Captured

Desperate times.

“Answer me, was there anyone inside? Have they found bodies? at what time did this happen?” Marcus furiously asked this person. The poor neighbor suddenly felt afraid. “This happened 20 minutes ago. The fire department hasn’t been able to find bodies yet. Their suv is missing though.” The terrified human answered. Thomas got to the place where Marcus was. Thomas immediately put two and two together, after all he was the one who conducted the investigation on Alice. He knew perfectly that the burning house belonged to Alice. Marcus was pacing and shaking. I wonder if I should inform the king, Thomas thought. Marcus behavior is unusual. Thomas placed a hand on Marcus shoulder. “Marcus, what’s going on. What has you on the edge, talk to me. Or should I informed your father” Thomas asked him. Marcus stopped pacing and growled at him. Marcus came face to face and stopped inches away from his friends face. “As your prince I command you not to say a word to my father or anyone else” Marcus used his authority over his friend. He had never done that. Thomas bow down to his prince. Thomas knew this was serious and dangerous. He had to help Marcus. Marcus was out of control. Asking people around for any information they had on the Nicholson family. The firefighters stopped the fire and were able to go in and search the house. Marcus wanted to go in but knew it was dangerous since all the neighbors were gathered around. He couldn’t have witnesses see him. He would come back on his own. The fire department announced that there weren’t any bodies inside. What a relief, Marcus thought. Marcus went to his friend side. “I need to stay here and see if they need anything. Make sure to be ready in case I need you. Now go” Marcus said. “Is that an order prince” Thomas lowered his head. Marcus understood and felt guilty at once. He had never been like this towards his friend. “Look Thomas, I wish I could tell you but I know that if my father commands you. You will tell him everything. It’s not that I don’t trust you because I do. I just don’t want to involve you. You’re dear to me. I don’t want my father to punish you for my doings. I am sorry my friend.” Marcus said. “Let me say with you. I brought the car with me. We can stay inside the car and not look like creeps standing outside the house” Thomas reasoned with him. Marcus agreed. They both went to the car and waited.

Alice fell asleep during the drive. She kept dreaming about the handsome Marcus that had kissed her passionately. In her dream the kiss didn’t stop Alice had gotten on top of him. Ran her hand through his hair and grabbed his hair from the back. Pulling his face closer to her. Her parents had given her something to make her sleep while they spoke about their new plans. “You were suppose to keep her safe and away from anyone else James” Joe said through his teeth while speaking to James on a pay phone. “You had the obligation and duty to your pack. Since you found your mate you’ve neglected her. You know you messed up! You made an pact to keep her safe and protect her!! Not your mate, I had ordered you to reject her!” Thomas spit his venom. “My apologies master. I wasn’t counting on finding my mate and when I did I didn’t want to reject her right away. I wanted to get to know her first before I did what I have to do. My pack comes first and I know what my duty is. I still can’t believe Alice would keep this from me. She doesn’t have secrets.” James said. “Well James just the same way you hid from her that you were neglecting her due to your mate. Don’t come at me with that. You know you messed up. If you wouldn’t have left her alone, this wouldn’t had happened. Now get your behind over here, we already have a place to stay” Thomas hung up the phone. He headed towards the suv and drove off to their new home. He parked outside and carried Alice to her new bedroom. While his wife got the three suitcase down.

Alice woke up with James sitting on a chair near by. Disoriented Alice sat on the new bed. She looked around. James had his eyes on her, he new he couldn’t ask her about Marcus. But still he asked her “Alice, who is he”.
