Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 40

I ran back into the pool house and started stomping on the floor.

"What are you doing?" Shawn questioned. I continued to hit the floor. I hit a spot under a rug and heard a clank.

I kicked the rug and saw a wooden door. "Found it!" I exclaimed. I pulled open the door and climbed down the ladder. Shawn followed me down and we walked through a narrow hallway. There was only one door at the very end.

"She's here" Shawn commented. I kicked the door down to reveal another room of cages. There was a man standing in front of a cell.

"Eve!" Shawn yelled. I followed his line of vision and saw my mate laying on a bed.

I found keys on the wall and I quickly grabbed them. I unlocked the cell and used my shirt to cover my hand while opening the door.

"Hey Shawn" Eve greeted him while sitting up in the bed.

"Are you okay?" Shawn asked while walking into the cell.

"Just peachy" she replied. "That's Jacobs" she pointed to the man behind me.

I turned around and pushed him backwards so he hit a cell. The silver bars burned him. I quickly walked over to him and lifted him off the ground.

"Don't kill him" Eve demanded.

"What?" Shawn and I blurted in unison. He kidnapped her and now she said not to kill him?! These people brainwashed him.

"We need him. He'll explain it later" Eve said while walking out the cell. "Now, where's the doctor?" she asked.

I scoffed. "He doesn't need a doctor. I barely burned him" I stated.

Eve rolled her eyes at me and turned to Shawn. "I need to see a doctor"

I dropped Jacobs and walked towards Eve. I searched her body for any injuries. "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?" I asked.

She pushed my hands off of her and slightly shoved me away. "Can you take me to a doctor?" she asked Shawn.

"Sure. Let's go" Shawn walked past her and led her to the door while glancing back at me..

"Can you walk any slower?!" Eve exclaimed.

Shawn sped up and they disappeared out the door. I stared at the door in shock. Why is she acting like this? I must've said it out loud because Jacobs spoke. "She turned off her emotions"

"He took Jordyn!" Ryan yelled.

"How?" I asked. Jordyn was back at the castle. She was supposed to be safe with the guards that we assigned to protect her and Elise. "What about Elise?"

Jacobs rolled his eyes. "The baby is fine. I can't say the same about the guards that you left"

"Where is my mate?!" Ryan roared.

Jacobs tsked Ryan and shook his head. "You should be nicer to the man who has your mate's life in his hands" he mused.

Ryan took deep breaths to calm himself. He was about to say something, but Jacobs spoke. "Please leave. I would like to speak to Alpha Reed" he said in a professional tone. Ryan gave me a questioning glance. I shrugged and looked at Jacobs.

"Alpha Hayes" Jacobs said and motioned to the door. Ryan let out a low growl and stormed out the room. The things Alphas do for their mates.

"Why do you want to speak to me?" I voiced my thoughts. I wasn't worried about him hurting me. For some reason, he didn't want to. We only spoke a few sentences, but he let off this vibe that he didn't want to hurt me. He was sympathetic. It was almost like he wanted to help me.

"Its about Eve" he started. "She probably won't tell you this because she hates you. But you need to know" he said softly.
