The Alpha Don New Luna

Chapter 25 mercury missing

Cheyenne’s P.O.V

  This isn't him. This isn't Mercury. This isn't him, this isn't him, I thought, repeating it over and over again in my head as he carried on thrusting into me, relentless in his actions. Mercury would never do this to me, he would never hurt me like this. I opened my eyes just in time to see him pulling a knife out of nowhere. I closed my eyes and half shifted into my wolf, breaking the chains and pulling away from him. I turned kicking him in the gut and he started to laugh, realising that I knew he wasn't Mercury, he wasn't my Mercury. This was a f*****g shifter!

  “So, you finally figured it out. Took seconds for me to transfer his memories to me, but it was worth it to be inside of you.” The Shifter said, winking at me. I growled and lunged forward, struggling with him before finally grabbing the knife. I jumped back from him and saw that the knife was silver, I felt it burn my skin as I held it. The shifter jumped at me and tried to over power me, but I quickly dodged out of the way just in time and punched him in the ribs, breaking them and making him cry out. I jumped on him, making him fall to the ground and held the knife at his throat, daring him to move just a little so I could finish him.

  “KENNY! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE NOW!” I shouted through the mind-link. The shifter brought his fist up and punched me in the side, making me loosen the grip I had on the knife and he knocked me off of him. I punched him repeatedly in the side where his broken ribs were, making him spit out blood. I knew i had punctured his lung when i heard how he was breathing, even though he tried to cover it up. I took my chance and jumped on him again, knocking him back on the floor and holding the knife to his throat, pinning his arms above his head with my free hand.

  "If I knew you liked it on top I would have obliged." The shifter said and spit blood in my face. That was the last straw, I brought the knife up and stabbed him in the head over and over again, I didn't even see Kenny come in, until he was dragging me off the mangled body of the shifter. Kenny looked at the scene in front of him and then back to me in horror.

  “Did you leave Mercury at any point tonight?” I asked and he slowly nodded.

  “I had to get the cases out of the SUV.” Kenny replied, just as the shifter's body returned to its natural form.

  “That's when they got him, that's when it happened. They got him, Kenny. Move, let me get dressed, we’re going to find him.” I said, walking past Kenny and out of the room, but he grabbed my arm.

  “Cheyenne, did he….did he do what I think he did to you?” Kenny asked me and I lowered my eyes, not wanting to think of that disgusting piece of s**t any longer.

  “Link the guys and let them know what's happened.” I replied, avoiding his question. He nodded in understanding, knowing not to push the subject further and even when his eyes glazed over, mind-linking the others I could see how angry he was. I went back to my room and got dressed, I really wanted a shower to scrub that bastards scent and touch off me, but there was no time, I needed to get Mercury back. I went downstairs and everyone was in the living room, waiting for me.

  “Who do you think might have him?” Trevor asked and I thought for a moment, until it finally came to me.

  “That son of a b***h Alpha Kent. get some warriors and fighters together, we’re going after them tonight.” I said, but Kenny shook his head.

  “Cheyenne, listen, if we go after him tonight they will destroy us and we will have no hope of reducing Mercury. They will be expecting us to come tonight and they will be prepared for it, they will be heavily guarded and could possibly kill Mercury if we attempt it tonight. We will go tomorrow night, when they are least expecting it, but until then try and see if you can mind-link Mercury. Talk to him and make sure he’s okay, you're the only person that will keep him strong and focused.” Kenny said and I nodded, knowing he was right. We couldn't go charging in straight away, they would be expecting it and there was no way in hell I was going to lose Mercury because we were rushing and not thinking things through. I had to be strong for the pack, I was the Alpha now until mercury returned and he would return.

  Mercury’s P.O.V (The Real Mercury)

  I woke up in a dark room, my head was pounding and the last thing I remember was telling Kenny to get the cases and then being hit over the head from behind. They knocked me out and now I am here, chained to the way with silver chains and even though it was burning my wrists all I could think about was Cheyenne. Suddenly the lights came on, blinding me and the door opened. I blinked a few times to adjust to the sudden brightness and once I was able to see right and looked up there he was, Alpha Kent. He wasn't alone, there was some strange woman next to him and I knew she wasn't his mate, Jennifer was his mate. I shook my head and tried to clear the fog I felt when I received a buzzing sort of noise and then I heard a voice. Cheyenne.

  “Mercury, where are you? Don't worry we are coming for you, my love. We think Alpha Kent has you, he sent a shifter in place of you. He tried…..he tried to hurt me, but I realised it wasn't you and I killed him. I knew you would never hurt me like that. We’ll be there soon, I promise.” Cheyenne said, mind-linking me. I growled out as soon as I heard that he tried to hurt her.

  “You're right it is him and he has a strange woman with him, but it's not his mate Jennifer. What do you mean he tried to hurt you? What do you mean I would never hurt you like that, like what? What the f**k did he do to you? I swear I will kill him.” I replied, mind-linking her back. I wanted to know what that bastard did to my mate, my Cheyenne, MINE!

  “Don't worry, love. I’m okay…..just remember that we’ll be there tomorrow night. Stay strong, love. We need to end the link so he doesnt get suspicious. I love you, Mercury.” Cheyenne said and the link ended. I looked over at Kent and growled, knowing that he had sent someone to hurt my mate pissed me off, it's one thing to mess with me, but to mess with my mate means you have signed your own death certificate.

