund said.

"We will go with Aiden in the morning but you need to stay here," Nick said.

They were not leaving much room for argument but I saw the shift in her eyes.

"You better bring her back," She said.

The storm only grew during the night and 1,was sitting in my office at three o'clock while everyone else had gone off to sleep. I had been calling around to different packs. One of them was the one who gave us information on Asher and his pack but they didn't have much to say this time. Apparently, they hadn't moved for a long time and nothing out of the ordinary had been seen.

They had been keeping close tabs on Asher's pack and they hadn't spotted anyone coming in or out.

"Son?" My father stood at the door.

"Hey."

"It's late, what are

e you doing up?"

"Trying rack my head around this whole ordeal. No matter how I put everything up I can't for the life of me figure out how they could take her. We should've noticed when they stepped onto our borders. I should've sensed it, the guards should've picked up on it. Someone should've been able to do something to stop this from happening."

"Think about the circumstances, son. Most times it is the factors we don't take into consideration that are most vital." He sat down on the chair in front of the desk.

оп

I did as he said, I started calculating all of the different external factors that could've added to the kidnapping.

"The guards were placed all around as usual. They had their posts. They would've sniffed out an intruder except...the storm, they couldn't smell if anyone came onto our borders. The rain would've messed with their vision. Nobody else was out, everyone came in as soon as the clouds drew together."

I looked up and looked eyes with my father.

"They planned it around the storm which means they would've waited and had to act fast. They're close,"
