******************

To my eyes, I'm horrified.

"Now listen here Bitch. You're gonna stay quiet and your gonna do as I say. Or your fucking friends here die. Got it!"

My chin quivers as I nod frantically. My dad found me.

I knew he would. I can't risk anything now. "Please d-don't hurt anyone."

"Shut up!" He says grabbing me and dragging me to the window. No no no. I can't leave.

Hunters gonna think I left him.

"Please don't!"

"I SAID SHUT IT!" He hisses at me as he grabs my throat and slams me to the window. He starts muttering words and my vision goes black as a fog covers us.

He got me.

This is it.

I'm a dead man.

-------------------

Hunters POV.

-------------------

"Somethings going on." I say to Sarah after a few minutes.

"Oh calm down. He's just putting Lou to bed."

"No. Somethings wrong." I say looking around. "Somethings off." Sarah looks around and her face scrunches.

"I can't smell Tristan anywhere." She says.

"Me neither." We start for the door but the shut on us and lock us in. "What the hell!"

"What's going on Hunter?"

"I don't know!" We try to get the doors open but as soon as we can't Sarah goes for the windows and there's locked too. I break a chair and bust open the door with it, breaking off the lock and doorknob. "Come on." There's a fog covering the floor and everyone on the second floor is knocked out. People lay on the stairs knocked out cold and all the doors are shut on the first floor.

People are starting to bust out but me and Sarah race up the stairs, covering our faces with our shirts just in case. My door is locked and I have to kick that down too.

"TRISTAN! TRISTAN WHERE ARE YOU!"

"Tristan!" We search my room and Lou's for him but he's not here. I can't find his scent anywhere.

Oh my god!

Lou is still asleep in her bed when we get in and Sarah grabs her in her arms as I run back to my room again.

"Where is he!" Sarah screams at me from outside my door.

"Fucking! The rouges! They were a god damn distraction!"

"What are you-"

"I'll explain later! Let's go!" I say dragging her down the stairs to the first floor, passing doctors on the second floor.

"What's going on?"

"Where are we?"

"What happened?" People ask as they are ushered into the hall, probably not the best idea right about now.

"Dad!" I yell as he searches the first floor.

"Do you know what's going on?" He asks as I reach him.

"The rouges! They were a distraction. Tristan gone."

"What do you mean?"

"Tristan's dad was using them! He took Tristan." I rush it as I freak out.

"Calm down. We'll figure this out."

"No we need to find Tristan!"

"And we will. Go get your mother and the betas, along with the council. Talk them through this as I talk to the pack. I'll meet you all in my office. I need to take care of people." I nod frantically and try to get everyone and the council and I find my mom in Lou's room holding her tightly with Sarah by her side.

"Dads office. Now." I rush her into the room as I panic. My mind is racing and I have so many emotions going through my head right now. Tristan was taken by the bastard! I have to get him back!

I can't believe I let my guard down like that!

He was taken and I wasn't there to stop anything!

I need him. The only things going through my head now is Tristan. I swear to god if the man touches him once I'll kill him.

I need my mate. As soon as everyone is In the office I rush through what I told dad and everyone goes pale.

"Your saying your mate. The human, was taken by his dad and we didn't catch it? And that he was working with the rouges...his father, a human?"

"How did he mask his scent?"

"How on earth would you even know this hunter?"

"I just know!" I say over all the questions coming at me.

"How do you know the Human didn't run himself?" I turn my head and glare at all of them.

"He would run out like this! That's not him. He warned me that his father would come and get him! This is my fault! But we need to focus on finding him!"

"We will not act until we know for certain he was taken!"

"THEN HOW THE HELL TO DO EXPLAIN THE FOG AND EVERYONE FAINTING AND GETTING LOCKED IN! How the hell do you explain this! Out of everything that happens right now when he just disappears?"

