Chapter 4 We need to find her!

CASPIAN

Kane had his teeth logged in my arm. I snapped my teeth at his neck and got a taste of his blood on my tongue.

"You win," I mind-linked him, he pulled out his teeth falling me limp onto the ground.

"Why would you do that? You just made us look weak in the eyes of the enemy," my Lycan Xavier beckoned.

"You thought you could win against a lycan Alpha, let's be real brother. You were never up for the challenge of being a leader," Kane tainted with triumph dripping from his words.

I shift back to my human form and let the soft leaves of the grass envelope me.

"You're so full of yourself as usual, I could just as easily win but I'm not interested in the bloodshed," I murmured.

Kane and I were made opposites, he acts cool and collected whereas I dwell in the rage and control my Lycan holds.

We share the same feelings, the same way we are connected as brothers, our wolves are too.

"That baby can't be the heir and you know it, so why the sudden interest," I grinned, tugging at the actual concern.

"You don't have an idea of what you're talking about," he rolled his eyes at me before walking back to the mansion.

I see all my men chained to one another. Bruised and battered, I caught sight of Paco being used as a punching bag begging for forgiveness.

"You should've known better than to drag these men into betraying me," Kane groaned.

Kane is fond of caring for his pack members, h

He orders respect and allegiance in exchange for the care and protection he provides them.

So punishing his men hurts him more than it hurts them.

He's weak for doing that, I show the truth about the immense power I hold inside.

They joined me knowing how powerful I am and the greatness I can bring them. We wouldn't be hiding among the humans anymore, we'd hold more of a stance than just a silent mafia.

"We need to see her, she can't raise that child alone," he pondered, trudging back to the lounge room we left her in.

"Good luck getting her to follow you, I saw the fear in her eyes after we shifted," I chuckled.

"She's also our mate, we can't let him take her away," Xavier growled.

I still remember how she looked at me with those brown Bambi eyes and the soft moan she released relaxing into my touch. She smelled of lavender and strawberries.

SNAP out of it.

I wait for Kane to answer but he walks past me trudging towards the room.

We walk in and find it empty. Shards of glass are scattered everywhere, and the wooden chair Kane smashed is stacked beneath the high window.

"She escaped," I deadpanned, watching Kane sniff out any scent.

"You can't smell her, can you? While I can't get rid of her scent," I said in annoyance.

"Something is wrong, I couldn't even feel the Alpha bond with my child," I furrowed my eyebrows, and true to his word he should've known already about the pregnancy.

As Lycans, we have a deeper connection with our mates and breed offspring than normal wolves.

I can't wrap my head around what's happening.

"We have to go look for her," Kane ordered, ready to call someone for assistance.

"You're kidding right," I chuckled, pulling the object out from his hand.

I smashed it with one tight squeeze watching it crumble to the ground. Kane shoves me and my head slams against the oak wood floor.

"We don't need anyone else knowing about this pregnancy, you'll be a walking target," I groaned.

"You mean 'she'd' be a walking target," Xavier smirked.

As much as I want to deny it, we have a connection. I have a stronger bond towards her than she does with me because of my wolf side. She's human and yet I can't shake off this itch to cuddle her.

It's disgusting.

"Shut up, you know I can't let her get harmed, because I can feel it too," I warned Xavier.

"She's carrying my baby," Kane barked, pulling my attention back. "Besides, I was planning to call Vera," he huffed.

"You didn't care about her seconds ago when you were fucking that whore," I spat suddenly I felt a sting at the side of my cheek.

Kane's eyes were blazing red and his fist was dripping with blood. My blood I suppose, I wince from the burning sensation before it heals.

"We're going to meet Vera to find her," He demanded, storming out of the room and slamming the door behind him.

We stopped the car at the family house and Kane got down leaving me in the car alone to find our sister.

"He seems to forget this isn't our home anymore," I sighed, jumping down from the car before walking into the villa.

"Kanyyyy, I missed you so much. Where is she? I heard you found your mate, her name's Jessica right?" Vera beamed.

I could hear her squeals from the car loft. She jumped with joy at the presence of Kane till her eyes landed on me.

The grin she had plastered from ear to ear dropped to one of a nasty scowl.

"Why's he here? I don't want to deal with any of his selfish conceited plans, he needs to get out," she yells, pushing past Kane headed to the kitchen.

"You don't need to be a baby about this," I rolled my eyes at her, "I'm as confused as you are as to what help you can give us,"

"We need to find Vienna," Kane blurted, he softened his eyes practically begging her for help.

"Vienna?? The little bitch that managed to squeeze her way into marrying you. Hell no, stick to Jessica, I like her," she rambled.

"We're your brothers and I'm asking for a favor," Kane asked nicely but I was ready to act otherwise.

"Fine, I know a witch you can meet for this," she sighed, "but I want something in exchange,"

"What's that?" we asked in unison.

"The lease to the Family winery,"
