Peyton’s POV

Ever Green pack

I can’t remember anything after I got knocked out, but I know that I am in a vehicle, and I have a blindfold on. My face really hurts, and I am terrified of what is about to happen. I remember those two men from Ever Green, but they were both fairly new warriors in the pack. They had been rogues, and they had been brought in to see if they would be a good fit for Ever Green. I am going to say that it is not going to work out between us after what they just did. Only now do I realize that they were just there to try to take me, and it worked out for them. Percy just freaking left this morning, and like 5 hours later, I am kidnapped. Percy was wrong, I would have been safer with him. Percy! Oh, my Goddess, I need to contact Percy.

I reach out in our link to try to speak to him. I am still a little woozy from the blow I received, but I can’t manage to reach out to him just yet. I can hear one of the men in the car speaking on the phone. I can hear the voice coming through the phone and I know that voice. That piece of s**t!! How dare Timothy have me kidnapped. I can hear him panicking on the phone and I focus so I can hear. He is telling them to take Jasmine back. She may be the person next to me in the vehicle and I took a deep breath in to see if I can smell her, and sure enough, her familiar scent of caramel invades my senses. She is not awake yet, and I hope that she is OK. Me being a healer allows me to repair and heal at a quicker rate, so they are probably not aware of that just yet and think that I am still knocked out. I feel the vehicle turn around to head back. I need to tell Percy who took me. He will probably automatically assume that it is Jasper, and that will result in me being with Timothy for too long. I need Percy to come and get me right now. I will not be safe with Timothy, he has bad intentions, even worse than Jasper I would say. Jasper has never tried to touch me inappropriately and until the time he attempted to abduct me, I had suffered no problems at his hands. But Timothy was different. Timothy wanted a s****l relationship, and I don’t know how long I can hold him off. Now that Alpha James and I are on better terms, I know he will help me, but I am doubtful that Timothy will bring me to B***d Claw first. I am already figuring out what his plan is, and I am very concerned.

The men who took me are not good guys, they had no compunction about assaulting a female. They just followed instructions, and I am not wanting to find out what happens when you don’t comply. I am furious that Timothy did this, but I am glad to hear him tell the man on the phone to take Jasmine back. He is scared, and I have to hold the scoff in, Timothy will be the worst Alpha ever. He should be ashamed of himself. He has learned nothing in his training. I can’t put it on him not being trained at home, he did lose his mother, but a lot of other Alphas did too. Being Luna was putting a target on your back, but I will do my best to be the best Luna for my pack. I know what Timothy is trying to do. He said it before, he wants me back, he would call Percy a lot when I first came here. He would yell at Percy to not touch me, as he was going to take back his rejection. But I was not going to accept it. There was NOTHING that Timothy could do to make me accept him as my mate again.

He is evil and weak. He knew I was his mate and left me behind for 2 years. Knowing that he was condemning me to unmentionable abuse, from both his father and Fallon. Fallon was so blinded by jealousy that she made sure to make these last two years so much worse than the first 4 years of my abuse combined. How in the hell could he have let her know that I was his true mate? Knowing how she truly was, how vicious and ruthless she could be. He could not have been so blinded by her act that he wouldn’t know how truly dangerous she was, that just wasn’t possible. The answer was that I was just so beneath him and his station, that he just didn’t care, because I didn’t matter to him. He knew if I died, the bond would die as well, keeping him from having to claim me or acknowledge me as his mate. He is so utterly despicable in his actions. He never once thought of protecting me, I only because valuable to him once he found out who I was, and that I wasn’t the weak she-wolf that he had originally thought that I was. It is his loss and one that I can assure him that he won’t get back.

I stay still and kept my breathing slow and steady like I am still knocked out. I had felt the vehicle turn back, and I guess they are going to do what he said. They are taking Jasmine back to Ever Green. I have to make a run for it. I reach out to my wolf, Sienna. We are only going to get one chance at this. I can feel the door at my h*p, and I know that they will have to get me out, to get Jasmine out of the vehicle. We are either in the back seat of an SUV or a truck, I can’t tell which.

