Taken

::Drake's POV::
What the f**k is he doing here? the thoughts raced through my mind. The colonel? Is this my black mailer?!
''Calm yourself down Drake,'' Terry cautioned.
Why? When this could be the fucker that is keeping us apart from our mate! I viciously shot at Terry.
''You're actually kind of scary when you're pissed'' Terry lifted an eyebrow, ''But we don't know if this is a bluff.''
I tried to reabsorb all the tension that were close to erupting from my body. I gained my control and quietly sat back down. Closing my eyes I snarled to myself; Either way, seeing him is never a good thing.
''Alpha Drake it is nice to see you too.'' Col. Mason greeted.
''What are you here for?'' I asked.
''I'm here to approve of the reversal contract you requested for.''
Shit! What contract was he talking about? Then it hit me. Sarah's contract! I had to silently gulp under my breath. I had indeed signed the request for it! I remember that day, when I couldn't figure out why she kept rejecting me. But that was almost two months ago! Time changed, everything was changing, for the better at that. I felt my belly receive a jolt of regret.
And of course I get a response at the worse time! The authorities surely do take their time!
''I told you not to sign that s**t, but no, you let your emotions get the best of you early on.'' I heard my wolf say.
Colonel then sat down in the available chair across Drake. Gracefully folding his legs and signaling me with some papers.
''Sarah will officially return to the Bronze Fangs pack initiated at this very moment. She is to be disowned from the Crimson Red pack at once.''
''I can't wait to be Luna!'' I heard Megan spring up with joy.
Fuck no.
Megan circled and placed the contract down on my desk. I didn't want to look at it.
''About that... I'd like to cancel the request,'' I dragged, ''Sarah is my true mate.''
Now flexing his knotted arms Col. Mason was a bit displeased.
''You do know you can't wed that girl.'' he reminded.
I looked to the side where all my active contracts was located at. I didn't want to see it, but it had been there. Way before I thought of meeting with Sarah, I never thought the moon Goddess would pair us up. The contract that consisted of the detail was one that dated during my own father's reign. He was the Alpha back in his time and in order to keep his position he vowed to the king that he would not wed or allow his descendants to wed any wolves lower than a Beta.
He declared allegiance and a promise as a sanctuary of the Alpha's bloodline. That day he returned and killed my own mother right before my eyes was the worst trauma I had received. I was only 8, too young to know what was going on, but old enough to understand what violence was. My mother was an Omega.
''We can't allow our bloodline to be tainted with the likes of weak strains.'' his cold voice echoed in my thoughts.
I was crying for my mom, I cursed my dad all my life until the day came when i had challenged him for the Alpha spot. I didn't like the way he reigned. He neglected the staff, starved his pack when they make a mistake, and worst of all threw anyone in the dungeons if they had a different opinion to his. That was me. That was always me! I always talked back, I knew it was wrong!
I was alone more than ever, being child abused, and getting taunted and bruises on the daily I was glad I had taken over. The man was evil! How could he have bared with the fact he had slain his wife who loyally stood by his side through it all?
I missed my mother, I didn't receive the nurturing love mothers provided when I was young. I became cold and ruthless. That was until I had realized why he did it. To please the king he sacrificed his own soul to keep a stupid high position.
I sighed away those memories, ''I know I can't marry an Omega.''
I felt as if someone had punched my throat as those words slipped out. I knew Sarah was an omega, but I would never allow her to share the same fate as my mother. I just wished there was some way to shred this contract.
''The king has appointed me to schedule you a private meeting with him.'' Col. Mason continued.
''We will keep in touch.'' he got up and headed to the door.
I sat there, speechless, I couldn't say, or do anything! I was just seething biting on my lips. This was too much to take in. And what did the king want with me? This day has officially turned to s**t.
Ring, ring riiinggg! Megan's phone rang.
She answered the call and did not speak a word. But a few seconds later she narrowed her eyes and nodded. She then turned to me.
''My job here is done. I have a special someone I have to see tomorrow, be a good boy while I am gone.'' she then finally left my side. Oh how I wished she could have done that since day one! Was the colonel her trump card? Was the king the true back mailer? There were too many factors to be sure of it.
