\u2018Listen to me, man. Listen.\u201d Orion\u2019s voice became stronger, more commanding. \u201cIt\u2019s not your fault, and nothing is going to happen to her. She\u2019s a fighter, and you know it. Just wait for me. I\u2019ll be there in the next ten minutes. Don\u2019t do anything stupid. Just wait for me. We\u2019ll figure this out together\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said the last part with emphasis, like he wanted to make sure I understood he meant it. I nodded, then remembered he couldn\u2019t see me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew he was waiting for me to respond, so I forced myself to speak. \u201cAlright, man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. I\u2019m on my way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Tristan said Athena was missing, everything else in the world stopped mattering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was already out of bed before he finished speaking, my hands shaking as I reached for the first clothes I could find.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew I shouldn\u2019t have said what I said because I know Tristan, he\u2019d start blaming and eating himself up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Athena isn\u2019t a child of course Tristan can\u2019t take her everywhere he goes, but it still didn\u2019t help the way I was feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this isn\u2019t a time to let our emotions cloud our judgment, we need to stay focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But my hands still shook on its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was sitting up in bed, her eyes wide with concern as she watched me frantically pull on jeans and a shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d she whispered, not wanting to wake Lily and Liam in the next room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAthena\u2019s been taken,\u201d I said, my voice coming out rougher than I intended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah\u2019s face went pale. \u201cTaken? By who?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We don\u2019t know yet. Tristan left her alone to deal with some pack business, and when he got back, she was gone. Signs of a struggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was already grabbing my keys and heading for the door, but Sarah caught my arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Be careful,\u201d she said, pulling me down for a quick, desperate kiss. Bring her home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will,\u201d I promised, though my heart was hammering with fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hardly ever used my motorcycle anymore, not since the kids were born and I\u2019d become more cautious about taking unnecessary risks. But tonight was different. Tonight was an emergency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bike roared to life under me,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and I pushed it harder than I\u2019d pushed anything in years. The streets were empty at this hour, which was good because I wasn\u2019t paying attention to speed limits or traffic signs. All I could think about was getting to Athena\u2019s apartment and figuring out what had happened to my\u00a0<\/p>\n
little sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sat,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 157\u00a0<\/p>\n
71\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ride that usually took twenty minutes took me eight. I parked the bike outside her building, my heart pounding with a mixture of adrenaline and terror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take up to ten minutes before Orion arrived. I could hear his motorcycle roaring up the street before he even parked, and I knew he must have\u00a0<\/p>\n
driven like a man possessed to get here so quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He entered the apartment immediately and walked straight to me, placing a firm hand on my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me everything I need to know,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I told him how I\u2019d gotten the call about Seraphine, how I\u2019d asked Athena to come with me but she\u2019d refused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How I\u2019d found the apartment unlocked, the signs of struggle, her broken phone on the kitchen floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He listened attentively, his jaw getting tighter with each detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I told him about Derek\u2019s call being the last one on her phone, he asked me to call Derek immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pulled out my phone and dialed Derek\u2019s number, praying he would answer and have some explanation for what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then I heard something that made my blood turn to ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Derek phone was ringing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion and I looked at each other, the same terrible realization dawning on both our faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy am I hearing Derek\u2019s phone ring?\u201d I whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
