Chapter 46: CHAPTER FORTY SIX

Adam fluttered his eyes open to his present state, he didn’t know how he got there, Earl-the bastard gave him some drugs to surprise his weakness, he was angry and sad that the rest of his pack were out there fighting while he was in here, unable to do anything.

He noticed he was been lifted from the ground but he had no idea where they were taking him too, they carried him into a dark tunnel that looked like an underground base, threw him into the a room he could barely see, a voice brought him back to himself, it was a soft voice, it sounded familiar. It was his sister’s voice, she had gotten close to him wrapped her arms round his neck and gathered him up, 

“Adam?” She said almost in tears. “What have those bastards done to you?" She could see the weakness in his eyes as he couldn’t lift his head forward, the only thing she held onto was his breath. He was still breathing, she felt relieved. “Adam?” Wake up, Adam.” She tapped at his back hoping it would revive him in some way. He could hear her sobs but he was too weak to move his head or make a move. His eyes were spinning, he hoped to get a glimpse of her, as he forced his body out of the suppressant. As he raised his head, his eyes found his sister; she had tears in her eyes and she was not injured, that alone was the relief he needed to ensure his time coming to the Haiti Pack was not futile. He grabbed her arms, surveyed her body.

“Did they hurt you?” he managed to say in a very low tone.

“I am good, why are you here? What’s happening, I can hear shouts and screams, I need to know what’s going on?” She asked, seeming a little desperate for someone who was safely hidden beneath the ground. He wanted to tell her to shut up and focus on her safety, but he knew it would be insensitive of him to do that. M

“I came to retrieve the remains of your body, Alisha, but it appears you are still alive and I am glad. They sent your items, your locket and clothes in blood to the pack yesterday “

It was then Alisha realized that she had her jacket with her when she walked into the woods and her locket. Her locket has been missing, since the Haiti pack sent it to her pack that meant they had the locket, and Sam had given it to his father. She became angrier at Sam fir betraying the love she had for him and swore that she was going to do everything possible to get back at him.

Alisha understood what was happening now, she knew her brother would be consumed with rage after seeing the blood stained clothes and would do anything within his power to get to them and he did which explained the growls, dreams and shatters she heard for some hours. She was unable to understand why Sam did all of that. 

“I have something to tell you, Adam.” She opened her mouth to speak but before she could utter a word, Adam held up her hand a to a halt “I will listen to whatever you have to say when we get to the pack house, for now, our main objective should be getting out of this tunnel,” he replied. 

As they tried to think of a way out, Sam opened the door immediately jumping into the room, the minute Alisha saw him, she grabbed him with rage, shifted into her wolf self, and punched in him, Sam was unable to shift immediately because she was stronger than him, she scratched his face with her claws but him right into the face leaving a scar on his face 

“Allow me to explain.”

“I can explain, Alisha. I just need you to calm down please.” 

Adam sat and watched the two lads engage in a futile combat, he knew his sister never got angry unnecessarily but the way she going about it, she was definitely going to kill him but he had to stop even though he would delight in watching her rip him apart, he knew he was there for something. He struggled to his feet after fully regaining control of his body, he arched behind her and pulled her back to sanity.

His wolf must have whispered something to her as she calmed down and shifted back to her form, it was a full moon so shifting in and out wasn’t a hassle. She stood naked, just immediately ran back to get her clothes. 

“We just had a great fight out there, now what do you want? Speak before I pounce on you and kill you this minute!” Adam yelled angrily.

“You bastard, how could you, you think I do not know that you ordered my kidnap, why? I trusted you? You used—”

“You have to listen, but first I have to get you all out of here.”

“How do we know it’s not one of your schemes, if I get going and I discover you have pulled a stunt on us, I assure you I will taunt you, finish you off and send your body back to your father,“ Adam promised, giving his sister one good look of “let’s trust him.” But Alisha would have none of that, all she wanted was to rip him apart for lying to her. 

“I know a hidden pathway through the other end of this tunnel, you have to go through that path,“ Sam told them with fear in his eyes, he knew Alisha had every right to be angry with him but he just had to do what was instructed by his father else he would face his father’s irreversible punishment but he had to prove to Alisha that he didn’t betray her but they found out at his pack and the only way to at least make her believe him was to set them free without his father’s knowledge. He had killed the guard in charge of the tunnel keys, stole it and proceeded to get them released so the least they could do is trust and follow him. 

Adam didn’t say too much anymore, he had assured Sam of his immediate death if he found out he had been fooled. The three of them walked out of the dark room gently, moved towards the hidden pathway, Alisha stumbled on something and let out a huge scream, immediately, Adam covered her mouth with his hands “Do you want to get us killed?” he whispered taking one look at the dead boy that lay lifeless on the ground, the body faced upright and Alisha caught a glimpse of his face, he was familiar till she remembered he guarded the gate to her room, as she looked into Sam’s eyes, she knew he killed him just to get the keys out of us hold. 

What was he trying to do? Set her up and rescue her? No? He was definitely up to something and she would find out soon enough, but she had to be outside first before attempting anything. 

