I make it back to the van in record time and find it destroyed but empty of all life. It looks like they came here first and tore it apart before tracking us down. Shifting here was probably not the best idea because it's got to be the only way that they were able to track us way out to where we were in the mountains.
Shifting back without giving a shit if someone sees me, I grab all my clothes and start pulling them on. Finding Andrea’s phone in the back, I pick it up, and I thank God that her passcode is easy to figure out. Dialing the number I know instinctively, I call Momma Jo and put the phone on speaker. She answers on the second ring.
“Momma, she's gone and I don't know where she is,” I spit out the moment she answers. I hear a deep sigh come from the other end of the line. “What was that for? You only do that when you have bad news.”
“Well, Damien, I do have bad news and I knew it was only a matter of time before you called,” she says wearily.
“What do you mean, you have bad news? Do you know what the fuck is happening and why I had my head bashed in today?”
I all but yell at her. My frustrations grow out of control as I finish lacing up my boots before sliding my knife inside. Locking up all the doors to Andrea’s van, I start heading back to my apartment.
“Well, in order to cancel the hit, we had to turn over everything we found on Andrea. Including her location.”
Before I can respond to that, she continues.
“Trust me when I say that I didn't want to tell them where she was, but it's part of the original contract, so I had to. I just didn't think that they would be there to get her themselves so quickly. I was sure you had an extra day or two. I’m so sorry, Damien.”
She sounds utterly defeated and I know it isn't her fault. I'm just pissed off that I was so distracted that I let some assholes get the better of me. It was the first time that's ever happened outside of Andrea and it will be the last.
I will get her back and I will take out the assholes who thought they could take her from me.
“There isn't anything that you need to say sorry for, Momma. We will get her back. Let me just grab my shit from my apartment and I will be on the first plane home.”
I know she's blaming herself right now and she shouldn't be. It isn't her fault at all. It’s just the way shit has to go in this line of business. I should have known better.
Before hanging up to book a flight, I get her to get the boys to the house and fill them in on what's happened. I'm going to need every single one of them if we are going to get her back before something awful happens. Thankfully, she's already sent out the text and they're all on their way to her.
Taking one last look around the tiny apartment, I toss my bag over my shoulder and head to the airport.
Chapter twenty-four
Andrea
WherethefuckamI? How in the hell did I get here? God, why am I so sore!
Trying to remember what happened is causing my already aching head to throb worse. Everything is so fuzzy, and I can't pinpoint anything after I watched some asshole hit D in the back of the head. They must have given me something to knock me out.
Every part of me is in agony and trying to move seems to take everything I have. But my arms and legs won't move at all. I seem to be tied to a bed, and still fully naked. Whoever took me didn't even have the decency to at least cover me up.
Looking around the room, the realization hits me. I know exactly where I am. I know this room all too well, and I swore to myself that I would never find myself back here again.
Struggling against my restraints proves to be futile, as it only causes more pain to spread throughout my aching body. Giving up on my attempts to free myself, I hear movement outside the door, along with a few different hushed voices. Straining my ears trying to catch a snippet of something, the door flies open and he walks in. Having my fears confirmed, I pull at my restraints once again until my wrists are raw and bleeding.
“Now, now, little one. Just relax and let me get a look at you. You have a few fresh additions to this delectable body, and I want to see them all.”
He runs his tongue over his bottom lip as his eyes roam over my body. Eyes filled with revenge and need.
“Don’t you even fucking think about it, you piece of shit,” I spit at him.
He chuckles as he circles the bed I am in, eyes devouring every inch of my exposed skin.
“Andrea, is that any way to speak to your alpha?”
“You are no longer my alpha. I disowned you and this pack the moment that I left months ago. You are a fucking vile piece of shit. Now fucking let me go before I make you regret it”
Trying to muster up as much confidence as I can, I glare at him, not wanting him to see how weak and scared I am. I know for a fact that even if I managed to get out of these restraints, I would be no match for him or his lackey standing outside the door.
Rushing toward me, he leans over me, gripping my face harshly. His remains just inches from mine.
