Battling Fate

Hostage video

My mind was fuzzy, and my wrist ached. I let out a small moan as a crash or pain thumped into my head. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't really see anything. It was dark, and cold.

"Hello," I tried to say, but my words were muffled by the thick cotton strap wrapped around my mouth. I was terrified. Hot tears threatened to pour out of my eyes and I tried my best to wiggle out of the ropes that tied me.

Tons of terrified thoughts bombarded my mind like, "Where am I? Are they going to kill me, or... worse? Will I ever see my mother again?" Fear washed over me and I realized that I began to sob like a baby.

A small amount of light shined in front of me, and a man appeared standing there. "Hello," he said, in a husky voice. "You may be wondering why you are here, tied up. You will receive an answer in all due time, my child. All you need to know for now, darling, is that you are an important piece in our plan that will end up getting us what we want."

He had a sick smirk on his face, and I wanted to rip it right off of him. I immediately hatted him and wanted to see him burn I the pits of scorching hell. I guess he saw the hatred in my eyes, because he then walked closer to me and said, "Hmm, it seems you still have some fire in those eyes. Unfortunately, they won't stay like that for long." He then put his grubby hands on face and stroked my cheek, after he then turned and walked out only to return with a camera.

He quietly set it up in front of me, and pressed the 'on' button. I noticed that a small light appeared indicating that it began recording, and that I was the main attraction.

Ashton's (POV)

After Kora left, I decided to go back to my pack and tell them about what was going to happen. They didn't seem to mind too much that Kora was going to be going with us, but they did seem to mind Ashley still, though they seem to make an exception.

That was about 5 hours ago, and now I'm sitting here, back at Ashley's house, wondering when the hell Kora will back. Apparently about three hours ago, Kora had called and told her mom that she was going out shopping with her friend Cece but I didn't think it took that long to just pick out a few cloths and shoes.

"Ashley, aren't you the least bit worried about your own child," I said as I watched her come down the stairs. She needed to pack for the trip that we planned on taking tonight. As soon as Kora gets back, we are going to leave with the rest of the pack. I just hope Kora is fond of the pack. I know that Korra isn't the one to go and do as she's told, but there shouldn't be a reason that she's still gone. She should be back by now.

"She's okay'" Ashley said in reassurance. "There's no reason for you to be worried. I trust her friend Cece, and I trust her mother more. They are probably just catching up."

Almost as soon as she finished her sentence, my alpha, Tyler, came barging in franticly with Dwaine and Bruce. Ashley turned her head in surprise and looked at me like I invited them here.

"Sorry about barging in like this," Tyler said. He gave a warm smile to her and said, "long time no see. I hope you've been doing well."

"Yes, actually," Ashley responded. "I have. But lately Kora has been acting, well, differently lately, and I feel it's time for her to be with others like her."

"Yes, Kora," Tyler said grimly. "That's exactly the person I need to talk to you about on an urgent matter." He showed no sign of emotion, but I knew that something was wrong. My breath was hollow as multiple thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks.

"What happened to Kora," I practically growled. Then Tyler gave me a warning look, causing me to drop my head apologetically in submission.

Tyler sighs, and then reaches down for his phone. "There was an alarming video," he started. "Remember to keep a cool head over this, Beta, we will get these men in time, and then you can your way with them, but until then, I suggest that you keep calm." I practically growled at him again.
