Chapter 120

Graysons POV:

Grayson!

I stopped keeping my arm up stupified by her voice and Charles landed his kick square to my head but

still I called

out.

Annette!

I landed on the ground chalres shocked i had just given up. I had felt her she was scared she was

running, what had happened? I hadn’t been able to find her between the divide just darkness. There

was this large emptiness where there used to be intimacy and closeness, all the familiarity was now

hollow no matter how hard we tried.

“Annette,” I spoke aloud and everyone stopped.

Annette

“Damn!” I growled punching the ground to stand up.

“What happened?” Charles helped me up.

“Matt I want CCTV footage again, get me all of it surrounding Seattle and satellite footage of any

forests nearby by

rivers too,” I called.

She hadn’t meant to but I had seen her, she was running still in her nightgown from all those months

ago, through the woods, by a river she was drenched from head to toe and she was passing out from

something hitting her.

“What’s going on??” Charlie realized before I had to say but I’m sure he needed to hear the words.

“I think your sister made an escape attempt, she got out but I think they grabbed her again,” I started

unwrapping my

hands and my head swam with worry, hope, excitement, and terror.

“What did you see?” James came up to the side of the ring and opened the door for us as we exited.

“She was running she’d been fighting she was in a forest somewhere but Seattle is the only place we

know Marcus has been and I don’t think he’d go far from her,” I gritted my teeth thinking about him

being near her, her still in the same nightgown that she’d given birth in.

**I’ll kill him slowly for that

She felt at peace when she heard me, she only has to hold on a little longer I’ll be there soon. We went

to our surveillance room and started scouring over miles and miles of forest and rivers and the city’s

CCTV footage getting in contact with the alphas there alerting them she might be around,

“Is it true did you hear her?” Annettte’s mother came in holding my son.

“Yes I heard her,” I looked over my shoulder. “I saw her but she got captured again in trying to see if

she left a trail,”

“She’ll had done something she’s smart,” she sat down next to me.

I wasn’t a fan of that woman at all and personally thought she was going to get in the way but this was

her only daughter I wasn’t going to tell her to leave.

Hours and hours went by scanning and scouring over trees once or twice we’d thought we’d seen her

but it was either a shadow or a hiker. Maybe it was all in my head? What if I was so desperate to see

my wife safe again I had thought up her voice so convincingly?

I needed proof she had gotten out somehow some way. I had to know she was out there if anyone

could do it she could she was so strong and steadfast in a challenging time she never faltered she

wouldn’t let herself.

More and more hours dragged by Theo fell asleep first as we kept going over the twenty some screens

in the room. All of us going over every corner of the screen looking for any trace of her. You would think

that all these cameras everywhere would help but right now it felt like it was making everything more

difficult.

How could I find her in all of this how could I hope some hunk of metal in the sky was going to just

happen to find her for me. I know she was trying but I needed more. I needed just a little more from her

and then I could help.

It was morning again and I was holding my son feeding him as I went over footage in Seattle. I was

scouring the cameras around my fathers office building.

He entered his palace precisely at seven in the morning, what a well oiled machine. My mind reeled for

a second. What was he doing at work? Wouldn’t he be taking care of Annette? Trying to keep her

under lock and key after an escape?

He probably doesn’t know then. He will soon. What if I track him? I could track him and see if he met

with Marcus soon, Marcus had Annette that was certain.

I spent the day holding my son starring at the tv screen trying to get a glimpse of my father to see if he

had left yet, see if was angry. On and on the black and white screens laughed at me waiting for me to

slowly go mad. I wouldn’t give up ever, I’ll stay here for months until I find the image of her proving

she’d escaped.

“Come on darling,” I whispered she won’t just go back quietly, where is she?

Eventually my father did leave his building and it was late but he didn’t look angry and he went straight

to his penthouse. I sat at the desk and went over more forest photos looking again and and again to

see if she’d been

captured. It was doubtful and pointless at this rate but it was something I could do.

“Grayson!” Matt barged into the room with his tablet in his hand and he sprang the image up in the

screen.

All of us jumping in our feet starring waiting for the video to load.

“Benny sent this to us five minutes ago,” an elevator camera came up on the screen.

Then like a miracle she jumped into the frame looking up at the camera and nd stared right at me. She

wasn’t looking at the camera she was making sure I’d seen her.

Two large arms wrenched in the elevator and she clawed, hit and kicked at him fighting like a banshee

to get away from him scratching at his eyes.

“She’s alive,” her mother whispered crying tears of joy and sat down back in her chair silently weeping.

“I’ll kill that mother fucker,” James said across the room glaring at the beast of a man dragging away his

sister.

“I’ve got you baby,” I motioned and we got into all of the cameras in the hotel, most of them were

working but one floor and the restaurant. That’s where she was no doubt.

“I want the cameras in the parking garage,” I ordered. They’d have to leave and soon I’d find her. Soon,

soon she’d be back to me. To us.
