My sister, Jtmay10  just started a new book! I made this cover for her and I suggest checking it out. Let's just take a moment to appreciate this guy though...

SONG: "Heathens" -Twenty-One Pilots

Anyways, here's the next chapter of RTA. Hope you guys will like it.

*Parker's POV*

I tossed and turned in my bed. It's been almost three months since Jasmine was kidnapped. I've barely slept at all. Zander's forcing me to sleep. I've done everything I can to try to find her but no luck. It's been worse than hell. I have members searching all throughout the country for her.

How can I even sleep if Jasmine is all that runs through my head?

My eyes felt like they were on fire and I felt like I would pass out any moment.

After what seemed like forever, I finally fell asleep.

~ ~ ~

My vision was blurred. Everything looked like shadows. No light, just darkness.

However, there was one blob of light off in the distance. I tried to move towards it, but I never got closer.

My vision slowly began to become clear and I saw, standing in the light, a black wolf staring at me. It's icy blue eyes staring straight into my soul.

I felt a pull towards it. My wolf yearned for it.

'What's wrong?' I asked my wolf.

He growled in response, 'Mate.'

My eyes fixed back onto the wolf. It was still staring at me. This was Jasmine's wolf.

I tried to move forward once again, and to my surprise, my legs worked.

Jasmine's wolf didn't budge, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

'Can you communicate with her?' I asked my wolf.

'I can try,' he responded. After a few moments the wolf's ears perked up.

Finally I closed the distance between the wolf and me. Carefully, I lifted my hand and placed it onto the fur. Sparks shot through my hand and up my arm.

I then heard a foreign voice in my head. 'We've been taken by the Rogue King.'

A sudden rush of anger coursed through me and my jaw clenched. I already knew this, but part of me hoped it wasn't true.

'Where did they take you?' I asked.

The wolf looked at me with bright eyes. 'Here's what I know,' she began.

*Jasmine's POV*

I slumped to the ground, my whole body aching as bruises were already formed. I felt blood dripping down my skin, mixing to the dirt and sweat covering my body.

My eyes drooped with exhaustion. This wasn't the Rogue King's doing, or even Kyan, but Jared's. Why? I have no clue.

Kyle was chained up on the other side of the room. He looked a lot worse and than I felt. His beatings were worse and was done by Kyan.

"Jasmine?" His voice was weak and barely audible, but I could still hear him.

"Yes?" I replied, my voice hoarse from the dryness and lack of water in my throat.

"I'm sorry."

My brows knitted in confusion. "For what?" I asked.

He looked up at me. My heart clenched at how broken he looked.

"I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I regret all of it so much," he apologized, his voice also dry from the lack of water.

My eyes softened. "I already forgave you."

"I have to say it again. I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness at all."

I didn't say anything but stared at him with a soft smile on my face. The first one I've had since I've gotten here. Kyle and I've become friends. He's been the only one who I can talk to. It's been hell. I've weaken so much that I can't even stand on my own without collapsing.

Not only have I been physically abused, but sexually as well. Now I've been getting nightmares that I use to get back in high school.

Kyle stared back at me. After a while he spoke with determination, "I'm going to get you out of here."

I sighed, "Kyle, we've tried everything. Look where it's gotten us. There's just too much security and my family is in danger if I don't do what he says."

Kyle frowned. "But there's got to be a way."

I shook my head, "I don't think so. We've been here for months and had no luck. My wolf hasn't spoken to me in about two months because of all the wolfsbane. I can't shift and even stand."

I couldn't even imagine what Parker's going through. The thought just makes my heart clench.

"Are you thinking about your mate?" Kyle asked gently with a knowing look on his face. I nodded slightly glancing down.

I've never missed anyone as much as I miss Parker.

A lump formed in my throat and I bit my lip to stop from crying. I've never thought that I would feel this way about anyone. To be honest, I'm very happy he is my mate. The more time I spend thinking about him the more I care about him and the more I feel that I actually do love him.

I'd give anything to see him again.

I looked back up at Kyle. "What happened to your mate?" I asked curiously.

