Parker's POV:
(Just to note, Parker is under the impression that the rogue that took him is named Colin Ackers, not Calvin Mathews.)
I groaned at the pounding in my head as I woke up. The black magic Colin used really messed with my head. Which is the draw back to it. I opened my eyes and looked around Ryan's room. I was alone and the door was cracked open. It was dark outside now meaning I had been out for a while. I sat up and ignored my head spinning as I checked the time on the clock on the nightstand. 10:30 PM. I had an hour and a half to figure out how to escape and get to no man's land between the packs. I got off the bed and went into the closet where I changed into tight black sweatpants, a black sweatshirt, running sneakers, and a black beanie. I would have to sneak out of the house and with it being night the darker clothes could help me blend in more. The main issue? If I crossed the border too early, Ryan would sense it and be on me quickly. I don't know where exactly his borders end. I also couldn't risk going through the house.Based on what I was asked before I passed out, when Colin had made the connection to me, I was saying everything out loud. So they all probably are aware of what happened. I snuck my way to the open door and strained my hearing.
"We have no idea what kind of effects black magic is going to have on him, Ryan." Derek spoke.
"I know that! You don't think I am worried about that? I am also worried about what he said. Calvin is planning something and if Parker doesn't do it, he's going to use your mate as bait to get it."
Derek growled. "I fucking heard what he said. Violet is here and she is safe. Matt and Carla are guarding her and your pack doctor is going to give her the scent blocker so we can hide her. He won't get her. I refuse to allow Parker to do whatever it is that this guy wants. I wasn't there to protect him when he was kidnapped the first time and I will not sit back and let him sacrifice himself because he's worried about all of us. He won't come back the same, if he comes back at all."
"I am not suggesting he does what Calvin want's. I won't let him. Which is why I am saying we need to stop fighting and come up with a plan. We can sedate him again if we absolutely have to and get him and Violet to safety but he's still out and I have no idea what he was told to do. How do we prepare for something when we have no idea what is going on? I won't willingly risk him or Violet. I wouldn't ask you to do so either."
I held in my growl as I backed away from the door. I am so fucking sick and tired of people drugging me. I have no idea who Calvin is and I don't care. I will not risk Violet for my own life. Nor will I allow anyone else. I crept to the balcony doors and slowly opened it before stepping out and gently closing it. I waited a few seconds after the door quietly clicked shut to make sure no one heard and when there was no one rushing into the room I turned to the railing. I quickly cut the part of my mate bond that would allow Ryan to know I was in pain before looking over the railing and contemplating what to do. I was higher up than the roof of Derek's packhouse that I broke my leg jumping from but there was no way to climb down anything from here. I slowly climbed over the railing and cautiously lowered myself to be hanging from the bottom of the balcony.
I waited until my body stopped swinging before counting to three and letting go. I landed roughly on my feet and fell backwards as I grabbed my right hip and knee in pain. I let out a whimper at the pain before pulling myself to my feet. I made my way to the forest, rushing even though pain radiates up and down my leg with each step. I glanced at my phone as I walked through the forest towards what I hoped would be the correct border. 11:40 PM. I was cutting it close. I froze as a siren rang out through the forest. Ryan must have noticed I was gone. I started a run, limping the whole way before shuddering as the foriegn feeling of crossing a pack's border hit me. No... I was too early. That's going to be a beacon to Ryan.
