A Possessive Mate novel Chapter 23

"I don't know," I looked at him with a what-the-fück expression. "She's gone."

Harper's POV

I couldn't see anything. My pretty dress was ruined, it was dirty and torn up. I was scared, my legs were shaking, and all I wanted was to go back home.

A door to the side opened and I looked up to see a big man walk over to me, smiling. He made me feel sad. I just wanted my mommy and daddy.

Nate's POV

A loud knock came from the doors, and Kurt burst through. Sera was in my arms, and we were sleeping, but once Kurt walked in, I immediately stood up. I knew something was wrong.

"Harper," Kurt was breathing heavily, and his large hands were shaking. "She's gone. Jack took her." My eyes widened at his words.

"Did he call you?" I pulled on a shirt that was hanging on the side.

"No," he ran a hand through his hair. "I just know."

"Call a meeting, we have to get her as soon as we can."

"Of course." And with that, he ran out of the room to go gather the warriors and our strategists.

"Harper's missing?" I looked down to see Sera opening her eyes, her body still covered in blankets. I hated to see her this worried. It killed me.

"Yes, but we'll get her back."

"Will you be okay?" she wrapped her hand around my wrist, and pushed herself up to her knees.

"Sleep baby-poo," I ran a hand through her hair and kissed her on her forehead. "This will all be better in the morning."

Sera's POV

I waited until Nate walked out of the room until I got out of the bed and put on fighting gear. Bullcrap I would stay in this room and sleep. Once I finished dressing, I sneaked out and went to Amanda's room. As I opened her door, I could hear her crying.

"Amanda," I walked inside to see her with tissues surrounding her.

"Oh hey," she wiped away her tears, and sniffled.

"How are you?"

"Honestly," she looked down at all the tissues on the floor. "Bad, I'm missing my princess."

"Don't worry," I opened a dresser to the side to look for some gear for her. After I found some, I tossed the clothes to her. "We're fighting too."

"Really?" Amanda started to get out of the bed. "They'll never let us."

"Liam too," my words made everyone pause to look at me.

"Liam?" Nate asked. "I thought you were friends."

"He was friends with Derek," I had thought over this while I was in the shower. "Derek tried to kill me, whose to say that Liam isn't working with them."

"Right," a warrior snapped their fingers in realization. "We have to keep an eye on him."

"Okay," after ten minutes of more planning, Nate stood up. "We're ready, remember the plans, and if you see Jack or Liam, kill on sight, we have no idea what they're planning."

"Yes alpha," everyone bowed down in sync, and headed to the weapons room. But once Amanda and I headed for the door, we were pulled back by our mates.

"You actually want to go?" Nate looked into my eyes intently.

"Yes, I need to do this."

"Okay baby-poo," he kissed my forehead. "Let's go."

Sera's POV

We were sneaking into Jack's place through the surrounding woods, and let me tell you, I felt pretty cool. All of us were dressed in sleek black clothes, and had weapons hidden on our bodies. Nate had reluctantly given me a gun, and I was nervous to use it. I had never killed anyone, but I would to protect the pack.
