Tristan's POV
Two going on three torturous nights...two miserable days, since I've last heard Lise's voice and seen her beautiful face. Her last words to me were 'I love you Tristan.' I can't believe I allowed any of this to happen. I should've remained at her side in the club.
Not wanting to be an overbearing mate, I decided it was safe to allow her to have fun. I figured since there were so many of us that it was ok for her to be on the dance floor with Anya. What was I thinking?
'You should get some sleep.' Luke's voice filled my head as he stood guard beside me. My best friend staring at me with concern. 'I'll sleep once I know she's safe in my arms again.' I answered with a grumble. 'Not a minute sooner.' Luke knows how stubborn I can be, so he didn't argue back. Instead he turned his attention forwards again.
I rubbed at my bloodshot eyes tiredly, staring down at the territory before me. I haven't slept the entire time she's been gone. We were staking out Marco's pack house from a distance. Watching, waiting for any sign that he's here with Lise. This time around we didn't have someone on the inside to tell us what was going on.
The mountains that overlooked Marco's house belonged to a neighboring pack. Thankfully, Alpha Sanchez allowed us onto his lands after we explained the situation. He even offered a helping hand, Lise's father brought the kidnapping to the werewolf council. They were giving us a week to get her back, allowing us to take matters into our own hands before it was time for them to intervene.
If it were up to me, I would've attacked and killed each and every one of his pack members two days ago. Hell, I wanted to do it the night Lise was taken, but Rico talked me out of it. His exact words were I've lost one sister already due to our irrational actions, I'm not about to lose another. We need to plan accordingly this time.
Arriving at the accident scene that night we found a bloodied unconscious Alonso in the car and no Lise. He had a few broken bones and of course some cuts and bruises, but after waking up we made him shift and he was good as new after a few hours.
Alonso's been blaming himself for Lise's kidnapping, saying he should have been more cautious and aware of his surroundings. We keep telling him it's not his fault, I seem to think we all have a hand in this by not keeping a more watchful eye over her so not just one person is to blame here.
There were traces of her blood on the ground, which caused me to shift on the spot. The thought of my mate being injured had me thirsty for blood...the blood of those responsible for causing her harm. I was able to track her scent as far as five miles away in the direction of Marco's territory before all remnants of Lise disappeared into thin air.
Which leads us up to the present time, we planned on waiting until we spotted some sort of a sign allowing us to know that we were on the right track before attacking. All forms of communication were lost with Lise, Rico explaining that they must be injecting her with high doses of black ice.
To be honest with you I didn't have the faintest clue something like black ice even existed. Rico also told me that only wolves of royal blood had access to obtain something that dangerous. As I lay down on my belly watching what I hoped to be Marco's room, I caught a glimpse of movement .
My eyes lit up in pure excitement as I realized what I was staring at. Lise was moving cautiously, almost like she didn't have control over her own body as she made her way slowly past the window. No sooner did she pass the window, Marco appeared and carried her back in the direction from which she came.
Rico and Alonso's ears perked up the same exact moment I jumped to stand on all fours. She's in there and thank god she's safe. Now it's time to regroup and plan how we're going to get her out of there in one piece. A snarl of fury escaped from deep within my chest, this time around no one will be able to stop me from killing him. He's gone too far this time messing with my mate. I gave him fair warning, now it's time I acted on my threat of becoming Alpha of his mangy mutts.
