Bète Rick's POV.

Amber had twenty guard members meet us outside of the pack house. They were ready to take whatever order we gave them.

" Ok everyone, I want every room, every hallway and every crevice of this pack house searched. Lean more into your wolfs instincts and don't leave any stone unturned. Each of you have a master key to every room in this building. Use them well. There are five floors to this pack house. My mate and I will take the rope floor. As for the rest of you, four per floor. Are you ready?" I ask.

They all straightened up. " Yes Sir. " they said.

" Good. Let's get started. " I said and with that we all walked into the pack house and split up to go to our own floors.

My mate and I went to the top flor which is where the rooms for the three in command of the pack and their family members usually stay.

" Do you want to split up or stay together in case we find anything?" I ask my mate Natalie.

She looks at me. " Since it's just the two of us I suggest we stay together. "

" Fine by me. Let's start on the right side. " I said.

She nodded and we started to walk down the hallway. I enhanced my senses more by leaning closer to my wolfs instincts and tried to see if there was anything I could see that was out of place.

We got code to the first room and I used the key to open the door. It was Cassandra's original room when they stayed here. We did a quick walk through and when we found nothing we moved to her parents room right across from hers. Still nothing there.

We moved on and looked at Clayton's room and then his parents room as well. Still nothing there. All I could smell was their scents. The last room was at the end of the hall.

This room was a game room slash kitchen where the kids could cook for themselves and hang out all they wanted to. It was very creative. There was no weird scents in here at all. I did smell a or of dust. It must have been a long time since this room was used.

We turned and walked back the way we came before starting on the left side of the top floor. We found Connor's room. The one Amber has been staying in while she lives here that now houses Connor again.

We unlock the door and walk in. I can smell Amber and Connor's scent as well as the scent from the cat Walnut here. There were no other scents around either.

That's when we went to the next room. This room would have been Alpha Conan's and his mates room. Only I smelt Amber's scent strongly from this room. She must be sleeping here instead.

We checked the room and there was nothing there either. Finally there was one last guest room up here which after checking it came to the same result.

At the end of the hallway was another separate room that was a lot like the kids hang out room. Only this one was set up for adults to use. There were lots of stands and bookshelves filled with movies and books.

They must have had lots of movie nights for themselves and the kids. The room smelt used. I could smell Amber, Connor, Clayton, Tasha, Alpha Conan's scent but there was something else I couldn't place.

It was a weird scent. Almost like someone had hurriedly tried to cover their scent with something but was sloppy with it. I looked at my mate and she and I shared a knowing look. There had been someone in this room.

I leaned more into my werewolf senses to be able to catch the scent better and it led over to a closet. I nodded at my mate and we slowly walked over and stopped just before it.

" Whoever you are, I suggest you come out now and surrender. " I said.

" We don't want to use force but we will if we are given no other choice. " said Natalie.

Natalie went to the door and grabbed the handle while I got ready for any kind of attack that may come. She turned the handle and opened the door. I went to lunge forward but stopped when I saw the person that was in there.

It was a kid who looked no older than 12 years old. They looked downright terrified. She was a girl with the greenest eyes I had ever seen. She didn't smell human. She had a human scent to her but it wasn't her own.

She had platinum blonde hair that went down to her shoulders and the worst part was the rest of her appearance. She was voted in bruises and one of her eyes was swollen like she had been hit. She had silver burns around her neck and wrists and multiple scratches all over her arms and legs. She was in shorts and a tank top.

She clearly had been crying because of the tears that were still running down her face and her eyes were red and puffy from crying. She seemed very scared of me and I instantly changed into a different stance. I carefully kneeled down in front of her and she followed my every moment with her eyes.

She even had silver burns in the shape of a muzzle that must have been around her face. " Hello little one, I mean you no harm. " I said.

That's when Natalie's eyes landed on her and she gasped her eyes turning concerned and sympathetic. " Oh sweetie. " she breathed.

" My name is Rick and this is my wife and mate Natalie. Can you speak?" I asked.

She was hugging her arms to herself but after a few moments she nodded. I offered a small smile. " What's your name little one?" I ask.

She seemed very hesitant and her eyes shifted behind us as if she was looking out for someone that might appear behind me. She then looked back at me. She refused to speak.

" Maybe it's best you handle this Natalie. " I say as we switch spots.

That seemed to make the little girl relax a bit more. " By you nodding before to what we said let's me know that you understand English. My only question is are you able to speak?" Asks my mate.

The little girl waited a few seconds before she carefully nodded again. " Did someone forbid you from speaking before? Is that why you won't speak?" Asked Natalie.

A few moments passed before the little girl nodded again. " It's ok now sweetie. We won't hurt you. I promise you that you are safe here. Would you like a notepad to communicate until you feel safe enough to speak?" She asks.

The little girl seems to relax a tad more and nodded. Natalie always carried a pen and a small note pad in her pockets in case she needs to write anything down.

She passed it over to the little girl. " Would you write down your name for me?" Asked Natalie.

The little girl hesitated taking the pad before she then started to write something down. Once she had written down something she showed Natalie and I.

It said that she didn't have a name. That confused me and made me worry for her even more. " You have some serious injuries. We're you held captive?" Asked Natalie.

That got a nod from the little girl. " How long have you been with these people?" I ask.

She wrote down something and showed us again. She said for as long as she could remember. That means she must have been held captive for her entire life. She's been raised in captivity. No wonder she's so scared to talk. By her injures that means she's a werewolf.

" We're you held captive by humans?" Asked Natalie.

She nodded instantly. " Sweetie, you will never have to worry about those humans again. We will protect you. Is there a name you like that you want to be called?" Asked Natalie as she reassured the little girl that we would keep her safe.

She still didn't relax any but she write something down on the pad and showed us. " Rebecca. That's a beautiful name. " said Natalie.

The little girls eyes sparkled at the small bit of praise. " Rebecca it is then. Are you hungry?" Asked Natalie.

Rebecca's eyes lit up at the thought of food. She furiously nodded her head. " Here, why don't you step out of the closet and we can cook you something to eat. " said Natalie holding out her hand.

Rebecca looked hesitant for a second before her stomach growling could be heard. She looked down at her stomach and then nodded and gently took my mates hand.

Natalie stood slowly and helped Rebecca out of the closet. We led her over to a seat and had her sit. " I'll go alert the guards and Amber. You do what you can for the little one. " I said.

" I'll look out for her. Get the pack doctor to come here to get a good look at her, maybe Connor would be willing to heal her. " said  Natalie.

" Sounds good. I'll be back soon. " I then turn and leave. This was sure not what I was expecting tonight. This kids got a lot of issues and will definitely need lots of help, but she's a kid. I already want to do everything I can to make sure she stays safe.

She reminds me of Amber when she was little. That child like innocence. I want to make sure she gets to enjoy the rest of her childhood and gets out with a good family or reunited with hers if they are still captive or alive somewhere in this world.

Until she explains how she got here, I will let Natalie do the talking with her. She seems to trust her more anyway. With that I go to tell the guards why we found and Mind link Amber to let her know as well.