“We are blindfolded, but we can try to run away when they go to get Jasmine out of the vehicle,” Sienna tells me, and I agree. That is the only plan we have. I reach out in mindlink to Percy, as I am more conscious than I was a few minutes ago.

“Percy, can you hear me?” I asked him

“Peyton, oh thank the Goddess. Where are you?” Percy immediately responds.

“We are headed back to Ever Green, they are bringing Jasmine back. They were only after me. Timothy is behind this. They are bringing me to him, but I don’t think that it is B***d Claw where we will be going” I tell him. I hear him growl through our link. “I told the warriors that are patrolling the perimeter to listen for a vehicle,” Percy tells me.

“I am going to run after they get me out. Jasmine is in the middle, so they will have to get me out first. I will scream to alert them, but I am blindfolded, and won’t be able to run fast. Please let them know to listen for me” I ask him and have to hold back the sob that wants to escape.

“We are coming back. We will bring reinforcements. I love you, I will never stop looking for you. Be strong, if you can’t get free, know that I am coming to save you. We are getting plans in place right now to help. Do not worry, Peyton” Percy tells me, and I can’t stop the tears that come down my face.

I am scared and worried. I stay still as I feel the vehicle slowing down. This is it, I need to wait until they get Jasmin unloaded before running away. I can’t take the chance of them taking her with us as well. These are bad men, and she is an innocent girl. Plus, I am a healer. I will heal much faster than she will. I have taken some pretty bad hits before and made it through just fine, I will again. The truck stops and the men on the passenger side both open their doors and get out. My door is opened, and I am pulled out and laid down on the grass. I heard what Timothy said, he said to put her back into the packland, so one will have to climb the wall and the other to pass her up to be put over it. I will have to listen carefully and wait for her to be lowered down before I make my move. I can’t let them get her again.

I listen carefully and I heard the grunt as she is lifted up and another as the man at the top of the fence pulls her up. I heard the vehicle being turned around to face the direction that we came in and I heard Jasmine land on the ground on the other side of the wall. I push up and take off away from the direction that the men are in and let out an ear-piercing scream as I run. I take another deep breath and scream at the top of my lungs again. I am not running well as I can’t see the ground, and it isn’t level. This is harder than I thought it would be and I heard them both running toward me. I get knocked down hard to the ground, and the man didn’t pull any punches when he did it. He hit me hard in my side and my scream is cut short as the wind had been knocked out of me. My blindfold had also been half knocked off as well and I see the smirk of that jerk who had punched Jasmine and me in the face. Crap, why did it half to be him. I see his arm go back, he is going to punch me again, when is suddenly pushed off of me, by the second man. I have never seen him before, and he had a kinder expression on his face. He just pulled me up onto his shoulder and ran back to the truck like I weighed nothing. I see the man behind us running after us, and he looks pissed. Probably mad because he didn’t get to punch me again. He has some big issues.

I hear voices on the other side of the wall calling out that they had found Jasmine and were running towards where she had been placed. I go to take a deep breath to scream again, and I am deposited into the SUV quickly and a hand clamped over my mouth to keep me from screaming. The jerk hopped up front and slammed the door closed, and we sped off. I feel the tears run down my face at being taken again. I am glad Jasmine was found and that she is safe, but with that jerk up front, I wouldn’t put anything past him, and I know in my heart that I am not safe. I scramble back away from the man who had kept the jerk from hitting me, but I would be an i***t to trust him. He just literally kidnapped me.

He gave me a small smile and then spoke, “You mate wanted you back. So, he hired us to help him. Just stay calm, and you won’t come to any harm. I do not wish to hurt you.”

“You just took me away from my mate, I am marked by my second chance mate. I accepted the rejection that Timothy gave me. He is no longer my mate. He didn’t want me. He rejected me when he thought I was a pack slave, and when he found out that I was actually a ranked wolf, then he wanted to change his mind” I spit out at him. He looks like the most reasonable, and strongest of the three. I will have to get him to realize what he signed up for because I know that Timothy has lied to him, as he had told him that we were mates. He misinformed them to get them to help him carry this out. I need to get them on my side. I will reason with them. This man beside me looks like my only hope in this right now. He is much more intelligent than the other two, and clearly the leader, and the strongest of the three of them.

