Chapter 14
Layla’s p.o.v
Locked and tied.
Locked in a fucking cell and tied to a fucking chair.
I am fucking sure that, Asher said to put me in the safe house. But Holden said that he needs to get back quickly so he put me and Hailey in his house, locking all the doors and windows.
Hailey.
She wanted to help me. But I told her not too. Hailey’s a human, and she’s too fragile for werewolves, especially rouges. They don’t think twice on who they hurt.
So I locked her up in the bathroom. She has two kids to look after, new born kids, I can’t risk her life. Plus she’s Vincent’s wife. And I know Vincent.
For those two years that she left, he was devastated. Shocked,that she actually went. Once he was going to send me to get her, but then he said no. She said not to follow her, so he won’t.
And those two years? Were the hardest for all of us. Especially for Vincent. I tried to talk to him. And he said that, he’s dying inside. Every day he’s dying. But she came back. And I could it on his face, how happy he was, how proud he was, that she came back.
And I can’t let Vincent go through all of that again. He’s my best friend. He’s helped me so many times. So if I can protect Hailey, it’s my job to do it then.
I don’t understand why I am here, though. It’s only been a few weeks, in Asher’s pack. Maybe they think that I’m still Asher’s wife. That he’ll save me.
But I see the way he looks at me. He hates me. I broke my promise. He’s upset.
But I know Holden will save me. I know he will. Holden is my superhero. He’ll get me out of this place quickly.
“Hello, hello, anyone in there?” Someone taps my temple. I look up at her. She’s smirking at me.
“Layla, is it?” I nod slowly.
“Who are you, and why am I here?” I ask
“You are here, because you have an old friend that wants to meet you.” He smiles standing up straight.
“An old friend?” All my old friends, from school were in Royal Crystal Pack. None of them were rouges.
“What?” I ask confused
“You won’t see him yet. Maybe in a couple of days”
“I won’t stay that long. Holden will come and get me?” I say trying to pull my arms around of the rope. But it burns.
The olden times, silver ropes. How old are these people?
“You’re all vampires.“I say looking at her. She’s pale with black hair. It’s understandable. Why didn’t I think of it first?
“Yes we are. And so is your friend” she crosses her arms.
She’s talking in puzzles. My friend, a vampire?
“Don’t think so hard about it. We’ll take good care of you. Your friend, wants you to be happy.” What the fuck!
“May I have this friends name?” I ask and she smirks
“If I gave you the name, you’ll know who it is” she walks out of the cell.
“I’ll send someone in, to get you a pair of clothes, and some food. I hear that you like chocolate” she smirks, walking out.
They know me. They know me fucking well. Either they have been stalking me like fuck, or someone’s a traitor in Asher’s pack.
Asher.
I wonder what he’s doing now.
I wonder what Holden is doing.
Is he worried about me? Is he going crazy?
Grandpa Alec went crazy when Emily was kidnapped. Tyler went crazy when Mia was kidnapped. Vincent went crazy when Hailey was kidnapped. Why is that all the girls are kidnapped? Do they think girls are weak, because fuck you. Girls are so much stronger than men.
Men are weak when it comes to their mates. They want them to smile, and be happy. And they’ll do anything for that to happen.
Will Holden be going crazy for me? I know Holden. He cares about me a lot. Even if he doesn’t say it out loud, I can see it. I can see it in his eyes, and when he smiles at me, I know all he sees is me.
“Wear this, daydreamer” the girl walks back in hands me a bra and panties.
“I already am wearing a pair” I smirk
“No,you wear this. Only this” No fucking way.
“I’ll freeze”
“You’re a wolf” she chucks it at me.
“Well you have to untie me, so I can wear it right?” I look up at her.
“I will. But if you try anything- I have my lazer” she pulls out a gun.
Fuck.
Theses guys are good.
“Why are you doing this?” I ask
“We do this always. And we always come back stronger. Ask Asher. He knows us well”
Is Asher in on this?
“Asher?” I ask and she nods, untying me.
“Yeah. Us rouges and Asher, go a long way back. So back, when his parents were alive” she smirks and stands back, after she’s untied me.
“His parents? So not that long ago?” I smirk removing the ropes off me.
“I mean his real parents, Layla. Not Paul and Claire” she smirks and walks out of the cell, closing it behind her.
His real parents? I thought they were his real parents..
I don’t know Asher..
I turn to look at her, but she’s gone.
I kick the piece of clothes to the corner, not wanting to look at them.
Lilly? She doesn’t answer.
I know what they’ve done. They made Lilly go to sleep. Injected wolfbane into me.
“Your food” the woman comes back, sliding a plate, of pizza and donuts, under the cell door. Chocolate donuts.
“What kind of kidnapping is this?” I muttered smiling at the donuts.
“Don’t worry. They’re absolutely free of everything. No wolfsbane or anything inside it. And I advise you to get dressed in those.” She points to the clothes in the corner
“I’m not wearing that!” I growl at her.
“You have to. If you don’t, I’ll make you unconscious and make you wear it. You won’t even realise” she smirks
“I dare you” I narrow my eyes at her.
She nods, pulling the door open, and pulls her gun forward towards me.
“Bye bye” she waves pushing the trigger, and a string comes towards me. As soon as it touches my arm, I fall to the floor, shaking.
Oh fuck.
I was losing it. Losing my mind.
“Bye” I heard her voice before I blanked out.