  “No matter what you do Kent, either I will kill you or Cheyenne will. Even if you kill me you will never be top Don, if you recall you have to kill both not just one. I'm ready, are you?” I said, growling at him and then the woman stepped forward and into the light.

  “And how do you know that I'm not Cheyenne, that she's not here right now? You foolish, foolish man, I'm going to have a lot of fun with you.” the woman said, smirking at me and I growled at her.

  “You touch me b***h and you will die.” I said, growling, but she just laughed. Was this b***h really that stupid?

  “Not if you're chained to the wall with silver….oh wait you are, so how will you get out? You're not as tough as everyone says you are, everyone has a weakness and you have two, Cheyenne and silver.” The woman said, smirking at me. She took a syringe from behind her back and came closer to me, sticking it into my neck and from the burning feeling I had I knew it was wolfsbane.

  “There you go, now you can't link your mate.” The woman said and again I growled, wanting to kill her slowly.

  “When I get out, I’ll make sure to rip your ugly f*****g head off your shoulders.” I snapped, but I could feel the effects of the wolfsbane already starting to work and it would only be a matter of time before I was out cold again.

  “Not if I kill you first.” The woman said, turning and walking away.

  Cheyenne’s P.O.V

  It was four in the morning and I was downstairs, pacing back and forth, waiting for the sun to rise. There was no way I was going to sleep, not when Mercury wasn't here and not when there was so much to be done. I had already taken four showers to try and get that bastard's smell off me, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't forget his touch and even now it was making me shudder. Goldie and Trevor were here with me keeping an eye on me, but they were also on edge and every so often Goldie would look my way and mind-link me, asking if I really was okay. Each time I would reply with I’m fine or I would change the subject, but I wasn't fine and I don't think anybody would be after that, but I wasn't going to show it and I didn’t want pity or fussing over. I was pissed off, I just wanted to forget it and get Mercury back, but the soreness between my legs was a constant reminder. I was brought out of my thoughts by a sudden knock on the door and it even startled Trevor and Goldie. I picked up the silver dagger and held it behind my back as I walked over with Trevor standing behind me, just in case. I opened the door and Trevor’s eyes went wide with surprise.

  “Hey man, what are you doing here, you weren’t supposed to be here until this afternoon.” Trevor asked, recognising him, but I was still suspicious after the shifter.

  “Yeah about that, Mercury was mind-linking me and suddenly it stopped. I was almost here, but when that happened I decided to shift and run the rest of the way. What the hell is going on?” The man said, but I wouldn't move out of his way.

  “How do we know you're not a shifter, the last one tried to….nevermind, but how do we know you're not?” I asked, cautiously.

  “A shifter can't turn into a wolf and back, I can.” The man replied, taking a few steps back and started to shift into a reddish brown wolf and then he shifted back to his human form, putting on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

  “That doesn't prove anything. Trevor, ask him something that only the two of you would know the answer to.” I said and Trevor sighed.

  “Alright Hawk, when you were at the red bar inn with Mercury and me a few years back. What did we do to the rogue that tried to drug the she-wolf and drag her off?” Trevor asked, but Hawk just started laughing.

  “First off there's no such bar named that. Second, if we were at a bar no rogue would be able to get into it, let alone drug anyone.” Hawk replied and Trevor nodded.

  “Okay, it's him, let him inside.” Trevor said and I moved out of the way. Hawk walked inside, putting his bags down and looked around.

  “So, what happened? Where is Mercury and who are you?” Hawk asked, looking at me. We all took a seat in the living room and I began to explain who I was, everything that had happened, including what the shifter had done to me and by the time I had finished Hawk let out the loudest, angriest growl ever, shaking the floorboards of the house.

  “Luna Alpha, I swear I'll get your Alpha and my friend back, but you need to get your rest and sleep. You're not going to be of any help if you don't rest. We will sleep, get up, eat and then go get him. We will kill anyone that gets in our way. I promise, on my honour.” Hawk said, kneeling in front of me and bowing his head. I knew he was right, I was already too tired to think straight and I was burning myself out even more by trying to stay awake. I nodded and got up from the couch, I knew the only place I would be able to sleep would be in our room, where I could have his scent surround me. I walked upstairs to our room and walked in, straight to the dresser. I pulled out one of Mercury’s t-shirts and put it on, instantly calming down and relaxing when I inhaled his scent. I got in bed and just laid there for a couple of hours, until Mercury’s scent lulled me to sleep. I started dreaming that we were at Alpha Kent’s house, but I couldn't find Mercury anywhere. I was walking down a long hall and suddenly I heard giggling coming from one of the bedrooms and then I heard his voice.

  “I love you, Cheyenne.” Mercury said, just as I opened the door and saw him in bed with another woman. Why was he calling this b***h Cheyenne? That wasn't me, she looked nothing like me. What the f**k is going on? I woke up, startled, but I remembered everything and if this was like my other dreams then it was going to come true. I couldn't let that happen and that's when I remembered the white witch, Faith. She gave me and Mercury a warning that this was going to happen. How hard is it going to be for us to get in there before that could happen? Mercury would know it's not me though, right? I laid back down and tried to mind-link Mercury again.

  “I know you have probably been drugged and knocked out, but I need you to know that we will find you and bring you back home, my love.” I said and left the link open just in case.
