Mates with the Enemy

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Aaron's POV:

I was feeling more stressed out then ever. There had been no calls  from the Midnight Pack at all. I had expected them to call and beg for the girls back but nothing of that sort had happened. It seemed that they didn't care much for these girls as I thought they did. Or they were planning something that we didn't expect. I think that I should go and talk to the girls today, see what's happening. 

I go downstairs to our makeshift prison when I hear laughter. I look at the open door to Sophia's cell. I walk to it to see Rayden laughing while making poses, as Sophia smiles while drawing. This is weird. I clear my throat and Rayden stops laughing, turning around to look at me. His eyes widen and he quickly stands up. 

"H-hey Aaron, what's up-p." He stutters. I cross my arms, scowling. He takes the hint and quickly comes up to me, standing behind me. I turn toward Sophia. She looks at me curiously. 

"I think that you should actually start talking now." I said. "Why did your Alpha Felix take my Sarah?" I asked.

She looked at me for a few seconds.

"Well I think Michelle already told you that Sarah is his mate and that she came willingly. If you don't want to believe it, then that's not my fault." she shrugged indifferently. My eyes widened. She had actually talked. I know I told her to, but I kinda didn't expect her to actually talk. Especially after the whole fuss she put up on the first day. I almost forgot what she had just said. 

"Sarah wouldn't do that, your Alpha probably blackmailed her in to leaving," I growled menacingly. She didn't ever blink an eye at my anger. "And why are you talking all of a sudden, I thought that you didn't speak?" I added. 

"Well, there might just be a reason that changed my mind.. or not." she said. I didn't miss the quick glance she gave to Rayden. Hmmm... I could tell that there was something between the two of them. I could feel anger rising within me, her indifferent face and obscure nature bothered me, and somehow it was corrupting Rayden. 

"You really are a bother you know." I did a double take when I heard that from her. Who did she think she was saying I was the bother? She propped her head on her hands with a tired look. 

"Excuse me?" I growled out

"You see," she started after a sigh "I like schedules. They keep me organized. They're fun. I follow my schedules really well, and so I often like to plan for things in advance." 

"What are you rambling about? I don't want to hear this stuff!" her eyebrows lowered, as if I had no significance and instead was just an annoying fly. 

"No interruptions please," the words were polite but her tone made it seem almost threatening "I highly dislike being interrupted. As I was saying, I follow my schedules well, meaning that I can pay for goods and services in advance. Because of your immature and stubborn behaviour, I have lost a lot of money. I paid a huge sum of money to have my chisels sharpened today, which clearly won't happen. I have unfinished commissions that are now late, meaning that my reputation among my clients is ruined. I have to pay a shipping fine now too because I haven't picked up my orders on time. Not to mention, I haven't done any of my commitments, and I've missed out on some really important events"

"I'm not immature and stubborn." I muttered when she paused speaking for a moment. 

"Really now?" she taunted "Stubborn is not accepting the fact that someone you like no longer has feelings for you. Immature is kidnapping people during your tantrum instead of actually solving your problems. On top of that, you're an amateur at what you're doing. This kidnapping ruse that you pulled isn't working. The moment I arrived here, I knew this was all some farce. Kidnappers are supposed to be scary and capable, they are not supposed to follow the whims of the people they kidnap, which is exactly what you all did for me."