“Look, I am sorry for yelling at you. There has been a misunderstanding here. If you let me go, I will let you all go. I have no wish for you to be punished or killed. Just let me out of here right now and call Ever Green to tell them where I can be picked up. I will not pursue this with you. Now, Timothy, he will pay, but you need to let him be punished by himself. He overstepped, and the cost of it will be his life” I told them, and the jerk up front started laughing so hard, that he started gasping for air.

“What in the hell? Are you joking around with us? Do you think we are worried about Ever Green? They don’t even know who has you. Let alone where our camp is. None of us are worried about Heath and Percy. They allowed us to infiltrate their pack. They are nowhere near as powerful as we were led to believe. I mean we have only been here 2 weeks and we still managed to snatch you right out from under their noses. Just shut the hell up back there. No one cares about what you are saying” the jerk said, and then kept laughing.

“Shut up Terry, I will speak to her. What in the hell are you talking about, Peyton? Why would soon-to-be Alpha Timothy be a part of this?” the man next to me asked in a low tone. He is giving me respect, as I am the soon-to-be Luna of Ever Green, but when he says it, I really feel like he means B***d Claw, and I will NEVER be Timothy’s Luna. This man is clearly the smartest one in the SUV, and he is just testing me to see what I know, and how I know it. I am desperate, and he needs to know the consequences of their actions. I will try to implore him, but I don’t know if this is going to work. Clearly, they all work for Timothy, and are, at least for now, loyal to him. I need to bring out the big guns if I have a chance of trying to get one of them on my side. Hopefully, this will work out so even if it isn’t today, maybe in the next few days I will be able to get one of them to turn on Timothy and take me back to my parents or Ever Green. Hell, I would be OK with it if they dropped me off at B***d Claw with Alpha James. I couldn’t care which solution I get right now. I just need to figure a way out of this before Timothy does something horrible to me, and I shudder at the thought of it. He is disgusting, and just the type of person that would try it. He has clearly lied to them all to get them to help. I have got to make it clear to them, that if things go too far, none of them will be escaping the wrath of my mate and my father.

“Look, what I am about to say is the truth, and I can prove it, but you have to listen to me, your lives are at stake” I start out.

“Are you really going to let her talk, Jerry? Seriously? You know what a liar Timothy said she is. He already told you that she would tell us lies to gain her freedom. What are you doing?” the jerk said from the front, and the cold look that Jerry just gave him shut him up. Apparently, Jerry is not one to be trifled with, I can sense the fear rolling off of the jerk up front right now.

“Please, go on. I would actually like to hear what you are going to say” Jerry told me, with an amused expression on his face. The driver glanced back at me, which told me that they were all waiting to hear what I would tell them, and I decided to just show them instead. They all believed that I was a consummate liar, but nothing shuts people up like seeing things with their own eyes.

“How about I just show you instead, since you all believe that I am lying to you? Do you have a knife on you?” I asked Jerry, and his smile got even bigger.

“I do,” he told me with a smirk on his face. I remember his smile from earlier, and he was a handsome guy when he wasn’t looking at me like I was about to pull a kiddie magic trick on him.

“Please get it out. I will need you to use it after I tell you this. I am the only daughter of Alpha King Sebastian and Luna Queen Deanna Hunt.” I heard their collective gasp, but then I see the jerk up front narrow his eyes and cut a look at Jerry like he was saying, “I told you so.” I ignore him and continue to speak. “I can see the doubt, but you all know what Queen Deanna can do right? That she is a healer” I held out my arm. “Please cut me,” I tell Jerry.

