The Alpha's Kidnapped Mate

Ten days have passed. And Lysander still hasn't found me. I dont think its from his lack of trying because everyday Noah has been a boar not that he wasn't a boar before, its like he became more boarish. I know it's not a word but im making it one. At least it suits how i want to describe Noah's behaviour. I could hear him shout at his men everyday, glasses being broken and i swear i even heard a table being flung across the room too. You know that whoosh sound that objects make when they are thrown across the room. See boarish behaviour. Somehow Lysander had managed to kill off half of Noah's men. I heard some of the men whispering that the only way Lysander had not budged in the house was because of the black objects. In a way it made sense. Black objects are objects that are infused with black magic to do one magical specific thing. Even someone without any access to magic is able to use these black objects. For instance a candle could be spelled with black magic to create a barrier if it's lit. And some objects can be unnoticeable. You wont even be able to tell that you were looking at one. Noah must have those kind of objects around the house. The only catch with the objects is that the one who activated it has to deactivate it or has to die. One good thing that happened since Lys started killing Noah's men is that it kept crazy pants away from me, giving me time to work on the air vent. I had managed to unscrew it, using a stool to boost my height i looked inside and noticed it was freakishly clean. Seriously i could eat a meal off the floor in there.

Managing to climb up in the vent somehow. I start crawling towards east. Or my east. Carefully not making any noise, i didn't want Noah or his men to have a suspicion that something was wrong. Super hearing remember. After a few minutes i start to hear some kind of noise. It felt like someone was talking. More like vibrations that comes from voices. I couldn't really hear anything other than that from up here and i definitely did not have super hearing. This is one of those times that i get really envious of supernaturals because any kind of supernatural being had a unique ability. Being immortal, having super hearing or night vision, being able to smell all kinds of stuff including fear, s*x or arousal. Some could even fly not to mention super speed. Cool am i right? And right about now i could use some super speed or wings but no such luck since im human. The whispers suddenly disappear, its like they moved away. Paying more attention, i notice that the whispers haven't disappeared like i thought, they just moved further away. As in the people were walking away from wherever they were. Thank goodness whoever they were did not notice me. Looking around to find the exit vent to the room that is directly below me, i start moving in semi circles. More like crawling. And the only way i could hear those whispers its because there had to be an exit vent close by.

After a few awkward turns i finally spot it, a few paces in the same direction i was going. Crawling to it quickly, i shake it to see how tightly its screwed shut and to my surprise its not screwed at all. There aren't even screws. Looks like someone else had already tempered with this vent. Obviously it cant have been for me right? Anyway who cares. Silently thanking the Gods for the luck and whoever had unscrewed this vent, i pull it open. And it doesn't even make that squeak sound. Another score for me. I look around in the room and notice that its an office. A luxurious one by the visual in front of my eyes. This could only mean that, this was Noah's office. I mean the chair at the desk was three quarters covered in gold and Noah was the only one i knew with those kind of dramatics. Not to mention that he was such an arrogant man that i didn't think he would allow anyone else to have that kind of luxury while next to him. I carefully jump down and land on his large desk. I was secretly hoping to break it, but not even a scratch was made. I scowl at the annoying desk. I need to find a weapon in here, i could not go any further without one. Who knows what kind of trouble i might run into when i go out. I could not fool myself by thinking that i was out of the danger zone. Im very much still in trouble here. And luckily for me, on Noah's left side of the wall were two large swords placed in an X style. Obviously crazy pants put them there for dramatics because they didn't look like they have been used before. They were just there for display or intimidating tactics. Stepping to take a closer look at them, i could have sworn they glowed and i couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to me. Talk about being weird. Either way i was keeping these babies they are gorgeous and im keeping them as some kind of compensation for what Noah put me through. I grabbed each one in my hands, testing them out, doing a few flips and they were perfect for me and had the right weight. Yep totally keeping them. My best friends and i have always preferred blades to guns. My heart aches thinking of Sienna and Monique. They were probably losing their minds trying to find me. I have to get out of here today. I want to go back home to my friends, my family. Our family was not complete without each other.

I was about to head for the door when a vase caught my attention. Nothing is special about it. Its just middle sized and plain white and so not fitting in this room or Noah's taste. Smiling i go towards it and roam my eyes over it without touching it, trying to see if there was anything on it. And i wasn't surprised when i did not find anything not even a scratch on it. So this was it, the black object Noah was using or one of them at least. It was smart of him to use a plain white vase, most people wouldn't notice it. But we have already established that im not most people and i had spent a few days with crazy pants to have picked up on his tastes. And he definitely was not a flower or vase kind of guy. Drawing one of the swords from my back. Yep i had strapped the swords on my back. Easy for me to carry and access when i need them. I smash the vase into pieces and the house shook a little and no doubt everyone felt it. If i had any doubts, Noah's huge bellow of 'NO!' echoeing through the house erased them. I think i just broke the barrier object, i needed to get out of here stat. Because Noah was going to be here any second to see who had betrayed him. I head straight for the door and before i reach it, the door opens and im again face to face with the familiar empty eyes.

"You are not going anywhere." He states in a robotic eerie voice.
