JAXON’S PO.V

“Are you

you sure?” I asked and Aiden nodded. “What is this place even? I didn’t know it existed. Does it even have cell service? Do they even know what a fucking television is?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“It is a small town on neutral ground. A lot of rogues and humans live there. The humans aren’t aware of supernatural presence and the rogues do everything in their power to ensure that they keep it that way. One of my spies say that they saw someone like her there.”

Just the mention of her had something knotting in my chest. It had been four years and at first, I allowed the anger to consume me. I couldn’t think, sleep or eat unless it was with the thoughts of hurting her for leaving me but as the anger slowly ebbed away, I came to realize that there was something else lurking beneath the waters, something soft and fragile. Despite my attempts to treat Freya like trash, she was the only person who was genuine to me.

She may have looked at me like a monster but she had never once lied to me. She was strongin her own way and she had bested me once. I didn’t hate her- I envied her. The moment I realized that was the moment I decided that I was going to get her back to me. I had decided that I wasn’t going to stop until I had her safely by my side and I was going to right every wrong that I had made. It had taken me four years but this was the first sighting that had come to my table and I knew that Aiden had the best guards so he couldn’t have been lying.

“We leave now,” I ordered and his eyes widened. He watched me in shock as I gathered my essentials.

“Don’t you think we should get a plan first?” he asked. “Maybe we should figure out the manner of approach, you can’t just go back there and demands that she comes with you.”

“Why not?”

I

“Because you treated her like shit when she was here,” he deadpanned and I felt something akin to guilt wrap its way around my throat. “Listen, we have to take this slowly and carefully. If she knows that we are coming then

she will run.”

“You better make sure that she doesn’t know then,” I shrugged and slapped him on the shoulder. “I am leaving

now. You can either come with me or sit here, I don’t care.”

I walked out of the room without a second thought and who would have guessed it- he followed me.

We arrived in the small town by nightfall and my l*ps curled in distaste as the car drove through the old roads. It

was like something out of my early childhood years. It looked so poorly developed that I was half convinced that they were stuck in a century ago. Even their outfits were crazy and unbelievable.

“If she isn’t here then you are going to regret this,” I muttered to Aiden who was driving and he shot me a wink in response. I rolled my eyes at his playfulness and the fact that he thought I was joking.

I wouldn’t actually kill him because I had need of him but I was definitely not going to make life easy for him. He drove us to a street that looked like it should have a written up sign that warned people against crimes. It was shabby and broken down.

“Are you sure that we are going the right way?” I asked and Aiden just flashed his teeth at me.

“We are meeting my spy, relax,” he mused as he pulled up in front of one of the better looking houses.

A young woman was standing there and as soon as we stopped, she got into the backseat of the car. She had hair cropped close to herchin and dark eyes. She looked like the kind of person who would pick a fight for no reason and it wasn’t a surprise that Aiden had chosen her. He always had a knack for unpredictability and violence.

“I saw her at a convenience store today,” the girl began without waiting for a prompt. “She was holding up the line and I didn’t recognize her at first but when she was leaving I saw her face. She was alorie and she went into that building. I have been watching her for a while.”

“Has she come out?” I asked and the woman shook her head.

“I asked around and people say she is a loner. She leaves before they wake and is back after the streetlights are out. Not a lot of them even know her name. She is very hard to spot. Since she went in, I haven’t seen or heard a sound from her room.”

“You can leave now, thank you,” I said and she bowed before getting out of the car. I turned to see Aiden already looking at me.

“What is the plan?” he asked. “Do we just barge in there and grab her?”

I shook my head. If we did that, she was bound to put up a fight. I didn’t want to go in until I knew for sure what I was walking into. The last time she got away from me, she had a head start but this time, I was determined to watch out for her and make sure that she never went out of my line of sight.

“Keep an eye on her,” I told Aiden and he looked shocked that I hadn’t chosen to do it myself. “Let me know when she wakes, moves, breathes and eats. I don’t want you to lose her for a second and do not let her see you.”

“It is done. What will you be doing until then?”

I smirked. “I’ll be preparing for her arrival at the pack.”

I was bringing her home whether she liked it or not.
