A Mate That was Lost

Part 2: Chapter 1

Three Months later

Lani

These past three months have given me time to think about my life. My life kinda sucked. Yes, I may have found my mate, but he was also the guy who bullied me most of my life. My mother was killed when I was a baby. My father, if you can even call him that, did unspeakable things to her that caused her to try and escape his clutches, which got her killed in the end.

That last part makes my blood boil especially since that information is still new to me and I have yet to really process it. It also didn’t help that my so-called father kidnapped me and is currently sitting across from me chatting away while I silently plot his death.

The first month after he kidnapped me was hard. I was beaten almost everyday because I refused to listen to any of his crazy ramblings and tried to escape a few times. I even attacked the people who came down to bring me food. I even attacked Azazel when he came down which ended with me being beaten so bad it took my wolf days to help me heal.

“Lani, are you even listening to me,” Azazel growls, clearly annoyed.

I snap back to reality and narrow my eyes at him.

“Nope,” I said, with a hint of smugness in my voice.

He narrowed his eyes at me and I met his glare head on. He finally closes his eyes and sighs. He leans back in his chair and pinches his nose like he is getting a headache. I smile knowing that I am the cause of his current pain.

“I don’t know why you are refusing to cooperate and at least be civil with me,” Azazel said, opening his eyes to look at me. “I am trying my hardest here to be nice. You can’t expect me to continue to be nice. You should be grateful that I am even trying to be nice.”

“Nice,” I scoff. “You kidnapped me, took me from my mate and pack, and beat me within an inch of my life. Oh, and don’t forget all the horrible and nasty things you did to my mother before you killed her.”

“Your mother was a w***e,” Azazel snarled. “She tried to take you away from me. When I caught her at the border it was clear she wasn’t going to come back. I had no choice but to kill her.”

He smiled at the memory. I narrowed my eyes and gave him my most nasty glare. I know he’s down playing what happened. He didn’t just kill her when he found her. He r***d her first. It was one of the things he told me as he was beating me. The hate I have for this man is something I have never felt before. I made up my mind a long time ago that Azazel had to die, and I was going to be the one to kill him

“We have to get outta here and get back to mate,” Diamond growled.

I don’t respond and keep my eyes trained on Azazel. Diamond and I have been biding our time and making plans to try and escape. During the first few weeks I had hoped that Jake would find and rescue me but as time went on that hope quickly dimmed and we came to the conclusion that we might have to save ourselves. I was totally fine with that because I trained my ass off and I can take care of myself.

Jake

It had been three months since Lani was taken. Three long months since my wolf and I smelt her scent and felt her touch. I have been working my ass off trying to find her. I didn’t sleep for more than two hours the first few weeks. I was delirious and I actually thought that I was seeing her everywhere I looked. Brian had to sedate me for a few days after I attacked one of my warriors.

Right now we were looking for Lani’s father, Azazel. If we find him we find Lani. After he attacked the pack and took Lani he and his inner circle disappeared leaving his Beta in charge. His beta isn’t talking to us and refuses to give up his alpha so I have warriors stationed watching all the borders, with the permission and help from other packs. We are hoping that one of the warriors will lead us to Azazel but so far nobody has seen wolves leaving the territory. That alone told us that Lani was somewhere on Azazel's pack’s territory.

I have been slowly losing my mind. We never had a chance to accept one another. Even though we weren’t full mates I could still feel the mate bond so I know that she is still alive. During the first two weeks after she disappeared, I swear I could feel pain in my body that I didn’t have an explanation for. I had gone to the infirmary to find out what it was and the doctor told me it was the mate bond. That bastard was having his daughter beaten or doing the beating himself. That knowledge only fueled my rage and I needed to find her.

After a while I stopped feeling the pain but could still feel the bond so I knew the beatings had stopped. I feared that she had joined her father and his ridiculous need to rule. Victor assured me that she would never do such a thing.

I paused my pacing and froze. Why hadn’t I thought of it before. I smiled and reached for my phone and called the Blue Moon alpha and told him to gather his most trusted wolves. Then I mindlink my beta and gammas to meet me in my office. I had a plan and I was getting my mate back tonight.
