A/N: right. Sorry that the last chapter was such a short one but I have been super busy.

I hope this one keep you interested. Apparently the last chapter wasn't that obvious (I've had a few wrong e- mails, but some of you have been right. Either way all I've said to is something like: 'he he, be patient, all will be revealed soon')

A LIFE LESS ORDINARY

Chapter 4: Things are never easy

The room was dark as the four Lycan stood close to each other.

"The vampire must not stay here my brothers" Roderick's voice was a quiet growl.

"She will inform her clan of our location and that will be then end of us, of our families!"

Each Lycan then growled their agreement and hatred for their 'guest'.

"So," Roderick grinned evilly "here's what we do."

Fear filled his small frame as he listened to their plan from the cover of the think shadows, clutching a new teddy bear tightly in his tiny hands.

***

His chest was tight, he couldn't breath. Instantly he opened his eyes, startled by the sudden panic he felt.

But there was nothing wrong with him, nothing to panic about. For a moment he was confused.

Then it hit him; he wasn't panicking, Selene was.

He turned to her side of the bed, wanting to do everything he could to calm her, to stop her feeling this way, but the bed was empty.

Quickly he pulled his jeans on and left the room, leaving his shirt behind.

The den was cold as he rushed through the corridors, not knowing where he was going; just letting his feet take him to his mate.

"Michael!" a small voice yelled out, and Alex came running towards him at full speed. "Hey" Michael said distractedly "Alex have you seen Selene?"

The small child's face turned white. "You don't know where she is?" he asked and his lower lip started to tremble as tears filled his eyes.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?"

"We got to find Selene! Roderick and some other nastyies want to hurt her!"

"Alex." Michael couldn't help being a little sceptical

"Honest! I heard them!" his tears fell freely down his cheeks as he told Michael what was being planned.

"They said they were going to tie her up, and leave her until the sun comes up, and watch her burn"

His small frame was shaking as he sobbed at the though of such a thing being inflicted on his friend.

For the first time he hugged Michael. Crying hard and loud against him.

Quickly, Michael lifted the small child and cradled him as he rushed through the halls to find Luke.

***

The dull thud echoed through the chamber as her fist rammed into his face. His fangs splitting her knuckles.

Then all hell broke loose,

Two other Lycans sprang at her as the fourth grabbed her from behind.

Using this action against them, she lifted her feet off the ground and rammed them into the oncoming Lycans.

That was when she realised that she had let her guard down in the past few weeks.

Twice now she had been caught off guard and she didn't like that fact.

Normally she could have taken these four beast without a second thought, but since she had bonded herself to Michael she had been distracted.

*don't blame Michael!* she screamed inwardly *it's not his fault! He's helped more than anything. He's helped you remember, helped you love*

She smashed her foot into Roderick's groin, sending him to his knees. His Lycan features burning with pain.

*just stay calm, you can do this*

but the panic was almost too much.

She heard a fierce growl to her right and turned just in time to see a fist flying at her. she didn't have time to move.

She felt the impact, felt herself falling. Saw the Lycans gather around her, and then...Black.

***The Vampire Mansion***

He moved slowly through the halls of the mansion, the other vampires stopping in their tracks, watching his stiff movements.

He was almost fully healed but his appearance was still somewhat disturbing.

"My lord" one of the soldiers spoke quietly, eyes fixed on the ground as he stood before the anger of his lord.

"Have you found them?" the question was quiet and fierce and the soldier hated that he had to be the one to give the bad news

"No sir, we have a team out as we speak, hunting for them. But nothing yet"

One quick movement and the soldier was pinned high on the wall, a mutilated hand gripping his throat tightly, as he looked down to his lords enraged features.

His snarl hand caused skin on his face to split again and his blood slowly ran down the side of his face. Highlighting the ice blue of his vampire stare.

"Next time you report to me, you tell me you have them." He threw the soldier back into the group before him, knocking a couple more down. "OR YOU DON'T REPORT AT ALL!" he bellowed before turning sharply and marching back down the corridor

***The Den***

"Andy, Ivan, Jason!" Luke called as he marched through the main hall with Michael close behind him.

"Yeah?" they all answered as the fell into step with him.

"We have a traitor amongst us. Few in fact" he glanced over at the three Lycans "Roderick and his friends!" Michael scowled at mention of the name.

"They have Selene!" he told them as he marched next to Luke "They told the location of our building, and now they plan to leave my mate for the daylight."

He growled and was comforted to hear that the others in the group joined in the sound. Three other Lycans joined the group after hearing the news of the betrayal.

By the time they left the den, the group that had started out as 5, was now a pack of 27. All angry and ready to help the hybrid get his mate.

They all piled into three vans and set off to hunt for the traitors.

As Michael sat in the passenger seat next to Luke he looked up at the moon.

There were few hours left before the sun was to rise. And if he didn't find Selene before then, he would lose her forever; exactly as Lucian had lost his mate.

"Don't worry Mike," Luke said quietly as he noticed the panic on his friends face. "We'll find her!"

***Vampire Mansion***

"My Lord" the soldier knelt and slowly raised his eyes, expecting to see the mutilated flesh of the superior vampire. However he was now fully healed.

"You had better have good news"

"We have located her, my lord. She is held captive by four Lycans. They play to chain her outside and leave her for the sunlight."

He lowered his eyes again as he heard the fierce hiss of the vampire before him.

"Assemble the group. We're going to retrieve her."

"Yes my lord"

***

Her head was pounding, and her eyes burned. Slowly she tried to open them. Roderick was standing in front of her in his human form.

"Hey" he sneered "how's your head?"

Selene only stared at him. "Roderick? Let me down."

He laughed "not a chance! I'm not giving you the chance to betray us."

"Betray?"

"That's what I said. You're a vampire. There is no way you can not betray us. You'll go Back to you're little mansion and tell them where to find us. Just like you did last time!"

Selene cringed, it was true she had done that, but she was different now.

"No, that was different; I'm not one of them anymore"

"You'll always be one of them. Just because you have Michael fooled doesn't mean you can do the same to the rest of us."

He swung his hand and smacked her across the face.

"Kraven should have killed you himself!"

She stared at him, stunned. "It was you! You told them where we were"

Roderick started a slow, taunting clap. "Bravo. How long did that take you?"

Suddenly there was a loud bang. Roderick's eyes went wide and Selene watched as silver nitrate started to pour from a hole in his stomach.

Five more shots and Roderick was down.

She stared at him for a while, her arms chained to the post in the middle of the courtyard.

"Selene"

The voice made her heart stop, he stomach turned and she felt so ill.

Slowly she dragged her eyes from Roderick's body at her feet and looked to the owner of the voice.

"We have a score to settle!"

She couldn't believe her eyes as the vampire closed the gap between them

"Kraven?"

He was now standing inches from her.

"How?"

He only grinned at the question as he grabbed her jaw with his gloved hand. He forced her into a kiss, knowing she couldn't fight him away as she was chained up.

As soon as he pulled away he rammed the butt of his pistol against her temple, rendering her unconscious.

"Get her down!" he ordered as he moved back to the car. "The dogs will be here for her soon."
