Sapphire POV
Once the fighting has stopped everyone helps round up any rogues that are still alive so that they can be taken to the dungeons. The dead bodies are piled up and burned. So far I haven't seen any pack members that have been killed. Which I am pleased about.
It is airily quiet, and I stand still and try to listen out for any noise that shouldn't be there. In the distance, I can hear whimpering and take off running towards it.
Mark I can hear some whimpering coming from the forest.
Wait for Zavier and me!
I only have to wait less than a minute before they arrive. They both of them look exhausted as I feel.
We head into the forest and follow the sound. As we get closer my heart rate picks up because it sounds like a female is in distress.
Mark and Zavier walk slightly in front of me. I shake my head at them, Don't they realize I can take care of myself by now?
"Stay behind us" Mark looks over his shoulder at me, eyeing me up from head to toe. It is like he is making sure I am not injured. I suppress a groan while I follow them.
"Fine." I huff out, I'm too tired to argue with them both. When we get closer to the whimpering I can see a female lying on the ground trying to crawl towards the pack house.
"Harper" Zavier runs towards her. She looks a mess, both legs are smashed and pointing in funny angels. When she sees us she relaxes a little bit and closes her eyes. Zavier very carefully lifts her and runs with her to the pack hospital, we both follow closely behind him. When we get to the hospital I realize that there are over 10 pack members badly injured.
A nurse comes up to us and asks Zavier to put Harper on the bed in front of him, he gingerly places her down on it minding her twisted legs.
We ask if they need extra help, but she tells us we are not required.
When we leave the hospital Conner comes over and asks to talk to Zavier in private. They walk a bit further down the road quietly talking to each other.
Their conversation looks like it is starting to get heated. I can feel wave after wave of anger, frustration, and surprise rolling off Zavier.
He finds the nearest trash can and kicks it about 20 meters. "Fuck!"
"Mark, Conner, and Sapphire in my office now!" he storms off, and we follow him. I can feel how angry he is and it scares me.
When we get to his office he pours a glass of whisky and skulls it back. Conner looks as equally infuriated.
"What is going on Zavier?" I ask him, he looks at us and sits behind his desk, and the three of us sit in front of him.
He drags his hands down his face. "During the rogue attack, someone broke into the dungeon and released all the prisoners."
"Fuck! It must have been a distraction." Marks yells out, pulling me onto his lap.
"Exactly!, we had some very dangerous rogues locked up and Amy who threatened to kill Sapphire," Zavier explained.
"The rogues got pretty close to the pack house before anyone was alerted." Mark bangs his hands on the table as well.
"Only someone familiar with the system could access the codes to the dungeon, and know where the secret panels are located to release the doors to all the cells." Zavier takes another swig of his drink
Why would someone go to the trouble of staging a rogue attack to break into the dungeon? None of this makes any sense. A lot of rogues died today before inflicting pain on our pack.
"I can understand taking the dangerous prisoners, but why would they take Amy?" Conner voices the questions that are running through my head.
"We still don't know who took Sapphire?" Zavier slumps back in his chair. We were hoping to have some leads by now, but nothing, this is very frustrating.
We spent the next few hours going over what happened tonight. How did they get inside the territory without anyone noticing and why did they take all the prisoners?
We leave the meeting with more questions than answers.
"Are you ok my love?" Mark's voice sounds so sexy, he has a concerned look on his face and raises one eyebrow at me.
"Sorry, I must have spaced out?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Im trying to work out who is behind all of this"
"Try not to let it bother you too much, I know that Zavier is working around the clock on it." He lightly brushes his lips on mine. I wrap my hand around his neck and lean my head on his chest.
I smile at him, and we lock eyes, I can't help but be pulled into the depths of his green eyes.
