Chapter 39: Chapter 39

This can't be.

My subconscious mind told me it's a dream but my eyes prove me wrong by mocking me with his face. Jacob Burns my coworker at Adams group of Co. My Jakey. My eyes unblinkingly follow his movement expecting this to be a dream that was until he touched me and the look on his face made me realise this is not the friend I know. I flinch back. Not wanting him to touch me.

"You need to calm down baby?" I flared up.

"I'm not your baby! Stop calling me that! Why are you doing this to me? Let me go please, this is not you jakey."

"I'm sorry baby. Just let me loose your hands and check on it. It looks bruised."

I kept silent as he untie my wrists looking around for any means of escape. Just as he unties the last knot soothing my bruised wrists, I quickly pushed him aside hoping I reach the door before he catch up with me. Immediately I got to the last circle made with salt and burning

candles surrounding it. I got burnt falling back into the circle giving a loud hiss at the burning sensation. My eyes trail down the affected area but I see no mark, only feeling the scorching heat within.

"I told you I can't let you go. You're mine now." slowly tears drip down my eyes, holding to my sides.

"Please Jakey. It's me, Daisy. What have i done to deserve this? Just let me go, please." I wipe my tears looking for any sign my friend may still be in there as I look straight into his eyes but all I see is darkness with a soulless body. I sobbed.

"You can't have me. I'm married to your bosses. Their mate and I can't be yours." just with a gush of wind, I was choked hanging on the wall with his hand wrapped tightly around my neck as I clawed on it. Seeking desperately for air as more tears fell from my eyes. Lord please save me.

His black eyes glared at me. My heart thump loudly in fear of what he's to do to me.

"Ja..jakey. Pl...please. stop. You're hurting me." I look at him tearily, he blinked once, twice, third...

"Baby? Baby!" he release his hold on my neck and I fell with a loud thump gasping for air hungrily on the floor coughing vehemently. I knew a large bruise will form on my neck.

"I'm so sorry baby. You know I'll never hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt you baby please believe me. Just don't get me angry. Do exactly what i say and I promise that no harm will come to you. Okay?" he crawled down to me with a deranged look and I flinch back wanting to stay far away from whoever this person is because I know my friend will never lay his hand on me or suddenly turn psycho.

"Don't do that." he snarl. And I did it again. Who in her right mind won't run away from a deranged psycho.

"Come here baby." he said and I shook my head furiously. 'Come. Here. Now. Daisy." I sniff praying for my mates to save me from this nut head. "Don't make me repeat myself again because you won't like it baby." he have a smile plastered on his face but it didn't reach his eyes. It pronounce danger than comfort. A shiver ran down my spine and I quickly look away wishing to be in the arms of my mates.

"Please can I have a glass of water. I'm parched."

He smile "Sure. Anything for my baby." looking more of my friend than the psycho few seconds ago. I fought down the shiver of disgust when he place a kiss on my cheeks. But i smile hoping that if I follow his rules, I could get his favour and buy time for my mates whom I know are worried looking for me.

I didn't know I held my breathe or how long I held it until I breathe out in relief when I was alone in the room. Silent wails echoed as I sobbed uncontrollably on the floor. Wiping my eyes and drying my face with my palms, I sniff getting up. I try once again to channel my energy and fail.

Think Daisy! Think!

The door opens with Jacob holding a glass of water. He raise the glass to my lips before caressing my face. His eyes held so much love and lust that I felt disgust looking down to the glass I gulp hungrily. To my refill I push back.

"Who are you?" I ask out of the blue.

"Don't say that to me. I'm your friend Jakey or have you forgotten already. Ever since you came into the picture those two haven't left your side for one minute. I heard you solicited for me when they were about to fire me for touching you. And I knew you love me, sacrificing your job to keep mine. Beautiful love."

Wow he's really nut or just plain old obsessed with me. Now I regret ever making that mistake to save his job. Good gone bad. The faster I think of ways to escape this circle, the quicker I escape the craziness surrounding here.

