VICTOR'S P. O. V.
"Victor." I hear her pleading voice.
I try to reply but the link is gone. What the hell just happened?
I call up Peter to see what the hell just happened. "Peter, where is Olivia?"
"Over at Benjamin's why?"
"She just tried to link me and it cut off, something is wrong, check on her now." I growl into the line.
"For Olivia I will. Stay on the line." I can hear him pull the phone away from his ear. "Come on Benjamin, Olivia is at your house right?"
"Yeah, I left her in the kitchen with the project."
They run next door. I can hear their steps. They are quick. Good they didn't take me lightly. I am pacing impatiently. I can hear them calling her but she isn't answering. "What is going on? Where is she?"
Peter is back on the line. "She changed her clothes, it looks like she took off somewhere."
"Where?"
"Her scent leads off towards a trail that we jogged this morning. I think she went to clear her head."
"Something is wrong. You need to follow her scent. I will be there as soon as I can. Link your pack that I am coming. I don't need any resistance right now."
I click off the phone. I would shift but his pack won't recognize my wolf and I can't delay to shift back. I quickly jump in my car and break every speed law there is. I am not going to be too late. I failed her too many times to be late now. I skid in front of Peter's house. I leap out and follow their scents. I can smell they went into the woods. I see that the trail follows around the woods. I decided to cut through. Olivia is fast; she had to be at least half way through this trail. I cut through the woods, as I reach the far side I can scent Olivia's blood. Now I am pissed it is taking everything that I have to keep my wolf at bay. I can see Benjamin and Peter close by. They were circling around one spot.
"What did you find?"
"She was here and she was bleeding. Not enough to be really hurt. Someone is masking her scent. So we can't track where they went, he also tracked his scent coming in, so no knowing where he came from. I can take a guess as to who." Peter grumbled.
"Contact Hector." Benjamin looks at me.
"I already tried. He's blocking me."
"I bet he thought that we would think it was a rogue. Where would he take her?" Benjamin asks me. Like I know everything about Hector because he's part of my pack. If I did that then I would have probably kicked him out a long time ago.
"I don't know. I really don't know the dude. I figure it's going to be close to where he is living. He is going to want her close. I am assuming that he thinks he is taking control of her." I am just out of mind thinking of what he could be doing with her. I still can't reach her by linking. That means she is still unconscious.
"So that means that he took her back to your pack." Peter states.
"We need to search by grid patterns. Do you have pack members who will trust you over the gamma that they train with?" Benjamin asks.
"Yeah, I will link them on the way back. I have already alerted the guards to be on alert for her and Hector."
We waste no time heading back to my pack. I know Hector is a crazy psycho but what would make him think that he would get away with this. There is no way. I mean us thinking it was a rogue was a long shot there is no way that he thought that would really throw us all off, after everything that we have seen him do.
"Wait guys, what if he took her outside the pack lands? What if he went rogue? Maybe that was the only way that he figured that he could keep her." As the thought entered my head I had to voice it. There is no way I am letting her slip away because I missed something. I have this feeling that he wants us to look at the obvious.
"You're right your pack is too obvious." Benjamin thinks. "Where would the psycho take her? It has to be somewhere that he knows we wouldn't find her and somewhere that he can get to easily."
"Hector just isn't this smart, I don't get it." I say. I am really trying to rack my brain. Hector has never shown any real skill in tactics. He has never really been a person that you can rely on for brains. Wherever he has taken her there has to be a trail. He may have figured how to mask the scents but that doesn't mean he has big brains. "I think I know where we can look for clues. Let's head to his house. I know there is a trail to where he took her there."
"Lead the way."
OLIVIA'S P. O. V.
I woke up groggy. I try to rub my head to clear it but I can't move my hand. I can't move any of my extremities. I blink my eyes several times to clear them. I look around and see what is happening to me. Both my wrists and ankles are tied to a bed. It looks like a fallout shelter, but obviously an old one that hasn't been in use for a long time. There at the end of the bed I see the devil himself. Sitting in a chair smiling with himself as he looks at me.
"Finally you're awake. I was wondering how long it was going to take you to get your ass up." Like I just slept in. Geez this guy.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. If I had known a psycho was sitting at the end of my bed then I would have kept you waiting longer."
"Glad to see your sense of humor is intact. You're going to need it. I have you in a place that no one will ever find you. Don't bother trying to link Victor. I have injected you with wolfs-bane so your wolf is too weak to make contact. You will probably be a bit sleepy, but this is what we need to do in order to get you to recognize the mate bond again. I made sure that you never accepted my rejection for a reason. I needed the bond to still be there. That way I can bring you back to me."
"Hector you make me sick."
"Glad to know, you won't feel that way for long." He stands and comes next to the bed. He lifts my shirt and glides his fingers across my stomach. I can feel the faint sparks from the mate bond going through my body. "I know you can feel that Olivia. Don't fight it. You know you're going to want me."
"I can feel it Hector, but it doesn't change the fact that you make me sick. I could never give myself to you again. NEVER!" I yell the last part, hopefully it will make him see it.
"We will see about that." He grins as he bends down and plants his lips on mine. I try to turn my head away but he uses his hands to pin my face in place. I can feel the sparks from his lips and I want to puke. He needs to get his hands off me.
As soon as he pulls away, "I, Olivia Micheals, accept…" He quickly stuffed some fabric in my mouth.
"None of that now, I didn't go through all of this for you to just accept my rejection. Besides, I took it away. It will take a while to get you to see my side of things. But you will. We have time, no one will find you. You are not going anywhere. You are mine. It's best just to get that through your head now." He grinned as he looked down on my body, tied to the bed. "Now, I have to make you a little weaker. I know if you get enough strength you can break these bonds. I know how strong you are. Just know that I do not enjoy this, my pet. But it is necessary." He is speaking to me like he is discussing the weather and not hurting me.
Then he pulls the dagger back out. He begins by slicing my shirt down the middle and exposing my bra and torso. "Feel free to scream. This is going to hurt." I start shaking my head trying to get him to stop. Screaming in the gag that he had put in my mouth. Then the first slice. The pain emits along my stomach, the burning pain is enough to blind me. I scream more into the gag. Tears are now streaming down my face. The pain just keeps burning. This is just one cut, I honestly want to just pass out from the pain.
"This dagger was taken off of a hunter I took down last month. I figured I would keep it, you never know when something like this might come in handy. It is a silver coated blade with wolfs-bane covering over it. I know it must hurt a lot. I don't really want to cause you pain. I just know you, I know that you will not just let me mark you just like that. I have to break you down. You have gotten too strong for your own good. This is your fault. Now, I am going to give you one more cut for good measure and then I will let you rest while you heal, then we will try to talk again." With that he slices across my stomach again.
I can't scream anymore. The pain is too much. I am losing consciousness. I can feel his hands on me again. This sends more fear through me. What the hell is he going to do now? My eyes are blurry. He starts wiping off the tears from my face. "Rest now, baby. I will be here when you wake up." He starts kissing my face. I am too scared to move. The pain is still coming in a burning way that makes me want to cry and scream until I can't anymore.
