Chapter 116
I shake my head at her words before hugging her tightly. My chest rumbles with a snarl when I feel how thin she has become, of course the bastards aren't feeding her right. I admire my mate for being so strong and hanging in there, I can only assume how terrifying it would be for a human knowing that their blood is a vampire's life source.
"Have they done anything else to you besides this?"
"No, they haven't bit me or drank my blood. They keep threatening me and the guards scared me so bad once that I actually thought it was the end for me, but they claimed they were only having some fun. Sick, twisted minds." She mutters, making my blood boil in fury.
"I'll show them what fear really is when I hunt these bastards down." I growl furiously, wanting to rip them from limb to limb.
"Is the pack okay?" She asks in a worried tone.
"A few serious injuries but other than that everyone is fine."
Amanda opens her mouth to reply but frowns, shaking her head slightly. I see her form fading and whine sadly, pulling her close and pressing my lips to hers, softly.
"They're waking you up. Don't let on that you know of my ability or that I am coming for you. I love you, my light. I'll find you soon." I whisper against her lips, feeling her form slouch in sadness.
"I don't want to go, I want to stay here with you. Gabriel...please."
"I'm sorry, baby. It doesn't work that way." I press a kiss each to her wrists, below the wounded skin and praying to the Moon Goddess to heal her. "Tell me you love me, say it back. I need to hear it to go on, baby. Goddess only knows how much I'm dying without you by my side."
She smiles, shaking her head making her wild hair move enticingly, my fingers itching to play with the strands. "You don't ever have to ask. I love you Gabriel, forever."
And with that she fades completely and I'm brought out of the dream, waking up to find the morning sun's rays streaming down on the tent.
After having breakfast, I gather everyone around me. We are all fully rested and fed, having regained our energy for this last run to the finish line. I can't wait to have my beautiful mate back in my arms where she will stay, she won't leave me ever again nor will anyone take her from me. I look at the numerous pairs of eyes staring back at me, expectantly. Their expressions turn to complete shock when they see me grin slightly.
"She's in Texas. Get your things together, we will set off immediately and search that territory."
Everyone cheers in delight, rushing off to grab the essentials as Chris, Kaden and Ryan all walk up to me with relieved yet confused expressions. Save for Ryan because he already knows of my ability. I chuckle at their faces, knowing they must be wondering how I figured out that Amanda is in Texas.
"I have the ability to dream walk through people's minds when they are asleep. Every vampire is given a unique gift and since I'm a hybrid whose other beast is a vampire; my gift is this."
"We should have known I guess." Chris chuckles, Kaden shaking his head in amusement beside them.
I nod, gesturing for them to start gathering their things so we can set off. After grabbing the essentials and tents, we throw them in the car that has been following along, filled with food and supplies. Ryan has called ahead and arranged for guards to drive a number of cars down for us as I know our men are tired and we will all appreciate the time to rest up before we attack.
We meet back at the clearing and I debrief them on what exactly will happen and our plan of action. Everyone listens carefully as Chris and I discuss our best options of entering the territory without alerting the vampires. If they find out about our arrival, then I fear to think of what they'll do to my mate. There is no way I will ever jeopardize her safety.
There are only a few places they would have taken her and our best bet is in crowded place, the number one area being Austin, Texas. We decide to search there first and then move on to the other areas. After confirming our plan from everyone and making sure they know it inside out, I nod in approval.
"It's going to take us about two hours at least to reach the border of Texas, we can stop and rest up since it will be nightfall around that time."
"Wait, what?!" Chris objects, anger in his eyes as he turns to me. "We can't rest. I want her back by tonight!"
"I thought that too but Amanda told me to wait until morning when the sun is up so they have nowhere to run. As far as I know, there is no vampire that has immunity in Andrei's clan. We attack in the afternoon when the sun will be at its highest." I reply, easing his worries as I can see that the time of attack makes sense to him now. "Alright men, let's head out."
Just before I shift into my beast, Chris comes up to my side making me glance at him expectantly. "Is she alright?"
I sigh heavily, shaking my head making his baby blue eyes burn bright in anger. "They aren't feeding her properly, she's got bruises and wounds. We need to find her before they do any more damage."
He growls ferociously before nodding, using his ability to speed away and catch up with the rest of the group. I follow suit and together we make our way to the front, overtaking Ryan and Kaden who had been leading the group.
I'm coming for you, Amanda, I think mentally, promising myself that I will not go back to our home without her in my arms.
It's time to bring my mate back home.