"Why did you take me and what are you?" he stood up walking to the bed as he took his seat.

"It was all for revenge but I got to know you, see you and love you. The greatest battle is to have you as my Queen, ruling beside me in our world of supernaturals. We vampires have pride and what's more great than taking the mates of the hybrids. Their pride. I'll make you mine. My Belove. For all eternity."

"I have a mate. TWO mates! I will never be your Queen."

*SLAP*

My ear rang at the resounding slap that took my face to the side. The taste of metallic copper filled my lips as I tasted my blood.

"Wow! Why can't you just do what I say? I. Am. Your. Mate." he bellowed. "Never say their names again. I love you and I'll have you."

"I'll never love you." it came out as a whisper and I knew with him being a vampire he heard me loud and clear. I touch my stingy cheeks but I won't give him the benefit of watching me cry. He doesn't deserve my tears.

"We'll see about that. Kareem! Do show our guest what we do to slaves who doesn't show their loyalty to me."

A big bulky Egyptain guy came into the room with a torture rope. I gulp meeting his evil grin indirectly telling me he's gonna so much fun with me.

"Oh God protect my child."

*

I felt pains all over my body, I've never been whipped before especially by animals who took pride in hurting women. I was chained to the roof top, dangling from side to side as the bastard whipped me like a murderer. I heard the door open seeing Jacob come in with a smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Now are you ready to listen to me." this idiot walk round my dangling form trailing his filthy hand on my body.

"What do you want from me?" I was very tired and weak, my voice came out strained.

"Everything love, everything."

"You will never have it." I raise my face to meet his, anger laced in my voice.

I receive a hard slap on my face. Tears prickled in my eyes but I refuse to beg, to submit.

"Say one more word and I'll make sure you don't use that mouth for a long excruciating time. You only speak when I tell you to speak. Do you understand baby?"

I sniff. I need my mates, I miss them so much and I'll do anything to have them in my arms.

"Yes."

"Yes what sweetheart."

"I won't demean myself to satisfy your ego." my tears fell down more as I look straight to his eyes.

"You're strong love but I'll make sure I break every will of yours piece by piece." He take a

step closer looking at my battered body in whip.

"What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?"

"Like I said, I want to have you as my bride. My Queen to reign as the new vampire King once I kill your husbands."

No no no no no. He can't kill them. I won't survive it.

"Please don't touch them, I'll marry you but let them be." I beg him.

"As touchy as it sounds, I won't take my chances with that theory. But before I kill them, I let them see you as my Queen after I break your love for them."

"'I'll never love you." I growled.

Another slap sent my mouth bleeding as I tasted the metallic sour taste of my blood. My tears rolled down watching him laugh at me. I feel so humiliated.

"At one point or the other you'll love me eventually. So have in mind we have forever to do that because soon enough I'll taste your sweet blood which after I'll drain you and turned you into my loyal subject." He smile sinisterly showing his huge fangs, I was so scared. He unchained and pushed me back to the into the circle. I cried for my mates, my baby, my kingdom and myself. I lay down thinking of ways to reach my mates.

"I will not be broken." I chant papa's word over and over again as I soon drifted off to sleep on the cold floor.

**********

"Well well well, how did your meeting with your bride go." The witch asked her master with a

crooked smile.

"Don't taste my patience witch. She got more fire than I imagined." He glared at her slumping on the chair.

"She has strong will which I accept is going to be a big problem in bending her." She went close to comfort him.

"I don't care, break her till she's has nothing else and will depend on me as her source of light." He snarled in anger crashing the lamp stand to the wall which shattered.

"She really got you wrapped around her claws." she clicks her tongue looking at the ruin lamp stand.

"Now do something to fix that, I can't have her thinking of those fools when she's to be mine."

