Sapphire's P.O.V

I was quietly drowning in my sorrows when I heard a knock on the front door.

"Who is it?" I called, not at all wanting to get my ass off the comfortable couch. Its been four hours

since Clover left and I'm already missing her. Silence replied me and I perked my ears to listen. I heard

breathing and their heart beating. I smelt a little musky scent and... magic! I widened my eyes. Shit!

The witches. I'm now pretty sure they work for Graysen. I was panicking inside. What am I going to do?

I took a deep breath and called out.

"If you're the postman than you can just slip the letters in. I'm having... woman business!" I mentally

face palmed. Really? Woman business? Gwen scoffed and Drew snickered. I panicked okay, I

defended. They aren't leaving... Gwen whimpered. Anymore things I could learn before the fight? I

asked Drew, carefully eyeing the door. They were going to knock the door down soon. Nope, Drew

popped the P. It was nice being with you, Gwen grinned. Shut it, we aren't going to die... The most just

being Graysen's mate, but still... I tried to reassure her. I would rather die, Gwen shrieked. Now's not

the time to freak out. Stay calm and focus, Drew snapped and I couldn't help but agree with her.

Another knock snapped me out of my thoughts. "Who is it?" I snapped. At least fool them that I didn't

know who they were. Then, a series of knocking continued, not stopping for a second. Fists kept

pounding and pounding nonstop. Fear consumed me.

Don't just stand there, are you embracing your death or something? Do something, Drew snapped. Do

what? I wailed. Hide in a room, Gwen suggested. Don't be an idiot, they'll find you in the matter of

seconds, Drew groaned. Then what? Gwen retorted. Shut up you guys! I screamed at them,

successfully shutting them up. I began pacing up and down the living room. Then, I remembered

something. Shit! I groaned. What? They asked stimulously. That grey pen. That fucking grey pen. I just

couldn't remember earlier, I cursed. Just spit it out, Drew growled. The grey pen I used to sign the

contract, I saw it once in Graysen's office. This was all a trap! I cried out. Crap. Okay, either way, I'd

rather die than mate to him, Gwen reminded. And my head would explode if you don't shut up, I

grounded out. She held out a surrendering posture.

The pounding increased and I heard the hinges squeak, almost giving out to the pounding. I darted into

my room and lock the door. I then pushed the bed and wardrobe against it. This should buy me some

time, but not for long. I looked around the room. My blue eyes landed on the open window. I stuck my

head outside and looked down. I was only on the 3rd floor, not too high from the ground. I could easily

jump. But is a dark alleyway, Gwen whimpered. It's better than staying here, I shrugged. I heard the

front door smash open and my breath quickened. I had my eyes trained on the bedroom door. What

astonished me was that I freakin forgotten that they were witches and had magic. The wardrobe

against the door slowly shifted away, as if pushed by invisible hands. Jump! If they do the same thing

with the bed then they'll get to us! Gwen screamed. The bed started moving and I took a deep breath. I

jumped down from the window and with a little help from Drew, landed gracefully on the ground. Go go

go! Gwen yelled in panic. What happened next went in a blur.

I was ready to sprint down the alleyway when something struck me. I fell face first onto the ground. I

turned my head to see dark grey eyes peering at me. They weren't the gorgeous shade my mate had,

they were dark, showing that he was a ruthless and cold person. But I couldn't help to check him out.

He was hot, not as hot as you-know-who, but still hot. He's six pack was outlined by the black shirt he

had on and his jeans hung low on his waistline. He's hair was gelled up.

He smirk at me, knowing very well that I was checking him out.

I scrambled to my feet as soon as my mind wrapped around that he was working for Graysen. Before I

could fully stand up, something was jabbed into my arm. I turned to see clear liquid slowly flowing into

my arm. I cries out as a hot searing pain went through my mind. I... Sapph, I... Something's wrong with

me... Gwen cried out. Wolf bane, Drew growled. Drew, it doesn't effect you right? I asked hopefully as

my eyesight turned blurry at the edges. It does, you guys are in pain, the pain is already effecting me,

she growled.

Then we have no chance of escaping... I sighed and closed my eyes, letting the darkness consume

me.

I have given up... fully, utterly and completely.

Ryder's P.O.V

All of us stepped out of the elevator, knowing that we would have to put up a fight before Sapphire

would let us in. Clover rushed excitedly but suddenly stopped and paled.

My eyes tured to the door in front of her. The door was open. Not normal open but there were a few

dents on the door. "Shit. No no no..." I mumbled and rushed forward.

