Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven

*Braxton's POV*

I stared at the letter in disbelief.

Alpha,

When you read this, you will realize that your mate has been taken. I can only assume you already know by who. I will not tell you where she is being kept, but I will try and give you some peace of mind that he said he would not kill her. I am not the kind of rogue that likes to do stuff like this, but he offered us a substantial amount of money, and my family and I have been struggling. Just like you must put your family first, so must I. As for your pup, I was assured he has lined up an excellent home for it and promises not to hurt it. Once again, I am sorry for this, and I hope you find solace one day in knowing she is at least alive.

How did I let this happen? It is my responsibility to keep her safe. I have tried for hours to track her. She must have wolfsbane in her system. That is the only thing I can think of. Pup? Emily is pregnant? How did I not know? Does the pack doctor know? I am slowly losing my mind. I can feel my wolf trying to take control and destroy everything in sight, but I know that will not be helping Emily. I fold the letter up and place it in my pocket.

The first place I am stopping at is the pack hospital. I need to find out if the pack doctor knows anything. I do not bother driving. My wolf needs out. I shift midair and race through the woods to the pack hospital. As I get close, I shift and am thankful for the clothes I keep stored in the nearby tree. Walking into the hospital, everyone who already knows Emily is missing looks at me with a sad expression.

I quickly find the pack doctor. "Did you know she was pregnant?" I say, holding back anger.

"Y-yes, Alpha," he says and bows his head.

I drop to my knees. "How far along is she? How could she not tell me?" I say as I start to sob into my hands.

Gripping my shoulder, the doctor says, "She is about 14 weeks now. It is twins, Alpha. She was planning to tell you tonight after your wedding ceremony."

I start crying uncontrollably when he tells me it's twins. I failed her and my pups. I knew I should have postponed the wedding. Now my mate and pups are gone, and I have no idea how to find her.

Arms grab me and pick me up off the ground. "Son, you need to get a hold of yourself. Emily and your pups need you to get up and find her," my dad says to me.

"I can't track her with our mate bond. I have no idea how to find her," I say to him.

"We will find them, son. Whatever we have to do," he says and hugs me.

I stop crying and look up at him. "Let us assemble a pack meeting. Now."

*Zack's POV*

The sun shines into my window. Turning over, I smile—what a perfect day. I have my angel back, and last night was amazing. I slip out of bed and head straight for Emily's room. I open the door to still see her stretched out wide and still staring out the window. She is still asleep. I quickly make my way over to her and climb in between her legs. I can already feel myself getting hard. It only takes seconds for me to get fully erect. Without warning, I slide inside of her. She wakes up immediately and screams out.

"You're awake, my angel. I sure have missed waking up and sinking myself into your warm pussy," I say as I thrust in and out.

"You're a monster," she says as she trembles under me.

"Not a monster, Angel. I just take what I want," I say to her.

When I finish inside her, I slide off the bed and unshackle her. I point to the bathroom and tell her I will make her some breakfast and give her some privacy. She does not say anything as I leave the room. I go downstairs and brew some coffee. I go to my windows downstairs to take a peek outside. The three rogue wolves I hired to watch my place are patrolling the grounds. I smile and think about the hopes of our future.

*Emily's POV*

I still cannot believe this is happening to me again. This is not how my life is supposed to be. I shield my stomach with my hands, slide to the ground, and begin to cry. I need to protect my babies, but how can I do that? I know Braxton will come for us. He just has to find us. I feel weak. I remember last night, before Zack left the bedroom, he injected me with something. It had to be wolfsbane. That would explain my weakness and why I cannot reach out to Braxton. I know with being pregnant and on wolfsbane, I must do everything I can to protect my babies. I will have to wait it out and be good until Braxton can find us. Our lives depend on it.

I feel disgusting. He was inside of me. Again. I look at myself in the mirror. I have bruises on my thighs and a slight bruise on my cheek from where he backhanded me. I cannot wait for him to be torn to shreds, and I want to watch every limb be torn from his body. Braxton must be freaking out. I am blaming myself for not postponing our wedding. He asked me several times to postpone it, and I refused. He does not even know I am pregnant. If we do not get rescued, my babies are going to be ripped from me and given away. I push that thought from my mind. Braxton will rescue us. I must believe that.