"It won't be easy. Her grandfather thought her the mantras to keep her soul going even if her body is weak.'

"Fuck the old warlock. Use every magic you have to break her with, she needs to come to me. For fuck sake, she's just a week old sorceress do something. She has to surrender her will power." He stood up pacing the room in worry.

"The beautiful Queen is not going to make things easy for us."

"If it takes starving her, punishing her or torturing her, do it. I want her to run to me."

"I hope you don't expect her to be broken because it won't work but, I'll give her an elixir that will make her forget with time. Let's just hope her trainings didn't go far to reject things like that."

"Good good. Keep her away from any vampire. I don't want them draining her sweet blood. She's our leverage against the kingdoms aside the fact she'll soon be my bride." He smirks walking to the window overlooking the forest.

"You need to see the look on their faces when I took her. Very broken, like they're lost." She cackles at the thought which made her master grin.

"Just give them time to go beast in grief then we attack the castle and claim it all."

"You with your bride to Vampirer, and I to the witch clan and the wolf as alpha king. But that doesn't mean we can't still have our fun together. You know it's a win win situation." She hugs him from behind, he turned to give her a knowing grin with a kiss.

"I can't wait to see the look on Izbelles face when I rip her sons apart. Revenge has the sweetest taste.'

They both gave an evil laugh.

Nate's POV

"My Queen. We need to go look for them. We need to get them back before we are attacked." I said looking worried as each and everyone of us were seated in the room.

"Nathaniel I know you're worried but they're my sons and they have the strongest will to survive because of their mate and child so don't fret." My former King spoke not fazed about it.

"Daddy have you been able to locate Daisy." Jerry ask his Daisy father, shifting the topic to Daisy's whereabouts.

"Not yet son, whatever they did blocked her away from us. So I called my Father to help perform a tracking spell with us since her mates are not available." Prince Kingston groaned in anger palming his face.

"I think I know the witch who took her. Anabelle, my step sister." her mother fumed in anger.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"We have a long term score to settle and lord knows if she do anything to hurt my baby girl. I'll burn her in a stake." her face formed a permanent scowl.

"I knew there was a mole in the castle but who would have thought drizella will be the one." the queen finally spoke after a while of long thinking.

"It was obvious Aunty. She's always wanted the twins, rumors had it she killed her mate because she couldn't reject him. I just can't wait to personally get my paws on her neck." Zikky growled looking ready to kill someone.

"So lemme get this straight as the puzzle finally fits. All our foes teamed up to fight for our throne. Then what is the witch personal problem with the Queen." Jerry reasoned the obvious fact.

"Just to spite me because she think I took her so called lover, my husband from her." Aunt Ashanti scoffs.

"So the vampire and werewolf is after the Kings life because of their parents long dispute of Uncle Davon getting married to his bride and banishing the wolf for treason to overthrown him, the witch wants to kill Daisy because mum snatched Dad away from her." Jerry taps his foot absentmindedly.

We all nod.

"That's really a whole load of scores to settle but for her to take my Daisy, I'll strangle that bitch for taking my pregnant friend." He fumed.

"I need y'all to be attentive, the war is close and they think they've gotten us weak so it's up- to us to tell them who we are and no one messes with our family. I'll go look for my sons and bring them home, Prince Kingston will assist his father while the rest of us should alert our warriors for the war to come. We don't know whom their allies are and we won't take any chances." we all look at each other nodding in agreement. 'For the thrones!'

We all chanted. "For the thrones!"

Twin's Father pov

I know my sons are in grief but it's time they wake up and find their mate before I lose all of them. I followed their scents into the forest which directed me to the water fall I never thought I'll see again.

Where I mated Izbelle

Memories came flooding through my mind of how we always snuck out and met here for our rendezvous. I shifted back to my human form, making cackling noises with tree trunks and falling branches to alert their hybrids I come in peace. It's more harder to tame their beast than their human. If they heard me, they didn't react to my movements until I came straight at the edge of the trees facing the waterfall. There my sons were. Dimitri lay on his paws looking at the sparkling water and Darius sat up beside his brother alert to protect him looking at the water. I sighed.