I rushed into the apartment before Clover. Taking in the appearance of the now thrashed apartment, I

ran a frustrated hand through my hair. A few magazines were torn and scattered on the floor. The tv

was cracked and the coffee table's glass surface shattered. "The fucking witches!" Clover screamed in

anger. She had told me everything that happened to Sapphire during the stay. I was so disappointed

and angry that she didn't trust me enough to tell me. Witches. The witches Sapohire encountered was

powerful, powerful enough to impersonate someone else. I gripped the counter beside me till it cracked

under my hold. Eyes snapped to my white and now tainted red knuckles. "Ryder..." Alec started. "Don't

touch me." I growled and he stepped back. Blood was dripping but the wound was already rapidly

closing.

"What are we going to do?" Cole frowned. "What do you mean what to do? Let's go after her." Clover

urged. "No." I stated. "Excuse me?" Clover put a hand on her now stuck out hip.

"You guys aren't coming." I repeated. "And why is that?" Clover snapped before the guys could talk.

"Because, from what you told me, those witches were powerful, really powerful and you guys could get

hurt." I growled protectively. They were my friends, I don't want them hurt. Even Clover. Although she

have been a pain in my ass the past few hours. "Dude, don't worry about us. We'll be fine. We need to

work together to take them down." Cole placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Before I could say

anything, Alec cut in. "Yeah man, the fact that they are powerful makes a reason why we should stick

together." He shook his head. I smiled and nodded. What did I do to get such great friends I really don't

know. "Thanks you guys... really." I smiled. "Don't thank us, she's our soon to be Luna. We would do

everything to protect her. Including all the pack members." Cole smiled brightly. "And she's my best

friend. I was the one who left her here alone, I want to fix the mistakes I made." Clover smiled and I

nodded at her. "Although she deflated some of my ego when we first met, she's still someone I would

miss. Life wouldn't fun without her insults." Alec shrugged, a small smile hinting his lips.

"But we need to prepare back up. In case anything happens." Clover reminded and my blood ran cold

at the last sentence. I nodded my head curtly, my mind returning to worrying about my little mate.

Mum? I asked through the pack bond. Yeah? Is everything okay? Her answer came almost

immediately. She's gone. It's a trap and witches were in it. I growled. Oh no, what are you going to do?

Do you have a plan? Her rushed questions giving me a slight migraine. I just need you to stand by back

up for us in case anything happens, also be on your guard, I answered instead. Okay, she paused a

while, be safe. I will, I mumbled and shut down the pack link.

"Done?" Alec asked and I nodded in response. I paused and sniffed the air. Sapphire's exotic scent

faintly drifting in the air.

I followed the strongest trail which led to a room. "That was supposed to be Sapphire's room." Clover

said quietly. I ignored everything around me and stormed into the room. I knew that she wouldn't be I

her but I couldn't help the hope that blossomed in my chest. I shook my head. Of course she wasn't

here or I would've already sensed her.

The window was opened and the things inside were as untidy as the living room. I growled when the

thought of guys entering the bedroom that my mate occupied occurred to me. Cole placed a reassuring

hand ony arm, hoping to calm me. I walked over to the window and looked down. This is the 3rd floor,

knowing Sapphire, she would have tried her luck and leapt down. "Let's go." I informed. The others

trusted me and followed me without questions asked, giving Jay some satisfaction. I didn't bother using

the lift and just used the stairs. Something glittered at the corner of the stairs.

"Wait a minute..." Clover frowned. She picked the item up and I saw that it was a brooch. A brooch of

the letter J. "What?" I asked irritated, eager to go down to investigate. "This.. This looks so familiar."

She furrowed her eyebrows. My ears perked up, "familiar?" The thought have never occurred me. What

if... there was an insider? It was possible isn't it? I ran a frustrated hand through my hair. Dang it, I

didn't even think of that. Yeah stupid, why didn't you? Jay muttered. Then why didn't you tell me about

this possibility? I retorted. Shut up and find our mate, he growled.

"Jennifer! I remember it! I saw her wear it once! That she devil!" Clover suddenly growled. "Jennifer?

You sure?" I sniffed at the brooch and I couldn't smell anything.

"Yes. I'm fucking sure! Bitch!" She suddenly yelled. "Hey, calm down redhead." I muttered. "What did

you call me?" She demanded. "Dude... wrong nickname..." Cole mumbled. "Okay. We have serious

things to do. If she was really kidnapped by Graysen, shit can happen anytime now." Alec growled. I

could literally feel the colour drain from my face. "She could get raped or pregnant. Shit." Clover

gasped with fear in her eyes. I pounded my fist onto a nightstand table and it broke under the pressure.

Clover widened her eyes at me. Jay was already pushing for control right now and I know that my eyes

are flashing between grey and black.

"We'll get her back... Let's make a plan now before anything happens to her." Cole soothed. I gulped

hardly and nodded.

And we started thinking of ways to get my mate back... untouched...
