Chapter 4: Where is Haisley?

(Haisley's POV)

My legs were getting tired, and I had to rest as well.

But, I managed to reach the forest, before I fell asleep under a tree.

I was soon awoken by the growling sounds of wolves around me.

"Who are you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

They surrounded me, in their wolf forms, their size twice the size of mine.

They didn't even say a word to me.

The biggest one, who I assumed to be their leader, shifted to his human form.

He came closer to me, placing his palm on my face.

"She is not a threat" he announced to the rest of his pack members, before they all assumed their human form. They nodded their heads, before lifting me up from the floor.

They dragged me on the floor like a criminal, as I followed them somewhere.

My head was spinning as I silently complied.

When we got out of the forest, one of them lifted me up and tossed me into a black car. I sat in the middle of two people, unable to scream for help.

I swallowed hard, as tears streamed down my face. What offense could I have committed to deserve this?

I just escaped the clutches of a monster, only for me to land in the hand of another.

The car finally came to a halt, as I looked at the stone carved sign just by the side of the house "Gemstone Packhouse".

They dragged me out of the car, as they walked me in.

I had my head lowered. I felt like a prisoner.

"Where did you find her?" I heard a feminine voice echo, before I eventually raised my head to see the person talking.

My gaze fell on the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She looked like she was in her twenties, and she had the striking features of a goddess.

Her hair was silver, and her eyes sparkled like green emeralds.

"She was in the forest. She looks very weak", one of the warriors threw me at her feet.

"Please take her somewhere and get her some food. She looks very tired" she walked over to me, as her soft hand caressed my face.

“What's your name, little birdy?”

“Haisley” My lips quivered.

She asked, her gaze scrutinizing.

“I think I like you,” she whispered.

“You'll be my personal maid from now on” she smiled, before she signaled for her warriors to send me away.

I was so terrified for no reason.

Because, apart from my parents, this woman has to be the only good thing that has happened to me. It was rare to hear of a female Alpha, but I wish there could be more people like her. I have spent over a month with the Gemstone pack, and never have I felt out of place.

But, I fear she might treat me differently if she eventually comes to know about my pregnancy.

(Kayden's POV)

“What do you mean by she is gone?” I was furious.

“She ran away” Yvette's cold response, made me wish she was not a woman.

The way I would have her smashing against a wall right now.

“And what did you do about it? Have you gone in search of her?” I asked, still trying to be calm.

“Nothing, Kayden. She was just your play thing, why are you so bothered about her?” Yvette dared to speak back at me.

My eyes darkened, as I felt anger surge through my veins. I grabbed her by the hand and forced her to look at me.

“She is not a play thing, Yvette. And I know you have a hand in her disappearance…” I was still talking, before she cut in.

“I did nothing”.

“I don't care, Yvette. She disappeared under your care. If anyone else was in your shoes, then I would have had their head for supper. But, because it's you, I will let it go” I felt the muscles in my body relax, as my hand slipped away from her.

“You should, because I am your mate. She is nobody to you”. She was too confident.

“Yvette, I'd like you to go in there and pack your things. I never want to see your face again. The marriage is off”, I ordered.

“But…” she protested.

I couldn't hold it back anymore, and I smacked her across the face.

"You raised your hand at me because of a pet you bought?" She was in shock.

“And I'll do it again to shut you up. No one dares to question me. I am leaving now, but by the time I return, and you are still here, you'll get more than a slap” Tears ran down her cheeks, but I couldn't care less.

“Boris!!” I yelled.

“Yes Alpha”

“Prepare the car, we are going in search of Haisley and have all the borders closed. No one leaves or comes into the territory until I find her”. I gave out my orders.

“Yes, Alpha”, he took a bow before he disappeared.

Where on earth do I find her?
