I groaned in pain as my eyes blinked open and adjusted to the sunlight. SUNLIGHT! Where am I? It took me a while to realise where I was. I was in Ally's house. I tried speaking but my voice was raspy due to lack of water and food. The past few months being held by that bastard Gabriel had been hell. I just wished to die soon. How did I come here?
Did Ally find me?
I held on to the edge of the bed as I pushed myself to stand on my two feet. I fell to my knees the moment my hand lost contact with the bed. I cursed Ezekiel Gabriel as I crawled around the room on all fours. I stopped abruptly and stared in front of me. I'd just dragged myself into a pool of blood and a body lay beyond it. I'd seen that rusty hair and slim figure all my life.
It was Ally's mom and she was dead.
I dragged myself out of the room in search of Ally. Ezekiel had been here, hadn't he? The hall and kitchen were a mess with things thrown around and pieces of glass scattered everywhere. I saw the bag I'd gifted Ally for her 18th birthday. I opened it and found her phone. Will Ezekiel know if I call the cops? I cursed aloud as I dialled the person I hated the most after Gabriel.
"Hey," Arian's hoarse voice came through the phone.
"It's me," I said.
"By saying it's me, I'm not going to know who you are," he replied amusedly, "Anyway, where's my mate, Noah?" I sighed defeatedly. I was right then. Something bad had happened here and Arian knew nothing about it either. I'll freak out over the fact that they are mates later.
"We have a problem."
Ten minutes later, Arian, his older cousin and two good looking females came to the Ivanov mansion and demanded to know where their Queen was. The males were all tall, well built and beautiful like they were members of One Direction. "I never liked Teresa anyway," Adrian said when he saw her body lying in a pool of blood. Arian kept quiet the from the time he entered the house.
"We should focus on getting Alaska back," I said.
"Clarence should be our main priority. He's the mayor of this town and he may know more about Ezekiel's plans and secret locations," Adrian suggested. Milan, the supposed Werewolf Queen looked at the witch Michaela and then at Arian.
"Avian's tracking his scent," Milan told the boys.
Hmm, Avian.
What a ridiculous name.
"But," she continued, "that shouldn't be our priority right now. We need to-"
"She's my priority!" Arian hissed.
They all sat quiet and nodded. Well, at least the man has some sense. Maybe Ally will be fine with him after all. It stings to think of her with another man but he'll give her so much more than I will ever be able to. I observed Arian and watched him tense and make eye contact with me. The last time we spoke was before I disappeared. I'd told him that having him as a son, it was no wonder that his mother had died.
