Chapter 29
HAILEY STEWARTS
Sitting in the back of the van my feelings are in turmoil, with no idea why I'm being kidnapped.
I've been trying to free myself from the rope tied tightly with my hand behind me but it doesn't budge.
I panic at the back of the van, not aware of my surroundings and trying to figure out how to escape.
I feel the van slow down and soon enough gets to a complete stop.
A movement happening outside and a lot of people talking to one another before the back of the van doors are pulled open I could feel the wind on my skin.
The van rocks a little as someone climbs on walking up to me and he pulls off my eye mask.
I squint my eyes and shut the light stings.
"Hello there" I blink rapidly till I get used to the light, looking up at the guy that removed my mask.
He smiles up at me with a tattoo seeping from his neck and down his arm wearing a white shirt, black jeans and spiky boots.
"Welcome to the badlands" he smirks exposing his pierced tongue.
Another guy climbs in and they both pull me out of the van to a tall scary looking building, like one of those in the movies that they say were hunted. A lot of people were outside looking rugged in their tattoos and piercings. "Where the hell are you taking me to?" I yell.
"You'll find out soon enough don't worry sweetie we won't hurt you"
"Much" his companion adds, shoving him in the tummy as they both laugh.
"Why am I here?" I will try a different approach.
"Don't ask me we're just following orders" we cross the main room taking a left into a hallway we go down a staircase to a darker area that reminded me of the dungeons and it looked like it.
We pass through cages a few empty some with people inside till we stop at one.
A guy was already inside my eyes and flash in recognition.
Aitch the guy from Melissa's house the reason I was here in the first place.
"Who do we have here? A little birdy told me we just bagged Jaden Perry's mate" grinning widely he walks up to me and pulls the side of my collar to see the bite marks.
"Those are Alpha bite marks alright"
"So tell me what is your name" I glared at him, angry that the only reason I am being held captive is because I'm unfortunately marked by Jaden.Visit Jo bn i b.com to read the complete chapters for free.

"Ahh but your neck states otherwise I wonder how Jaden will feel seeing his precious mate's head in a delivery package"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you but Jaden Perry doesn't give a f**k if I live or die he'll simply toss my head in the trash I would know that because he just banished me" I spit.
"Then you're of no use to us, kill her" he says walking away, one of the guys hurrying inside holding a knife.
"No please I can help you take down Jaden Perry"
He holds his hand stopping him.
"How do you expect to kill Jaden Perry when you're a rogue"
"I can find a way back into the pack I could return back he would accept me"
"Ha!" He laughs, "You really expect me to believe that, even if you can manage to get into the pack how will you succeed in killing Jaden Perry" he crouches low to my level.
I gaze up at him looking him square in the eyes.
"Because I hate Jaden Perry"
"Funny almost everyone here does for a long time now but guess what he's still alive"
"He's never been in love with any of you, the mark on my shoulder states differently" I know it's a lie but I'm putting all my cards out if I want to leave here alive. "Hmm fair point"
He stands up, his brows knitting together as he strikes his chin.
"You have a chance to live... For now if you survive tonight's battle you might be trained to be a weapon or sold to be a sex toy either way I don't lose" stating this he turns to one of the boys. "Get her what she needs make sure she's ready for the fight"
"Yes sire"he says following him out the door.
A fight? I swallow the bile in my throat even if I win tonight's fight, how will I kill Jaden Perry.
They come in later with some stuff, one goes behind me using a dagger to cut my rope loose.
"Here wear these" he hands me some clothes, a jean trouser and a black t-shirt.
Holding the clothes in hand I wait for them to give me privacy. They don't budge, staring at me with smirks on their faces.
"Can you guys please leave?" I snarl, irritated.
"Don't worry baby we love to stay" he smirks, taking his tongue piercing in-between his lips.
Having no other choice I stand close to the wall pulling the stretchy jean under my gown glaring at the guys who just laugh like a silent joke had been said.
Turning around I pull off my gown wearing the t-shirt fast.
"Damn baby if you up for sale I'll like that a*s all up on me"
"I'll beat you to it" His companion warns, laughing.
I rolled my eyes twisting my ankles that hurt, the flesh that was binded by the rope had turned red.
"Here you'll need the energy"
Opening a cloth, he hands me a plate where there's bread, rice, grapes, an apple and a metal cup.
They lock the cage as they exit
I take the plate, sitting on the floor, eating everything served, the bread tasted stale but I used the juice in the cup to drain it down my throat.
I learned how to survive on little meals a long time ago but I ate not because I was hungry but because I needed something to do and maybe I'll need it for later to an opponent I know nothing of.
