Chapter 5
Nathan knew he was goner, acting as stupid (or maybe worse) than his brothers acted over Brianna and Callie. He understood now what it was like to be completely captivated by a mate.
Sasha.
His cock went stiff just thinking about her in his bed with her long blonde hair flowing over his pillows and those needy moans of hers that drove him to sate her every need.
He stretched as he shook off his day sleep. He could smell her scent on his sheets and his chest ached. He missed her already and they had just been together last night. He wished she had stayed with him to sleep at his side. It would be bliss to see her smile every night when he awakened. He felt...lonely.
He didn't just miss her body. It was...Sasha. She was the delight of his life. She would stand toe to toe with him when she got in one of her stubborn moods and argue with a man twice her size without ever flinching. He smiled, knowing she was one of the bravest, smartest women he knew. When she wasn't near...he missed her.
He reached for her with his mind, but couldn't reach out to her. Knowing she was probably sleeping, he sighed.
He loved everything about Sasha, even her stubborn determination that mage and vampires didn't mate. His lips curved into a smile. She wouldn't win that argument. No matter how hard she resisted, he would make her call him to her somehow and they would be mates. Not only was she destined for him, but he loved her nearly to the point of insanity.
Nathan's security gate buzzed just as he was rolling out of bed. He hit the intercom button. "State your business."
He stiffened as he heard the breathless female voice on the other end. "Nathan, let me in. It's important. I don't have time to spell myself in right now."
Regan. What was she doing here? Nathan quickly hit the button to open the gate and dressed himself magically as he ran down the stairs to the front door.
Regan's sporty, little blue vehicle came to halt with screaming tires as she scrambled out of the car. Nathan frowned as he saw the look of terror on the usually calm and sedate woman's face.
He grabbed Regan by the shoulders gently. "What is it?"
She started to cry, tears rolling down her cheeks. "They took her, Nathan. Our parents went to the mage elders. The council decided she needed to be mated with a mage and they took her. They said they would beat the vampire devil from her and mate her with a mage."
"Sasha?," he breathed softly but dangerously.
Regan nodded. "We were working and they just invaded her house and took her away. We both fought them with our magic, but there were too many elders. They drugged her and took her away in chains. She was still fighting." Regan finished with a sob. "She loves you, Nathan. She'll be miserable, and I'm afraid they'll have to hurt her badly because I know she won't accept the mating. Please help her."
Fury rose up inside of him, anguish ripping and tearing at his insides. Death to anyone who dared to lay a hand on his mate. He stared at her sister, willing himself to be calm. Regan was hysterical and she needed reassurance. "Do you know where they are?"
"I'm...not sure. Probably at the mating grounds." Regan choked back her sobs. "I can't believe that our parents betrayed her."
She quickly gave Nathan directions to the mage mating grounds.
Liam. Rory. Ethan. I need you.
He sent a call to his brothers and every one of them appeared almost instantly. He explained quickly that his mate had been kidnapped.
"Regan. I want you to stay here. Sasha would want you to be safe. Liam, please stay and watch over her. She's upset." Nathan looked at the serious faces of Ethan and Rory. "I might need
