(Keegan's POV)
I'd been trying to mind-link Caroline for the past two minutes as I sped to the school. She wasn't answering. Finally, I heard something. Only, it wasn't the person I wanted it to be.
She's gone. Natasha had back up and took her, Aiden informed me. I sped up as my jaw clenched and my fist hit the steering wheel.
"Damn it!" I said loudly in my empty car at no one in particular. I mind-linked Gregg and told him what was going on. I also told him to bring the best trackers to the school. I barely even parked and turned off the car before I was running inside. I followed Aiden's scent to a now empty hallway, but Caroline's bag was on the floor and her stuff was scattered across the floor.
"How do you know she had help?" I asked Aiden as soon as I saw him. He sighed and looked at the toppled bag.
"Natasha is anorexic. Even as a wolf, she wouldn't have enough energy to hold Caroline," he answered. Natasha was anorexic? Why hadn't I noticed that before? It made a lot of sense and kind of explained why she was so mentally out of it and always craving attention. "My guess is a rogue or a few rogues are helping her," Aiden continued. I sighed and looked at her bag. I found myself whimpering as I stared at the bag sadly. How could Natasha stoop to something like this? What was she doing to my Caroline? Where were they? I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Gregg trying to comfort me. It didn't work. I just wished it was Caroline's hand.
"We'll find her, he tried to assure me. I looked behind him to see Trevor, Asher, Nick, Cade, Joshua and Kyle. Cade, Joshua, and Kyle were our best trackers. Cade and Kyle were twins. I didn't feel like talking anymore. I was too depressed over the fact that I couldn't hear my mate. Her mind-link was off, meaning they must've knocked her out somehow. The thought of anyone putting their hands on her made my blood boil. I balled my fists as my jaw clenched and unclenched.
"Alpha Keegan," I heard from beside me. I snapped my head to the voice to see that it was Aiden. He looked guilty and regretful. His eyes were purple, and I had a feeling that the color wouldn't change until Caroline was safely home again. I had half a mind to yell at him for letting this happen but thought better of it. I noticed he was holding a rag in his hand. He held it up slightly. "It looks like they used chloroform. We should tell her brother," he said softly. I glared at him.
"No!" I barked.
"I want my Luna back just as much as you do! Her brother is a police officer and might be able to help," he snapped back at me. Seeing my face turn red with anger, he sighed and took a step back. "I know that I've failed you and this pack. I understand that it was my responsibility to protect her and I couldn't. I'm the worst Luna protector ever and I know that. I feel terrible and would completely understand if you exiled me. But Caroline is my best friend. I want to do everything we possibly can to find her. Don't you?" he asked softly. I frozen as my heart squeezed painfully in my chest and my wolf whimpered in pain. I tried mind-linking Caroline one more time. When that failed again, I sighed and nodded to Aiden once.
"Very well then, let's get going. I think her brother is at work right now. Aiden, you're coming with me. Gregg, take over here. I want my mate found and I want Natasha dead," I seethed before I turned on my heels and headed for my car.
Mom, I need you to get the warrior wolves and put Natasha's dad in custody, now, I mind-linked her.
Why? was her brilliant response. I didn't have time to give her the full story without getting angry all over again; not that I wasn't already.
They took Caroline, was all I said before I cut off the connection. I needed Caroline to be okay. I sped to the police station, not even bothering with the wary looks the cops were giving me. I probably looked like I was ready to murder somebody, and frankly, I was. If Caroline were here, she would have calmed me down and told me that everything was going to be okay. That thought nearly killed me before it only made me angrier. I stormed up to the main desk with Aiden hot on my heels. His look screamed murder too.
