Twisting Her Fate
Chapter 90

In front of the Azure cafe at 1:25 p.m, a small silver hatchback crawls up to the kerb, parking neatly and quietly. On the inside of the dark tinted windows, Leilani lifts a small vial to her lips and downs the liquid, a warm sensation spreads to her scalp, her fingers run

through her long tendrils and watches as they turn a golden blonde.

Out of the car, steps a long leg with a white sandal, followed by a sweet and sunny blonde girl. She has green eyes filled with innocence and a sweet, slightly nervous smile on her face like one would would expect of a shy girl meeting a man for the first time, small hands smooth out the dress, all her aura is pushed right down, her confident steps are reduced to small unsure steps. What appears in front of the cafe is so vastly different to the girl that was on the road earlier, she drove out all her aggression.

The sun catches in her blonde hair, giving her innocence a boost. She is even more beautiful than in the photos. Cunning eyes observe her from across the street.

Sometimes, photos rarely reveal the truth. With filters and photoshop it is hard to tell what a person will look like, but once he sees that she is just as beautiful, if not a little more than he was expecting. He smiles and watches her enter the cafe. The car that she arrived in is just what he would expect from her, nothing too flashy, just basic and neat.

The fact that she's unliked in her family and doesn't have a lot of excess money is just the topping on the cake after the whole Evie incident having to lay low for so long. He does not want a repeat of that and he again came close with Rosalie. He was not expecting her to be pursued so much.

It's funny, a lot of these girls don't like their lives or want something more, but when he offers them more, that is when they suddenly backpedal. They think that they have nothing and no one, but then so many people search for them. Either they don't appreciate what they have until it is gone or the people around them don't realize how much they care until the person is no longer around.

He watches as his next beautiful girl sits elegantly sipping an iced latte. She looks like pure perfection. She may be the most beautiful one yet and he cannot wait to have her all to himself. Sometimes it is just too easy.

He opens his laptop on his lap.

X: 'I am so sorry. I'm going to be a little late. An elderly lady fell down just around the corner and I'm helping her out'

In the cafe, Leilani lowers her drink and looks at her phone, raising her hand to her mouth and a look of concern on her face, doing everything right to play the part, but inside she is counting to one thousand in an effort not to laugh or vomit, maybe both at the same time. L: 'Ohh no can I help?'

X sends her a location straight away and Leilani leaves her drink on the table linking the boys.

'He is such a good citizen. He is helping an old lady in a dark creepy alley, nothing suss at all'

'Do girls fall for that?'

'Aren't I falling for it now?'

'On purpose'

'Now I just have to manage to get kidnapped without fighting back in the slightest'

That is going to be the hardest thing. She has been trained to be reactive, so suppressing all the urges to defend herself when in danger will be hard.

'That outfit definitely gives you a damsel in distress vibe. Just go with it'

Leilani just looks down at her phone, keeping the fake concern for the non-existant old lady on her face. Her footsteps are hurried as she clutches her bag in one hand and her phone in the other, she winds through the streets leaving the cafe and her car far behind her. Hudson is following her on security cameras.

'It is clever, there are so many dead spots it would be impossible to track you from the cameras alone'

'And he can see if anyone is following'

The boys are sitting in the stationary car, they are following every move but it isn't in person, they would have been found a long time ago. Now they are just waiting for Leilani to get kidnapped, because they don't want to get capture the perpetrator, they want to catch everyone involved. Who takes the girls may not be the same ones that send the messages. They want to know where the girls are taken, because only then do they have some chance of recovering bodies. They want to shut down the entire operation in one hit. Nothing like this should happen again.

To do that they need to allow Leilani to be taken and allow whatever will happen to her between then and the final stop to happen.

None of them are comfortable about it, but they have trust in Leilani. But to allow it all to happen, they want to be far enough away that they don't have a chance of getting to her in time to rescue her.

Leilani watches as her location moves closer and closer to the dot. As soon as she turns the final corner, she feels a presence behind her, she exhales softly, holding back everything that has repeatedly drummed into her for seven years, keeping her eyes straight ahead, she doesn't tense, she gives no indication that she knows what is happening. Her aura is suppressed and she still looks gentle even with her hurried steps.

"X are you here? I have come to help"

Leilani's voice is so gentle, her golden blonde hair bounces slightly as she walks, emitting a soft fragrance as a man approaches, he also holds his aura, his footsteps are so quiet that if she wasn't so well trained she wouldn't have heard them. 'Bye boys'

In the car, the boys tense. Terrance grabs Levi's arm.

"What is happening?"

"She is gone"

The tension in the car is intense. Five strong wolves sit in the car trying to push down their urge to shift, trying to push down all their natural urge to protect.

A cloth wraps around Leilani's face with a large hand pressing it down, her back is dragged back into a strong warm chest. He is tall, but that offers nothing helpful. A short man in the werewolf world would be an oddity. A tall man is standard. His scent offers nothing and with the cloth covering her nose, his scent is subdued.

A needle is stabbed into Leilani's neck and Leilani remains as meek and weak as possible. The only thing that betrays her are her hands gripping onto the white material of her dress so tightly that there is a major risk that the material will be destroyed in her own hands, but it is the only thing that is keeping her from reaching back and doing an over the shoulder throw.

Allowing someone to kidnap her is just as difficult as she assumed it would be.

The man may be big, but he isn't any bigger than the boys that she has been training with for all these years. It is well within her capability.

X nuzzles his nose into the golden blonde hair that attracted him in the first place, he feels her soft body go limp in his arms.

"You are going to be my favourite"

No one sees the man who has a black hood up over his head and a black bandanna wrapped around his face, no one sees the hazel eyes looking greedily at the girl as he drags her back into his car.

No cameras catch the action, and just like that, like so many before, the beautiful girl has disappeared from the face of the earth.

Leilani's consciousness is barely there, her body is trained to fight a lot of drugs, but this is different. She just lays in the back seat keeping her heart rate slow and steady, even with all her training, it is hard to not get slightly flustered when she is in such a vulnerable position. But this is all for a good cause. Her brothers won't be far behind. Her hazy eyes are swimming, she cannot make out figures or features, all she can see is a black blob driving and even her brain can't even keep up with the fact that she is in a car. A voice comes from the front seat and it just echoes around the vehicle, sounding all distorted in Leilani's drug-riddled mind.

"You said that you weren't fitting in your family anymore. Don't worry, I will be your family, I will be your friend, I will be your everything from now on"

X looks back at the girl who is unconscious on the seat. Her beauty is something else, it actually reminds him of someone else.

"It is okay, sleep now, my precious angel"

In the black SUV, this is the most anxious time for the boys, watching the little red dot move along the roads slowly but surely, just sitting tight. Madden, who is sitting in the driver's seat, actually had to remove the keys from the ignition and throw them in the footwell to stop himself from starting the car.

"Let's go get some lunch"

Terrance walks into a dinner with the group, it is the most strange atmosphere he has ever encountered, it is like they are all trying to be relaxed but even if a fly landed on their shoulder they would go into attack mode and sla*ghter everyone in the place. It is hard to look casual as they all stare at a laptop screen so closely that anyone would think if they blinked she would disappear forever.

Levi slides in the booth beside Terrance. He is usually the most nervous out of the group but the fact that he has his mates scent right there is able to calm his nerves enough.

"Nothing is ever fool proof, the fact that she hasn't linked us means that she can't, but we know that she will want us to wait. All we can do is put our faith in her."
