Chapter 54 - I'm Trying To Save You

Two Months Later...

Hayden's POV

"I don't want any f*cking excuses! We will find her!" I shouted at them all. They nodded respectfully before walking away in fear. It been a month since I talked to Lucas to find out the whereabouts of either Drake or Zara, but no results came from that. I've spent night and day searching for her.

I can't give up on her. I just can't.

Even my wolf feels restless. Since I mated with Miley...that still sounds wrong but...ever since then, my wolf has shown only five emotions: anger, sadness, depression, pain and worry. Ever second of the day we were both worrying about her, if she was being with...Drake. I could feel them doing it, and believe me it hurt like a b!tch. Oh, you can add jealousy to the list of emotions.

"Alpha---"

"Have you found anything?" I interrupted Conner. He sighed and I thought he was going to give me some more bad news but his lips formed a small smile.

"There's a trail,"

My head shot up to look at him immediately, "A trail? Are you sure?"

"Positive, we caught her scent. It seems like it's been there from two weeks ago. I don't think she ran away, she was kidnapped."

Zara's POV

I was peacefully sitting on the beach. I could see the gentle tug of the waves as they touched the shore and the wind swished through my hair. Everything was perfect. This is exactly how things should be.

"Mommy, mommy!" Hera shouted as she ran up to me. A smile instantly formed on my face.

"Hello, my beautiful angel. How was the water?" I asked her.

"It was so warm and nice, mommy but Daddy was being mean," she ended the sentence with a cute little pout on her lips.

"Aww, what did Daddy do now?" I asked her as I playfully glared at Hayden who was standing a few steps behind her.

"He and Zayden kept dunking me in the water,"

"Now is that the truth, pumpkin?" Hayden voiced as he lifted Hera from behind and flipped her in the air. She squealed loudly and screamed for him to let her go.

"Not until you tell Mommy what really happened," by now, he had Hera upside down and she was making faces like she wanted to puke.

"Hayden, put her down," I said laughing at the pair. He grinned at me then flipped her to the ground.

"Go play with your brother," Hayden told her giving her a kiss on her cheek.

"But I wanna play with you some more, Daddy," again with a pout that no one could refuse. Hayden sighed then poked her in her stomach.

"Well, give me a minute with Mommy then we can play some more, ok," he said, "we can probably go for some ice cream afterwards." She screamed in excitement then ran over to her brother. Hayden leaned over and passionately kissed me. Even after all the years, he still had my heart going through a frenzy.

"Hey beautiful," he said with a smile.

"Hey handsome," I said breathlessly. My eyes were still closed still feeling the tingles of his lips on mine.

"So, what about me Zara?" the only voice I feared asked. When I opened my eyes, everything was black. I closed them and reopened them only to find bodies on the floor. Hera. Zayden.

Hayden...

No please, no!

"I always get what I want, Zara," Zaviah whispered in my ear then he began to tear my dress, beginning his many ways of torture.

I shot up off the ground sweating like crazy. My vision was spotty but my eyes started to focus on my surroundings. Zaviah had moved me from the cell, but I was only moved out of the cell. Now I layed on a small dirty mattress with barely any clothes on.

He touched me. Zaviah raped me every chance he got since he's kidnapped me. I just don't know what...I just want Hayden. My wolf...she's been mourning ever since we got her, complaining about her distance from her mate. Now, all I wanted to do was to be near him. I miss him so much.

The broken door to the room screeched as the person entered the room. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. His scent told me all I needed to know. I cringed slightly when I saw him come closer to me. I tried to control the disgust look on my face, knowing I would be punished otherwise. He climbed on top of me and held my throat. I haven't eaten since two weeks ago- the time when I tried to escape. I was close too, but Zaviah caught me. From then, only Drake has been giving me only water but Zaviah has been raping me twice as much as he did before so it overworks my body.

My wolf was so weak. We could hardly resist anymore. His hand shot down to my visible private and started touching it roughly. Tears streaming down my cheeks, I tried to use my free hand to push him away but he wouldn't budge. I opened my mouth but nothing came out, my throat being so dry.

"Please," I barely found my voice to say. It probably sounded like a coarse whisper though.

"Oh, you want me to f*ck you," he asked rhetorically sliding his shorts down. It seemed like more tears were flowing now.

