CHAPTER ELEVEN

MALACHI’s POV.
I wake up feeling a bit uneasy and I don’t know why. Nothing seems to be the problem, the pack house back in Texas is okay. My little brother is fine and everything at work is pretty good so I genuinely do not know why it feels like something is wrong but i can not place it.
I have been angry for a while now, seeing that her husband is back and she seems so happy with him. It’s not like I want her to be sad but I don’t just know why the moon goddess is trying to mess with me in this way.
My phone vibrates and Bryer’s name pops up.
We haven’t spoken in a week and I was enjoying my peace and quiet.
Clenching my jaw together, I finally pick up my phone.
“Hello”
“If I don’t call you, you won’t call me Malachi” she says from the other end.
“I have been really busy,” I tell her.
“How am i supposed to know that when you wont even let me into your mind”
“Why did you call?”
“Let's have dinner together, Malachi” she suggests again,
“I am coming back to town today and I really like to see you, I have really missed you. We should also talk about your mark and mate ceremony babe, I am really tired of waiting”
My thoughts drifts off to Odette and how her lips felt on mine.
“f**k!!” I mutter under my breath, closing my eyes for a moment.
“Let’s have that dinner tomorrow, Bryer” I tell her, “today I is not really a good day for me”
Not waiting for her response, I end the call almost immediately close my eyes.
Fuck, I want to see her but she’s not even in town. The last time I spoke to her brother, she left with her husband.
The thought of that man makes my wolf boil in anger.
“Malachi” I hear her voice and I jolt out of my thoughts, I look around me but she is nowhere to be found which makes me more confused.
“I am in your head” her voice comes again, “please, I need your help”
Her voice comes like a plea, like she is begging me to come for her.
“Odette?”
But no answer again, I call onto her a few more times but she still does not answer.
“f**k this!!”
Pulling my body out of the chair, I grab my BMW keys before rushing out of the house. I didn’t have her brother’s number so I had to go to the company.
Luckily it’s just a few minutes drive and by the time I get there, Jayden is about to leave”
“Hey Jayden” I walk up to him.
“Malachi, I wasn’t expecting you”
“Where did odette go?”
“What do you mean?” He looks a bit confused, “why are you asking about my sister?”
“I just want to know man”
“She….” His voice trails off, “are you hitting on her?”
“I have a business with her and she’s not picking her calls”
I have called a million times on my way here but she isn’t answering her phone.
“You do know she is with her husband right?”
I clench my jaw together, the f**k is he doing?
“I know that” I grit, “can you tell me?”
“She is in North Carolina”
Oh, I didn’t expect that. I know her husband’s pack is there but I didn’t expect that the two of them were there.
“Where exactly in North Carolina?”
“I do not know man, he hasn’t told me anything about his pack yet”
“Okay, thanks”
Not waiting for his response, I turn around and head towards my car, dialing my assistant’s number in the process.
“Hello sir” her voice filters through.
“Get my jet ready for North Carolina”
“Okay sir”
I don’t know why she reached out to me but I would rather she is safe than anything else.
With that at the back of my head, I zoom off towards the airport.
I don’t even bother going home to change from my joggers and hoodie and as soon as I get to the airport, we fly.
I try connecting with her again but it’s just so faint, I can hardly even feel her presence and it can only mean one thing, she is in danger.
The moment we land, a black Audi is already waiting for me and I tell my driver to go to the intelligence agency. Luckily I know a few people and I am hoping to be able to get her location. Every moment is important, I don't even know the kind of danger she is in and why the hell is her husband not there?
“Good morning sir” the head of the agency greets me as soon as I enter his office.
“Do you have the location?” I ask him.
“Yeah” he pulls his system close to me, “but it’s a bit tricky, it’s in a f*****g forest and…
“Where is this forest?” I immediately cut him off, I think I know what’s going on here. If she is in the pack house, then why the heck is she reaching out to me?”
“Pisgah national forest” he answers.
Why the heck is the pack house located in a f*****g forest though?
“Thank you” I tell him and make to go out but he stops me.
“Do you need backup?”
“Not at all”
Not waiting for his response, I rush out of the office and in no time, my audi zooms out of the premises again.
“f**k!!” I hiss under my breath, still unable to get to her, “step on it” I yell at the driver and he gathers speed.
Half an hour later, he brings the car to a halt near the road.
“This is where the GPS stops sir”
“Good, wait for me here”
I rush out of the car and into the forest. Closing my eyes, I let my wolf sense take over and I can feel my kind from a reasonable distance and I run off.
After navigating through the forest for a while, I finally come to the pack house, some wolf guards are standing outside the gates and seeing me, a frown appears on their faces.
“You are not one of us,” one of them says.
“Hmm” I nod, “I am here to see Odette”
“Who the hell is that?”
“Your Luna”
“First off, we don’t have a Luna by that name so f**k off”
My wolf growls inside of me, I immediately grab his neck and sink my claw into his neck. The other comes at me and I kick him hard in the groin, sending him crashing against the wall and his f*****g head cracks open.
As soon as I open the gate and enter, I start to feel her presence again.
“Odette?”
“Malachi” her voice comes in my head again.
“Where are you?”
“Come soon, please”
Clenching my jaw together, I start for the main house. Luckily it is a bit scanty and I manage to walk past some of them without them knowing. How pathetic, not recognizing a totally different wolf from them.
The more I walk, the more her presence becomes stronger and I can feel for sure that something is definitely wrong somewhere, she sounds weak.
“In the dungeon” her voice comes again and for a
moment, I freeze. What the heck is she doing in the dungeon?”
“Where the hell is that?”
“Eastern wing”
Biting down on my lips lightly, I turn around and rush towards the dungeon and to my suprise, there is no one guarding it.
Holding onto the locks, I rip it off and as soon as I enter, I freeze.
She is tied to a chair and she looks like she has been beaten up. My eyes darken at the thought of that, who dared to touch her and beat her up?”
“Odette?” I rush towards her and she opens her eyes lightly, a small smile creeps up on her face.
“You came?” She whispers.
“Of course i did”
“Thank you” she mutters again before closing her eyes and losing consciousness.
