“I got a call and Cassie’s house is ready.”
Colt POV
“You look like you haven’t slept these last two days.”
Just looking at Jacob, his eyes were sunken, he was quick to anger and he was even fidgety.
“I think you mean three days.”
Jacob rolled his eyes at me. It was in fact Thursday. The last three days have been a bust. There was no direction to go on so we have been mapping out sections and going through them with a fine tooth comb. My warriors were searching as well but still, we have come up short Ice’s luna ceremony was in two days, so Penny has been working around the clock to make sure everything is perfect for her. This was a different view on things. Growing up, I knew Ice had assistants and I saw how much she worked to get things done. However, I never once thought about all the work Penny put into it. Now, the front row seat to her craziness has shown me exactly how hard she truly works. Never once does Penny complain. Exactly the opposite, she does it without even thinking about it. She never is tired or complained once. Lately, I’ve struggled with the idea of wanting her to slow down and relax more but she seems to enjoy this. On minimal, I will have a talk with Ice about doing the same for Penny’s ceremony.
“I’m surprised you even knew the difference.”
I tried joking with him. Jacob just looked at me like I was st upid.
“What do you want me to say?”
Jacob sighed and faced the woods but I don’t think he saw anything.
“The truth. How are you handling things? I know that was a blow but like Penny said, we don’t think it was meant to hurt you.”
We both truly believed that. Did she omit things… yes. Did she lie to us and because she is hiding something to help them… no.
“I don’t know. Like, I knew she wasn’t a virgin and it honestly took me a long time to get her to relax around me. Even to comfortably hold my hand was a struggle. I completely understood and never once did I push it. We both had to learn to adapt to what the other person needed but I thought she told me everything. I thought she spilled all her secrets to me in private.”
“Jacob, have you even spilled all your secrets to her?”
I gave him a look. I was ready to call b ulls hit on anything but no.
“That’s not the same. I never had a mate before her.”
Jacob bent down and picked up what looked like a T.V. remote but it was covered -in mud.
“She couldn’t help what the Moon Goddess gave her. Probably why she was so scared when she found you at the party and Darin came out. He knew she was once mated to his gamm a and then she got another ga mma at his rival. He would have never allowed her to be given to us if she knew anything.”
Trying to reason with him might be futile but I was going to try.
“Or he thought she would never say anything because of fear.”
“Regardless, you can’t live on what if. Has she started therapy?”
I didn’t want to push but I needed my beta back.
“I made her start the next day. They have had two, two hour sessions.”
Jacob nodded his head as he kicked around some leaves.
“ALPHA!”
I heard one of my warriors yell out from my right.
“Come on.”
Slapping him on the chest, we jogged over to where my warrior was standing. He was looking at an old Victorian style home. Wooden boards covered the windows, paint was almost completely gone and the entire house looked like it was leaning, slightly to the
“Everyone stay here. It looks unstable.”
I commanded as Jacob and I walked up to his. First, we walked around the entire house. A basement window was broke but I doubt even Penny could fit through it. Inanimate objects were sc attered around the yard to the point it could pass for an actual junk yard but with trash. A chair here and a broken bedframe there. Everything had a covering of vines that told me it had been awhile. since anything here was placed.
The back door squeaked as Jacob slowly opened it.
“S HIT!”
Jacob yelled and jumped back as a racoon ran through the door, between his legs and into the woods.
“Little jumpy?”
I couldn’t hide my smile but I did have to bite the inside of my cheek to avoid laughing.
“F uck off.”
Jacob said as he walked inside. Walking inside, we were in a little nook off the kitchen. There must have been a table here at one point but now there was chains attacked to the wall. They were high enough that my over six foot frame had to stand on my tip toes just to reach them. Jacob kept going as he walked into what looked like a living space to the left. There wasn’t a T.V. but a fireplace that sat against the far wall. Two couches faced eachother with huge coffee table in the middle. Each couch had a stained white sheet over them but pressed down like they have been sat on. Brown smear marks confetti the sheets. Someone either had residual blood on them or they were bleeding themselves. The layer of dust that coated everything. However, looking down, there was some footsteps imprints that made me believe someone has been here recently.
“Look.”
I said to Jacob and pointed down. Our eyes followed them to the next room. You could either take a left or so straight into a spiral staircase.
“I’ll go up, you look down here.”
“Okay.”