"No, please don't,"

"Don't tell me what to do, b!tch. I own you," he growled in my face then he proceeded to rape me. Each time I tried to struggle he would either growl at me, slap me, or plainly ignore me. He only took me for own entertainment. I was a game to him. The day before I tried to run away, he even allowed him and his men to have their way with me. All I wanted to do was end this. End myself. The room door opened and Zaviah growled at the person and stopped moving.

"What do you want?" he asked the boy. He looked about fifteen years old.

"Sorry...sorry, boss but...the Triton's...they..."

"Spit it out, dammit!"

"The Triton's know where we are. We heard they are preparing to attack us,"

Zaviah growled and slid off me, "How long has this been planned?"

"They found this place around Tuesday of this week because their sent still lingers near here," the messenger stated then glanced at me. I took the opportunity to reach out to him.

"Help me, please,"

Zaviah growled and pushed the boy out the room then stalked over to me.

"You know you're not supposed to speak," he snarled at me, "for that I'm going to punish you extra hard right now!"

My private really hurt right now. I felt as if my entire front was being drawn through barbwire. I couldn't even get up and stretch myself because of the chain on my left arm. My cheeks were stained with tears.

"Zara?"

"Drake, I...I need...water," I begged, "please." He was about to say something when Zaviah walked back in with a frown on his lips.

"You and that stupid excuse of a mate," he growled.

"Is there a problem?" Drake asked him in a monotone voice.

"Her damn mate found out where we are," he answered then walked over to me and picked up a piece of my clothing, "we need to get him off our trail. Get Alpha Carlos' men to form a new trail off her scent." Drake nodded and sent a sympathetic look to me before leaving the room. There were no raw feelings for Drake. I knew why he was doing this. Heck, I would do the same thing if I were in his position.

I felt Zaviah's presence on the bed. His fingertips started their pattern on my inner thigh, making me flinch away from him. Flinching was a bad idea because he wanted me to never be afraid of him. Then again, he loved when I cowered away from him. He enjoyed the power he had, the control he had, over me.

"You're so f*cking beautiful," he growled at me then grabbed my left breast. My arm instantly went up and pushed him away.

"Go to hell," I growled at him. He snarled at me and punched me in my face. The last thing I saw before darkness took over was his angry face.

Hayden's POV

The entire pack cheered when I completed my speech. We were going to get back our Luna. I walked out of my room and descended down the stairs. Only a few of the pack were going to retrieve Zara: James, Conner and Logan. After much talking and ordering, the girls decided to stay home with Bryon, since he would be helping us with the attack from these bastards.

When I got to the front porch, I saw the guys, along with Lilly and Abigale. I raised my eyebrow at the boys but they just rolled their eyes at me.

"They insisted on coming," Conner said.

"Insisted, convince, app---" James stated but Lilly elbowed him whilst blushing furiously. I shook my head and, for the first time in two months, I could feel a smile tugging at my lips.

"Let's just get this over with. I need my girl," I said and started walking, ignoring the few chuckles I heard behind me.

We walked through the woods, ready for anything. The time was slightly dark. I guess it was about half past six right now. We were almost near the abandoned house; I could see it in my sight. Just a few minutes from here. My sensitive hearing didn't pick up anything...

"Alpha Hayden," a growl caught my attention. We all froze when we heard this. I growled and turned around ready to attack.

"Who the f*ck are you?"

"I thought you would know who I am," he paused and looked behind me before smirking, "even since my dear friend is shaking to her knees just by my presence."

I snarled at him then took my stance of defence, "Where is she?"

"Well, that isn't exactly my part to tell, now is it," the man said then whistled. One whistle, just one and we were outnumbered. I looked around slightly. About twenty-five men were standing around us. This is not what I expected.

'He's Carlos, Hayden,' James told me through our mind link. He growled angrily at him.

'I need to find out more about this,' I informed him.

"I don't intend to fight you, I just want my girl back," I told Carlos. He shrugged with a smirk on his face. F*cking smirk!

"Not your girl, now is it? Since you chose to mate with someone else, huh?" he taunted making me snarl.

"Where is she?" my wolf was getting more irritated my the minute.

"Isn't my part to tell, now is it?" he sang then chuckled. That's when my wolf took control. I shifted and instantly lunged at him. I didn't care at this point in time. All I wanted was my girl.

Zara.
