Rescuing His Captive Mate: Saving The Future Luna

~~

Artem

~~

I was storming out of the beach house and towards my car before the call had even ended. My sister was in trouble. My mate had been kidnapped. And that disgusting son of a bitch was going to pay, severely.

I needed to find Chay, to get her out of the Jeep and somewhere safe. I needed to get the others here to help me murder that whole family. I just know they took her back to that cesspit of theirs.

The truck was already speeding toward the city border and the road beyond. I had absolutely no memory of even getting in the driver's seat. My rage was running so high that I was already losing time. That didn't matter though, I still knew what I needed to do, and where I needed to go.

My phone was in my hand and I heard the ringing in my ear. I didn't know who I was calling yet, not until they answered the call.

"Hi Artem, what can I do for you?" It was Bailey, Chay's mate. Of course, it would make sense for me to call him. I was surprised that Chay hadn't called him herself, but she must have been more hurt than I had thought.

"Bailey, you need to get to the road outside of town, now." I yelled into the phone that I was pressing to the side of my head. 

"What's wrong?" His voice turned instantly serious. "Did something happen to Star?" He hadn't even thought that something could happen to Chay, none of us ever thought that this was a possibility. Why the hell had I been so complacent.

"Star is gone, they took her. And Chay is hurt."

I heard a loud thud on the other end of the line followed by a long silence. My only guess was that Bailey had dropped the phone with the shock of what he had heard.

'"BAILEY!" I yelled into the phone, trying to get his attention. "BAILEY!"

I could hear footsteps on the other end of the line and someone else's voice came from somewhere in the background.

"Bailey, what's wrong?" Reed was asking him. "Why did you drop your phone?"

"They took Star, and Chay….Chay is….Chay is hurt." It seemed like Bailey was having a hard time processing what he had heard.

"WHAT?!" Reed's voice seemed to be filled with the same shock that I imagined Bailey was feeling. "Where are they? We need to go."

"BAILEY!" I yelled his name again and this time someone finally picked up the phone. 

"I'm here." Bailey answered at last. "I'm here." He was breathing hard, like the shock of all this was already taking an emotional toll on him. "We're coming. We are on our way. I swear we will be there soon."

"I am almost there, tell the others and have them come with you. I will see to Chay and when you all get there I will send you home to take care of her."

"No!" Bailey yelled. "I am guessing that Chay was well enough to call you, that means that she is not that badly injured. I will ask Ella to look after her, and I will ask Reed to have Sydney come to help her as well." Ella was already at the bakery with my cousins as it was, she had decided to work there with them recently so the two of them could come home together. That could definitely work.

"Alright, that will be fine. But have it happen now."

"Yes Sir, don't worry." Bailey and Reed had taken to treating me like a proper Alpha, which was both nice and felt weird, but I didn't have time to think about that right now.

"I'll see you all there, hurry." I disconnected the call then and sped up even more. I could trust Bailey to pass along the information.

They were closer to town than I had been expecting. When I saw the scene of the accident approaching I couldn't help but marvel at how close to home they were when it happened. Those fucking assholes had to have been watching and waiting and had seen Chay when she was coming back. They probably expected me to be the one coming back with Star, but they weren't going to miss their chance at all.

My truck screeched to a halt on the side of the road, more off the road really since it was at such a drastic angle when I leapt from the cab and started running to find my sister.

I couldn't help but survey the damage to the Jeep and the ground as I raced to find Chay.

There were dark, very prominently visible tire tracks on the road where the Jeep had been pushed so forcefully to the side. It looks like that as soon as the tires hit the dirt and there was actually something to catch the side of them was when they started to roll. Glass littered the grass from the windows from all sides of the vehicle. I could see big divots in the grass and dirt where the Jeep had carved out large chunks of earth each time that it slammed down. Digging deep into the hard packed ground.

I could smell blood. Blood that was filled with Star's scent as well as Chay's. They had both been hurt, very hurt. I could also smell that scummy ass fucking family. Their nasty trashy smell that was almost exactly like a mix of everything bad that has ever existed.

How fucking evil did someone have to be to smell like that? And how was it that almost the entire family smelled like that? Was it just a telltale sign that they were the scum of the fucking earth?

I guess that evil really does have a defining smell. At least it does to good people.

I could see that the Jeep had landed on its tires when it had stopped rolling. What was frightening was that there were large claw marks on the side and on the top. Also, the roof of the Jeep had been ripped open and looked just like someone had used a knife to open a can of beans in some stupid cheesy B rated western movie.