"Darius... Dimitri" They both snap their heads to me ready to attack as they assess if I'm a threat to them but after some seconds they look back ahead. I sigh.

This is going to be a long day.

I took my stand in front of my boys looking at the rocks where the water fell.

"I never knew I'll see this place again." no reaction and I continued.

"Your mother and I use to come here centuries ago when our clans hated each other after we found out we are mates." I took some steps to stand in between them, Darius eyes follows my movement.

"This was our secret hideout, our safe zone from our people because we were prohibited from seeing each other back then." I touch them affectionately as they snuggled closer to me.

"You know, I always hated the vampires. Their pale skin and bloody eyes with stupid lust for blood. But, the day I met your mother, I knew I'll kill for her. I will even turn a vampire just to be with her. Right in front of everyone at the party, the Werewolf Prince kisses the Vampire Princess. My very own dramatic entrance." I chuckled at the memory. I heard the snort telling me the also chuckle.

"A council meeting was held for us, we broke record you know. Crazy, handsome and sexy werewolf Prince Davon find his mate in no other than the vampire realm during the one night all supernaturals gather to celebrate a new dawn. It was epic." I stated proudly which made them snort again, their snort made me chuckle.

"But trust your old man, I was as stubborn as hulk. I snuck every night to see her here, we would watch the stars together, profess our love under the moon and to the night. Your mum was my ride or die woman and will always be forever." I notice their chin push up a little showing their huge fangs.

"We both knew our union won't be accepted by our people, so one night your mum ask me to mark her and she will do the same for me." I touch my neck fondly looking at the spot we did it.

"It caused great commotion in the two kingdoms after we did it. I was locked away and so was she, days turned to weeks and I was getting this feeling of been torn into two. I was punished, tortured by my father with wolfsbane everyday to elude her daunted blood from my system according to him. I ensured it for her that I won't be broken, I will do anything to keep her safe and have her once again in my arms forever." They sniffed.

"Then her heat came, I could smell it from far inside my cell. She cried to me daily for help but I couldn't help her, I was angry and bittered. That was when I heard she was to marry their Duke son thanks to my loyal beta the coming week. I thought in my cell, this bastard wants to have what's mine, Never! I made a ploy, calculating every move of my guard and when they came to sedate me until I hatched my plan. That faithful night as all went to vampirir for the grand wedding, I tackle my guards and ran away. I couldn't go to their castle or had allies with their people, so I came here looking at the water as it falls. For the first time in my life, I felt the knowledge of losing someone you Love. I wailed her name, calling for her to come to me." I felt that pain again after all this years.

"It didn't take long as she zap in her white sheer lace gown, adorned for her wedding and coronation. Trust me by the looks of it, she snapped many heads out of their necks to get to me when I saw blood. She was one fine ass feisty Princess whom you really don't want to mess with. Her cloth was stained and some parts ripped, her hair disheveled but to me she was very beautiful, the most beautiful woman fighting to come to her mate. With tears brimming down her face, she came forward and gave me a sound cackling slap that echoed that night. Damn, your mother is a hell of a feisty woman when she's mad. You know what she said when she gripped my battered cloth on the collar. "I own you Davon and you have no right to let me go so man up and take what's yours." I growled as she kept slapping me hard on the face. I was like damn woman, do you know how hard it is for me." I said with humour and that made them grin.

"They full moon was at it's peak that night, I felt anew. My strength came back to me. Within a twinkle of a eye I shred her clothes away, mated with her to the witness of the moon goddess right here and that's how we formed you both." I pointed to where we stood as they look gobsmacked.

"I know you miss her but it's time to take charge and show them you're not weaklings. You mum and I didn't form a weakling, so stand up fight for your mate and your child before it's too late." Immediately they started shifting back to their birthing suits.

