54. Kidnap Stunt
ALPHA RAIDEN
My son was kidnapped within the walls of my home...
I was still getting used to having a son but there was no getting used to the fact that my home was not safe for my son and neither was my pack safe for my daughter.
How did anyone get into the mansion without alerting my senses? For fuck's sake, I've been standing in front of the mansion for what seemed like forever. Even though I couldn't perceive Kyle for some unknown reason, I should have perceived the person who kidnapped him.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
But strangely, there was no scent to lead me to the kidnapper...
Just a flimsy note with words that were obviously scribbled hastily.
"You want to see your son again? Await further instructions. Your ability to obey the instructions given would determine if you'd see him alive or dead, Alpha Raiden.... And oh! Congratulations on finding your long-lost destined mate."
Those were the words in the note left in my office by whoever took Kyle. I held on to Kyle's mask as I fumed. How did I go wrong with this pack? Bullies were terrorizing under my nose and now kidnappers?
"Someone on the inside must have done this. We can still find them if we hurry, Raiden." Lex barked into my mind, his anger steaming as it collided with mine.
I strolled past Aurelia who was on the floor, crying while Tristan comforted her. I thought about leaving Tristan in my office. That could be dangerous if he goes sniffing around but since Aurelia was there with him, he wouldn't risk blowing his nice guy cover.
When I entered the living room, I opened the mind connection between me and my warriors... every one of them. My words poured into their minds as I ordered fiercely, "A little boy was kidnapped in my mansion some minutes ago. I do not want to hear any excuses. Just find him and bring the kidnapper to me!"
They didn't have to respond. I trusted they would carry out my order-
"We can't just stay here and await further instructions. We've to find Kyle fast, Tristan. We have to find him and get out of this pack before I lose both of my kids." Aurelia cried to Tristan who had succeeded in getting her off the floor of my office.
Tears were rolling down her face as she spoke and the sight of her made my heart tighten. I loved that I was still connected to her even though our bond was barely alive.
"I've sent out a search party for him, Aurelia. He'll be found. I promise you." I informed her, hoping my words would ease her worry.
But she cried even harder, lashing out at me, "This is all your fault. Someone is out to get you and they are using my son as bait. You bring nothing but misery into our lives, Raiden but yet you're selfish enough to ask me to stay in your pack with my innocent kids. They don't deserve to be treated like this-"
Tristan cut in like a hero, "I'll find him, Lia. Trust me."
She gazed at him with fondness despite how sad she was. I'd be lying if I said it didn't break my heart but I gave them space. Even if I lose Aurela to Tristan, I shouldn't lose my son to a faceless and spineless kidnapper.
"Katie needs you to be strong and composed when you step out. Don't let her sense that Kyle has been taken. Can you do that?" Tristan asked Aurelia, cleaning her wet face with his personal napkin.
Although I hated him, I couldn't disagree with him. Katie shouldn't see Aurelia in this state.
"But I've to tell her. We'll both feel excruciating pain as soon as Kyle is taken beyond the borders of Dark Moon Pack. She'll find out sooner or later-" Aurelia muttered.
I cut in, "If you aren't feeling the bond stretching, that means Kyle is still within my pack territory."
"And that makes it easier to find him." To my displeasure, Tristan completed my statement, causing me to glare at him.
"We can use this knowledge to our advantage." I etched before turning my back on the lovers.
I opened a mental connection with Andrew and linked it to Jake's mind as well. "The Kidnapper is still within the pack Aurelia and Katie can sense otherwise so search every nook and crannies of the pack and
เวน:
get back to me with nothing but
good news. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Alpha!" They both answered.
I assured Aurelia by saying, "We'll find him before nightfall. Stop worrying and look after Katie."
To my surprise, she acknowledged my statement by nodding before she inhaled deeply. Aurelia wiped her face again and walked out of my
home afterward, clearly going tonet
Katie. Tristan waited behind,
watching her until she closed the entrance door and he snarled at me, "I swear to the goddess that I'd kill you myself if you've anything to do with this kidnap-"
Disrespect from Aurelia, I can take that.
But from Tristan?
Hell No!
"Remember who you are talking to and in whose house you are, Alpha Tristan of Black Fur Pack. I might be weak to her but you do not get to assume that I'm weak." I interjected, snarling right back at him. I didn't miss the way his eyes flickered as I let my energy loose, dominating the air around us.
"Show him who is boss around here," Lex growled in my head, ready to sink his canines into Trsistan's neck and watch him bleed to death.
"Aurelia might not see through you but I do-"
Tristan scoffed, "No one cares about what you think of me. Despite this kidnap stunt, they will be leaving with me. Like it or not."
"If that's what will keep them safe, it's okay. I obviously have to take care of some issues before-" I started but Tristan walked out on me, slamming my door as hard as possible.
"That son of a bitch. It's no wonder his parents were publicly executed." Lex gritted.
"He isn't worth the energy. Focus on helping me find Kyle so I can make her less sad." I was referring to Aurelia and Lex knew it.
However, there wasn't much Lex
could do, not when he couldn't perceive Kyle or feel any connection to him. put my faith in my men but after many hours of search, Kyle wasn't found and he was stilbwithin my pack.
Rather than get news about Kyle, I got a pissed Larisa as she stormed into my office, screaming, "What did I hear about you having a son with that bitch!"