I can see the frown on his forehead. I can see the doubt on his face, but I can also see the fear growing in his eyes. Me being bold enough to tell him to cut me, so I can show them is a big deal, it shows right there that there is a 90% chance that I am NOT lying like Timothy said that I would. No one in their right mind would do it. I can see the wheels turning as he tries to figure out the game I am playing, but nothing will solve this quicker than what I told him to do. He gets the knife out and I hold my arm out to him. I brace for the pain, and when it comes, I focus on my healing. My mother worked with me for me to learn how to do this faster than just allowing my wolf to do it. It is not a big cut, and I won’t be completely wiped and exhausted from doing this. This will be quick, and fairly painless for me.

My arm glows as I fix the cut and Jerry drops his still bloody knife into the floorboard as he stares at my now healed arm. The jerk is finally stunned into silence and the SUV swerved as the driver couldn’t resist looking back to see what in the hell was going on. I see the fear in Jerry’s eyes increase, and he gulps. I know he is going to have to think this through, but I need to help him out with this as well. He has to make the right decision for himself, his men, and me. This will not end well for them if he doesn’t come to the right conclusion, so I will give him a nudge.

“I will give you three until nightfall tomorrow to take me to my father, or at least to Alpha James to protect me until my father can get there. I will make sure that he knows that you were lied to and that Timothy is the only one who needs to be dealt with in this. But after that, especially if you allowTimothy to hurt me, I will make sure you and your men and hunted down and killed in the worst possible way. Just like I have to fear what plans Timothy will have for me, you can worry about the plans that my father, Alpha Heath, and my mate Percy will have for you” I told them in a calm tone. I am dead serious about this, and I wanted them to know that. I get quiet so they can think this through. I see the driver look up at me in the rearview mirror several times and then he said, “Jerry, look at her. Look at her face and hair. I believe her, she has the same hair color as the Queen and the same eye color as the King. She looks a lot like the Royal’s youngest child. I don’t want to be involved with this anymore. I believe her, you need to figure something out, quickly.”

“I will figure something out, just give me a few hours. I will ask Timothy, I will know if he is lying, as he has a tell. I will set it right if he is lying to us” Jerry said.

I smile as I think about the ball I got rolling. Goddess willing, I will get out of here before Timothy can get his dirty, disgusting hands on me. I know what he has planned for me, and I will do whatever I can to keep that from happening to me. I have been through enough, I need time to completely heal, not be scarred by Timothy because he wants what isn’t his anymore. I get told to put my blindfold on, and I comply. I want them to realize that I am not the problem, Timothy is. When we stopped, I am surprised to hear a lot more men than I was expecting to find here. Jerry takes my arm and pulls me along next to him. I am trying to not trip, and stay on my feet, but the terrain is uneven, and it is hard to walk fast without being able to see. I enter a house with Jerry, and I hear him say, “OK you can take your mask off now, Peyton. I believe what you said, and I believe that you may be the only person who can save us from your father and Ever Green. I am willing to make a deal with you. But don’t double-cross us. Tomorrow, I will take you to safety, Timothy will not be coming tonight, as he said that they would be watching him and Jasper as suspects in your a*******n. I will be the only one to take you back to safety, my men will stay behind. If I don’t return to camp, one of them WILL find a way to end you, and unfortunately, that will probably be Terry, as he enjoys hurting women. So, you agree to let me leave, unharmed, and you won’t have any problems with us ever again. I have the only key to your cabin, you will be safe in here, and you have food and water that I already stocked if you need it. I will remind my men that you are off-limits. I believe that you are who you say you are, and I will work on a plan tonight for you to be returned to your people safely.”

Jerry exits and I hear the padlock lacing through the hasp on the door, but that actually makes me feel safer. I heard several voices talking when we got here, and I know that there are at least 15 men out there. I walk around the cabin, and I decide to get some water from the sink in the bathroom. I don’t fully trust them, and I won’t take the chance on the food or water being tampered with. I have gone 24 hours without food before, this is a piece of cake for me. I put a chair under the handle of the door that was the only way into the cabin, and I laid down. I need my rest in case I have to run tomorrow, I finally fall into a fitful sleep worried about what was to come tomorrow.
