The Girl He Marked

Chapter 31

I quickly shove the test in her makeup bag and wash my mouth out, when I walk into the kitchen, I have

to step around the ceramic shards on the floor. Ben is sitting with his head in his hands whilst Rixon

paces, his fists clenched and his face pale.

'He's taken her,' Rixon growls, my heart aches for him as I can see how visibly upset he is, shaking

uncontrollably with tears in his eyes.

'We'll get her back, don't worry,' Ben tries to reassure him but Rixon ignores him, pacing back and forth.

'I heard he abandoned his pack, I have no idea where he is, and the scent is only in here, there's no

trail!' He shouts and then pauses, 'What if he hurts her' He whispers, his voice breaking.

'He won't Rixon, she's too valuable, you'd know if she was in serious pain,' I tell her and he nods,

knowing that what I'm saying is true.

'You've got to tell her parents,' Ben comments and Rixon groans as he runs a hand down his face.

'They hate me enough already,' Rixon whines and I roll my eyes.

'You can't not tell them Rixon, they deserve to know, besides, we could use all the help we can get,' I

reply and Rixon nods glumly.

'Right, let's get out of here and go tell her parents,' Rixon states and we all grab our things and follow

him out of the house. As I attempt to shut the broken door, I turn around and crash straight into Ben's

back, who in turn bumps into Rixon.

I look around and realize that Rixon has stopped short on the porch, blocking our way. I watch as he

stiffens and sniffs the air, suddenly taking off towards the tree line. We both follow him and find him on

his knees, holding a piece of paper.

The paper is dotted with a couple of drops of blood, Lexi's blood. On it is a location on a map, it's pretty

self—explanatory.

Rixon jumps up but Ben leaps in front of him, blocking his way.

'Don't even think about it, we need reinforcements, you can't go now by yourself,' Ben warns, putting

his hands on Rixon's chest and shoving him back.

'He's hurt her!' He yells, his body tremoring.

'But you getting yourself killed isn't going to help her, come on, let's go,' Ben pushes Rixon towards the

car, I grab the paper and we all pile in, rushing to Lexi's parents' house.

Lexi's POV.

I groan as I come round, my head throbs painfully when I try to open my eyes. I manage to force my

eyes open and peer around in the dimly lit room, correction cell. I look around, taking in the small cube.

I glance down and realize I'm lying on a cot bed, there's blood on the pillow and I wince as I touch the

open cut on my forehead.

The bastard hit me.

I slowly slide off the bed and walk to the bars of the cell door, trying to see if there is anyone outside the

cell, nothing but an empty corridor.

Who the hell was that man

Where am I

Oh God, Rixon! He's going to be so worried, is he okay What if they've hurt him too

My mind whirls with what—ifs and I sit back down on the bed, feeling dizzy.

The baby.

I suddenly remember what I was doing before I was attacked, I haven't even been able to tell Rixon.

I jump as I hear a door creak open and then slam shut, footsteps echo down the corridor as I nervously

wait to see who they belong to.

I don't know what I'm expecting, but the attractive, middle—aged Asian man is not it. Dressed in black

slacks and a loose shirt unbuttoned at the collar, I suddenly remember his face from the cabin, just

before I blacked out.

He stands in front of the bars, casually leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, a wry

smile on his clean—shaven face.

'Hello, Miss Larkin,' he greets me with a polite tone, making him seem very much like a psychopath.

'Who are you' I ask, standing up from the bed.

'I am Alpha Seok,' he introduces himself, his face darkening as he continues, 'I was the one that

branded your mate, he betrayed his pack when he murdered my son,' his polite voice changed to one

of bitterness.

'You mean your rapist son,' I retort, instantly regretting my words as a furious look overcomes his face. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

I take a step back in alarm as his hand wraps around one of the bars.

'I'd be careful what you say Miss Larkin, you're in a very vulnerable position right now,' he threatens, his

empty eyes glaring at me.

'One wrong word and I'll cut out your tongue,' he pauses and his eyes lower to my stomach, 'Or maybe

your baby,' he smirks, I swallow hard and wrap my arms around myself.

'I believe the father doesn't know about the happy news,' he says, grinning in smug triumph, 'What a

lovely surprise that is going to be.'

'Don't hurt him,' I beg, knowing that my plea is probably useless but unable to stop myself.

'Your mate took everything that mattered to me, my son and now my pack.'

'Your pack' I ask confusedly, as Rixon told me that when he had been exiled, Alpha Seok stayed with

his pack.

'They were not approving of my mission for revenge,' he shrugs, dismissing them, 'So I left and formed

a new pack with my loyal members.'

'Your mate is going to come for you, and they'll be waiting, they will take out anyone who helps him,

and when we have captured him and he realizes that he has failed,' he leans forward to smile

maliciously at me through the bars, 'I will take the most important thing from him right in front of his

eyes.'

I inhale sharply and retreat another step, my back hitting the cell wall.

'All we have to do now is wait, so enjoy yourself baby mama,' he laughs and turns down the corridor. I

don't exhale until his footsteps disappear, I sink down onto the bed and put my head between my

hands.

Rixon is going to come straight into a trap, how can I warn him
