Chapter 72
Eliza’s POV
I could tell Trey was distressed with the phone call he just got. With my hearing, I heard every word.
“Where do we go? What do we do?” I asked him. We have to protect our little boy first and foremost.
“I have money saved up from when I was CEO, Liz. Pick a country and we’ll go hide out. I think we need to get as far away from here as possible.
“Let’s go to Ireland.” I told him. I’d always wanted to go there.
“Done. Now come on, let’s run to the airport. We don’t have time to get luggage.” He said as he took my hand and kissed it. Trey began to strip and handed me his clothes. We both took off running as quickly as we could until we reached Portland international airport.
“Do you have any flights to Ireland?” We both asked at the same time when we approached the counter.
“Hmm we have one that leaves in two hours.” The attendant said. That wasn’t soon enough.
“What international flights do you have that leaves soon?” I asked her.
“We have a flight to Italy leaving in twenty minutes.”
“We’ll take that one.” I told her. Trey opened up his wallet and passed her a black card that she quickly ran. She passed us our tickets and we walked fast to make it to our gate.
Italy here we come.
Luke’s POV
Knock, knock, knock
The stench of werewolves hung in the air.
I slowly went and opened up the front door where there stood a tall and beefy man with a scar that ran down the side of his face. He was smoking a cigarette and had many tattoos all over his body.
“Can I help you?” I asked.
“I’ve come for my mate, Ariana.” He said.
“Look man, there’s no one here by that name.” Tanner jumped in.
“I think I’ll see for myself.” He replied. He waved in a bunch of lackeys, and they started searching the whole place, destroying everything in their wake.
The werewolf king hung back, watching our every move.
“There’s no one else here, though we did scent two females that have recently left.” One of the lackeys told him.
“I see.” Jackson grunted. He looked at us, obviously displeased. “So where is she?” He asked us.
“I don’t know.” I told him.
“Take them.” He told his minions. Wolves grabbed Tanner, Jason and I and pulled us out the front door.
Shit. What do we do now. They led us to carriages and pushed us inside.
“Don’t try anything funny.” Jackson told us as he slammed the door shut.
“Move on to the next house.” He growled to his fellow wolves. They all howled and I felt the carriage wheels turning.
Jackson’s POV
We searched all over Oregon but couldn’t find Ariana. I had a picture of her and she had grown up to be the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I already had a harem, but I didn’t have a mate. I wanted the strongest creature possible to bear my children. I took many different people from their homes to question later, those who appeared to have answers about where she may be.
We pulled up to my villa where I was eager to question the three vampires I had caught. They smelled familiar, like the scent of Ariana’s childhood home. To me that meant one thing, they had been around her and can lead me to her.
I lit another cigarette and hopped out of the carriage that took us on our travels through Oregon and Godlia in search of Ariana. Quite frankly, I was out of clues, and I hoped the vamps could give me the answers I needed.
People misconstrue my appearance for my personality. I like to think of myself as a loveable ladies man however because of my scar and my actions during war, people think I’m the most dangerous of the big four. I like being thought of as dangerous. It means nobody messes with me. Have I killed? Hell yes. Did I like it? Also, yes. But it was necessary. As a teenage king I was raised to believe that if I mated with the strongest out there, I would be unstoppable. I had taken my time and chose Ariana, a fallen angel. However, when I went to go get her, I couldn’t find her. In my anger, I killed the entire bloodline. Father was on his deathbed and quite pleased with my actions.
I was supposed to get Ariana, and my mother would raise her in the way of werewolves until she came of age to be my bride. Who knew after twenty years she would be turned into a vampire. I was partially livid, partially intrigued by what our babies would look like. A vampire, werewolf, angel hybrid would prove to be remarkable.
“Put them in the dungeon.” I called out to no one in particular. Someone would take care of the prisoners.
I strutted inside my home and went to my mother’s chambers.
“Did you find her?” She asked as soon as I opened the door.
“Not yet, but I will.” I told her.
“Why waste your time on her? Isn’t it enough that we killed her whole family? Mary also thinks this is a waste of time.” I scoffed. Mary was my younger sister who thinks I should just take any old wolf to be my mate. They both did not understand how I needed to have the strongest children. A wolf’s pride is related to his offspring, and I wanted to have the strongest.
“I’ll find her, and she will be my mate. No questions asked. Once she sees how strong I am, she’ll want me for sure. After all, nobody has been able to resist my charm.” I told mother. She laughed, “tell yourself that big boy. If this woman has any tenacity, she’ll be able to resist you.”
“Doubt it.” I told her before I walked out of the room. I started towards the dungeon to question my prisoners.
Tanner’s POV
The door to the dungeon creaked open. In came Jackson, the werewolf king. The one trying to steal OUR woman.
I was thankful Lizzy and Trey were able to escape. Who knows what this monster would’ve done had he captured her.
I smelled another being with him, a witch. She walked out from behind him and smiled. I didn’t like the look of her smile.
“I don’t expect you vamps to tell me the truth, so Margaret here is to ensure that you do. Now then, who wants to go first?” Jackson said to us. Aw shit, we’re in more trouble than I thought.
Trey’s POV
We arrived in Italy last night and right now we were fucking to pass the time. “Yes, yes, yes!” Lizzy cried out as I pounded her pussy with everything I had. She had become insatiable since becoming pregnant.
“That’s right baby, take my cock like a good girl.” I told her as I thrust forward even harder. “Trey, your cock is so good, I’m cumming!” She cried out. I felt her squeeze my dick uncontrollable and my thrusts became sloppy as I coated her insides with my seed. We collapsed on the bed together, laughing. This felt like a honeymoon, though I wish circumstances were different.
“Any word, yet?” She asked again. I rolled over and checked my phone but there were no missed calls or messages from the others. Their phones were going straight to voicemail. Just in case something happened, we didn’t leave any messages about where we went. We had no idea if someone else had a hold of their phones.
Ding
“There’s a message from Luke!” I exclaimed.
Eliza, Trey, we are safe now. Where are u? -Luke
We’re in Italy, where are you? -Trey
We’re on the way – Luke
“They’re on the way, baby.” I told her. I laid back down next to her but for some reason I had a pit in my stomach.
“Thank goodness, I’m glad they’re okay.” She said with a smile while rubbing her stomach.
Luke’s POV
He had a damn witch with him who forced us to take truth serum. We ended up spilling EVERYTHING we know about Eliza and I felt so damn bad about it.
What was worse, we told them where our phones were at the house and who knows what information they got that way. I really hope Eliza and Trey are okay.
Jackson’s POV
We’re in Italy, where are you? – Trey
I reread the message and smiled to myself. That was easy. Too easy. The way it should be. A witch didn’t work last time because nobody knew where she ended up but this time, she’d be mine.
I dressed up as nicely as I could, combed my black hair and brushed my teeth. The time is here. I sent another text telling her I was in Italy, where could we meet up.
She gave me the name of a hotel, Creek Inn.
I was right outside the front door and I could smell her. The scent of angel and vampire. The same scent I found at the vamps’ house. I strolled in like I owned the place and walked past the receptionist.
I went to room 20 and knocked on the door.
An angel opened the door with a large grin and then horror when she saw my face.
“Trey!” She screamed as I grabbed a hold of her and held the cloth to her face. A werewolf came running behind as I walked away, leaving my witch to deal with him.
I finally have you Ariana, or should I say, Eliza. I’ll figure out later what she prefers. For now, I had this goddess in my arms and nothing else mattered.
I placed her in the passenger seat of my car, and I got in the driver’s side. Time to go home, my mate.
