Chapter 57!

Ezra POV:

It’s been about 5 days since I last saw Elise. She went on that stupid trip to see some seer with Kyros. I had a bad feeling about it all. Two days later I felt a pang in my chest. Something was definitely wrong. But chaos erupted in the village. I had to take care of it so I couldn’t leave to find out what was going on. I sent some of my guards to find out for me. They have yet to return.

I grasp my chest as I feel pain radiating throughout my body. My back stings and I feel like I got stabbed in the legs. I fall to my knees as the pain gets worse.

“Ezra,” Tae rushes over to me as he opens the door. “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know. I feel like I’m being stabbed repeatedly,” I gasp struggling for a breath of air.

“Sir, we have some news,” a guard runs into my room. “Elise is missing. Kyros doesn’t know what happened to her.”

I instantly rush to my feet. Adrenaline kicks in. I use my powers to get me to Kyros quickly.

I pop up in front of him, startling the others. His eyes are rimmed red. He looks like he is about to fall over the edge. His canines are on full display. He growls at me.

My hand is instantly around his neck. I put pressure against it.

“Where the fuck is she,” I yell at him. My nostrils flare. I see red, my body filling with rage. “I knew I shouldn’t have left her here. I should have taken her home the first chance I got. I knew you couldn’t protect her. I told you that something didn’t feel right. You didn’t fucking listen to me. Where is Elise?”

His claws end up in my side. I let him go. His stupid cronies surround him, ready to fight for him if I attack again. That’s when I feel another pang of pain radiate through my back.

That’s when I realize that Elise is suffering. She is being hurt. She is the one in pain but I can feel her. My hands tighten into fists. I want to destroy him.

“Elise got taken. We tracked her scent but then it disappeared five miles from where she was,” one of the idiot werewolves explains.

“Don’t tell him shit. He probably has her and is trying to make me look like a fucking asshole for not protecting her. Probably wanted to teach me a lesson,” Kyros says.

“You fucking idiot,” I yell, ready to pounce on him. “I didn’t fucking take her. If I had then I wouldn’t be here about ready to fucking murder you. I knew something was coming, something bad. But you’re over here making jokes.”

His eyes widen when he realizes I’m telling the truth. “You don’t have Elise,” his voice drops down to almost a whisper.

“If I had her then I wouldn’t be here. Do you think I would just leave her like your dumbass,” I ask him.

“Ezra,” I hear Tae behind me. “I tried to track her. I also had some of our men try. There are no traces left of Elise. It’s like she vanished into thin air.”

I turn around. Tae and some of the guards stand behind me. The guards look at me cautiously. They know I can go off at any moment.

“No traces of her,” I repeat. Tae shakes his head. No, this can’t be happening. I had her in my grasp and I let her stay even though it was against my better judgment. “I can feel her pain. She is being fucking tortured.”

I turn back around and this time I don’t hesitate to take Kyros down. My fist connected on his face. I seem to black out, all I see is red. My anger towards him fuels me to keep going.

“Ezra. Kyros,” I hear the others shouting. But it doesn’t stop us. I need release and what perfect opportunity I have.

He claws at my skin, leaving a burning sensation behind. His face is all bloody from me punching him over and over. I don’t stop until I scream out in pain. I feel like my back is being cut open. My wings ache from inside of me. I fall off of Kyros, rolling onto the ground.

“Someone is hurting her. We need to find her,” I yell out through the pain. I hurry to my feet. I need to find her. At first I swayed. I take on last look at Kyros before spreading my wings.

I take off and fly away as fast as I can. The stronger the pain, the closer I think I am to her. I wanted to do more damage to Kyros but my top priority is to find Elise. My princess needs me.

I fly to the outskirts of the Dark Bane pack. The pain is unbearable here. But why would she be here? If I remember correctly this pack isn’t under the werewolf kings rules.

Looks like these disgusting beasts are about to get a rude awakening. Blood will be spilled today.