"I haven't met her," he replied. (A/N: Sorry if I'm wrong. I can't remember if I've mentioned it or not, it's been so long)

The sound of the door opening got our attention.

Here we go again.

Jared circled me, a whip in hand. His cold, lifeless, green eyes narrowed at me with hatred.

"What do you want from me?" I asked for like the millionth time I've been here.

Instead of answering, he kneeled downed to my level and roughly gripped my chin between his fingers. "Don't question me, now keep quiet," he growled.

He then stood back up and before I could protest, I felt a stinging pain along my back. The sound of the whip hitting my skin filled my ears. I bit my lip to keep from screaming out.

A few seconds later, I heard another crack, followed by leather digging into my back and the silver burning my skin.

He whipped me a few more times before someone walked into the room. I already knew who it was since this was sort of like a routine now.

"I can handle it from here, Jared," he said. However, it wasn't who I expected it to be.

I glanced up from my position on the floor and was met by a pair of bright blue ones.

"Good evening, Chérie. Haven't seen your beau visage in a while," he greeted me, his voice smooth like silk.

Jared left the room leaving me alone with the Rogue King.

He knelt down, leveling himself with me. He took my chin gently between his fingers, completely foreign to the way I've been treated during my time here. His black hair kept messy and a black shirt clung to his body, revealing muscles that could make any girl weak. He had no affect on me because I knew who he was.

"How are you doing, Chérie?" His words rolled off his tongue easily with his accent.

I scowled at him. "How does it look like I'm doing?" I snapped back. 

The smirk on his face showed that he didn't care how I was doing. He trailed a finger along my jaw and down my throat.

"You look quite well. Better than I thought," he murmured. "Looks like Jared's taking it easy on you."

I narrowed my eyes at him. Taking it easy? I felt like I got hit by a bus multiple times.

"I wish I could say the same about you," I muttered with an eye roll. The smirk never left his face. Instead, he moved his hand away from my face.

"I haven't properly introduced myself," he stated. He twirled my hair around his finger. "Darius."

"I don't remember asking for your name," I retorted.

He grinned at me. "You need to learn to keep that pretty mouth of yours closed. However, I am very intrigued." He stood up and started walking towards the door.

"I better go before I do things that I'd regret," he told me before walking out of the room. I watched his retreating back.

How much longer do I have to be in this hell-hole? Will Parker even find me? Will I ever escape?

Jared dragged me back to my cell, which I now share with Kyle.

He opened the door of the cell and pushed me inside. He chained me to the wall to keep me from trying anything. It's not like I was strong enough to.

Kyle was already fast asleep on the floor, looking a bit better than he did before, however, his injuries wouldn't heal as quickly do to the wolfsbane.

Jared left without saying a word.

My eyes drooped. I wanted to sleep but I was in pain, almost feeling numb. I created a pillow with my arms and laid on the cold, hard ground.

Despite how cold it usually was, I began to feel slightly warm. As minutes passed, I felt even hotter. Soon I started to sweat.

"What the hell?" I muttered to myself. Maybe I'm getting sick? But werewolves don't really get sick.

My clothes began rubbing against my skin in a way that had me squirming. It felt so uncomfortable on my skin that it made me want to rip it off.

"Jasmine," Kyle's voice caught my attention. It sounded different and darker.

I looked up at him, although it was dark, and my eyes widened slightly. I stared at his eyes which glowed brightly, full of lust.

* The Rogue King's POV*

My office door opened and in walked Kyan. I scowled at him.

Temptation to just snap his neck was always the first thing that came to me when I saw him or any of the other hunters.

Not yet.

"What is it?" I asked, turning away from him.

"Some of your rogues spotted some of Parker's pack near the borders," he informed me.

"Let them find us," I responded while leaning against my desk with my arms crossed over my chest.

His eyebrows knotted in confusion. "Why would we do that?"

A sickening smile formed on my face. "The plan is all falling into place."

Sorry the chapter is kind of short, I wanted the chapter to end a certain way and didn't know how to make it longer.

I hope you guys enjoyed it!

What are your thoughts on the Rogue King's plan? What do you think it is?
