Chapter 120

Valen POV

We found Marcus when we located the car. He was furious and I couldn‘t get a coherent thought out of him, whatever he felt through the bond made him want blood. He was more crazed than any forsaken I had come across, it took 12 of my men and myself to take him down. We had to sedate him, which only caused fear to twist in my stomach

We found Zoe‘s car down a ravine by the reserve. It was on its roof but no sign of the girls, yet tire tracks in the mud told us they were run off the road. We had the entire city out looking for them. None of us could locate them via the mindlink. Slasher pack was also out searching. John was beside himself and Everly was a frantic mess. In a matter of minutes our world‘s were turned upside down and Everly was convinced Nixon had come back and took them

I had men out looking for Carter and he was located quickly. He gave us the all clear to search his pack. Two days they were missing for, it made no sense, until the first ransom call came in.

A growl tore out of me when I heard Everly answer the call and Carter‘s voice was heard on the other end.

“Now that I have your attention and you have been unable to locate them, you will meet my demands,” Carter states. Everly stared at the phone checking the number and it was definitely Carter‘s name. She puts him on loudspeaker and my brows furrow. The bastard even helped us search his pack territory. Was this some sick game to him?

“Carter?” I asked.

“Hello Valen,” Carter drawls through the phone.

“Done wasting resources? Though I am shocked at how hard you searched for Zoe,is it?” I growl at him opening the mind link

“You sick fuck, Marcus will kill you when he gets his hands on you,”

“I never touched her,” he claims.

“Find Carter! He has them,” I call through the link.

“Well, that was fast,” he says, confusing me.

“Excuse me?”

“Two seconds and I hadn‘t even asked for anything yet and you called across the mind–link. You won‘t find me,” he says and I look at Everly.

He laughs, I knew he was crazy but this was a whole other level..

“I have a mole. Don‘t be surprised, you have plenty of enemies in this city. It shouldn‘t come as a surprise to know one lives in your pack,” Fuck! That renders the mindlink useless.

“Where is Ava Zoe?” I demand.

“With me, of course. Now call off your men or, I send Zoe back in pieces,” Everly whimpers beside me and I glance at her, the blood draining from her face. Macey bursts into the living room, she had been staying here while we organized search parties. She rushes to Everly side and helps her sit down.

“What do you want? I swear, if you have hurt them…” though I knew he already had, by the fact my Beta has had to be sedated for two days.

“You‘ll do nothing Valen. I am calling the shots. Now I have two requests. One, I want the money John owes. Two, you stand down as Alpha, hand your pack over to me, and leave the city. Leaving your mate and son behind until I know you are far enough away for me to escape.”

“Like fuck I will! Hand them over and we can talk this out,” I tell him.
