Chapter 61
******Axel's POV*****
"I don't need fucking backup just get the damn children to safety and wipe out the rest of the scum that are involved!" I roar, as we reach our splitting point on the map.
"Let one of us come with you at least! You don't know what you're facing!" Grey argues, as Nolan nods in agreement beside him.
"I know exactly what I'm dealing with! My pussy fucking brother! He wants to fight me and I'll show him a fucking fight! It’s been a long time coming!" I rage, as the army we had prepared continue to pass us - following Saul in the rescue mission to save the children.
"There's plenty of strong men going with Saul! Take us with you at least Axel! Whose going to get Dani out when you're killing him then huh? Have you even thought this through!" Grey suddenly pokes a hard finger into my chest, earning a deep warning growl as I lean into his face.
"Both of you calm the fuck down right now! We are coming with you Axel to help get Dani out and that's the end of it! We will take Ivanna with us incase they have any spells set up! We are wasting time!" Nolan breaks us apart, before pulling us both in the other direction - the one I was supposed to go alone!
I shrug him off, deciding that I didn't have the time for such a bullshit argument, as I turn to see Ivanna walking behind us too - following Nolan's suggestion.
The mountains weren't far from here, and the army were set to reach the children in less than an hour - ambushing them on the road when they attempt to transport the kids through...
But one thing we still didn't know was why they even needed the children in the first place? Through the vision we seen, they mentioned how desperately they needed them all alive for Sunday... but we just didn't know what was set to happen on Sunday...
But we will find out. If I have to choke it out of Cassio myself, we will find out their intentions!
My heart hammered, as the sick feeling crept back up into my throat from remembering that Cassio could potentially hurt my Dani.
"You good?" Grey eventually questions me as we walk, seeming to have calmed down now from our brief disagreement.
"Nah... I'm fucking livid!" I grumble, earning an understanding nod from him in return.
"We will finish this... today..." Nolan states in comfort.
There will be no hope left for anyone in this world if we don't stop this today...
*****Dani's POV*****
"P-Please... I don't know..." I sob, as the two men laugh at my struggle in attempting to escape the wooden chair I was now chained onto.
"Trust my brother to be mated to such a weak little thing... can you even fucking believe it? A human too!" Cassio places his hands on his knees leaning closer to me, looking amused as he studies my face and laughs in it.
"Now, now angel... just tell us how Axel plans to defeat us and we will treat you well we promise." The unknown man muses, as he tilts his head at me mockingly.
"I don't know anything... he... he doesn't tell me anything like that!" I cry, as Cassio stands back up clicking his tongue disapprovingly at my words.
"It seems we have to do things the hard way Hal!" Cassio states next, walking towards a box on a nearby table.
"N-No... please don't..." I cry louder, thrashing against my restraints.
"Oh I know!" The man, who Cassio referred to as Hal, places a finger on his temple as if getting an earth shattering idea.
"Instead of us wasting our time and energy on the poor thing... why don't we just send her back?" Hal concludes, as I dart my eyes back and forth between the men.
“That alone would kill Axel!” He adds with a twisted cackle - causing my face to pale.
What the hell does that even mean?!
My vision continues to blur, as Cassio laughs at the suggestion and shrugs.
"That could actually work! By what we've seen she won't make tomorrow anyway... and what will poor Axel do without his little mate?" Cassio claps, approving of whatever the man Hal had suggested to do with me.
Send me back? Does he mean...
"Her father probably misses her dearly anyway!" Hal adds, confirming the darkest thought that had crossed my mind.
"No! Please no! Just... just kill me instead!" I begin to beg, cutting my wrists against the straps as I struggle - knowing deep down it was useless.
"Oh look! Dani agrees that’s the best option for her then... let's go get Draco!" Cassio reaches out to stroke my cheek, as I pull my face away from his touch.
"A daddy's girl..." He whispers, causing my heart rate to quicken tremendously.
Oh god no... don't take me away from Axel... I would rather die than face that man ever again! How did they even know? How do they know that's the worst fate to grant me?! Who even was Draco?! What was he going to do to me?!
I watch them exit the room, as my eyes slam shut to contain the other tears that were threatening to spill.
I've never wished for someone else to just kill me... and despite how scared I am... I would rather die here, in a world where I had hope, than to be sent back home to him...
"Axel... please if you can hear me... I'm sorry I couldn't fight more... I probably won't see you ever again... but do the right thing and save those children!" I push my hardest, praying that he would get the message as the tears stream down my cheeks...
Who am I kidding? I wasn't a wolf. I wasn't strong. I wasn't capable of super powers... I was just useless.
I open my eyes, sniffling in defeat. It was over... It was all going to be over…
"Dani?! Dani can you hear me?! It worked you did it! I can hear you! I'm coming for you don't worry! I won't be long doll! Please keep fighting you're doing great!"
I gasp as my eyes widen, feeling my adrenaline re-spark from hearing his voice... did I really do it?
"Axel...?" I test again, questioning whether I had actually heard him speak or maybe I'd finally been driven to insanity...
"I'm here doll... I can hear you... what's going on? Are you ok? Are you safe?" He rushes the questions into my mind, as I can't help the small smile that finds my lips from hearing him.
"They moved the children out of here... but your brother kept me here with him and another man... Hal I think he called him... I'm not sure but I think they are going to send me back home Axel! They know about my father and they are going to send me there! He will kill when he finds me… I'm so scared!" I close my eyes as I cry more, the realisation that this might very well be our last conversation sinking in...
"I'll find you Dani! I always will! You're stronger than you think... I'm almost there but don't worry... stay hidden if they send you back... I'll take care of it... I love you!" He sounds panicked, yet determined.
On that note, my thoughts break away at the sudden entrance of Cassio, Hal and a terrifying unknown figure...