"Are you sure the human wasn't hiding anything from you?" Someone asks. "None of us know him and we only have your word Hunter. What good is that to us?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Hunter calm down. Everyone calm down!" My mom yells over all of us as my dad walks in. "Tristan is a good boy with a rough past. He would not run like this. I know him too, I've spent time with him, a lot of time. he wouldn't run, not when he was feeling safe here."

"I can confirm this." A witch comes in behind my dad and starts talking again "We found cloaking spells outside the house. Someone was here. He covered his scent and used a number of spells before vanishing with the human."

Everyone looks down as I stare at her. "What are we going to do Alpha?" Everyone turns to my father as he rubs his head.

"We find him. Tristan is my sons mate and we swore to protect him. He is apart of this pack now and if his father hired someone to get him he knows about supernaturals, which makes his even more dangerous. And if he got the rouges to work with him there in the woods right now we don't know who else he had with him. Mark, get our best trackers out there with some guards and search until you get a scent. I don't care how long it takes, just get it done. Lila, get the witches out there and get a protections spell up around the house and fields. I don't want anyone on our land unless they are part of our pack. Go. now."

Mark and Lila get up and leave to their new jobs as the head guards stay behind. "Once we find Tristan's scent we will track it and get him back. Have members ready at all times! I want guard everywhere inside and out at all times."

"Yes alpha." The guard get up and leave, leaving my mom, dad and me left.

"You, are under lock down." He says pointing to me. "Your staying in the house until we find him."

"Dad!"

"No! Go to your room and stay put. It's for your own safety, I don't want you taken too. With Tristan gone now, I need to make sure no one is after you either. We'll find him, alright. I am trusting you on this hunch Hunter, trust me when I tell you to stay put." Getting up from my chair nodding, I know better than to argue right now.

Running to my room, I basically flip the entire thing looking for something that would say his dad was in here, something to help find him.

"God dammit! How did I let this happen!" I'm so fucking stupid! How did I lose him!

I just lost Tristan. My heart races as I walk around and tear my room apart. I can't believe this happened. All I can think is about getting him back and killing his dad.

I swear to god he's not living if I get to him first before anyone else! My heart races so fast that I sit and cry, clutching my chest as a panic hits me hard.

how did I let this happen?

-------------------

Tristans POV.

Later that night.

-------------------

My head is throbbing. Everything hurts and my eyes feel so heavy. Forcing my eyes open I'm in a very, very dark room chained up. My feet and arms are chained to a wall and I can't move. My whole body hurts and burns. I tug but it hurts more each time I do and it's just a waist of the energy I have, which doesn't feel like much.

"Well god damn, your finally up."

I lift my head shoots up, causing a stream of pain to my neck. I see my dad closing the door behind him as he walks in. Getting closer to my I move my head down and stare at the ground.

"So, let's get this straight you little fucker. You thought you could get away from me, ran into some wolves who took you in. Met another fag like you and got really close? But then I found you and your never going to be leaving again."

"Please. I-I can't-"

"SHUT IT!" He screams get closer to me and forcing my head upwards to look at him. His hands grips my hair and he forces me up at him. He looks worse than usual, his eyes are red and he has bags under them too, like he hasn't slept in days. His hair is undone and messy and he smells like cigarettes and of alcohol.

"Fucking slut." He says dropping me back to the ground.

"Just let me go." I whisper. "You know I wouldn't tell anyone."

"That's not happening anytime soon fag. You're in for a real treat." And with that his hand met my cheek and my face stings harshly. "Your not leaving until your dead bitch." He mutters blow after blow. Kneeing, punching, slapping me time after time for hours.

At some point he gets those brass knuckles that you put over your fingers and uses that on me. cutting my leg open and my arms making me bleed, not enough to bleed out but enough to ensure I can't walk. My lip is busted again and my face burns and I feel like I'm about to puke. I can't describe the feelings that I have right now.

oh wait, I just did.

I just want this to stop, I don't want this pain. I don't think I can handle much anymore. I haven't felt this way for weeks and it's all rushing back to me. I haven't been beaten this bad for weeks, and if I thought the guys at prom were bad, this is a million times worse.I want hunter by my side telling me it's going to be okay.

