Unrejected Mates (Black Moon Book Two)

Chapter 44: "Siblings"

Rob POV

"You can torture me as much as you want!" my mother screamed. "I don't know where their hideout is on purpose. Terry will sell both your brat and your whore! I'm sure many will be willing to stick their cocks in her to see if she can give them such a special offspring!"

Mikkeli sank his claws into her neck; Roseanne screamed but didn't move. I didn't scream or move, yet I felt this overwhelming sadness. 

No matter what she had done, she was my mother. 

She was my mother, and her dead child was more important to her than her two living ones. Because of her, my mate and my child almost died, and till the very end, she showed no remorse. And yet she was my mother... I held sobbing Roseanne in my arms and felt tears running down my face too.

The chaos when we came back was unimaginable. The moment I felt Kyle dying, Mikkeli tried to reach Hannah and failed, and that's when both of us knew that we had been lied to and failed to protect those we had sworn to protect.

Kyle could stay awake for only a few minutes before he went to sleep again. Making sure that his alright, I left him in the care of Gideon and went to the Alpha's study. 

I knock and enter.

Mikkeli glares at me, but I see nothing but despair on his face. My mate and child are safe, and his not.

"Kyle has woken up but sleeps again. Gideon said that since he had woken up, he should be out of danger. Thank you so much," I say, looking at David Nightingale.

Besides him in the room are Gamma, my sister, Dalton, and Hayden, with his arm in a casket and head warriors. Marc is still in the infirmary. When the hunter's unit surrounded them in the forest, he protected Hayden when Gabriel forced Hank into the trunk. He is wounded but will be better.

I sit next to Dalton as Hayden starts talking again:

"I notified the Council, and they are full of remorse. They admitted that Blythe personally asked to be assigned to the Black Moon case, and they thought it was strange that he was so persistent, but they didn't find it suspicious. Instead, they instantly put a bounty on Blythe's head and promised to notify each pack in the world that has happened, so I think everybody will be aware of Hannah's disappearance."

"I notified all my allies, and everybody will be on high alert, but I'm afraid we can do only two things now," says Mikkeli. "Patrick, you are in charge of the team looking into the black markets bidding 24/7 since now. The moment they start bidding on Hannah and our child, I must know. David will help you with that. Dalton, prepare the search teams. Kyle suggested once that they could hide in an abandoned mine or factory, we have checked the closest ones, and we must check every single one of the rest in the state and later in the country. All the warriors must be prepared to leave if necessary in a matter of minutes if we find something. Hayden, you are in charge of the pack till I find Hannah."

Scared, I haven't seen my Alpha so frightened as he is now. The door suddenly opens, and little Rosie enters crying and screaming that she wants Hannah. Mikkeli instantly takes her into his arms and tries to shush her, for now, in vain. 

Celia POV

As I limp after Terry to wherever he takes me, I try to look around as much as possible. It seems we are in some abandoned factory. The building is old and rusty, it stinks with garbage, and I don't know what else. It's cold in here.

 We walk slowly because I limp, and Terry doesn't comment on it. I still shake, but more than on Terry, I'm focusing on Hank. As he has taught me, I focus only on him, and somehow I can feel his heartbeat, pain, and relief because he can feel me too.
