Searching for Nicole

***Trigger warning: Torture...**

Third Person's P.O.V:

"She's such a b*tch"Guy 1 who was on the tree said while taking a large gulp from his alcoholic beverage.

"But I have to admit though, she's got one hell of a body"Guy 2 said as he looked out the window.

"Yeah, Boss does have good eyesight, "Guy 3 said with his eyes close as rest his head on the headrest of the back passenger seat.

"Yeah, but the b*tch still bit Adrian's leg, she knew that the godforsaken drug was already in her d*mn system yet she still bit him"Guy 4 said angrily still feeling irritated by Nicole.

"Not only that but... you know what never mind, "The guy who had been first beaten by Nicole said clearly feeling embarrassed.

"Just shut it okay! We don't want to wake our dear sleeping beauty up, well at least not yet" Lucas [Adrain's best buddy] who had been quietly driving the whole time said with a sinister look on.

With that said all the guys quieted down, they heard a muffled groan from the back, it seemed like Nicole was waking up earlier than anticipated.

"What the h**l"Guy 2 was the first one to react

"Sssh", "Make her unconscious again and this time let it give us enough time to get to the house" Adrain commanded

"Where am-" before she could finish her sentence or open her eyes properly, she was knocked out for the second time.

"That was fast"guy 3 said as he sighed in relief.

"Yeah, I know right" Another guy replied

"But...what about the five-year-old?"Guy 1 asked looking worried as he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"I mean what are we supposed to do with her.... "he continued still looking worried or maybe he was just bothered.

"Isn't she supposed to be with the others?"

"Since you know why on earth would you ask such a dumb question huh? and do I by any chance look like the boss? ughh"Lucas said frustrated with the whole situation. His sudden outburst caused the rest of the guys to shut up and mind their business. The whole ride to the house was extremely silent leaving everyone with their own thought well except for the unconscious Nicole.

Finally, when they were getting close to the house, the guards at the border could easily see their car coming which is why when they were just 7 minutes away, the guards simply reduced the tight security seeing as it was one of their own.

Getting out of the car, Lucas asked the other guys to follow him as they carried Nicole while he went to look for his boss Kayden, meanwhile, at the top floor of the dark mansion, Kayden watched them silently through the glass window with a creepy smile on.

As they moved Nicole as well as following Lucas who was acting as leader, Lucas got a call from Kayden telling him where to go and where to leave Nicole and to check on Adrain.

****

In the meeting room of the bloodshot pack seated were Alex, Ashley, Stéphano, the Boys' uncle Louis, Louis's beta, Alpha Bruce, and his beta Jamie as they were discussing how they should go about this since the ones kidnapped were one pack luna and the other the alpha's daughter which were very dear to both alphas suddenly Asher bust into the looking mad like he was fuming.

"Ash, what's wrong?"Ashley asked with a worried look on her, but from the look on Asher's face, the rest of them well Ashley as an exemption could clearly understand why.

"What's wrong? you wanna know? well, I'll tell you then, It's because that f**king b**tard is still refusing to talk"Asher yelled at Ashley as he thought about how he's been trying to get the rogue captive to talk and what his mate might be going through right now, As for Ashley who has never been yelled at by any of her brothers was now in shock.

"ASHER JAXON SEBASTIEN STONE, don't you f**king yell at your sister just because you're angry"Louis who was calm before was now fuming mad as he shot Asher a death glare, honestly if looks could kill Asher would've been six feet under the ground right now, but looks can't so he's still breathing.

Soon Asher calmed down already regretting what he said to his little sister but it was too late as Ashley already ran out crying.

"Bruce, I am truly sorry about this let's just do as we've discussed early, you do the investigation on her one at your pack and we'll continue with the one here. thank you."Louis said, honestly Bruce didn't mind as he could already sense the tension in the air, so he stood up thanked them, and told them he'll keep them updated if he found anything new, and with that both he and his beta left, and as for Scarlette, she just looked at everyone unbothered giving of the' You don't see me, You can continue to entertain me' kinda vibe.

Inside the cell, An average-looking man who seem to be in his early twenties was seen to be chained with silver chains on his neck, each hand, and each leg of his. The chains seemed to be digging deep into his skin making him hiss in pain, it wouldn't have this much harm to a wolf but this was a freaking pure silver chain that chained him as he hang his head low.

Suddenly his cell door was open making him look up in an instant, He knew who it was since he could already sense the kind of aura that was coming from them, he knew this was his end but he really didn't mind it was not like he would be of any use to them anyway.

Standing right in front of him were the twins and standing outside the cell was scarlet the little witch who visited Nicole a while back, and Stephano their beta.