I just want Hunter.

I need him right now. I try to focus on him instead of my dad like he wants. He wants me to focus on the pain and him for as long as he has me here.

"I'll deal with you later. I have other matters to attend to now."

Thank god. I groan as he shuts the door and I'm alone again. I can't believe this happened. He actually found me? Tears fall down my face in pain.

Mentally and physically. Every hurts so much. I'm still in disbelieve and I really want to say that this is all a dream, but another part of me hates myself for letting my guard down.

I just want to go home. I want to go away.

-------------------

Hunters POV.

Later that night.

-------------------

I can't handle this. My room is turned upside down and me and Grey are fighting. We can't handle this. I think I've shifted at least twice and I really don't remember what happened.

I promised Tristan his dad wouldn't get him. I let my guard down! I fucked this up! He's not going to want me back now!

"Fuck!" I yell as I sit in the floor and tears flood my eyes. I need to get Tristan back and I can't do anything!

"Hunter. We found something. Come and meet us please." My mom says through the door. Looking up at the door in a bit of shock, I quickly wipe my face and race to my dad.

"What! What did you find!" It's only been twelve hours now, but those hours have been long and painful.

"Calm down. It's not much but we can work on it. We are trying right now. We picked up a scent and we sent a few trackers out."

"Where? If it Tristan's I can track it faster."

"Hunter. We don't know who we are dealing with."

"Dad. If you don't let me do this I swear to god, I am going out and getting him by myself. I can't take this, even if it's only been hours, his dad is crazy and unstable. He'll kill Tristan within a day."

"Hunter I understand but you are not thinking straight-"

"You don't understand! Unless mom was taken from you, which I am sure I would know about, you don't understand this right now. You don't know the half of what he goes through or what he went through on a daily basis! Don't say that, I am finding him. It's the only thing I can do besides beat myself over this." I say as I leave the room and soon the house.

Shifting as I run into the woods and As soon as all my bone are done breaking and I'm in my wolf form I sniff around for the trackers scents.

Taking off into the woods I catch the trackers and every spot that they've been in.

Soon I stop dead in my tracks as I'm tossed back my another wolf. Getting on my feet right away and looking at the wolf, I relax when I see that it's my dad.

"I told you to stay put Hunter."

"And you weren't doing anything. I'm not going to wait for someone to get back for all of us to travel to make sure they were right to find my mate dead!" I say through our link before turning around. My dad catches up to me as I walk through the woods trying to find scents.

He doesn't argue with me on this, which is surprising. I would almost guess he feels bad.

"Wait." I take off in the direction of Tristan's scent. The faint smell of Apples and cinnamon fills my lungs.

Whoever took him can mask their own scent but they can barley mask Tristan's for long. What ever spell they was using is waring off faster than they thought it would or they must have been using a short term one.

"Hunter. We're leaving our territory."

"Onto what? There's no one claiming this land, were fine." With that my dad rolls his eyes and let's me lead us, seeing as he can't smell Tristan as good as I can.

"Careful, rouges live here. Just keep a guard up Hunter. After following what ever we are onto, eventually we get to an old house. I didn't even know this was a thing here.

After linking some of the pack we stop and wait outside the broken down home, I would rather charge in there but now I am being forced to use my head for once. I know that isn't smart.

"Are you sure he's in here?"

"I'm positive. But If his dad has the rouges on his side we need to be careful. Me and my dad will get Tristan out of there and deal with his dad."

"I can't believe this is happening. Hunter, you do know if it comes between you, your father or The human; we will not hesitate to save you and your father first."

"I know. But that won't happen. But if comes to me or Tristan, I wont hesitate to get him out of there first. Let's go."

-------------------

Tristans POV.

-------------------

My face is bleeding now and I can barley breathe that's how much this man I call a father has beat me up. With constant hits with what ever tools he has to the chest and head I don't think I can last the night.