Jacob turned and kept going as I went up the stairs. Each step creaked like I was going to find out what was under these stairs at any moment. So when I reached the top, a breath I didn’t realize I was holding came out. Ubor in the tiniest landing. Other than a dead flower in a pot, a window over looked the front yard. My warriors were standing around, just looking for threats. Some were talking quietly but most kept looking behind them. Never once did my alpha sense go off that something wasn’t right, so opening the door, I looked inside. This must have been a bedroom but it was converted into an office. A single desk stood in the middle of the room. The desk itself was not impressive. It looked like a fancy four person table that they just moved from the nook to up here. A lap with a red shade was in the corner of the desk with papers sc attered around the desk and the floor. There was a couch against the wall but this one didn’t have a sheet. What it did have was a women’s clothing and only one shoe. Not wanting to focus on that, I went over to the desk. Shifting things around, there was a little black box. Holding it up, it looked like a device you can use to make copies of keys. Blueprints were on the bottom. Pulling those out, it looked like the building that Ice was taken to. Alec and I blew that f ucker up so that didn’t seem important anymore. Still, I was a little irked we didn’t have this before. This could have saved us so much. There was a hand sketched blueprint of my pack and Alec’s. It showed where the tunnels were and the time line from when they were working on it. All stuff I should have had before. Now it just seemed useless. Still, maybe Ice would see something I didn’t. She usually did. Gathering everything into a pile, I kept looking around to make sure nothing was missed. Right as I was about to leave, a picture caught my eye. It was leaning. against the wall, on the floor. The picture looked like it was hand sketched with charcoal. The paper looked worn and brownish but it was of the wolf that really caught my attention. It wasn’t exactly a match to the one in my office but it was similar. Not sure why my heart started racing but as I picked the picture up, my eyes went to the lower right corner. The signature, Adalynn was finely written in elegant cursive. This was one of my mother’s drawings. GET IT NOW
“Colt, you should come see this!”
Jacob yelled from down the stairs.
“Coming.”
I said back. Tucking the picture under my arm, I gave this room one last glance before heading down the stairs.
“Most of the house is bare. There is evidence someone has been here but nothing much. There is empty toilet paper rolls, cigarette buds that seem fresh with a new pack beside it and clothes that don’t have any dust on them. Blood but not dust.”
“What do I need to see though?”
I asked. Surely, he didn’t call me down for clothes.
“Over here.”
He walked around the corner and there was a staircase leading down. Why is it always the basement? No idea but Jacob walked down into the basement like it was nothing important.
“Is there a light?”
I asked as I followed him down. The stairs, themselves were wooden ones with no back. My love for horror movies was not helping as I just pictures someone reaching threw them and grabbing my ankle, or taking a knife and cutting my Achilles tendon.
“Yeah, over here but you need to stand right here to get the full affect.”
Jacob moved me just to the right of the stairs before walking into the darkness.
“Ready?”
“Obviously.”
I said, clearly unamused. Jacob flicked the lights on. My breath was caught in my throat as the realization of what I was looking at absorbed in my brain. Three different cubbies were open with only a mattress and a chain sticking out from the wall. At the end of each chain was a metal dog collar. Needles lined the walls with blacken spoons, lighters and other drug
“I think this house was used as a location to sell the girls. We would have to ask Eleanor but look, there is no way out. Other than those tiny windows, the only way out of here is up the stairs. Over here, there is holding cells.”
Jacob walked around and pulled back a sheet. There was a massive cage with benches against the walls. Similar to what you would see in a police station. In the middle was a shower head, pointed straight down. Water suddenly came out of it. Looking over, Jacob had turned a k nob so water came out and turned it back to shut the water off.
“So they placed all the girls in there. Either showered them all or one of them at a time to their demand and then moved them to these viewing centers. I would guess they either tried their product out or just went off looks.”
“That is my guess.”
Jacob just looked at the fresh water on the floor.
“There is an office up stairs that had a couch. I would guess that they would test out the girls to see if they would be good to be sold or if it was best to kill them. I would put money that if we searched the ground, we will find multiple bodies.”
Looking around, this looked to be a secret place to do business that was not in their pack grounds.
“Why not do it at their packhouse?”
Jacob seemed to be following my thoughts.
“Vin and Cash might have been doing this on the side.”
I guessed.
“Or we are missing something entirely.”
Jacob frowned and looked around.
“I hate to say it but maybe we need Ice to put her brain to the test.”
Last thing I wanted to do was bring my sister out here but if we were missing something, we should know about it.
“Did you find any surveillance?”
Jacob asked me.
“No. I didn’t.”
It felt strange but I knew when to call it. Pulling out my phone, I hit Alec’s number.
“Yeah?”
Alec answered after the first ring.
“We found the house but I need Ice to look at it.”
There was a loud silence on the other end before some murmuring.”
Hello?”
Ice’s voice came on the phone.
“Hey, sis. I found the house but something just isn’t adding up. Can you come look at it?”
“I’m in my sweats and have a bowl of ice cream.”
