When | woke, | was drowsy. My head hurt and my mouth was dry. Sitting up | blinked a few times before
realisation kicked in. I had been taken; someone had grabbedin the woods. Lana, she was there. She did
this, she helped them take me.
| jumped from the bed looking around myself. | wasn't tied up; my hands weren't bound. | didn't understand what
was going on. | ran my fingers over my arm, | remember the pain | felt. Was | drugged?
| glanced around the room smore my eyes landing on a photo that was sitting on the bedside drawers. |
swallowed the lump in my throat. It was a picture of my mom. Where the hell was I?
| jumped when there was a knock on the door before a girl around my age maybe younger poked her head
inside". "Hi". She smiled.
"Hi". | frowned.
"Don't look so scared Leah we're not going to hurt you". As she walked further into the room | took a few steps
back.
I didn't know this girl therefore my guard was up. They took me, they tookfrom my home, my family. They
tookfrom Jake.
Oh god Jake. He would be going out of his mind. Worried sick because | wasn't home. He didn't even know | had
gone for a run. "Are you hungry?". She asked.
"Where am 17". | asked.

The pack house? Whose pack house?
"Who are you?".
"I'm Grace your cousin".
My cousin?
My heart was hammering in my chest. | had more cousins? It was one thing after another, and it just kept
coming.
"Why was | kidnapped?". | asked.
A laugh fell from her lips. "You weren't kidnapped Leah. Your dad didn't think you'd have con your own, so
we improvised. Sorry if we scared you".
"You placed a sack over my head and drugged me". | frowned. "What would you call it?".
"Fair enough". She sighed. "But we mean no harm".
"And Pete what did you do to Pete?". Lana was pulled into this. They forced her to help.
"He's fine". She shrugged. "Lana did her part".
"I have to go home. Jake will be wondering where | am". This was my father's doing. He did this because he
thought | wouldn't chere? | planned to visit, and he shutdown, cut contact and | haven't heard from him
since. ""Do you want slunch?". She asked.
"If you mean no harm you'll let me, go home". | spoke.
"Okay". She nodded. "But you have to go out the way you cin. We're a little paranoid about letting people
know our location".
What?
| made a face. "You're kidding right?".
"Course". She winked. "If you want to leave then you're free to do so but if you want to get to know your family
then stay a little longer. You're safe here | promise".
Family? | didn't have any family. My mom was dead, my dad abandonedand well the only family | had left
got rid oftoo.
Jake was my family, and I'd like to get back to him.
"No, I'd like to leave please". If this was his attempt at a family reunion it sucked. How he thought | would be
okay with this is beyond me.
"Fair enough". She shrugged. "I'll have someone drive you home".
""No, I can walk".

"It's a 2-hour drive". She spoke.

"He cutoff. | was willing to visit, and he put it off so that's on him but this, this is crazy. He took an Alpha's
