Chapter Seventeen

MAX’S POV

I tried over and over again to stop Bret but Paul and Chad wouldn't let me near that door.

“Can’t you hear her?” I growled at them.

“We can’t do anything about it.” Chad said more bored then he should be holding me back.

"That's your sister, our sister. He can't do that to her." agian trying to get out of their hold. Paul looked like he was about to break, Chad looked bored, "Please Paul we need to protect her, thats our Kathering, my K," i whispered feeling like i failed her, "he is hurting her just because he is mad. She doesnt deserve this." I did fail her.

Before he could respond the doors open and their grips tightened.

I froze when I saw her beaten and naked as he dragged her out of his office and down the stairs. That is it, I yelled in my head. That was the last of my patience; I am done with this shit. K needed to get away from him and I will make sure that happens. I stormed out of the house and followed K’s scent to the spot where it was the strongest. I howled hoping that her mate would hear me and come here. I paced around the area for a damn hour, howling ever ten minutes until I smelt the scent that was always on K.

I changed into my human form and waited for him. As he got closer I smelt a different smell, a smell I only dreamed about, a smell that I would pick out anywhere. When he was only a few feet away I saw those eyes, he had her eyes, my mates eyes, he smelt strongly like my mate. Instead of talking to him I stromed up to him and grabbed him by the throat, “Where is she?” I demanded.

“K went home.” He said in his defense. I completely forgot about K but I had to find my mate first then I could get on with the K issue. “Not K, where is my mate.” I roared.

“I don’t know who your mate is.” He said. My anger and my hand on his throat wasn’t scaring him at all.

“I smell her on you.” I closed my eyes and sniffed him, this time my nose was pressed against his shirt. “You have her smell all over you. I demand to know where she is.”

“Have you lost your mind? I don’t have another females smell on me the only female I have been around is” he stopped speaking and his eyes went big, “Oh  no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.” he yelled the last no.

“What?” I demanded.

He sighed, “Come with me.”

I followed him for a while and when we finally stopped I could smell her, my heart started beating again, my mouth was watering. She was in this house. My mate was only on the other side of that door.

“Katerina.” This guy had just yelled my mates name. K never knew why I was always so over protective and so close to her. She never knew how much she reminded me of my mate. I started calling her K because saying Katherina all the time hurt my heart.

My heart dropped when she opened the door, frozen dead in her tracks when her eyes landed on me.

“Am I dreaming?” she whispered tears filling her eyes. Her voice sounded like music to my ears. She was just as beautiful as I remember and finally,  she was here only a few feet from me.

I shook my head and took steps forward quickly closing the distance between us, after my first step my beautiful mate ran and jumped in my arms her. Her tears were soaking my shirt. “It’s you, it’s really you.” She cried.

“It’s me sweetheart and I am never leaving you again.” I whispered into her ear. I closed my eyes, her hair was just as silky smooth as I remembered, that fire burning in my body was nothing like I had remembered. She was back, I had her again.

I bent my head back so I could look her in the eyes, “I love you.” I told her, “He told me he would kill you if I didn’t tell you to go and all this time without made me realized I was nothing without you, you are why I am alive today, the hope of seeing you again kept me going. All this time apart and I have loved you every second dreaming of seeing you again so I could tell you. And here you are, I love you.” My thumb gently and softly rubbed across her perfectly shaped pink lips, “we only got to spend a few moments together, but twenty one years apart has made me know I can’t live without you again, I love you my Katherina.”

“I have loved you from the first time I laid eyes on you.” She whispered.

After twenty one years of waiting my lips crushed hers and the world froze at that moment everything but her and I were here. My life was complete, I had my mate back. I growled when I heard someone clear his throat and break our kiss. Katherina giggled.

“Sorry Ry. I would like you to meet my mate, Max.”

“I can’t believe killer here is your mate.” He rolled his eyes.

“Your mates a killer to.” She retorted.

“You told her about K?” I asked dumbfounded.

“Of course he did, he told me everything when he came home with grin stuck on his face.”

“Oh crap. I called for you for a reason.” I turned my attention on Katherina’s brother but held her in my arms, “K is caged,” Ry’s growled sounded like my own, “Its bad, he smelt you on her and she refused to tell him about you, she will be caged a while.”

“I should have known.” He yelled, “I should have forced her to come with me. We attack in an hour let me round up the men.”

“No.” I shouted. “I can get her out, she will die if you came and she will surely die if you were killed.”

K’s mate growled and looked up at me, “You have until tomorrow night.”

“You can’t leave me.” Katherina said instantly.

“Katherina.” Her brother growled.

I moved her behind me and growled at Ry. “It’s ok Max.” she whispered in my ear, “He has ever right to.” She turned me so I faced her now, “Promise me you will come back.”

“I promise.” I kissed her with all the love I could then turned my back and walked away, “Ry,”

“Ryder.” He corrected.

“Ryder, you and your best fighters meet me at that spot in an hour if we’re not there follow my scent back to our home and you can attack, but bring at least thirty. You can kill Bret but not my brothers hold them down or something but don’t kill them, they only listen to their maker.”

“Understood.” Ryder said and with one last look at my mate I turned and ran back to the house. I had to be quick and quiet. The others will be asleep since the day before was long. I knew Bret kept the key to the cage in his office somewhere. I changed and quietly walked up to K’s room, grabbed her a pair of her changing clothes and made my way to Bret’s office. The house was dead quiet and I cringed when the office door squeaked. I looked through all of the draws and behind all the pictures; I couldn’t find the key anywhere. Then I remembered him hiding the key to his safe underneath the third draw. I opened the third draw and felt under it and sighed in relief when it was there.

I peaked my head out the door and made sure no one was around then quietly made my way to the basement. My heart almost shattered seeing K in a ball shaking. Her skin was cut and dirty. As fast as I could I opened the door and grabbed K out holding her tight. “We have to hurry.” I whispered in her ear. She looked up at me with a confused look on her battered face, I had to fight a growl escaping my lips when I saw her crooked nose, split lip and black eyes.

“He’s waiting,” I said and she clung to me tighter, “and I’m coming.”
