Mona stord into the hospital room, her sharp heels clicking against the tiled floor.
Her eyes imdiately darted to the bed where her father, Alpha Darwin, was supposed to be resting in his comatose state. But the bed was empty.
For a second, she froze, her mind refusing to process what she was seeing.
She inhaled deeply, trying to suppress the panic bubbling inside her. Turning sharply to her guards, she motioned toward one of them.
"Go find the doctor. Now!" Mona’s voice was like ice, her tone cutting through the room.
One of her guards bolted out of the room without hesitation. Mona clenched her fists, staring at the empty bed.
*This is impossible. He can’t just vanish! Soone has to answer for this.*
The door swung open monts later, and the doctor, visibly flustered, entered the room with hurried steps.
His face paled as his eyes fell on the empty bed.
"Where is my father?" Mona demanded, her voice dangerously calm but brimming with anger.
The doctor stamred, his hands fidgeting nervously. "M-Ma’am, I... I don’t know. I—I personally checked on him this morning. He was here, resting as usual. I don’t understand—"
Mona stepped closer to him, her piercing gaze making him flinch.
"You *don’t understand?* That’s your excuse? My father is not a missing patient; he is the Alpha of this a prestigious pack. And you are telling you don’t know where he is?"
"Ma’am, please believe . I—I didn’t authorize any transfer, nor did I leave the ward unattended. It’s against protocol—"
"I don’t want to hear about your protocols!" Mona snapped, her voice rising.
"I want my father found. Now! If anything happens to him, I will hold you personally responsible. Do you understand ?"
The doctor nodded frantically, his face drenched in sweat. "I will get to the bottom of this imdiately, Ma’am. Please... give so ti."
"Ti?" Mona let out a sharp, bitter laugh. "Ti is sothing you don’t have, doctor. I suggest you use every second wisely."
The doctor didn’t wait for another word. He spun around and dashed out of the room, barking orders at the nurses as he went.
Mona exhaled deeply, her hands trembling slightly. She turned to her guards, who stood silently by the door. "Leave . I need to think."
"Yes, Ma’am." They bowed their heads and exited the room, leaving her alone in the deafening silence.
Mona pulled out her phone, her fingers shaking slightly as she dialed Alpha Derrick. He answered almost imdiately.
"Mona, what’s wrong?" Derrick’s voice was sharp, sensing the tension even through the phone.
"It’s Father," Mona said, struggling to keep her composure. "He’s not in his hospital room. He’s gone."
There was a brief silence on the other end before Derrick’s voice ca back, laced with confusion. "Gone? What do you an, gone? Did you authorize a transfer?"
"No, Derrick!" Mona hissed. "Why would I authorize a transfer without informing you? I thought maybe *you* had him moved for so reason."
Derrick’s tone grew more serious. "I didn’t. And I wouldn’t without consulting you first.
Are you sure the staff isn’t hiding sothing? Soone must have seen sothing."
Mona paced the room, her heels clicking rhythmically on the floor. "I’ve already threatened the doctor within an inch of his life.
He claims he has no idea what happened, and I don’t think he’s lying. Whoever took Father was careful—no traces, no witnesses."
Derrick sighed heavily on the other end of the line. "This doesn’t make sense. Your father is in a coma. Who would take him? And why?"
"That’s what I’m trying to figure out," Mona said, her voice breaking slightly. "But I can’t shake the feeling that this is part of sothing bigger, sothing planned."
Derrick was quiet for a mont, then said firmly, "Stay where you are. I’m coming to the hospital. We’ll figure this out together."
"Hurry, Derrick," Mona said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I’m on my way," Derrick replied before ending the call.
Mona lowered the phone slowly, staring at the empty bed once more.
Her father’s absence felt like a gaping hole, not just in the room but in her very sense of control. She clenched her fists, her thoughts racing.
