Evie's POV

"Please calm down Eve, you're going to burn a whole in the ground with the pacing." Ashton put his hand on my shoulder.

"Do. Not. Tell. Me. To. Calm. Down." I growled at him. Yes, I was pacing, but that was my little cousin he had. Well not that little, I mean she's 19, but still. He got to my family, MY FAMILY.

"Okay, okay, sorry you're right. But we will get her back." I signed and put my head on Ashton's chest.

"I know, but I'm worried. It has been 2 hours since we heard anything." After I called Alex, we tried tracing the call, but it was no use. The phone was either turned off or broken, so there was no signal anymore. We even sent out scouts to look for her, but I just had a picture, nothing with her smell on it, so that was no use either. So now we were just waiting till we heard anything, and till Alex would arrive in the morning. Tomas and my dad were also trying to help, by gathering all the information we had on this Marco. Apparently, he lived just outside of the border, but had a huge following of rogues, so we couldn't just go over there, that why we were still waiting for Alex. We also finally put a face to the name, and he looked like the creep he was. He had a huge scar of a claw mark on his face. We also learned that he lost his mate a few years ago, which made him mad. Not mad as in angry, well that too, but mad as in crazy. For some reason he now thinks I should be with him, and we still don't know why. What we do know, is that Lili is not safe with him.

"Come on, why don't we go to bed, it is no use to wait now. We have can go look further tomorrow morning when Alex arrives and with the daylight." I nodded as Ashton broke the silence, I wanted to protest, but knew he was right. I walked over to our bedroom and changed in my pajama's, not even caring that Ashton was in the room. After changing I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, as I looked in the mirror, I saw silent tears streaming down my face. "It's going to be alright, okay?" Ashton hugged me from behind and gave me a kiss on the side of my head. I leaned into his touch. I don't know what I would do without him now. He is my comfort; without him I would probably have broken down by now.

"Thank you." I whispered, after we were done brushing our teeth.

"What for?" I looked at me through the mirror.

"Just for holding me together." He gave me a small smile and took my hand as we walked over to the bed. He held up the blanket for me to get in bed, once he tucked me in, he went over to the other side of the bed and got in himself. I rolled over to him and laid my head on his chest.

"Goodnight love, try to get some sleep." He said and gave me a kiss on my head.

After a rather restless night, where I kept twisting and turning, I finally got out of bed, when the clock finally said a normal time, well sort of, 5 am

After a rather restless night, where I kept twisting and turning, I finally got out of bed, when the clock finally said a normal time, well sort of, 5 am. I went over to the bathroom and took a short shower. After getting dressed, I saw Ashton looking at me, creep.

"Just admiring the view." I heard Ashtons voice in my head. "That is still weird." I laughed.

"Well, it made you laugh so mission accomplished." I frowned, thinking about how Lili must be feeling now.
