A Stranger To Yourself (Previously I Curse You All, To Hell And Back)

Searching

Alexander's P.O.V

it's been almost a day since they took Katia I'm losing my mind. My wolf is going crazy, making me snap at everyone who tries to talk to me at all. The guard system is way up and everyone is searching for Katia.

I'm angry. At myself, Xavier, and myself again. I should've known that Katia wasn't safe here. I should've felt it. But what does Xavier want with Katia? How is she of use to him?

I swear to the goddess if he hurts he in any single way I will personally get to him and tear his testicles off and then rip his throat out. Better yet I'll track down any person he cares about and make them have the exact same hurt as Katia. If he hurts her anyway.

I just want to get Katia back. Until now I haven't noticed how much I cared about her. I miss her so much. Don't tell me I'm overreacting. If you have your mate and you haven't seen her in more than 20 hours then come and say something to me! If you haven't then fuck off!

I'm worried. I've never been this worried for anyone since my mom died. And even then I wasn't old enough to carry that much worry in me. I'm scared. An alpha is not supposed to be scared of anything. But I'm scared.

Scared for Katia. How she's doing. If she's hurt. He could've killed her by now. I'm scared of what I'll find when we find her. I'm scared of finding her. I'm scared of not finding her. I'm scared of what I will do if I don't find her.

Will I just go on with my life? Some mates kill themselves when they lose they're mates. How long will this search last? Will I ever find Katia? I-

I was interrupted by my phone going off. It was a text. I'm confused because the only people who have my number are Katia, the other leaders, and my brother Alec. I lift my phone to find a notification from an unknown number. Someone sent me an image.

My eyebrows crease. It couldn't be the leaders because the pay, for one, don't text. It couldn't be Alex sending me an image because it would have to e some kind of evidence of clue and if it were that then he would've called me and not texted me. Let alone sent me a picture.

I put in my password A/N: Alexander's password is the same as mine 1470 :D. Opening the text app I found that the number was actually blocked, not just unknown. Cautiously I open the number as though there was a bomb waiting to be set off when I opened it.

As I opened it I saw an image that confused me. It looked like a dark room. I opened it to the biggest it could be and what I saw made my blood boil. It was a picture of Katia. She was strapped to a chair, head hanging to the side. She was unconscious.

I called the hacker immediately. "Angelo get here now!" I yelled into the phone. About two minutes later he ran into the room. "Track this number now!" I said handing him the phone. He took it and did his stupid nerd thing.

I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing with his shit! All I was thinking about was Katia. The picture could've been sent from hours ago! I'm so frustrated. I look up when Angelo clears his throat looking uncomfortable but sorry.

"I couldn't track it..." He says sadly. I look at him and nod feeling entirely tired and useless. He leaves the room and that's when it happens. I feel something wet and hot run run down my cheek.

I was crying. I was actually crying. The last time I cried was when I was 13, I'd been at my mother's funeral and even then only one tear fall. I was full on crying. Head bent in my hands. Multiple tears falling down my cheeks.

Then I heard a loud buzz come from my phone. It was another text. I looked at my phone and entered the password. Looking in my message box I saw something that turned my sadness to anger. Right below the picture of my dear sweet unconscious mate was one caption. 'She's cute. I think I'll keep her. -Xavier'

Unknown P.O.V

I walked down the corridor towards the stairs. Two of my men following close behind me. I walked through the hall, everyone bowing their heads as I passed them. I smiled evilly.

No one ever wanted to look me in the eyes. A legend I was quite fond of followed me everywhere. It stated that if you where to look me in the her you'd see the purest evil that had ever existed lurking in every dormer of my eyes and that whomever it was who looked would surely die the instant they did.

It was actually, surprisingly fun. Having everyone to scared of you that they didn't even far look you in the eye. A small glint shimmered in my eyes as I thought about it. It always amazed me how people could have so much fear in them, in their tiny bodies.

It was amazing but hilarious. I've seen people actually pee their pants when I pass by them. I'm not one to smile, nicely anyway. Never mind that we've gotten to our destination.

As we walk in the guards stay at the door as I walk in completely. The lights are fully off but I can see considering I'm a wolf. Her head snaps to my gaze glaring at me.

"Katia" I say in greeting.

She responds bitterly. "Xavier"