"Dad it's so hard. She was taken right in front of us and we couldn't do anything." Damian

said as tears brimmed in his eyes.

"How disappointed she will feel seeing the almighty hybrids running away from their problems." I click my tongue smacking his head.

"We can't do anything Dad. We can't sense her or trace her. She just disappeared, so we came here to find peace especially as we mated her here in our hybrids." I smack Damon head also, although not so surprised this is also where their hybrids mated her. Like father, Like Sons.

"Talk for cowards. I will ask you one question. Do you love her?" I stood straight looking at them.

"Yes we do."

"You don't love someone and watch her life drift away. You don't love someone and watch her be taken from you. You don't love someone and go running away. That's the fools way out, the humans way out. Now suck it up your ass and bring her home and mind you, if I don't see my grandkids and my daughter in-law before something bad happens , you won't like what I'll do to you both." I walked away after barking my command in my alpha voice.

"Yes Father." they both said looking more determined.

"Good. Now let's go and prepare for war. No one messes with our family or the throne. Let's give them a taste of our bloodlines those bastards will never forget."

We all shifted and ran back to the castle.

I've got my sons back.

Back in the castle

"So that witch took my granddaughter and I'm just hearing this now!" The warlock breaths out in anger facing them. Will it be dramatic to say fumes came out of his ears.

"Father please calm down." prince Kingston tries to calm his spirit.

"If anything happens to my grandchild and great grand baby, you both will have me to contend with." The warlock pointed to the Kings who sat solemnly looking disappointed at themselves as their heads hung low in shame.

"We need your help to track her since it's been difficult for our hybrids this past few days, but all is settled now." Damon spoke in authority assuring the old man they're back from grief.

"You both are the closest thing she'll reach out to but I can sense she's very weak." He sat down signaling them to come forward.

"Is the baby fine?" Damian's voice panicked.

"Don't worry about it, I cloaked the baby's scent so they can't detect it and remove the child."The warlock smiles with a hint of amusement.

Everyone in the room seems a little bit less tensed taking a breather especially the twins.

"What can we do to find her?" They sat opposite him waiting for instructions.

"I need you to clear your minds of every other thing. Just reach out for her because i'm sure she's calling for you. Open your minds and sniff out your mate. I'll put you both in a trance, try not to get lost or distracted. This is our only chance and you're her only hope as her mates and strong bond." The twins held their hands together creating the link to find their mate, Daisy's papa chanting some words while the others watch in anticipation hoping they find her. After close to thirty minutes, they had a gasp from the twins fuming in anger.

"That fucker will die by our hands." the seethe in anger.

Daisy pov

Every day was the same, starved, tortured and sedated. I needed to get pass this barrier, I have to reach out to my mates so they can find me. With the little energy I have left, I put all in calling them through my energy. Reciting all Papa taught me, I paved way to reach my boys, although it wasn't strong enough to hold for long.

"Kitten. Oh Lord, what did they do to you?" Hearing their voice once again brought tears of longing to my eyes. I cried as they held me in a tight embrace, I felt water falling on my hair and it was then I realised my boys were crying. My heart broke.

"Our baby, can you still hear the baby's heartbeat." I pull away placing their hands on my stomach.

"Princess the baby is fine. Your granddad said he cloaked our baby." A sigh of relief wash through me when I heard Damon's words as he kissed my chin.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I am scared." I swallowed back my sobs. 'You both look hideous." I crack a sad smile looking at their pale faces.

Damian scoffs kissing my temple which cause me to chuckle. "Yeah. If that's how you say I miss you then we miss you too."

"The barrier won't last long. I love you both so much but you have to find me."

"I think the witch cloaked your scents so it's kinda difficult and i'm sorry it's taking us this long to search for you."

