“So, she is being held by her pack?”
“I’m not sure. I can just see glimmers, like last night. It was the same place. They were torturing her, waterboarding her. That’s why I woke up gasping,” he says, rubbing his face.
“You have to tell your mother, Eziah,”
“I can’t. She will make them stop. I need to know she is alright,”
“Your mother will help. Surely there can be a way to find her. Your mother is the moon goddess,”
“And she can’t interfere, you know that. If she does, it could end worse than it already is. They could k**l her,”
“Tell your mother,” I tell him, gripping his arms. He goes to argue when I shake him.
“If they are torturing her and what you are seeing and feeling is what she is now enduring, d***h would be a blessing. Tell her, at least let her try to help. Because by doing nothing, you are torturing yourself and her, let the future change. Any fate would be better than the one she is stuck in,” I told him, and he seemed to think.
“But what if I lose her?”
“Then you hunt down the b******s that touched her. No one should be forced to live like that. If what you are seeing is real, you need to stop it even if it ends there,” I tell him. He sighed but nodded.
“Fine, I will tell her,” he says before looking at me.
“Good, come on then, let’s find this sister of mine, then we can focus on finding your mate.”
“You want to help?”
“We may not see eye to eye, but we are still family. Family helps each other,” I tell him.
“You seemed pretty pissed off about me getting involved with Mara and Kyan. Even though she is my family.”
“Yes, because you all treat her differently.”
“I don’t,”
“You do, Eziah. None of you realized she was hurting, but then Kyan f***s up once and suddenly, you all want to be there for her? When none of you were before that. Then dared to upset her more when she voiced how she felt, and don’t think I forgot what you said to her at the house.”
“That wasn’t my intention. I love my sister. Kyan is no good for her, and I didn’t mean what I said; I was just angry she chose his side. Kyan is bad news, I mean it. I have seen it.”
“Really, you see her relationship with Kyan, but couldn’t see how your own friends treated her?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Were you all that blind?”
“Mara never told us. We didn’t know. You do not know how hard she is to read. Not even mum can get a grasp on her or me. We have both tried, but when we tried to look, all we got was a blank slate.”
“She shouldn’t have had to. It was obvious. Did you know she was cutting herself for years?” Eziah looked away.
“I heard. We all just thought she was depressed because of the darkness. She kept it from all of us, just like Kyan has been hiding everything from you. You think he is good for, but he is the d***h of her.”
“Hiding what, Kaif?”
“You know he is Lycan?”
“Of course, I know. How do you know?”
“I saw it, the day of the Alpha challenge. That’s why I escaped mum. He will k**l her, Jonah,”
“He won’t. Kyan is aware of what Kaif is capable of,”
“So he told you he k****d her, I saw it. She was in his arms. It looked like he strangled her to d***h,” I stopped at his words. They sounded similar to what Kyan described to me once.
“You had the same vision as Kyan?”
“What?”
“As Kyan, he had the same vision,” I told him.
“You knew and left her with him?” he said outraged.
“He is her mate, Eziah. Her mate, she already marked him. Kaif won’t hurt her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I think you have the visions wrong. I have told Kyan the same thing. They don’t add up.”
“What do you mean?”
“Kyan has had two visions of how Kaif supposedly k****d her. You can’t k**l someone twice, so you are both missing something,” I scowled at him. I trudged further through the thick brush. Eziah was talking behind me when we finally reached the tiny clearing. I could see Casen ahead and call out to him.
“Oi, wait up” My words cut off, and I stopped in my tracks when I noticed we weren’t alone in the clearing. Men stood around us, and Eziah came up behind me talking some c**p, and my hand smacked into his chest, making him stop. He looked up and noticed my stare as I turned to find we had walked into some sort of ambush. Men were holding spears aimed at Casen and now us.
“Woah. What the f**k,” Eziah said, glancing around.
“Hey, those are my b****y pants,” Eziah snapped, pointing at one of them, and the man turned his spear to Eziah, who put his hands up.
“Geez, fine. You like them that much. Keep them then,” he said.
“WE¡COME¡IN¡PEACE¡WE” I motioned to Casen, Eziah, and I. “MEAN YOU NO HARM,”
“They speak English, you k**b,”
“Oh, okay then, I was about to bust out the charades or an interpretive dance. Saves me making a fool of myself then.” I shrugged before rubbing my hands together. I peered around at them, all nearly naked, but they didn’t smell like wolves. However, there was something off about them.
“Well, in that case, have you seen a girl, nose piercings, heavy eye makeup? Rolls her eyes constantly about yay high.” I hold my hand up to my shoulder to show how short she is.
“Has a bad attitude and rainbow-colored hair. Parents named her after a flower, but she is more like algae. You know you want to get rid of it, but keep it around to feed the fish. Or maybe she is more like an obnoxious weed. Major pain in the a*s, but a pain I kind of want back, so perhaps you have seen her around?” I joke. None of them laugh, just stare at me.
Eziah leans toward me, and they raise their spears and step closer.
“Looks like we are doing this the hard way then,” Eziah mutters to me.
