My overprotective alpha mate

Chapter 18

"What is this?" Ash asked me as we started to dance. 

"It's your birthday party, doy!" I told him, having so much fun it was like nothing could touch us.

He shrugged and continued to dance with me. After about an hour, we went outside to sit on the porch.  Sitting on the swing seat we watched the meteor shower above us. And then of course, our perfect moment had to be interrupted. "Ash!" Melanie yelled form the house. "Phone call!" He sighed and stood up. "Coming!" he called. "Be here when I get back?" I nodded and  he went inside.Enjoying the night air, I didn't expect what happened next. One second I was sitting there and the next I was hit in the back of the head, I saw a bright light, and then was met with blackness.

Ash's POV

Why did Melanie have to ruin the moment? I asked myself. I grabbed the phone from her and felt immediately like killing someone. "Hello son," my father said from the other line. "You know, your mate is quite pretty with that hair of hers. I wonder......" I growled feeling my eyes darken. "What do you want Father?" 

"Oh nothing," he said, "But your mate is quite beautiful when she's unconscious and being packed into a car." And then hung up. 

I stood there shaking. He had my mate. I heard the phone break in my hands and didn't even care. He has our mate! He has our mate! Kill him! My wolf snarled. KILL HIM!!!!!! Quickly I stopped the party, told everyone that Arianna was missing and sent them of into groups to search for her. Slowly Melanie approached me. "He has her dosen't he?" she asked. I nodded sinking into a chair. "Then," she said. "I'm afraid there is nothing we can do." At that I broke into tears. She's gone! We can't find her if she's with him! What can we do? My wolf howled in anguish. But all I could do was sit there and worry about my mate.

Arianna's POV

Groaning I opened my eyes. Where am I? I asked my wolf. I got no reply. It was like we could see each other, but there was a window in between us. Suddenly a voice came into existence. "Ah. Awake at last. How are you Luna?" A man stood at the door to the cell I was in. "Who are you?" I asked. "Oh. And screw you for taking me!" 

"Temper, temper." he replied. "And you know who I am." 

"Your the man who called." Horrible realization went through me. "You aren't Alpha Logan are you?" I remembered the night Ash had told about him. How he had tortured him close to death.

"Correct." He chuckled. 

I growled. "Let me out." He wagged a finger at me. "Ah, ah, ah. I can't have you going back to my son. He should suffer as much as I did after I lost my mate."

I lunged at him through the bars. "You're sick!" I screamed. "You tortured a little boy! It wasn't his fault your mate died!"

"Shut up!" He yelled. "Now, lets make this easier. I took you to give Ash the same pain I had. Now he can feel just like I did. Helpless to save his mate, and unable to see her."

I growled at him. "Touch me and I'll kill you where you stand. And I'll do it slowly." 

"Fine," he said. "Go without dinner then." I shrugged. Werewolves where able to go up to a month without food. Our bodies where built to withstand extreme  conditions.

After he walked away, I started planing my escape. When the guards came with my dinner I would use the 'Oh No I've Been Captured And Can't Do Anything About It' then kill them when they thought I wasn't a threat. Sitting in my cell, I got so bored I thought I was going to die. After an hour of two passed, I was fast asleep.

***

"Hey girlie," someone called to me; shaking me from my sleep. "Wake up." Groggily sitting up, I remembered my plan.

"Please," I whispered, huddling in a corner. "Don't hurt me." One of the guards scoffed and told the other to go get something. 

"There, there princess, " the guard said. "I ain't gonna hurt you."

I nodded, standing up. "I know." I simply stated; kicking him in the stomach then snapping his neck.

I know it was faster than I might have waited in another case. Right now I just wanted to be with my mate once again. One day of being imprisoned can really make a girl go crazy.

Running down the hallway, I started to try to mind-link with Ash. Ash? I called. Can you here me?

Where are you? He asked; his voice muffeled. 

With your father. I replied. You?

I'm at the house. I have know idea where his hideout is. Please come back to me. He begged.

Soon. I told him. I'll be there soon. And I severed the mind-link.

Still running I sniffed for the smell of fresh air. Taking a left at a corner, I saw a door, the smell of the outside coming off it in waves. Tugging on the handle, I found it was locked. Huffing in frustration, I started to pace. "This way," a voice yelled. "I can smell her!"

Screw it. I thought. Kicking out, I slammed the door. Dang! I thought. What is this made of? Finally,it started to crack in the. One last time, I shifted and through all my weight against the door. It splintered,and I ran the guards hot on my tail.

Run! I screamed at myself. Run! I ran as though my life depended on it. I knew I had lost the other wolves but I wasn't going to stop. Finally after what seemed like forever, I crossed back into home territory.

The alpha house in site I ran harder, busting through the door to find a sobbing Melanie, and a sleep deprived Ash.

Quickly I ran up to Ash, and then to my room, grabbing some clothes and putting them on before running back down the stairs and jumping into Ash's lap. Sobbing, I clung to him like it was the end of the world. Patting my back, he and Melanie tried to calm me down.

"You're okay now. You'll be fine." He said as I continued to sob.

"N-no I-I'm not. Not a-after that." I said .

" Oh Arianna," Melanie said . " I'm sure you're not,but you need to tell us." I nodded and busted out the whole tale. Then waited while they stared at me in shock.