How was I going to disown my own mate? I definitely will not! I've been waiting for her all my life, despite her pushing me away I knew she was only protecting herself. I'd rather die than to lose her!
What did she mean by she has someone to see tomorrow? Was it her master? The thoughts circulated and began to irritate the s**t out of me. But this would be the perfect time to catch up with Sarah. My chest relaxed and I once again drifted into vivid fantasies of her.
Before she would leave I grabbed onto her arm, ''Where is your master? I've endured this long enough!''
She looked at my grip then with an unimpressed expression, then back at my face before reflecting it off.
''Oh, that was indeed a promise, you will be seeing my boss real soon,'' she continued, ''But I didn't say this was going to be fair.'' and with that she walked out the door.
I felt myself speculating and over cranking my gears of thoughts. Shifting around the hints and clues trying to match and pin point who it could be, but it was unsuccessful. I couldn't assume anyone just yet. I had to bite my tongue a little while more.
::Billy's POV::
I couldn't mistake that howl. Her scent lingered freshly in the distance. Sarah was dashing off again into the woods. I had a feeling I knew where she was going. Dismissing myself from Janet who was shooting me harsh words as usual I made my way sniffing the trail she left behind. I hear Janet call out from behind me, and although my wolf wanted to obey, I turned back my focus and kept on running.
I felt my speed begin to pick up, and with a graceful leap through the air I have shifted. I padded against the soil, giving more strength to my hind legs. Then, another smell!? I began to sniff suspiciously as I kept my sprint going. This was not a familiar pack scent. Something about it made my wolf growl out loud.
''Intruder!''
I leaped over the branches and stones in my way. Something felt very wrong. Ina few minutes I had arrived at the very field I met our Luna in. I could remember that day like it was yesterday, she was howling in pain, all alone. I could not bare to see such a soul in despair. I've heard a lot from the maid staff of how nice she actually was, this peaked my interest because most Lunas would be perceived as cocky or a total b***h.
But she was different, and she proved it the days we had been together. She fought and trained like a true warrior, kicking the kinks of pain to the curb like it was nothing. We would laugh, joke, and I've basically considered her my little sister. She was also comforting, the perfect Luna for our Alpha.
I was just about to leap out from the bush until another did. A huge figure concealing his identity under a scentless cloak strangled Sarah from behind! Before I could think again, he jabbed a wolf's bane injection on her shoulder!
The smell was extremely strong, Sarah was now writhing in pain, trying to fight back but wasn't winning. I silently growled and positioned myself for an ambush, before seeing he had more of those along his belt.
''It wouldn't be any help if we both got captured.'' My wolf warned.
What should I do? I pleaded desperately.
Sarah was wailing and trying to scream through the bag that was choking at her neck. I heard myself whimper and begin to feel sorrow build up within me. I felt so useless!
''We have to alert the Alpha,'' he said in a hush tone.
Bu- But Sarah! That would mean she would be taken! My eyes started to shiver in fear. I could not allow her to be taken! My mind was racing, debating of what to do next. Then I felt my self take off, in the opposite direction!
I'm sorry Luna, I'll come for you, I promise!
I was too far to be able to mind link with Drake. I had to tell him as soon as possible! I was using all my speed and stamina flashing back through the woods. I was near the clearing when I was stopped by Janet.
''Where did you go? I was in the middle of talking to you!''
This was not the time. I tried to scoot for an opening at her sides, but she stood in the way.
''I don't have time for this!'' I aggressively grabbed her shoulders and pushed her out of the way. I kept on going, despite hearing my wolf curse at me. Now really wasn't the time! Our whole clan could be in jeopardy!
I made it to the mansion, I stormed through the door receiving a confused look from Melody.
''Where's the alpha?'' I panted, now realizing I had consumed most of my energy.
''He- he's in his office, why?'' she said.
I remembered how close Melody was to Sarah, she was her very first friend that she made when she came here. I grabbed her wrist and led her up the stairs, ''You! Come with me!''