"I am going to ask you once more and you better answer or else," Asher said to the chained man with a cold and terrifying expression but that wasn't what was bothering the man, what was actually bothering him was the other guy that looked like asher [Alex] and how he was looking at him as he thought he couldn't be a cruel as the rumors right ? or even this guy. Finally, he got the answer to his question when Alex spoke up.

"No need to go easy on him brother, we're just getting started," Alex said as he picked up a silver dagger with a wooden handle from the table that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Seeing as Alex cracked his fingers, and neck which made a cracking sound, and was now walking towards him, the chained man that wasn't scared earlier suddenly turned pale as he thought how the stone brothers might have written him a death will.

Asher moved away a little so now Alex that Alex could now stand in front of the man.

"Listen, I'm not telling you sh*t cause I owe you nothing, so you can kill me if you like, "The man said through clenched teeth as he moved, the silver chain dug into his skin causing fresh cuts to form on his skin and new blood to come out.

"Death seems to be an easier option for now and like I said to my brother earlier, there's no need to go easy on you so enjoy while you can, "Alex said as he smiled but his eyes were turning deadly cold as each second passed by. Although the man was used to killing people and wasn't afraid of death, right now he was really regretting ever working for Kayden and being part of the rogues that attacked this pack as he saw his whole life flash before him but he didn't want to show it so he kept up his tough man act.

"We're going to ask you one last time and after this no more playing nice"

"I see, so you've decided to take our kindness for granted aye, tsk tsk," Alex said as he drew the edge of the dagger on the man's skin all the way from his shoulder before stopping at his fingertips. seeing as the man was saying anything Asher spoke:

"Now you're going to have to open your damn mouth," Asher said this time, he also had a silver dagger in his hands, as well as both he and his brother, circled the man.

"Do you know what we do to people like you?"Asher asked with a calm look on and his signature smile as he stopped right in front of him.

"I don't know where they took her to, we just got the order to do so" the man's answer was rushed as he was deeply frightened, Asher looked like a demon.

"You're not telling us everything"Alex yelled as whipped the man, tearing his skin as the rough rope of the whip hit it causing it to bleed.

"I am, "the man said with a shaky voice, he knew these Alphas were ruthless to rogues and their enemies so who was he talk accompanied the people that kidnapped their mate? well, he was now dead meat that's right, that's who he was now.

"You're f**king lying" Asher yelled as he stabbed the man's thigh looking beyond furious.

"Where the f**k is he keeping our mate," Alex said as whipped the man once again, breathing heavily it felt like he was about to lose his mind from not finding or getting any clues about where his mate was, he promised himself that when they found Kayden, he'll make sure he suffers and die a slow and painful death for taking his mate away.

"Why don't you answer him you f**king b*stard"This time around it was Asher's turn to yell as he dug his dagger deep into the man's thigh then removed it and stab the man again. He felt like he was going crazy, this darn man knew something but wasn't saying a word except screaming, he missed her like crazy.

"Okay, let me do my job, if he's dead or unconscious I wouldn't be able to see or help you, "Scarlette said, as she walked into the cell that was now filled with the smell of blood and sweat, she looked around then looked at the man, it's not like she pitted him or found her surroundings scary No but because she knew that she's about to bring the man more pain and she can't knock him out when his starts screaming like a hyena and b*stards like him deserve more than this.

Soon she walked forward and place her hands on the man's head not bothering to look at his begging eyes, he wished they had just killed him instead because before he knew what was happening he was screaming in pain and agony.

"I'm seeing something but I don't think he met with the person that gave the order which makes it difficult to find her-" Scarlette said she saw things from the man's head while the man was screaming in pain, soon she stopped and so did the man screams then he became unconscious because of all the pain and torture.

"What do you mean by difficult? Listen here girly, you said you could find her, that's the only reason we allowed a witch here" As Alex spoke..yelled these words to the calm-looking Scarlette and then walked out, Soon her facial expression started changing as well but this didn't go unnoticed to Asher, although he was also greatly upset that doesn't mean he won't listen to what she has to say if they wanted to find their mate so he swallowed back his anger and said to her calmly:

"Don't mind what he said, I'm sure he didn't mean any of it and he's just very umm angry, You can please continue"

"Did anyone of you try reaching out to her through your mind link, well if you haven't you could try and we'll figure something out?"Scarlette said calmly ignoring Alex's existence.

But not everything goes as we want it to be, so as soon as she finish speaking the fuming Alex couldn't help but retort sarcastically"oh almighty witchy girl it's not like we didn't want to but you seem to have forgotten we can't communicate liked that"Honestly even though Alex was Angry and upset that doesn't mean he should be petty.

"I figured that since I could only find out who the last person he was with was and that might lead us to where Nicole is, but I'll still do something to at least get a trace of her "Scarlette said again as she recalled what she had just seen in the man's head.

