(Marcus POV:)
On the car ride I couldn't stop thinking about her cute smile. I sighed, as I knew she was worried about her family. But all of this didn't make since because why would people take them and act if they left instead.
Nathaniel parked the car outside of a house where the witness said he noticed the person's face and this was the address where we picked up the scent. We were outside in the car watching for movements of any kind inside. There was no black van but there was a truck in the parking lot.
Before I knew it, there was a man coming outside. He was bald and someone I had never seen before. He moved to the garage as this was the perfect opportunity. Nathaniel, James and Myself got out of the car and walked across the street. We went to the side where the other door was. We opened it without knocking or sneaking in and what we saw was truly crazy. Mirabela's brother was chained up, beaten and bleeding.
A snarl came out of my mouth as the human looked up quickly and was shocked.
"What did you do to him!" I screamed angrily as Nathaniel ran over and grabbed the human, forcing him on his knee's, Jason ran over, kneeling down beside Florian, who was unconscious.
The human was scared but cleared his throat. "I didn't do anything, I brought him here because those men said he was going to die.. I only helped because of the money! I needed the money.. They didn't say anyone would get hurt. That was not the plan at all." He yelled to me.
I growled at him, glaring down at the human.
"Who did this? Where are his parents?" I yelled.
"I-I have no idea, but I have an address where they live, but they said they won't stay..They are like filthy rich and super young looking. They killed my friend and said if I told I was next. I kept the kid here and tried to dress his wounds. I didn't have it in me to kill him." He huffed out wincing at Nathaniel holding him down.
"We should get him back to the house and in with Carley fast. It seems they hurt or clipped off one of his wings.." James said before picking up Florian like it was nothing. He was right. His wings looked irritated. I've never seen Mirabel's wings before nor did I want to pressure her, as I heard they were sacred and that's basically their life span.
"Okay, get him to the car. Nathaniel. Tie him up and take him in the car. I have more questions about those people he speaks of." I growled, annoyed, before we all left the garage and to the car as we all got in.
I looked at my phone at the many missed calls from my sister. I sighed before picking up the phone and calling her back, not knowing what I was getting myself into.
When she answered she was screaming and crying. I couldn't understand her so the phone went silent before Emily came on.
"She's gone! Someone took her.. We just saw the security video and she was taken Marcus!"
She screamed in the phone as my phone dropped from my hand before I put the keys in the ignition and took off quickly.
I was seeing red and I couldn't hear anything, I was driving like a mad man on the road as I needed to get to the mall to see this footage to see my..to see my future wife being taken by someone. I should have been there, she shouldn't have left the house in the first place, but I couldn't really chain her up in my room all day!
"Marcus! Before you get us all killed, pull over and I'll drive.!" Nathaniel yelled at me.
I blinked before slamming down on the breaks and pulling over, I shook my head before getting out of the car. He was right, I was not in the right mind for this. Nathaniel got out and switched with me as he drove off to the mall. I turned to look at the male in the very back seat tied up.
"If anyone lays a hand on what is mine..Your life will be over with my bare hands." I growled, deadly at him.
He was staring at me scared as I turned back around, closing my eyes. I should have marked her, claimed her. I would be able to tell where she was. I was such an i***t not doing so.
As we arrived at Walmart, I got out without the car stopping as I saw my sister and Emily.
"We aren't the police, so they couldn't really allow us in anymore , but they gave me a photo of the person who took her. His face was covered ..but we will figure it out." She said, passing me the photo.
I took it and looked it over. Fortunately it was in color,, I stared at Mirabela's worried and sad little face before my eyes went to the man who took her from me. Red, Red eyes. I gritted my teeth glaring at the photo before I moved to the back of the car and opened the door, not caring if anyone saw the man tied up. I was fuming.
"Is this one of the men you were working for?" I barked at him, annoyed.
The male looked at the photo, taking a second before he nodded his head.
"He is just one of the three. There were three." he confirmed to me.
My sister moved to the car and gasped, seeing the male in the car tied up as I sighed and shut the door.
"You can't kidnap people, Marcus!" She yelled at me.
I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck at her, yelling at me in front of some people going inside the store, before I pointed to the car where James was holding Mirabel's brother in his arms.
"We found her brother inside that man's home. So I tied him up and brought him here. The people he works for took my future wife! So yes, he is tied up in my car. Now, go get in Emily's car and meet me at the house as we have a bigger problem."
Everyone was quiet almost shocked. I yelled at my sister. Hell, I was even, nor did I mean it. She looked at me and walked off upset as i sighed and got into the car. Nathaniel said nothing before he got in the car and drove us back home.
"What's bigger than us kidnapping?" Nathaniel asked me while driving.
"Vampires, The man in the video..The man in the video was a vampire."
