“Rylie, settle down. She’s been through something. Just look at her.” Dad tries to reason with the hormonal woman. I’m not even that brave.
“I don’t care.” She heaves.Damn, she’s pissed.
“Where is your car, Thea?” Mason enters the fray, leaving the rest of us to circle around Roper’s fuckup of a cousin.
Fuck, she does look bad, worse than I’ve ever seen her after a bender.
Someone’s beat her.
I can see that as clear as if it were day.
“He promised m-me.” She’s hysterical.
“Who did this?” Roper demands, joining us. He’s the only one who can deal with her in any state. She’ll actually listen to him.
One name comes out that has me wanting to strangle her. “Gr-Grant.”
Ice fucking cold.
My blood is frozen because Thea had something to do with this.
She’s the one who led that bastard out here.
Do away with her now!
Containing my rage and werewolf aren’t going to do much good now. My face pulls out, forming my snout as my teeth sharpen.
Roper looks at me, and his eyes widen under the brim of his black hat. It’s a rare display. He looks back at her. “Did he take your car?” He isn’t gentle because he has come to the same conclusion as me.
“Y-Yes. He t-took her and th-then tossed me a-after h-hitting me,” she wails, falling to his feet.
Let this be a lesson to her.
Agreed.
“Where was he taking her, Thea?” Rylie is frantic now. Realization has hit her too of what happened. “Where is my friend?” Mason manages to grab Rylie before she can attack an already traumatized Thea.
“He didn’t tell me.” She’s still at Roper’s feet, trying to get attention from her cousin to pick her up.
He won’t.
“Bullshit.” I’m not holding back anymore. “Where the fuck is my mate?”
“Miles.” Dad and Mason bark at me at the same time. Their power combined halts me from pulling Thea up and shaking the shit out of her. Dad is the one who continues. “Get ahold of Alexa’s parents, and we’ll start our search.”
“We’re wasting time,” Mason adds before issuing orders. I’m back in my Jeep with him and heading out. He’s on the phone with the sheriff, and I’m shaking as I dial Alexa’s dad, Teague.
Chapter Thirty-Six
Alexa
My body is jostled, waking me with a thump. I barely have time to catch myself before I’m falling out of a bed.
“Wh-What?” My hands are bound in front of me as I brace my body at the edge of the bed, trying to figure out where I am. Flashbacks of the last time I was awake hit me square in the chest.
Panic resumes.
Oh my God. Grant has me. I’m with Grant!
