Filed To Story: Their Bullied and Broken Mate by Teri Petry
Reggie started to pound on the door, telling me to hurry. I pulled up Damian’s contact information, and sent him a text.
Me: Babe, Josh has taken me. I am somewhere near his uncle’s place at a community center. His uncle didn’t want me without my sisters, so he is taking me somewhere else. I have 13% left of my phone battery. I’m scared. Please contact my brother, Maddix. He will help you find me. I have a locator on my phone, but once my phone dies, I don’t know what to do. Please be quick.
I clicked send. Josh was now banging on the door, and I told him I was still using the restroom. “Make it the quickest shit you have ever done, Alette. We need to leave,” he threatened. I went to mute my phone again, and noticed Damian had replied. I rushed to text back, and I turned onto the water in the sink.
Damian: Alette! Your brother is already here. Stay strong, we are contacting the cell company to track you. Don’t use your phone if you don’t have to. We are coming for you baby. Hang in there, and don’t piss him off.
Me: Please hurry. We are leaving his uncle’s pack now. Honestly, I think this is your pack. I miss you. Come save me.
I shoved the phone into my pants this time, and walked out of the restroom. Josh glared at me as Reggie shook his head. Once we were back in the car, my hands were bound again. I tried to listen to Josh and Reggie’s conversation, but he had the radio up just loud enough to where I couldn’t fully understand what they were saying. All I could make out was, about an hour south, and the coastline.
It didn’t take long for us to get to our location, and it was way off of the road in the forest. It was an old hunter’s shack, and it looked as if no one had been there in a really long time. I knew I wasn’t going to get any kind of signal, but I prayed to the goddess that I had got something where my locator could help them. If anything, they would be able to find my last location before we turned off the road.
Josh pushed me inside, and I could tell that whatever he was on was wearing off. His energy was totally different. He sat me on an old leather recliner, and kicked out the foot rest. With my hands bound, it would be a struggle to get out of the position I was in. I figured it was best to just cooperate with Josh, and hopefully he would eventually give me more freedom to roam around.
Everything from here on forward needed to be strategic and calculated. If I had to play along with whatever he was playing to survive, I was going to do it.
The Search
*Damian*
Returning from my business trip, the last thing I expected to find out was that my gorgeous mate had been kidnapped. I had a wide range of emotions consuming my body, and I needed to find a way to calm them. The anger, fear, and anxiety were wrecking havoc on me. I sat at the dining table at Alette’s house with her family, trying to take in everything they were telling me. Her sister, Adelina, was beside herself. She blamed herself, but no matter what any of us told her about it not being her fault at all, she only withdrew more. I can understand why she felt guilt, but it wasn’t her fault that Josh had sinister motives.
Maddix, Alette’s brother, and alpha of Blood Moon was on his phone talking to various packs. He was hoping that Josh would slip up and take her into someone else’s territory to try and hide out. I knew he was smarter than that, and deep in my gut, I knew where he was. I just didn’t want to go in blindly and risk her getting hurt. My text alert went off, and I picked up my phone. Alette’s name was displayed on my screen.
Alette: Babe, Josh has taken me. I am somewhere near his uncle’s place at a community center. His uncle didn’t want me without my sisters, so he is taking me somewhere else. I have 13% left of my phone battery. I’m scared. Please contact my brother, Maddix. He will help you find me. I have a locator on my phone, but once my phone dies, I don’t know what to do. Please be quick.
Bingo! Maddix was still on his phone, so I yelled and got his cousin Luke’s attention. “Luke! Lette just sent me a message. I am pretty sure they are at Spirit Mountain. She says she has a locator on her phone. Who can access that?” I asked. Maddix must have heard me because he ended his call and approached me. “Can I see the text, please?” he asked. After he read it, our eyes met. “Damn it. I’m going to contact our dad, Loki. He had to give me the pass code to check the locator information on the pack’s phone plan. He is going to spazz,” he said. I shook my head. “No, wait on that if it’s only going to cause more issues. Addie, Asteria, do either now the passwords she uses for her emails or socials?” I asked. I knew none of them understood why I was asking, but they would soon find out.
Addie wrote down some information on a piece of paper and slid it across the table to me. “These are all the passwords that she normally uses. She has recycled those same ones for years,” she said. I thanked her and took a picture of the paper. I sent it to one of my good friends who worked for a search and rescue unit for the state of Oregon. If anyone could hack into her phone, it would be her. Maddix was going to call the cell carrier to see if it was possible to bypass the pass code due to the emergency of the situation.
I replied to her text before I messaged Alice. I told her that her brother was already with me and her sisters, as was her grandma and cousin. I told her to not use her phone unless completely necessary to save battery, and not to piss off Josh. No matter what.
When she replied, she begged us to hurry because he was rushing her, so they could leave the uncles’ pack. She said she was almost positive it was my pack, Spirit Mountain. Out of curiosity, I called my dad to see where he was, but got his voicemail. “Hey dad, it’s me. Just wanted to see if you were in town to maybe grab dinner, but I will try and call you later,” I said.