"We kinda lost it when you got taken, wallowing in our grief instead of searching for you. I'm sorry." Damian hide his face from me in shame. I would have enjoyed this in a more friendly

situation but there's time for everything.

"I'll settle that matter when i'm back but for now I can't hold it against you. They're planning to take over the thrones. The vampire has a witch backing him up and he wants to take me away from you." I cracked up at the end.

"Kitten who's the person? Show me their faces?" My teary eyes looked at them, fear registered on their faces hearing what I said.

I touch their temples giving them images of the past week. Soon I felt myself fading in their grasp.

"Kitten! Kitten! Don't leave us!" I heard them calling me back but it was too late.

I made sure to give the last details of the vampire before I was completely faded.

"I love you both. Stay strong and Find me."

I was woken up with this ice piercing water, it felt like tiny icicles were inside the bucket of water splashed at me.

"Her Royal Majesty, Queen Daisy Adams." I recognized the witch who brought me here.

"Cat got your tongue or what?"

"Well not really. Just that looking at the face of the woman that killed her family that is my aunt is such an eyesore." I glared at her.

"So tell me? How's your witch of a mother?" her red stained lips tsk.

"What has my mother got to do with you witch?" I gave her a bored look.

"Everything you know. You really need to respect your mother's sister cause with the tone of that voice I won't hesitate to discipline you."

"You can't hurt me. Orders from almighty boss remember."

Her face formed a permanent scowl and I almost laughed at the ugliness of it.

"It's official that all of you here have definitely gotten the cookoo virus. Now tell me, what's you story?"

"What do you mean by story?" I gave her a 'Are you stupid look or just plain dumb' and she still didn't understand.

"Well the vampire, my friend, sorry ex friend Jacob is crazy obsessed with me being his mate to get at my husbands and their parents which I'll rather die than let him touch me. The bitch of a wolf wants to kill me and have my Mates, that one got me cracking up. So it's just you and the wolf man that i'm yet to hear your plot of revenge." I sat crisscross tapping my temple as if thinking as I continued. "Although I think I have an idea but just for fun of it.

Shoot your shot."

"You have a smart mouth."

"Thank you, mum thought me not be stupid you know." I fan my face to spite her more watching her scowl deepen that she quickly change with a fake smile.

"Time for some interesting story. Don't worry I'll make it easier for you."

"Good because I was about calling the guards for earplugs." I say looking at her with an sweet smile.

I listen to her spew lies and I just had to stop her at some point.

With a laugh. "You know you're funny right. Lemme get this straight before I end up thinking like the train of cookoos here." she folds her arms annoyingly and I just cackled more.

"My mum was taken in by your parents and trained as their own. The grew to love her because of her kind heart and you got jealous of her all through your adolescent days. Unluckily for you, she met the prince who fell in love with her instead of you. That got you jealous for you to kill your parent after they tried to change your heart to good. Seeing your sister as the witch Queen drove you to rage because you've always hated her. Then when you found out my mum become pregnant, you tried to seduce my dad which obviously wouldn't work as he saw the demon in you. Since it didn't work out as planned, you decided to cause an uprising among the clans leaders which eventually led to them dying only that the didn't die but actually fake their deaths to save me." I grin pacing around the circle.

"You know for a witch, I think, sorry scratch that. I know you're stupid to believe a warlock will let his pregnant Queen die and run off to marry you. Lemme guess Papa have been looking for ways to catch you and make you pay for driving his family away from his land. I really can't wait to PERSONALLY hand you to him."

"For an aunt..."

*slap*

"Never ever you call me aunt again, you hear me. I am not your aunt and will never be." I growled fuming.

"Guess what? I have killed my family and you're nothing close to family. My master just need a puppet to do his bidding and who am I not to grant his request."

Immediately she chanted spells as I fell to my knees writhing in pains.

I screamed and screamed fighting the pains she inflicts on me. Hearing her laugh as she enjoys my cries of pains. But one thing was on my mind.

Damon. Damian.
