Chapter 11


    The Long Night


    (Anna)


    With Fraction gone and Winter sleeping I toss and turn, I can’t seem to turn my mind off. I decide to go


    and see if anyone else is awake, maybe get a ss of warm milk. I’ve never had it but Momma Beth


    swears by it. I get out of bed and leave my room, I’m halfway down the hall when I see James running


    towards Fraction’s office. Odd why he is running around in the middle of the night, surely Fraction went

    back to bed. I know I shouldn’t but I follow him. James is in such a rush he doesn’t realise he had left


    the office door open a little, I shamelessly listen in.


    “Yes, we found some bodies. Four females, all in shallow graves around the South wnd. They are


    among the first taken when this all started” Says someone I vaguely know the voice of, I can’t put a


    name to the voice. “I’ve just been told one of the females taken is. sixteen years old.”


    gone


    “Wait, so he took four females and got rid of four to make room? This wolf isn’t shopping, he’s building


    a ha*em.” More she-solves have missing? This is horrible. I continue to listen with my hand over my


    mouth. “Calm down Zeus,” Zeus is James’ wolf, I guess he’s mad about the she-wolves. “Darryl, can


    we do anything to help?” Darryl? I think that’s an Alpha to one of the neighboring Packs.


    “Not as of now I need to call the Alphas of these females and tell them and then I suggest a gathering.”


    “Sounds good, keep me updated.” I hear the phone being set back on the base. This isn’t good, if more


    females have gone missing this is getting worse and the wolf responsible is getting braver. Killing an


    Alpha and Luna is a death offence on its own, never mind the

    kidnapping and murders. This wolf is going to be torn apart and there will be a line of wolves wanting to


    do the job.


    “What a cluster f**k.” Fraction sounds exhausted


    “You’re telling me, what is this wolf up to?!”


    “Anna got her wolf. She’s called Winter and she’s an Omega. Her safety has never been more


    important. We know at least one of the wolves taken is Omega, maybe more.” I’m shocked at the


    change of conversation, even from the other side of the door I can hear the pride in his voice.


    “Little wolf is Omega?” I hear Fraction growl, “Sorry Alpha, wow an Omega. Our next…”


    “Anna, what are you doing?” I nearly jumped out of my skin. I turn around and see Patrick at the end of


    the hall..


    “Oh my g*d you nearly killed me.” I halfugh, half shout at Patrick once I walk closer to him. “I couldn’t


    sleep and I was going to see if Fraction wanted some hot milk before I made my own” I lie, I’m actually


    impressed with how easily I lied.


    Patrick strokes the stubble on his chin and gazes down at me, at almost six foot it’s not hard to gaze


    down on a 5 foot 4 inches wolf. “I could go for some milk” Patrick leads us into the kitchen. “And Anna,


    stop with Patrick, call me Rick like everyone else.”


    “I can’t do that, Rick reminds me of an old man, you will always be Patrick to me or what about Pat?” I


    take a seat at the breakfast bar.


    Patrick looks at me in horror. “Alright Patrick it is.” He makes himself busy microwaving some milk,


    once he sits a steaming mug in front of me we hear the front door m shut. I crane my neck round to


    see who it was but all I see is James heading to the kitchen.


    15:50


    “Alpha has gone for a run to check on the patrols” James says pouring himself a hot milk, he checks


    the jug again as if wondering where all the milk is. Honestly these men don’t do well on no sleep. I get


    up. refill the mug and pop it back in the microwave. As I lean against the counter I ask “Why what’s


    up?” James looks at me and then Patrick “Nothing he’s just not had Leo out for a run for a bit”. Patrick


    gets up and looks out of the kitchen window, “Sure and he thought 3am was the perfect time to go


    running” I chuckle as I pour James a now full mug of warm milk. I’m so caught up doing the task I don’t


    realise what’s happening until it’s toote.


    “Anna, run!” Patrick yells as a giant brown wolfes smashing through the kitchen window. Patrick


    shifts into his jet ck wolf with white socks and starts fighting the intruder. James grabs my arm and


    pulls me towards the hall as two wolvese sliding into the kitchen. We are trapped. Patrick is


    fighting and me and James are blocked by two wolves. ‘We have to run, I can’t shift us yet, get out


    Anna’ Winter is awake and her hackles are up. One of the two wolves turns and jumps on Patrick’s


    back. he lets out an ungodly howl as the wolf drags. its ws down his back. I look at James as a tall


    man steps round the wolves. He’spletely n*ked, he has deep brown hair and a scar over his right


    eye. He’s got blood covering his b*dy.


    “No one else has to die, hand over the Omega” who died? Someone died? I look at James, James isn’t


    there anymore. In his ce is a giant grey wolf. Zeus is massive, I quickly move out of his way. I don’t


    want to be in the way of this wolf and his prey.


    “Have it your way” With a flick of his head all three wolves turn and start fighting with Zeus. In all the


    chaos the stranger gets hold of me. I’m biting and scratching anything I can reach. I scream for James,


    I scream for Fraction, I scream for anyone listening. I’m being pulled backwards outside and into the


    night. As we hit the outside I feel a sharp sting in my neck, before I sumb to the dark I’m almost


    sure I see a massive ck wolf running towards us, he’s so far away though.

    And then nothing. It’s just ck.


    When Ie to the first thing I notice is that we are moving, the vibrations under my butt tell me I’m in


    a vehicle of some sort. Iy still so my captures don’t realise I’m awake. There is a bag over my head


    and my hands are tied behind my back, my ankles are bound together too. I couldn’t move even if I


    wanted to. ‘Winter what do we do?’ I implore my wolf, I hear nothing back. ‘Winter?’ Nothing, not even


    at growl. I have no idea what happened but it looks like I’m alone right now. If Fraction hadn’t been


    stubborn and sworn me in I might have been able to contact a pack member, although I don’t know


    how long I’ve been asleep, I could be too far away for anyone to link with me.


    “I think he’s going to be happy with this one, he’s been searching for her for over two years now” It’s the


    same voice from the kitchen. Oh g*d I really am being taken from my pack.


    “She sure is pretty” I feel a hand on my head, I will myself to be still.


    “Hands off the merchandise. You know how he feels about used product,”


    “He let us use that other bi*ch up.” I shiver as this is said.


    “She was a sl*ve, no one wanted her. This one will sell for a fortune. Young enough to be ripe, an


    Omega and she’s a da*n knockout. No wonder those wolves fought so hard for her,” I try to fight the


    urge to


    be sick.


    “Speaking of knockout, she’s awake,” The van jolts to a stop and I hear a door being opened and


    closed. After a few seconds I hear another door being opened and the floor beneath me dips a little.


    They don’t remove the bag off my head but I do feel a sharp pr*ck in my arm. “Back to sleep for you” I


    hear as the cknesses again.
