Heavy Heart
Sabrina's POV
Apparently, everything we did to catch the couple fell on deaf ears, and we were told that they never made it to the border towards their pack so they are still here.
And that meant danger. It meant even more danger when guards alerted us that my mom passed through the border but somehow disappeared and became untraceable.
The most danger came when Marcus called Kyle himself, telling him that he held my mother hostage. When Kyle told him that his wife, Laura, will never forget him, he handed her the phone.
She was there and yes, she kidnapped her own mother with her husband, the same husband that almost beat her to death.
Kyle told me not to panic but it was impossible. We were woken up by the phone call actually but he put it to his ear, so I heard nothing until he told me.
“Sabrina, don't panic, but we weren't able to get them, and now they have your mom.” He said carefully, and at first I wasn't following. I was rather confused.
“Who, what are you talking about?”
“Laura and Marcus. They lured your mother and kidnapped her. They said to call in the next five minutes, so I'll know what they want.”
“No, she wants nothing but to cause me pain. I'm sure she doesn't have my mom. Can't you see she just wants to rile us up now we are happy again? Why is she so hard to catch?”
I shook my head dramatically, refusing to believe his words. I watched my mom leave, she wasn't here. It wasn't possible. It wasn't-
Kyle's phone buzzed, and he opened the message. Video evidence of my mother's caption. Brick walls, location unknown.
We weren't going to bother tracing it because I knew my sister definitely wasn't stupid to leave traces through this route, that's why she had the audacity to reach Kyle's phone herself with Marcus, even while under his pack.
My mother looked helpless, our mother, her biological mother that she was supposed to protect. She was going to use her against me because now she knew our bond? If she doesn't get nipped, she'll terrify me forever.
Truly, she was ruthless and replaced her heart with stone. Marcus's motive? To rile up Kyle for taking me back, even though he clearly rejected me. I couldn't believe I was once in love with such a monster of a man.
My crazy sister took a selfie with our mom and sent it next. She even threw in a peace sign. A true psychopath.
I just shook my head, really hurt. I was way past anger. I just felt sorry for her. She had completely lost it.
I just kept staring at the selfie. It was of ill intent but there was something there.
She was so beautiful, people would mistake us for twins, but somewhere along the line she stopped being a flower and grew into a gigantic thorn.
Now we knew that my mother was in danger, and we had no idea where she was. To be fair, they were both Alpha and Luna, and that's why they have been pretty hard to catch, their special abilities, but they wouldn't get so far this time, not in another alpha's pack.
I tried to calm down and it worked, so we could think of our next course of action. Normally we would scramble out of bed and start panicking, but Kyle gave me a suitable idea. To get back to sleep, so I laid on his chest and dozed off. We both needed the energy to deal with them in the morning.
They kidnapped her for attention so until we were ready to give them, they got nothing from us. Kyle had a hard time convincing me but when it began to make sense, I listened and we both slept soundly.
Next morning came, and apparently, things had managed to get worse. If I thought my sister still had a conscience, she had successfully proved me wrong.
At first, she sent us an erotic sextape of her and Marcus having sex naked. In front of my mother! No way I let Kyle watch but her moans were so disgusting, I wondered how my mom handled everything live. I was filled with immediate disgust, so I deleted the video.
I saw more. Pictures of my name, my kids, my husband's names written on the wall in red, blood. She showed me a syringe, splashes of blood, all extracted from my mother. It made me sick to my stomach that she was doing this to get to me. I began to panic, like really panic. I almost sent her a text back but Kyle snatched the phone away.
“This is what she wanted, please let's wait a bit!” He yelled.
“My mom! Look what she's doing to her! I can't rest! I can't not panic, Kyle. Imagine the pain she must be going through!”
My heart hurt, and there was nothing Kyle didn't do to make me calm down, or stop tears from rolling down my cheeks. If only I didn't show her how important Mom had suddenly become to me, she would've never done such a thing to her own mother. It was my own fault! I caused all this! It hit me hard and deep.
Just then another set of pictures and videos came in, but this time, they were different, from a zero to a complete, solid hundred.
She had a bomb strapped around my mother. She was going to blow her up? I thought I would faint, but just then she sent us another one.
This time around, she asked me to come alone first. She showed me the bombs she had set around the building and the remote in her hands.
She didn't mind blowing herself up and if she did, it would automatically blow my mother up too. She claimed she didn't mind dying, so I couldn't make any strategic moves or bring guards with me.
Now we were at crossroads and I became so physically exhausted, I just stayed cooped up in Kyle's arms for a while.
A while later, she sent us another text.
“Time is ticking. I've set it off. If I were you I would start coming, Sabrina.”
She sent a text to his phone, but it was directed at me. I felt the shivers instantly.
She sent her live location of where she was. She was serious. That's when I made my decision, my hard decision. What was the worst that could happen anyway? Right?
Kyle sensed it, but I said it anyway.
“Let me go.” I said softly.
“No I can't let you.” He shook his head, refusing and holding me tightly, like it was his way of making sure I'll never escape his grasp.
“Trust me.” I pleaded further, blindly, knowing I had no wits. I just couldn't lose my mom.
“No. I can't. I can't lose you again. Can't you see that we have no reason to trust her? What does she want with you? Remember she said she wanted to kill you, and now she's suicidal. I can't let it happen.”
“I know. I know, but trust me. I'll be okay.”
“I hate the things you make me succumb to. It's pissing me off.” He whined, finally agreeing. I jumped him, kissing him all over and thanking him.
I rolled off him and got dressed in something simple. Kyle escorted me to the car, pissed but scared. He was really scared and it broke me.
“I promise I'll come back.” I pulled him in for a hug and he kissed my forehead.
“Do you have any plans?” He asked and since I couldn't lie to him, I shook my head truthfully. What plans could I have possibly come up with in this state?
“Well I have one of my own.” Then he pulled a device from his pocket and wore it on my ear, then covered it with my hair. He pulled me in and kissed me softly.
“What's that?”
“Our communication. I have a few plans. I'll hear you, whatever happens, so don't talk back if I ask any questions directly but stylishly.”
“Okay, I understand. You're the best. Please make sure the kids are safe.”
He nodded, so I got into the car, all the way to the location with a heavy heart.