*Whoever did this... They will regret it. No one sses with my family and gets away with it.*

Kimberly sat on the cold, hard floor, her hands tied and her blindfold pressing tightly against her eyes.
Her breathing was shallow, her mind racing. She tried to focus, but fear gripped her like never before.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of heavy boots approaching.
The door creaked open, and footsteps filled the room. Kimberly tensed up, her heart pounding.
"Untie her and remove the blindfold," a deep, commanding voice said.
Two pairs of rough hands grabbed her. She flinched but didn’t resist as they untied her wrists and removed the blindfold.
Bright light hit her eyes, and she blinked rapidly, her vision adjusting to the sudden glare.
Standing before her was a tall man with an imposing figure. His eyes were sharp, cold, and calculating.
He crossed his arms and studied her for a mont before speaking.
"If you cooperate with , I won’t kill you," he said bluntly, his voice calm but nacing.
"I only need your blood. Give it willingly, and I’ll let you go."
Kimberly’s heart sank. She felt her throat tighten, but she forced herself to speak.
"Why do you need my blood?"
The man smirked, as if amused by her courage. "You don’t need to know. All you need to do is agree. This doesn’t have to be difficult."
Kimberly’s mind raced. *If they could have taken it by force, they would have already done it. They need alive. That ans I still have leverage.*
She straightened her back, trying to appear braver than she felt.
"I won’t give you my blood. I don’t know who you are or what you want, but I’m not so animal you can use."
The man raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by her defiance. He let out a low, humorless laugh.
"You’ve got spirit. I’ll give you that. But spirit won’t save you."
Kimberly’s gaze didn’t waver. "I don’t belong to you. If you think you can scare into giving you what you want, you’re wrong."
The man’s smirk vanished, replaced by a cold, hard stare. "Then get ready to die," he said icily.
"Because I will take what I need, whether you cooperate or not."
He motioned to his n. "Grab her."
Two of the n stepped forward, their expressions blank and chanical.
Kimberly’s breathing quickened, and her mind scread for a way out.
But sothing inside her shifted. A surge of energy bubbled up, unfamiliar and overwhelming.
It wasn’t fear. It was sothing else entirely—sothing powerful.
Before the n could lay their hands on her, Kimberly let out a scream. It wasn’t a cry of fear but a raw, primal sound that seed to co from deep within her.
The room was suddenly bathed in blinding light.
Her eyes glowed with a strange mixture of blue and white, brighter than anything she or anyone had ever seen.
The light erupted from her, filling every corner of the space and forcing everyone to shield their eyes.
"What is this?!" the man shouted, his voice panicked for the first ti.
The n around her stumbled backward, their hands covering their faces as the light grew brighter and hotter.
Kimberly couldn’t control it, didn’t even understand it, but it felt like a dam had burst inside her, releasing an energy she never knew she had.
One by one, the n fled the room, shouting in fear and confusion.
Even the commanding man stumbled backward, his face contorted with rage and disbelief.
"This isn’t over, Kimberly!" he yelled, his voice echoing as he disappeared through the door.
And then there was silence.
Kimberly sat there, her chest heaving, her hands trembling.
The light began to fade, leaving the room dim and quiet. For the first ti since her abduction, she was alone.
She looked down at her hands, her fingers glowing faintly for a mont before returning to normal. Her mind raced, but no answers ca.
*What just happened to ?* she thought, her fear now mixed with a strange sense of awe.
The silence around her was deafening, but in her heart, sothing new had awakened.
Sothing she didn’t yet understand but knew would change everything.
"I need to find my way out of this place, but I don’t even know where I am" Kimberly said to herself.
She roam around the place, before finally finding the way out of the building.
*Even if I find my way back ho, I can’t possibly tell anyone about what happened between I and those n...
I will have to pretend like the last ti for my own safety and I still need answers about myself* Kimberly was in a deep thought.
"How long will I keep this lies going, before I find myself?" She asked herself, as she continued to wander around...
