“Try to stay calm,” she said. “Remember that we can’t help her if we freak out.”

My heart clenched painfully. What the hell was this video about? What will I see? Will I be able to handle it?

I felt Gabriel stiffen beside me. I looked at him and saw him taking a deep breath, trying to prepare himself for what we were about to see.

Annie pressed play, and we could hear the door opening. The lights turned on and I saw my mate. She was sitting on a chair. Her hands and feet were tied to the chair she was sitting on. She slowly lifted her head, and I could see that her lip was split open.

Somebody had hit her.

I started shaking. A vicious growl escaped me. I saw red. I will kill him!

Annie stopped the video and turned to look at me. “Nick, please. Try to remain in control. You need to see this.”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I nodded for her to continue.

She pressed play, and we heard a man’s voice.

“Hello, Aria,” he said. “It is so good to finally have you here.”

She stayed silent, and the man laughed.

“I can see that you are not happy, little witch,” he said. “I have some questions for you before we move on to the main reason why you are here. One more thing, I am filming this so I can send it to your friends. I decided to be nice and give them one last memory of you.”

She fidgeted in her seat and looked at the camera. She looked so small and helpless. My heart was breaking into a million pieces. I wanted to hold her.

“How many people were in the cabin with you?” he asked her. “I only saw two. Your friend and her boyfriend. I mean, seeing the two of them was enough and they served their purpose, but I am curious. Who else was there with you? Calvin said there were seven of you, but I wonder if there are more?”

“I am not answering that,” she said quietly.

The sound of her voice made me gasp. I didn’t even realize how much I missed her voice. Gabriel sighed and closed his eyes. I guess I was not the only one who missed hearing her voice.

The man laughed. “Feisty. I like it. I will have fun breaking you, Aria.”

She froze at his words.

“Calvin had a great taste in women,” he continued. “I promised to give you to him once I took everything that I needed from you. Now that he is gone, you could be mine, little witch.”

NO!

NO FUCKING WAY!

HE WASN’T GOING TO TOUCH HER!

I growled and jumped up. And I wasn’t the only one. Gabriel and Jacob were on their feet, looking ready to kill him.

“Sit down,” Annie said calmly. “There is more.”

“I CAN’T!” I screamed. “I can’t sit the fuck down while she is at his mercy!”

“Nick, we don’t know where she is!” Annie yelled at me. “You need to watch this. I know it is hard, but it will be worth it.”

Gabriel, Jacob, and I sat back down, and Annie continued playing the video.

“I will never be yours, Victor,” Aria said calmly.

So, the man she was talking to was Victor.

Victor laughed. “Who killed Calvin, Aria?”
