Chapter 22

~Carson’s POV~

They’d shot me with a dart gun.

A dart gun!

Like I was some kind of bloody animal and transported me to a new facility. New in the sense that it’s not where I was before but otherwise it was just as ratty, cold and dank as the first place. At least my prison was bigger. Gotta thank God for small favors.

I sat on the floor my head resting on one of the metal bars and my eyes on the one guard in the room who was shifting nervously under my stare.

Moron, I was trapped behind bars with no way of getting out and he was still afraid of me. Well he should be because if I ever got out of this place there was no way in hell I was allowing any of these freaks to live. They’d messed with the wrong Alpha.

My stomach growled as it had been doing  all day The last time I’d eaten was just before I’d been abducted and as a result I was getting weaker by the hour. I guess there was no point in feeding someone you were just gonna kill.

I still wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but it felt like days and I missed Laken terribly.

Laken.

I felt the familiar pain in the region of my heart at the thought of my mate. Where was he? Was he scared? Did he know what happened? Was he…Was he even alive? So many times since I’d made my choice I’d thought I was going insane thinking about him. If he was dead then I wanted to die too. I welcomed it with open arms. Even if I managed to break out of here, the pack meant nothing to me without my mate.

As I’d done so many times before I chocked back a sob, there was no way in hell I was going to give the guard the satisfaction of seeing me break down. If I was going to die I’d go with some semblance of dignity.

~Laken’s POV~

We were walking through a dimly lit passageway now, Lucas had his hands in his pockets and his head down not even bothering to look where he was going. He still hadn’t answered my question and my heart rate still hadn’t gone back to normal. He was hiding something and it had to do with Carson. He said they were taking him somewhere.

Who was they? Where was Carson and why was anyone taking him anywhere? This was bad I could feel it to my core; I wasn’t gonna like the outcome of this. I brought my hand up to my mouth and captured a nail between my teeth. I was never a nail biter until today, the constant worrying was starting to get to me and Lucas’s silence certainly wasn’t helping.

We stopped at the last door at the end of the passageway and I watched as Lucas knocked twice, paused and knocked three times. It was some kind of code I guessed. The door swung open and I froze, a guy was standing there with a M16A4 , I knew the type because my dad collected guns for some reason.

I took a step back. I knew something was up. The guy was decked out in bullet proof vest, combat boots, the whole shebang.

Lucas looked back at me then nodded his head towards the open door, I shook my head and took another step back, I never liked guns.

He grabbed by arm before I could take yet another step back and pulled me roughly through the door

“Now listen to me, this isn’t the time for you to disobey orders. You need to do exactly what you’re told from now on ok?” he said it not harshly but like it was very important that I understood what he was saying.
