Nick woke up with a throbbing head and a dry throat. He could not remember drinking and as he tried to get up he realized he could not move his arms. He opened his eyes to find himself tied to his bed and Sam was nowhere to be seen.
*****
Sam tried to scream as a strong hand pulled her from her bed and another clamped over her mouth. She fought against her attacker, but his strength was overpowering, she reached into her mind to find Lex when she felt a sharp pinch against her throat. Dots danced in front of her vision and her world started to spin. She heard Lex call out to her, but her voice was distant and fading fast. Sam felt her strength being drained from her body. In the last effort to break free, she turned in time to see another masked man inject something into Nick's neck. Her vision faded and her body went limp.
*****
"We have her, Sir." Sam woke up to the muffled sounds of a man talking. "Yes, Sir."
Sam fought the urge to move and pretended to still be asleep. "Yes, Sir. Right away Sir."
She tried to move her arms and bit her tongue as something burned her wrists. The smell of monkshood filled her nose and she started choking. Suddenly she was pulled upright and a bottle of water was placed against her lips. She refused to drink and pulled away, but a hand grabbed her hair and yanked her head back forcefully. The sudden movement shocked her and water was thrown into her now open mouth. She tried to spit out the water but her mouth was forced closed and her nose was pinched closed. She swallowed and opened her mouth to breathe. The man holding her hair sighed in what sounded like relief and let her go.
"Can't have you dying on us, now can we." He said When Sam finally opened her eyes. She looked at the man and was shocked to see a rather handsome face staring back at her. His dark eyes and dark hair gave him an edgy look but the softness in his voice was soothing. Sam looked around her and saw she was in the back of a van. The windows were dark and the front of the van was sealed. She could not see the driver but she knew he was there. Her head felt heavy but she fought to focus on her surroundings. She could hear Lex calling out to her, but it sounded like a whisper. She reached out to Lex and felt her clawing her way to the surface. The man sitting across from her smiled at her and Sam saw his fangs. It was not unusual for a werewolf to have his fangs present at most times but it was not recommended, due to the humans, but he was calm and she could not smell any human of anything related to the city around her.
"Don't worry, no one is going to hurt you." He said as he looked at her bound wrists. Sam heard a snort and looked to the back of the van. There was another man looking at her, but his eyes were not as reassuring. He had dirty blond hair and pale blue eyes. A scar covered half of his face and his nose was crooked. He was about twice the size of the younger man in front of Sam and about fifty times worse. He looked at her hungrily and licked his lips. She felt sick to her stomach at the sight and smell of him. He smelled like rotten fish.
"Rag, don't you dare touch her. Master will have you gutted if you came even a hair to close to her." Sam looked at the younger man and frowned. She heard Lex growling and realized that she was growling at "Rag" as well. The younger man looked at her shocked and moved so fast she barely saw him. He had her pinned down to the floor of the van with his nose buried in her neck. He was sniffing her and recognizing her sent. He pulled back when she growled at his closeness and she saw his wolf retreat as his eyes changed from black to brown. "So it is true, you really are the last remaining She-Wolf. I see now why Master was so adamant to have you at his side."
He moved back to his original spot and looked at Rag. "Do not touch her or I will kill you." He growled out. Rag looked at him with contempt but did not say a word. Sam realized the, thought Rag was bigger and older, the younger wolf was clearly the one calling the shots. Sam felt the van turn and the road becoming rough.
"We are almost there, then we can hand you over to Master and he shall reward us as promised."Sam looked down at her hands and cringed at the sight. Her wrists were raw as the rope burned into her flesh and her fingertips were almost blue from lack of blood. The young man saw what she was looking at and took out a cloth. He wiped her wrists without removing the rope and softly rubbed her fingertips. She could feel the life returning to her hands and the wounds started to heal, but she could still feel the burning of the monkshood.
After what felt like hours the van came to a stop and Rag stood to grab her but was stopped by the younger man. He rolled his eyes and opened the doors. The younger man helped Sam out of the van and put a gag into her mouth. She could taste a small amount of monkshood and feel the burn on her lips and tongue. She growled at the man and bared her teeth. The young man seemed ashamed and turned his head, avoiding all eye contact with her. She felt both her arm being drabbed and tried to push them off, but they were stronger than she was in her current state and she could not fight them off. Lex still fought for control but the amount of poison in her blood made it difficult. Instead, she growled and tried to bite at the men as they pulled her to a large house. She was able to extend her claws and scratched at one of the men, he yelped and jumped back but he was suddenly replaced by another and they grabbed her arm and wrist to prevent her from moving. They dragged her into the house and dropped her on the floor before rushing out and slamming the door. Sam jumped up and stormed the door but a strong hand grabbed her by the throat lifting her into the air and slamming her to the ground. She clawed at his wrist and tried to kick him, but he sat on top of her and pinned her hands above her head. She focused and saw the dark-haired young man looking at her pleadingly.
"Please,' He whispered, "I do not want to hurt you." Sam snapped at him and he pulled back. He sighed and lifted her off the floor without hesitation. Only then did she realize how tall he was. He held her by her arms but her feet did not touch the floor. Her eyes went wide when she saw the blackness seeping into his eyes as his wolf gained control. Lex pushed forward and it was a battle of the wills as they stared at each other. Lex started releasing her power and the young wolf stared in awe as she started to transform. Her toes now touched the floor and her eyes were like melted pools of gold.
Suddenly Sam was ripped from the young man's grip and flung across the floor. He shook his head as if he was in a trance and Sam could see his wolf was gone. Sam looked around and saw a man that looked a lot like Nick standing next to the young man.
"Leave us." The young man nodded and spun around walking to the door. He stopped at the door and turned around. Sam could see the longing in his eyes as he looked at her before leaving the house.
"Now that we are alone it is time to have some fun." The man said stalking her hungrily.
