"Cassandra's P.O.V."
The smell hits my nose like a ton of bricks. Blood. I open my eyes to see about 10 other wolves chained up and badly beaten. "It's been a month now, should we just kill her?" A woman’s voice asks. "You heard the boss, if we as much as lay a hand on her he will kill the both of us." a man replied. "Both of you get out." Him. What is he doing here? Why can't I hear my wolf. My breathing starts speeding up, and my chest starts having extreme pains. "Something's happening to her! Call the boss down here." He states. Why of all people does it have to be him, I trusted him. "I got her, clear the way." Someone says. I feel myself being picked up and carried up some stairs. Just before everything went blank I heard my wolf. "Save yourself."
"Benny's P.O.V."
I don't understand, everything was fine until dad just ran out. Literally. Now mom's gone as well. I have set up 10 search parties two for my dad, and eight for my mother. The whole pack has been a complete mess since mom has been gone. Grandma and pops had to leave, they said it was up to me to find my mother. I will not let anyone hurt her, not if I can handle it. I look around for a map of our country. "Here you go Ben." Aiden handed me the map i was looking for. "Thanks." I mumble. I grab the map and start marking down places mom always told me to stay away from. Aiden snatches the map from my hands and growls while staring over my head. I look directly behind me and see my dad. He looks horrible, covered in scratches and mud. 'Benny get behind me." Aiden mink-links me. I do as I was told, then I stare into my dad’s eyes and realize he's not my dad. I launch at him demanding where my dad is using my special powers. "Where is my father." I growl. "Benny no!" I hear Aiden yell, but I had already sunk my teeth into his neck to reveal his darkest secrets. After I retrieve all the information I needed, Aiden pulls me off of the body of a shape-shifter. They can shift into anything they want. "Benny, are you okay?" Aiden asks me. That's when I take a good long look at the man that's standing in front of me. He's tall, about 3 inches taller than me. He's extremely handsome, and his muscles don't even get me started on those. Aiden is 2 years older than me, I turn 17 in two hours, which is when I'll find my mate, but I need to find my mother first. "Yeah, I'm okay." I mumble. Guess I'll get my dad first. I arrive to the place where my dad is supposed to be. "Stay here I'll be right back." I tell Aiden. He grabs my arm. "Be careful." He mumbled, but I knew there was something else behind his words. I get out of the car, but as soon as I smell the air, something is off. It smells like my father, but something else as well. I open the door to the tiny cottage and see my dad passed out on the floor drunk. It takes A LOT for werewolves to get drunk, especially Alphas. I pick him up and carry him out to my Jeep. Aiden holds the door open, and I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my back. I turn around to see a human with a gun pointing it straight at Aiden. I jump right in front of him. Ignoring the pain in my abdomen, I leap at the man and I take his memories from 5 minutes till present. He walks back out of the woods like a zombie. “Benny, lie down I need to get the wooden bullet out of you before it completely kills you.” Aiden calmingly commands me. As I lie down on the ground, I hear my mom in my head. “Benny baby, I love you with all of my heart. I want what’s best for you. I’m dying baby, but you’ll be okay. You’ve grown so much in the past five years. I wish I had more time. Give up baby, or they’ll come for you next.” Her voice is no louder than a whisper, I can tell she’s in pain. “I won’t give up, not on you.” I mind-link her back. I feel her drift away into a dark place and I sit up fast. “Aiden, I have to find her. She’s dying.” I whimper. He immediately hugs me then retreats to the Jeep with my drunken father. I stand up and make a plan in my head. I promise I will find her and kill anyone who hurts my mother.
"Cassandra's P.O.V."
I wake up in a room full of bricks. I stand up and immediately sit back down due to pain. I try again, this time slower. Much slower. I walk around the room until the door opens to a man who I've never seen before. "My dear Cassandra, lets have some fun..." Little did I know this would be the last thing that ever happens in my life.
"Benny's P.O.V."
As I am driving back to the pack house my father wakes up. “Benny! What’s going on, why am I here?” He asks me. “We’re going to find my mother. She was kidn*pped right after you left, it’s been a month father.” I snarl at him. He sits up and thinks about it for a second then it sinks in. “She’s gone?” He asks. “Stop the car.” He jumps out. “I know where she is, and I should’ve listened to what she was trying to tell me.” He says with pain in his eyes.” You’re telling me you knew this entire time where my mother was, and you didn’t mention it to anyone nor look for her!” I yell at him. That’s when I hear a pained scream in the distance. We lock eyes and start running towards the sounds. I hear Aiden yell for me in the background, but all I’m worried about is finding my mother… Alive.
“Cassandra’s P.O.V.”
Pain. It’s all I can think about. All I can feel. I never thought he of all people would ever torture me. At least not like this. This hurts to bad. I’m starting to give up. I’ve never felt so much pain in my entire life. I felt myself drift into the darkness.
“Benny’s P.O.V.”
My dad all of a sudden lands right on his back holding his chest crying. “She’s gone. We’re to late.” He cries out. A sudden rage flows through my body. Aiden grabs my shoulder. “Let’s go find her then.” He whispers. We take off back into the woods and find a freaking castle like fortress. I see movement in my peripheral, I jumped behind a boulder dragging Aiden with me. “The boss said her heart has stopped.” The mans radio says. We sneak out way to the top floor by climbing up the walls. I reach a window and look into it to see a man leaning over my mom. I jump through the window and tackle the unknown man. Wait. “Luke?”