He is really out to kill me this time. And it might happen.

"Stupid kid. I can't believe you've made it this fucking far in life."

"Your the o-one who Kept m-me alive." I mutter out getting a small bit of bravery out of no where.

"Shut it! You stupid wolf." My slowly raise my head to look at him.

"W-what?"

"You fucking wolf! Just like your goddamn mother!" He turns around and stares at me with a syringe in his hand. My eyes narrow as he walks closer to me.

"You didn't know? You fucking idiot! How the hell do you think you got a fucking mate! It's not fate! Sharp body pains for hours on end! Sudden urges and feelings! I would have thought I raised you smarter than that. With you snooping around and stealing things from me, I would have thought he knew this by now! You know nothing? You know nothing of this world!"

He only laughs at me and puts the syringe in my neck. Injecting me with a yellowish liquid that's burns me, making me gasp for air.

"If you don't believe me, let's test this out. Your weak because the silver chains around you and I'm injecting you with wolves-bane, which is deadly and very dangerous to wolves. And while you get all fuzzy and such I'll be tracking down your fucking mate."

"Go....to he....hell." I try to mutter our but my vision gets blurry and my head spins even more.

"Oh I will. And I'll drag your sorry ass with me. If you have stayed alive this long, you might just have to be useful for me Tristan."

"Don't...don't touch....hi-him." I try to get out before passing out.

-------------------

Hunters POV.

-------------------

Only a few rouges were outside and they were all super small ones. Getting in is easy, Busting down the door and seeing nothing inside besides a broken down home and Really old wood is covering this place out with mold and shit and it's getting foggy.

"What's going on?"

"Where is the fog coming from?"

"Let go." All of us move forward and spread out, trying to be safe and figure this all out of harder than it seems.

"Hunter?" We all look around for Tristan but he's no where to be found.

"Hunter over here, come here. Hunter lets just talk about this." We all look for Tristan but no one can find him.

"Hunter don't. This is a trap."

"I-I..."

"Hunter. Don't." My dad reassures me and brings me back. I have to shake the sound of Tristan out of my head and listen to my pack. I can't fall for any tricks now.

I just need to get Tristan back.

Out of know where rouges come out of the corners of the room that the fog was covering and attack us. With rouges rounding around us and attack everyone we're out numbered by a few.

Fighting them off one by one, I'm scratched up everywhere just like everyone else, but out of the corner of my eye I watch a man walk into a hallway, running from the fight.

"Dad. This way!" I get through our mind link and leave the group well knowing they can take care of themselves against a few small rouges. We chase down the man into a room but stop dead in our tracks as we see Tristan and His dad standing in the room.

"Well well. Look you little fucker, I told you I'd get him. Welcome." He says pulling Tristan's head up to look at us.

Tristan is chained to the wall and his shirt is blood stained everywhere. His face has so many bruises and cuts too, his eyes are blood shot and blood is all over him.

Just like when I found him the first time. His lip quivers as he looks at me hazily, he's barley staying awake. I stare at the injection marks on his neck and growl loudly. I can only look at Tristan and I can't fucking stand the sight of it.

I growl loudly again and stand my ground not wanting to cause Tristan anymore harm, but his dad is ready to kill him, he's watching me more than my dad right now and that's dangerous.

"You got a brave one Bitch." With this I take one step forward and as soon as I do a knife Spears in His fathers hands, he moves the knife to Tristans neck and moved his hand away, leaving the knife floating at Tristan's neck barley touching it.

He's the warlock.

There is no way His father is a damn warlock.

Tristan groans as it starts to burn his skin, the smell if flesh burning hits my nose making me growl loudly.

"One more step wolf, and he's dead."

We can't do anything right now, but wait. "I see your friends have finished off my rouges. Well this won't be the last time you see me son." He says to Tristan before disappearing with out a trace. We can only stand there as the knife drops and Tristan chokes trying to get air in and out of his lungs, which refuse to work for him.
