SIXTEEN
- Zaira's P.O.V. - - - - - - - - - -
Why?
That's all I can ask myself. Why did it have to be me? Why did Zarai get stuck in this with me? Why did Jamie and Jake take a part in this too?
The bastard said it was all planned. Yeah, the one who hit me. He told us his name was Jerrick Jones, but he will always be the bastard to me.
Apparently, he knows about our gifts. Whats stupid though, is hes taking after his father, as he says. Whats even more idiotic is that he plans to use us as a weapon. And this will just throw you off the idiotic level to just insane. He wanted to mate one of us!
I dont even know how long we've been here. I dont even know if its night or day. All I've seen since then is this ugly ass cell, the bastard, and the others.
I've had to deal with Jake's nonstop apologies. I dont know how many times I've told him it was fine. It isnt even his fault and hes punishing himself.
Including Jamie. Jamie has been nothing but a river with her tears. She blamed herself, which is wrong. Even if she wasn't Jaces sister, id still choose to search for her.
Zarai has been the same like me. Wanting to rip off the bastards head and wanting to just return home. Im mad at her though. Apparently, the 'third sister' that the bastard was talking about, is true. She knew about it and never told me! We had a sister, a third to our twin. Triplets. And her name was Zaria. Another Z . A coincidence? Heck no. Our parents were just sick in the head.
Why Jerrick wanted her, is fucking unbelievable. Because he cant mate us, he wants her found. He thinks were hiding her! What an idiot.
Your probably wondering why he hasnt tried to take us or do anything. Reason is, He used to have a mate. Why shes not here? Well, she rejected his ass . Serves him right! But im glad he didn't try, he even said it was because he respected the mate bonds. Stupid, because he still wants to steal our sister from her mate.
Why I know so much? Well, this bastard just gives me an earful. Either that, or a beating. Of course, mostly a beating because I cuss him out. What? I cant beat the shit outta him. Minus well, speak my mind.
But whats mostly been on my mind is Jace. My mate. Sadness overwhelmed me as I thought about him. I missed him. Alot. Why didn't I just listen? Why did I have to be so stubborn?
I want to be able to wake up to his beautiful face, not this crappy cell. To be able to feel the tingles I cherished so much. To look into my favorite hazel eyes and tangle my hands into his strawberry blonde hair. It didn't help either whenever I looked at Jamie.
I sighed and looked over to where everyone else lay, all asleep. Are they even coming for us?
I hope so.
- Lincoln's P.O.V. - - - - - - - - - - -
What have I done?
I kidnapped an Alphas mate. Even a Betas. That's immediate sentence to death, if the council found out. That's if the council found me before the pissed off mates .
I know I did something bad. It must be hell for those poor girls. I didn't know how it is for mates, but I did respect it greatly. As a matter of fact, im waiting for her. But this .. I cant do this anymore.
That's why im currently driving to BlackMane Pack. Alpha Jones is just too much. I understood his problems, but this? No.
His mate rejected him. And he went suicidal. But with our crazy werewolf benefits, he healed. I stopped him before he can try silver or overdosing himself with wolfsbane. Then, the only thing that kept him alive was looking for these girls. But, without his mate, he was just a coldhearted guy. He wasnt the guy I grew up with anymore. That guy died when Mary rejected him. I saw it myself, and I even feared him afterwards.
But I wont help him with this any longer. Finding these girls was a sick hobby for his father and it became his.
I pulled up into the the dirt road and gassed it, making rocks fly from behind me. I knew Jerricks plans. If the third sister isn't found in a matter of days, he'll just retrieve the two he has now's powers. I dont know how he plans to, but I have a feeling it isn't good.
Their pack house came into view, and I saw the flashes of white in the trees, with wolves emerging already watching me for attack . I pulled up into the driveway and parked. I hopped out and didnt even have time to breath . I was flung to my car and held by the throat by Soon-to-be Alpha Jace.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?, " he growled. If Jerrick scared me, fuck. This guy was frightening. My inner wolf whined and cowered under the authority and I craned my neck in submission. Well, tried, since he had a death-grip on my neck .
I was starting to have trouble breathing then someone spoke up. "Jace. Put him down, " a melodic voice sang out, making my wolf jump in acknowledgement. The breeze blew, bringing me the most pleasant and mouthwatering scent .
It was like cucumber with melon, and a hint of cherry blossom. It smelt like pure heaven. Jace released and I gladly breathed in more of the intoxicating scent. My eyes landed on a brunette that took my breath away.
She was the third sister. I knew that. But her eyes. Those eyes I was now looking into. The ones I want our pups to have. They were so unique and beautiful.
I felt whole. As if a part of me I never knew was missing, was just returned by looking at this goddess. And she was all that mattered for now, and forever .
