* My head was pounding when I came to. I opened my eyes and I had a view of the kitchen, side ways. There was still a little bit of a mess on the counter when I realized something was off. I sat up quickly and my head swam. * What the fuck happened? * Just then there was a light snore and I looked over to see Vincent with his head laying on his arm, he too was on the table. * Vincent! * There was no response. I shook his arm and hollered louder this time * Vincent! * He snorted and his head snapped up, he groaned his hand going to his head. * You gotta wake up man, something's wrong and I think the girls are gone. * My body was tired and my mind was groggy at best, I couldn't quite comprehend what had happened. I yelled for our mates. * Meg! Chloe! * There was no answer. Vincent let out a big breath as he set forward in his chair, one hand holding up his hand. * "They're not going to answer you dude. Don't you see what just happened here?" * I closed my eyes and thought back to our dinner, how the girls were nervous and a little on edge. I growled. Vincent smirked knowing I had gotten it now. * They fucking drugged us. * The blood in my veins began to pump rapidly and it didn't take long for my system to beat the drug. My mate was in some serious fucking trouble. *

"Vincent!" I didn't want to wake as Ian's voice filled my mind and I instantly got a headache. I tried to open my eyes but my lids felt like they were glued shut. I felt Ian shake my arm as he yelled my name louder. "Vincent!" Snapping my head up as I groaned with the sudden movement. "You gotta wake up man, something's wrong and I think the girls are gone. Meg! Chloe! Fuck, I wish he'd stop telling. They're not going to answer you dude. My head swam as I continued. Don't you see what just happened here? I opened my eyes and watched Ian. He finally looked at me then growled his understanding and I smirked. "They fucking drugged us." Nodding I continued to work the drug out of my system. Once my head was clear, I looked around the room then let my gaze land on the two glasses on the table. It was in the fucking drinks. Ian nodded and I could see he was just as pissed as I was. "Where do you think they went?" I was asking myself the same question. I don't know but what I do know is that my mate isn't going to like it when I find her. Ian Chuckled low. "They better run long and far." I stood slowly, grateful the dizziness had dissipated. Walking to the door I opened it and looked out. Do you have a tracking system on your truck? He grinned at me. "Yes, it does." Grinning back I headed for my office. Good! Let's hunt!
ReplyDelete* I followed Vincent into his office, my mind clear again, he switched his computer on and motioned for me to sit in the chair. I waited for it to boot up. * Reckless behavior. I can't believe they did this. Why can't they see we just want to keep them safe? * Vincent shook his head. * "I don't know. I wanted Chloe to get healed up. We don't even know if the vampire blood is out of her system yet, so she can shift to finish the healing process." * The computer was finally ready and I punched in the URL for the site that tracks vehicles. Signing in, a map of McGregor popped up. The map showed every street in McGregor and once you found the person you were tracking it would get you a address and description of the place. Home, business, park, etc. * I'm so glad I signed up for this service, never did I think I would have to use it though. * Vincent smirked. A red dot popped onto the map. * Well they weren't trying to hide from us. * Vincent looked up. * "You got them?" * I nodded. * Yep, they're at the bar.
ReplyDeleteYou got them? Ian nodded. “Yep, they’re at the bar.” I shook my head. Leave it to them to go to the very place we wanted to take them. I sure as hell hope they appreciate all the time and hard work we put in. Ian stood and I just left the computer on as we headed out of the office. As we made our way to the front door something flashed through my mind and I stopped walking. I turned when he didn’t hear me following him. Turning he raised a brow at me. “What’s wrong, man? We’ve got to go get our females. I looked over at him and shook my head. I don’t know if I should go. I mean, what if Chloe’s changed her mind about wanting to be with me? I’ve only been trying to keep her safe so she can heal. But what if she wants to end our mating? Ian just stared at me. “Come on man. She loves you.” I looked at him. Loves me. She fucking drugged me and left. Your mate drugged you. They didn’t even know what that shit would do to us. Ian continued to look at me. “I get it! I really do, but Chloe loves you.” I don’t know. I think after this is over I’m going to step back. It’s going to kill me but I don’t think I’ll be able to trust her again. Ian nodded thinking. “I know how you feel. It’s going to be a long while before I’m going to be able to trust Meg. And I’m not going to be able to eat or drink anything she puts in front of me. Just make sure leaving is what you really want to do because it’s really going to hurt Chloe.” I wasn’t so sure about that, but I didn’t voice it. Instead I headed for the door then down to my car and we made our way down to the bar in silence.
ReplyDelete* I thought about what Vincent said back at the house and for a second I had doubts too about Meg's feelings for me. I know that I had been a little overbearing with keeping her safe, but fuck I almost lost her. I sighed. Drugging me though, she went too far. I was seething with anger by the time we pulled into the parking lot of the bar. It was full of vehicles. We parked and didn't waste any time getting out of the car. Heading towards the front of the bar I was shocked when we came up on Beck Hadrian. * Beck? * He turned towards us, he looked exhausted. * "Hey guys." * We shook hands. * "We need to talk to you." * Vincent all but growled, before we were interrupted by squealing tires. * "Beck. I need to talk to you."
