I struggled to move, therefore as my eyelids fluttered open I realized I was tied down. My wrists were cuffed to this metal bed that I was laying on and so was my ankles. I was literally restrained it. The only thing I remembered was being paranoid inside of Taylor and I's hotel room, then someone came from behind me and shoved something to my nose, making me pass out.

If I had learned anything these past few months of trying to figure of Kale and Kingsley, they did always warn me of these people who have been after me. These people who have been trying to take me. The "Catchers." I couldn't even lift my head to look around the room to take in my surroundings but I could see the room was white. The ceiling had rectangular lights that kept flicking every second. Almost like the lights were old.

If I didn't understand then, why my mates chose to hide me from this life, I definitely understood now. I was in the same area as my mates but I still managed to get taken. This is what they were trying to protect me from all along, this is what they feared the most and now it was happening to me. I was in tears by now. Thinking of how I stupid I was. I don't know why but I blamed myself. I felt like I took my mates for granted, everything they had ever done for me was for my own good and I punished them for it. Now, what they were trying to protect me from the most was now our reality. I wanted my life back. I wanted my friends and I wanted my mate back. As I lay strapped to this uncomfortable metal bed, I wondered if I'd ever see any of them again.

Taylor's POV

It's been three whole days.

We've found no trace of Ariel and everyone was freaking out. Ashton sent all of his commanders from his pack to go out to different packs and even search within the human towns of Canada to try and find her. He left his own pack unprotected, just so he can send all of his people out to find her. Kale and Kingsley didn't have to do that because they had enough commanders to send out to find Ariel while still managing to keep the pack protected. Ashton, Kale and Kingsley teamed up together to find Ariel as well. Day and night they were all out, trying to pick up her scent. They would repeatedly go back to the hotel for any clues but the hotel didn't have any. They told me it was like Ariel's scent was swipe clean, it was like she was never there.

Eleanor had been crying non-stop and I've been trying my best to keep her together while trying to keep myself strong. The last few days that I've been with Ariel I've seen a side of her that made me feel like I knew she was okay right now. No matter where she was or who took her I know we will find her because she was strong and tough, and my best friend. There was no way that I was going to lose a third best friend, I just couldn't accept that.

Right now we were at Kingsley's pack house and it was packed with his commanders and different Alphas visiting to help Kinglsey and Kale find their mate. The twins were taking it very hard. Kingsley and Kale even almost killed one of Kingsley's commanders a few minutes for admitting that he picked up on Ariel's scent while he was near a small town called "Brimming dale." Yesterday. But he says her smell disappeared so he decided not to search the town and look for her. They beat the man until one of the other alphas managed to stop him but it wasn't easy. The plan now was for all of us to go brimming dale. If the commander would have told the told the twins about his lead yesterday, then we would've been there by now but Kingsley's commander withheld that information from us until just now.

Ariel's POV

The clinking of tools made me jolt awake in a gasp. I cried my self to sleep and I had no idea how long I had been out for. There was a bright light above me, like a lamp so it took me a minute to see what was happening above me. The first thing I saw was a white long lab coat that was pulled over a black buttoned up shirt. My eyes trailer higher up, until they land on a pair of jade green eyes that are starring right back at me. My entire body jumped, I didn't realize he was staring at me until now.
"Hey, hey, it's okay." He cooed. "I'm not going to hurt you." He frowned. He seemed gentle. He puts his hand on his chest and introduces himself. "I'm Theodore, my brother and I provide tools for the doctors who work here." He explains and looks at his brother across the room. The brother smiles at me, but continues with whatever he is doing. He is wearing clear protective glasses, and he's leaning over a white table, looking at something through a microscope. They both looked young, if not my age then a little older.

Theodore cadre fully watched my reaction and noticed I was still scared to death. "Are you okay? Why are you shaking?"

I parted my lips to speak, almost startled by my own voice as I whispered. "where am I?" My eyes circled the little area that I could see but it wasn't much. Just a bunch a white tables, and things you would see in lab or something.

"Brimming Dale." He smiled lightly. "A little town right near the boarder." I didn't know what he was talking about but he seemed like a nice guy. The other guy then approached me and I cleared my throat attempting to speak again.

"Do you know Alpha Kingsley." I mumbled. They both paused and looked at me. "What did you say?" The other guy who just walked up asked me. He had a blond buzz cut hair style and his eyes were green like Theodore. He seemed okay too. I cleared my throat again and spoke loudly.

"Kingsley, Alpha Kingsley and Kale. The Vampire."

Both of their eyes went wide in shock, and they looked at each other.

"Do YOU know him?" The brother asked. "Don't tell me you are from his pack?" His voice sounds nervous. I arched my brows confused by there infatuation with him. Did they not know who I was? "Kingsley is the most feared alpha in the world, Kale is the most dangerous vampire to have ever lived." Theodore tells me. I admired the fact that they spoke of the twins that way. "I am their mate." My voice was still scratchy.

The shock on there faces made me kind of nervous.
"Oh my god." Theodore quickly stood to his and looks at his brother. The brothers looks at me in a panic. "You were kidnapped weren't you? They took you!" He exclaimed as if he was putting things together as he said them. "Well I don't know who took me, but I was kidnapped, yes." I told them.

Theodore shook his head and gently starts to uncuff me from the bed. "They've wanted you for years, they've been searching for you sweetheart, and they think you have powers. That's what they want."
