I woke up on a cold concrete floor. I looked around to discover that I was in a cell.

"She's awake." Someone said.

I looked to see Dimitri standing in front of the cell.

"What am I doing here?" I asked.

"The Council wishes to speak to you." He said unlocking the door.

He walked over and tied my hands together before helping me stand up. He led me outside of the cell, down the small hallway, and up the stairs. At the top of the stairs he blindfolded me and then kept walking.

I could hear people walking past us and I could feel them staring at me. Couple minutes later I heard a door open and the a lot of voices.

"There she is." A woman said once Dimitri led me into the room.

He roughly sat me in a chair and tied to me to it before taking the blindfold off. In front of me sat about eleven people.

"What am I doing here?" I asked.

"We just wanna chat with you."

"About what?"

"The Beast."

"Why?"

"Well you see, your and his mating is forbidden. You're a human and he's......well he's himself. Crossbreeding is a big no-no in our world. We have no idea what the outcome could be. Your government has even forbidden it."

"But humans don't know about you all." I said.

"We know but it's a safety pro caution." A man said.

"What are you gonna do to me?"

"We are going to give you options. The first is that you can choose to die right here and right now. Option two is that you can move far far away and never look back."

"Why would I do either of those?"

"He's never going to love you." One woman spoke up. "He's can't. The demon is the one he listens to most and demons can't love."

"Not to mention the fact that his temper is uncontrollable and unpredictable. He could snap one day and kill you. You've heard that we captured long ago right?"

I nodded.

"Well we experimented on him. We tested to see what made him snap, what things made the demon mad, what things made the wolf mad, and what things made the vampire/man himself mad. 99% of the things we tried made them all angry. We tested to see what things could kill him because that was our first intention. We tried silver, wolfsbane, dead man's blood, burning him, cutting him, we tried anything and everything we could but non of it worked. His demon protected the wolf from the wolfsbane and the silver. The monsters inside him protected each other."

"Wouldn't tearing his heart out work?"

They all laughed at my question.

"We tried that but it wasn't beating in the first place. His heart is honestly like ice which backs up our point even more. He can't love you."

"He can learn." I said.

"That's very doubtful. Now, Dimitri is going to put you back in your cell so you can think of your options."

Dimitri blindfolded me again and took me back to my cell. I curled up on the crappy mattress and thought about everything.

He can't love me. He is can't feel or show love. All he feels is anger and hatred.

Maybe the best option is to leave.

"I'm coming with you." Seb said.

"I don't think so." I shook my head.

"Good thing I don't care what you think then." He said walking past me.

"Seb, I don't think tha-" He cut me off by holding his hand up.

"This is the first time in all of mine and yours existence that I've seen you care about someone besides me or yourself. I'm going to

help you get her back."

I sighed. "Fine."

"Great. Now where do we start looking? The Council has changed locations since the last time you were there."

"We need to find someone who knows where it is then."

We went into the nearest town as I hunted him down by scent. I walked into the building like I owned it.

"I need to speak to Mr. Jenkins." I told the lady at the front desk.

"He's upstairs in a meeting right now. Can I make you an appointment?"

"No thanks. He's expecting me." I said as Seb and I walked towards the elevator.

"Sir, you can't-" She was cut off by the elevator doors closing.

I took that time to roll up my sleeves because I didn't know how dirty it was gonna get.

The doors opened and followed his scent to the nearest door. I walked right on in to find him sitting behind his desk with his legs propped up on his desk and eating a salad.

"W-What are you doing here?" He asked when he saw me.

"You are going to give me information."

"I-I don't know a-anything."

"Oh I think you do. You are responsible for the auctions meaning you deliver half the money to the Council which means you know where they live and you're going to tell me."

"W-Why would I do that?"

I lifted him out of his chair with one hand and pinned him to the wall.

"They took my mate and I'm going to get her back so tell me where they are." I growled.

"I-If I d-do they w-will kill m-me."

"I'm going to kill you in the most horrific way I can think of if you don't tell me." I said shifting my eyes from blue to red and extending my claws.

"T-They live in a-a palace an h-hour North of here in t-the middle of the w-woods."

I dropped him on the ground and then left.

"He's going to call and warn them." Seb said.

"I know."

"They'll know you are coming."

"Won't change the outcome."

"Which is going to be what?"

"Them all dead and Davina safe in my arms."

We drove North until I picked up Dimitri's scent then we went by foot. We walked right up to a set of big iron gates being protected by six guards. I snapped their neck before they warn any others and walked right on in.

Like the gentleman I am, I knocked on the front door and waited patiently. Lucky for me, Dimitri answered the door.

"B-Beast." He said.

"Hello Dimitri. I believe you have something that belongs to me." I said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said starting to shake.

"Oh I think you do." I grinned pushing the door fully open.

I grabbed him by the neck and dug my claws in until they drew blood.

"Where is she?" The demon, wolf, and myself growled all at once.

"C-Courtroom." He gasped.

I twisted his neck before dropping him and going towards the courtroom. I opened the doors and marched in. I didn't know what to expect to see but what I did see made me more pissed than I've ever been.

The Councils' chairs were empty and an empty chair sat in the center of the room with blood around it that smelled exactly like Davina.