She gasped as she looked back at me, and I cherished the lovely sound. She knew.
Mate, my wolf howled happily. I found her. I finally found my mate.
- Zaria's P.O.V. - - - - - - - - - -
Somethings up. I cant find them. Why?
Someone must have disrupted our bond. I cant feel them. I cant even reach them.
Its been three days already. Nothing. It doesnt help that Jace is always on my ass. You explain everything to the guy and all he hears is that I can find them, and he'll never leave you alone! He is my sisters mate, but damn. Their alike in so many ways, even I know that and I haven't met her in person. Only mentally.
Malik is a migraine reliever though. He isnt persistent, but he does worry for his mate . Understandable.
'Someone is crossing territories!' Kenneth shouted in our mind link. I shot up from the counch in tthe living room, same as Jace and Malik. "What? Did you find something?, " Jace asked hopefully.
"Someone is coming onto our lands, " I replied, already starting for the door. It could be someone with info on my sisters. I hope so. I didn't ring all Alphas for word.
Before I can get out the door, Malik stopped me. "No. Let us go out first. They could be here to take you too, " he shook his head, blocking me from the door.
"Malik, you know I can handle myself. Dont test me, " I growled. He raised an eyebrow and pointed at me then the floor, " Stay here. "
I sighed and stepped back. He gave me a satisfied smile and followed Jace out. Hes been very protective of me, he even admitted it. Even if he hardly knew me. His words were:
"I know the twins. Zarai and Zaira. Your their sister and if your anything like them, your family. "
I sprinted over to the window and looked out. A black sleek sportscar pulled up. Hey, I dont know cars. I ain't a fanatic, but it was pretty.
I looked out for Jace and Malik, but weirdly I couldnt see them. The car parked and a raven black haired guy stepped out. My wolf was very jumpy for some reason, but I didnt know why. I wanted to get a good look at him, but I could oonly see the back of his head from where im at.
In the blink of an eye, the mystery guy was taken by surprise by Jace, who had him up by his neck. My wolf was growling and clawing for control to save this guy. Why? I dont know either.
I didn't even have time to think about my answer as I dashed out the pack house. "Jace. Put him down, " I said.
I still couldnt see his face with Jace's big body blocking him from my view. Jace let him go, but my wolf still wanted his head for touching this guy. When he moved, it was like my world stopped. Like it never began until I found him.
His raven black hair falling into his butter yellow eyes. Those eyes that showed admiration and shock. His long nose and strong jaw giving him the most handsomest face. His lips looking kissable, just begging for me to kiss them.
The breeze blew, presenting me his wonderful scent. Kiwi and pomegrante, with a hint of lychee. It smelt so good.
My god, he was sexy. He wore a white plaided button-up that gave me a small view of his well-built figure, making me ache with need. Imagine if he was shirtless! I gasped as my wolf howled, Mate.
I looked back into his eyes and got lost into those butter orbs. I've never seen eyes like them before.
"Zar?, " Malik's voice brang me back. I blinked and forced myself to look away from his eyes. I turned to see Malik looking at me worriedly and shooting glares at my mate. My wolf growled, but I bit back the growl that wanted to erupt from my chest.
A growl broke out from my mate, sending tingles down my back. He was next to me in a flash and wrapped his arms around me possessively, " Off limits. " The tingles gave me butterflies.
Malik rolled his eyes and raised his hands in surrender sarcastically, " You better take your hands off her before her- "
"LET GO OFF HER!, " Zaxon's voice boomed. Growls erupted from everywhere, the pack, my mate, the other pack, Zaxon. It was an earful. I was ripped away from my mates arms and into ones of my brothers.
"No! Zax, let me go!, " I screamed, trying to get out of his hold and back to my mate. He didn't let up, and I watched as my mate was being restrained by Malik and Jace.
"Zax, Hes my mate!, " I screamed once more. That made everyone freeze. Zax looked back at me, boring his eyes into mine. My wolf growled at the disrespect and I kept my chin up high. "What did you say?, " Zax asked emotionlessly.
I cleared my throat and spoke loud and clear for everyone to hear, " I said, Hes my mate. "
I looked back to where my mate was standing and met his eyes, to confirm it to him too.
"He's my mate "

Sorry guys! I've had cheerleading practice everyday after school and alot of events, so I was pretty busy this week. I spent most of my saturday, writing for you, while cleaning up a house.
I did a little mix-up in there for you. Lincoln is Zaria's mate. Just a refresher, Lincoln is the Beta of the bad Alpha. Alpha Jones. As you now know, Jerrick.
Anyway, Sorry for my bad grammar or errors. My cellphone doesnt do spell checker or that stuff. So, that also means, those who read this before I go on the computer, I wont have any music for this chapter yet. I hope this is long enough for now.