**In An Empty Small Spaced Room In Kayden's dark mansion A Conversation Was Already Ongoing**

"You know, you're a pathetic sc*mbag right?, Nope I think more of a psychopath, what does this little girl have to do with you ..no what do we have to do with you actually or do you just send out a bunch of perverts to kidnap people's mate?" Nicole said agitated as she looked at the strange man.

"I mean I don't even know you," she said again on the verge of crying, "I don't even want to be here"

"Oh no, don't cry princess," Kayden said looking at her with a weird look almost looking gentle but at the same time possessive.

"Don't call me that and don't you f**king touch me" Nicole said as tears were already leaking from her eyes

"Don't you dare," She yelled as she moved back hitting the concrete wall behind her making her freeze, The bold, confident, fierce-looking girl was nowhere to be found right this instant and was replaced with this scared, soft-looking girl?

Hearing her say this, a smile instantly bloomed on Kayden's face as he silently looked at the frightened teenage girl in front of him. If there was one thing that was on Nicoles's mind right now as she stared at Kayden, That would be 'PSYCHOPATH'.

"Of cause darling, I wouldn't dare, "He said in a dragging tone that, made it sound lazy yet mocking.

"I see they haven't even touched you yet, but even if they did...I could always fix that"

"Don't even think about it, Sicko" Nicole yelled, she looked scared and that was his original plan, Scare her, make her vulnerable but still her voice was filled with a newfound hatred

"Don't even come close to me, just....just stay where you're otherwise I might be contacted with your craziness"Nicole yelled as she look at the man who suddenly came from nowhere and got her kidnapped.

Soon series of footsteps could be heard from outside the metallic door of the small room, soon it stopped right outside of it. Those were the exact words the person outside heard feeling that this girl was truly a silly and naive teenager.

He paused then called out "Boss" Kayden who was making advancements towards

"Come in"Kayden's calm yet terrifying voice filled the small room startling Nicole and the already scared little girl by the corner. Following the instruction, the owner of the voice that sounded from outside stepped in, Kayden moved to a dark corner on the other side of the room and then motioned for the person to do the same too.

"Boss, Two of the rogues that attacked both packs were caught, we've been informed that the alphas are trying to get information out of them and The Bloodshot pack has a witch alongside them"the man that came said while looking at his shoes

"Interesting..."Kayden said as he gave a quick glance at Nicole causing the latter to shiver.

"Boss, what should we do?" the man asked in the mood to cause more trouble.

"We wait and watch, "Kayden said with a provocative smile, causing the man who was annoyed by the answer he received to feel a bone-crushing chill down his spine.

"Get someone to get them food, you know what to give the older girl, leave the younger one, for now, don't add anything. you know what to do if they don't eat, right?"Those were Kayden's instructions as left the room without casting a single glance at any of them, it was then Nicole and Lilla breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she has sensitive hearing that doesn't mean luck was on her side, she couldn't even hear one word apart from the last sentence which caused her to hold back her breathe.

"Don't worry sweetie we'll get out of here okay?" Nicole said to the sobbing Lilla who had her knees to her chest.

"But what if daddy doesn't come for us, then will that big scary man really do what he said?"Lilla asked looking up at Nicole who now held her close.

"No, Don't say that, even if your dad doesn't come and my ma-boyfriend, yeah my boyfriends arrive late, will leave here alright," Nicole said trying to comfort the scared little girl.

Later that day after baby talked and calmed Lilla down which led to the current state they are in right now with Lilla asleep, the door to the room opened only showing a black combat boot, quickly Nicole became alert and gently hid Lilla behind her.

The body behind the combat boots soon came into view with two plates of food in hand, one was laced with a small amount of wolfbane and the other didn't have anything added to it, it was clear who had each food.

He walked towards the girls with a scary look on his face and a dominating aura oozing off him which would make anyone pee their pants as he stood just a few steps away from them, he looked at Nicole who was the only one awake, and said just a word.

"Eat," he said with a cold voice that could make anyone shiver, he pushed the food to her with his boot-covered feet.

Seeing as she was not moving from where she was and only said the words that he now found annoying.

He said again this time more terrifying than before, I mean a normal girl would be scared to her witts but I'm not sure about Nicole"Eat"

"I said I'm not having it" she yelled as she struggled from the grasp of this bluff-looking man as he kept on pushing the plate closer.

" Well not that I care, If you just kept quiet and act like the good little girl you are we wouldn't be facing this trouble, Now EAT the f**king food," After saying that, seeing as she wasn't having any of it and his patient was running low he quickly injected her with wolfbane that's the same amount as what he put in her food.

Lilla who was now wide awake, quietly ate her food by the corner while salty tears fell from her eyes but she wasn't even making a single sound, as he glanced at her before leaving making her shiver.

**The wolfbane that was given to Nicole was to weaken her and her wolf since they couldn't just kill her wolf because her wolf is also responsible for her powers apart from herself.
