Chapter 64: Introductions
Emma
Having someone control your body like a puppet, but you can only watch everything you do sucks. No matter how hard you try to fight it, you still just do what you were told, which pisses you off. No one has ever told me what to do, and I do it. You can ask me to do something but don't TELL me to do something. Hell, even if he had asked me, I would not have done it. So that pisses me off even more. I thought it was water in that damn cup. I am a damn werewolf. I thought if it had anything in it, I would be able to smell it. What is the point in having a super nose if you can't smell a damn potion or whatever that shit was. So that makes twice that the bitch from the diner has drugged me. You would think I would have remembered that.
"Are you ok, Emma?" Mia asked me, startling me out of my thoughts.
"Not really. I am pissed off that I have been drugged twice and one of those times made me kidnap you and drug my best friend." I tell her, not being able to keep the sarcasm out of my voice.
"Well, technically, you did not kidnap me. You sort of fooled me into following you." Mia says, giving me a smile that makes her look a lot like Raine.
"Yeah, Yeah, technicalities," I say, and we both let out a small laugh.
"So, what do you think they are going to do to us?"
"If I had to guess, I would say he is going to use us to get to Raine. That is why he used me to get you so that he had more leverage over her. I just hope that she is smart enough not to fall for the trap I am sure he is setting for her.
"Raine is the smartest person I know, but I also know that she will do anything for the ones she loves," and Mia is right.
"Yeah, she has always put others before herself. This guy seems weird you would think that he would be mean to us or something. I mean, look, we are in a nice room, not tied up or anything." I won't tell her that I was chained to the bed when I first got here. "I am scared to eat or drink anything, but other than that, I don't feel like we are in danger. Which is weird." I tell Mia
"Yeah, I would have thought being kidnapped would be more disturbing," Mia says with a laugh.
"Well, I know my luck. Let's not push it. I do hope we go home soon. I miss Rod."
"They will find us. There are a lot of them to look for us now." Mia says as we hear a noise outside the door. We both jump to our feet and move toward the wall to put more space between us and the door. The lady from the diner walks in, but she is not alone. There are two men with her, and they are not small. They are at least six foot five and bulky, but they are not werewolves.
"Ok, girls, the master would like to meet with you, so follow us," She tells us, motioning to the door for us to follow. I take the first step so that Mia is behind me. Then, I start to walk toward the door when the lady puts her hand up for me to stop.
"Girls don't do anything stupid. Master has been very good to you, and I would hate for that to change." She says with a bit of snap before she motions for us to go out the door. We enter the hallway and follow the lady down the hall. I am sure now that she is a lot older than me even though she looks my age. The two bulky guys follow behind us but never say a word. After a few minutes and a few turns, we get to two large doors. The woman waits for the two guys to open them before motioning for us to enter. Before I enter the room, I have to ask,
"What is your name anyway? You have never told me,"
"My name is Donna. Now go on in." She says, not giving me time to say anything else.
The room is large. The walls are painted a dark blue with colored specks of green, purple, and gold. I would have never thought of painting walls this way, but it is stunning. The furniture is dark and fits the room. I look around, but I don't see anyone in the room.
"Who exactly is supposed to be here cause I don't see anyone," Mia says, but before I can respond, a door on the other side of the room opens. It blends into the wall, so I did not even notice that it was there. I am almost awe-struck at the guy that walks in. He is tall and built. He has a beard, but it doesn't hide his robust facial features. His blue eyes are so bright that they seem to have a glow to them.
"Hello, ladies." He says as he walks further into the room. His voice is deep and commanding. Neither of us responds to him as he reaches one of the chairs and sits down.
"Take a seat, ladies. I won't bite." He says with a smile, and his smile makes him more stunning. I walk to the sofa furthest from him and sit. Mia joins me. I finally find my voice.
"Why exactly did you kidnap us, and what do you have planned for us," I ask, not taking my eyes from his. He starts to laugh before he responds.
"I wanted to meet my mate's best friend and sister, is all." But, wait, did he just say his mates?
"Well, I know who my best friend is and her sister, but you can't be her mate."
"Why exactly is that.
"She has mates, and I am pretty sure you are not them." I say with a bit of hostility. Raine is more like my sister than a friend, and I know she is mated to Levi and Luca. She loves them.
"You don't just pick a mate. You can't just say someone is your mate, and it makes it true." Mia finally says, giving her opinion.
"I understand why you both would think this, but I do want to point out that she has two mates now. So why is it hard to believe that she has a third?" I guess the realization was on our face because he got a smirk on his face.
"How do you know if you have never met her?" I ask, trying to figure this all out.
"Who said that I have never met her?" His question has me even more confused.
"I would think if she had met you, I would know. I am her best friend, and she tells me everything. Also, if she met you and you were mates, she would have known."
"This is true unless she was too young to recognize her mate." He says with a smile still on his face. "But let us move past this part. I will go back to your question. I don't have plans for you. I am guessing that you will be heading home soon, and Raine will be joining me here." His words hit me hard he plans on trading us for Raine. Of course, the guys will never agree to it, but if I know Raine, she will exchange herself for us in a heartbeat.
"If you are her mate, then why didn't you just go to her?" I hope that I can goat him into going to her instead of trading us.
"She would not be able to think with everyone talking in her ear. I am the one meant to be with her, and she will see that too. But only if she doesn't have others filling her head with lies." I know now that we have no hope of changing his plan. What will Raine do, and what if he is her mate as well?
"Do we at least get to know your name?" Mia asks, taking both of our attention.
"My name is Chase, and I will be chasing the rain. She is meant to be mine. I hope that we can all be family and friends one day." He says, looking between Mia and me. He then stands and starts to walk back to the door he entered.
