~James POV~
I slammed open the door to my office. All the ranked members were waiting for me.
"Any news?" It had only been a day but I was hoping it was enough.
"Sorry, Alpha, the warriors haven't found a trace." Jackson said, not meeting my gaze. I felt unease stir up in the pit of my stomach.
"Well what have they found?" I wanted something, anything.
Jackson and Alex shared a look and Amber was looking at me with pity.
"ANSWER ME!" I growled making everyone wince.
"Alpha, they haven't found anything." Alvin said this time. My patience was non-existent and my mood was foul and not at all easy going at the moment. I turned around and looked out through the window.
"Leave." I said.
"Alpha there is one other thing," Jackson spoke. I walked over to the bar ready to pour myself a drink, but opted against it and pulled out a bottle of water. Drinking when I was in this state led to a downward spiral that I didn't have time for.
I went back to sit on my chair at my desk and looked at Jackson.
"What?" I asked.
"Natasha is here, I got a mind link from Emilio, she visited Sofia." A frown quickly spread on my face and my nostrils started flaring.
"Bring her to me." I growled. My eyes turning black. Jackson's eyes dimmed over and I knew he was mind-linking one of the warriors.
"No need, I'm right here." The door to my office opened up and Natasha took the liberty to step in.
"What is this thing about you barging in here without knocking first? You do know the doors are there for a reason right?" Alex snapped at her. Before Natasha had a chance to give a snarky comeback, I used my speed and was in front of her within a millisecond. Pushing her up against the wall with one hand around her throat.
"WHERE IS SHE?" I growled loudly. Alex and Alvin were behind me, pulling at me to let her go. However, I had no intention of doing so.
"James, let her go!"
"Let her go, man!" They were shouting but I could barely hear them. My focus was on not killing Natasha too soon.
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" A loud voice roared from the door.
"You let her go this instant, Mr!" It was Alice. She was scowling with her arms crossed over her chest. She took quick steps towards me and my eyes went from hers to Natasha's.
I growled and stared into Natasha's eyes, slowly loosening my grip around her throat, before removing it.
Natasha wasn't mad, she didn't look bothered at all. This bitch was getting on my last nerve.
"Where. The fuck. Is she." I said as Natasha massaged her throat with her hand and looking bored.
"She's in town, that's all I can tell you. For now, Alpha, there are more important matters at hand."
"MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY MATE?" I was prepared to lunge at her but Alice got in my way. She stepped in front of Natasha and gripped my shoulders.
"Breath, sweetheart," she said. My heart was racing and my breathing was ragged. One more misstep and somebody would die.
"James, breath." Alice said again more sternly. I tore my eyes from Natasha and looked at Alice, mimicking her breathing like I did when I was younger. I was starting to calm down.
After a few more breaths I felt a little more at ease, however, the thought of killing Natasha was still appealing. She had been dishonest and deceiving, why did I ever agree to have her here as much as I had?
I stepped back and Alice's hands dropped to her sides. I went over to my desk once again but the frustration inside me wouldn't rest. I lifted my hand and slammed it down on my desk with all my power, breaking the thick oak table in half. That somewhat calmed me, but not enough.
'We'll go for a run later. For now, don't break anymore shit'
Shut your fucking trap
Blade growled at me.
'I want to kill Natasha as badly as you do but she is the only one who knows where Avery is. And she wants to help, let her. At least see what she has to say'
I turned around and faced everyone. I then locked eyes with Natasha and when she saw that she had my attention, she spoke.
"Sofia is innocent. You have another traitor within your pack."