As Sam led the way down the pathway, he walked slowly and she followed the steps of his legs, noises were heard from the upper part, uniform marching steps were heard, they were probably searching for him, Sam thought while he motioned for them to see the light and take the way out. Alisha had the burning rage in her eyes, just before she left she gave one last look and said;

“You will rot in hell, you bastard, you little beast!” And with that she was on her way home behind her brother, as they got out of the tunnel, light shone in their eyes, it was bright outside but they had to get going, Adam dragged his sister and they start running. The hidden pathway led them out to the woods and he knew his way round the woods, the only obstacle was broken branches that stepped them in their pace. They ran all through the woods without stopping, getting to the mansion would be difficult but they had to get to the road first. Getting to the road, they crossed to the other end waiting for a moving truck since Alisha was losing breath and her injury was still unattended too. 

Luckily, a truck passed through the road, they asked for lift and the driver helped them seeing as they were in distress. As they drove through the weary road, Adam hoped his mother had not tortured herself too much because of Alisha’s disappearance, he knew how these things affected his mother. He had not intended to show it to her but she came in right in time.

Getting into the mansion , silence befell them, no one was saying a word, no one was in sight, it was totally quiet and Adam knew something was amiss, he smelled the house till he  perceived an unfamiliar scent: they were here, he thought. He knew immediately that the Haiti Pack had attacked his territory while he was away fighting, he knew it was Earl’s plan to claim part of his territory but he wasn’t going to let that happen, He was consumed in rage and wondered where they all went too. If a pin dropped, it could be heard in the hall that was the extent of the silence. As he stepped into the large hall, he saw what frightened him, his guards, the maid, most of them had been slaughtered, and a pool of blood stood stagnant at the edge of the hall.

His eyes widened in utter disbelief, Alisha’s kidnap and his confinement was a trap to destroy his own. Most of his pack members had followed him to get Alisha back, he remembered seeing Arden transform at the Haiti Mansion after which he lost sight of him. The others were missing, he felt his world crumbling when he could not find his mother. 

“Dammmnnn!” he screamed while he saw Alisha in a static position, her maid Racheal was in her pool of blood, they had been slaughtered although most of them had wolf bites, most of them were slaughtered to make the job easy for them. The mansion was I disarray “Those bloody bastards, they’ll surely pay,” he cursed loudly. He thought of his mother and Sarah, Sarah where was she? He ran off to his chamber, opening it. He found nothing, no sight of her, he opened all the rooms in the hallway, no sight of his mother, Xana, Sarah, even his beta was nowhere around. 

Were they held captive? He thought.

As he moved closer, he heard muffles of noise coming from the meeting room, the meeting room was almost like a survival room, and it was difficult for anyone to get into the room. He moved a little closer to the room, ready to aim. Suddenly he could no longer hear the noises anymore, so he moved to grab the doorknob. With all his strength he dragged the knob free but it was obviously locked from inside. He finally had the courage to shout even if it was war.

“Anyone here?” he asked as he pressed his face to the door awaiting a reply or an attack. 

Immediately, the door flew open, he found his mother in distress, her eyes swollen from crying, the others were in agony, Xana was there too mopping with her swollen cheek, Ian looked lost, he looked white like he was a living ghost, he was not moving or shaking, he could barely notice his heartbeat almost like he wasn’t breathing anymore. 

“They are dead, all the others, We were attacked. Selena, Selena is dead too,” Xana replied standing to explain the situation since everyone was silent. 

“Selena?” He was going to drop down soon, little wonder the look on Ian’s face. 

“Sarah killed her, that beast, that dangerous vampire. If I get a hold of her, I’d squeeze the living vampire out of her” Ian managed to speak with utter bitterness.

“Sarah killed her? That’s impossible, Sarah would never harm her,” he scoffed, finding it an absurd thing to say.

“She died of a vampire bite, Adam. How else do I explain this to you? You and I know she is the only fucking bloody vampire in our midst. She fucking killed Selena, she killed Selena” Ian was enraged spitting out those words without caring about how it affected Adam after all he asked her to stay in the mansion. 

“She killed her and ran off. She knew it would be the end of her if she stayed behind, the blood sucking vampire with her bastard fangs, I am going to find her and kill her to avenge Selena’s death. She couldn’t even wait to defend herself because she bloody killed her. What did Selena do to her? Tell me? You tell me Adam? She was probably so hungry that she decided to feast in a house that sheltered her,” Ian screamed in total outburst of sad emotions. 

Adam couldn’t comprehend what was happening, his life was crumbling, he felt his head spinning, not Sarah, it couldn’t be Sarah, it couldn’t be the woman he loved, the woman he shared a bed with some nights ago, it couldn’t be as he walked towards his room, closing the door behind him, he slammed his hands against the door and began breaking the little items on the dresser, he was losing his mind. Sarah was not capable of killing, he knew how soft she was, and she was his mate. He knew she was strong and always ready to show her prowess but it didn’t make sense at all.

I am going to kill her, his wolf side said, getting angry and sad. He was totally in awe at the sudden news of Sarah’s disappearance and the counter attack waged by the Haiti pack. The more he thought about her, the more he thought about her being a contributing factor to the calamity. Maybe he should have listened to his mother when she wanted to send her out but he was overcome with love for her. Maybe he should have married Xana and marked her as his mate, maybe he should never have rescued her, and maybe she was destined to destroy him. He was getting totally torn apart, He made up his mind not to search for her or know where she was. He hated himself for trusting her, for thinking she was changing for him, for thinking she would be his mate and made Luna. Never, he would never allow her to come close to him. 

His mind was made up; he wouldn’t go in search of her.
