Hello everyone! this book takes place in the mix of book 1. this shows what happens to Leia after she is rescued.
Leia POV
There is no light at the end of this tunnel for me, if there was well then I wouldn’t know. I was living my current hell, fully conscious of what was happening but having little to no control over my own body. My wolf, Una, has been locked in some sort of cage. She looked smaller than she normally is. Her soft brown fur was mangled and rough, her once bright brown eyes were dim and dark. I shouldn't have gone to that party. I was warned about leaving the pack lands but yet my selfishness got the best of me. "She really is pretty." A man said in a slick tone. Una growled softly while I wanted to shrink to the back of my mind. "I know you can hear me in there, let me formally introduce myself. I am Bosch and you my dear are a wonderful prize." Bosch said, touching the side of my cheek. I couldn't even move my own body away from him. My skin felt like it would have crawled away from him if it could. "It was a mistake taking her." Another man said. He came into view but I still didn't recognize him. "Atsila, it was smart taking her, she is little Alleys best friend after all." Bosch said with a wide smile.
So that is why he took me? Because Alley is my best friend? "She will kill you if you hurt her." Atsila said sternly. "Oh I don't plan on hurting her, she is under my control which means she will do as I say. That will come in handy for what I want to do. I mean how could Alley fight against me when she is too busy fighting her own best friend." Bosch laughed. "You are a fool, you underestimate Alley." Atsila yelled. "I don't underestimate anything, and if you want to see your precious Stella again I suggest you shut the hell up and do what you are told." Bosch snapped. Stella? Wait, that man isn't a wolf, his eyes are red so maybe a vampire? He didn't look like one though. "You let my Stella go!" Atsila yelled before a huge ball of fire shot out of his hands. Holy shit! He is a fire witch? Oh goddess, and I can't even move. I could feel the fire brush against my skin. Shit it is hot. It's too hot. "Look what you did! You are burning her!" Bosch said before he raised his hand to release water. Una started whimpering as I fell to my knees. This is too much, it's too hot, too painful. I crawled towards Una, "It'll be okay. Alley will come for us. I know she will." I whispered before laying down beside the cage. It was odd being at the back of my mind with Una, it was like a third person was living within me.
In reality it was some control spell. I wasn't really sure how Alley would be able to help but I will have to wait to find out. I felt my arm being raised and I could finally see the red blisters on them. "Don't you worry my little doll, I will get you all fixed up. Come with me." Bosch said, dropping my arm. As soon as he started to walk off my body followed him. We were in some old house that looked to be falling apart, it was dusty and gross. The floors creaked under our feet and I wasn't fully sure it would hold out much longer. Who was that Atsila guy anyways? If he is a fire witch then maybe Stella is his mate or wife? We walked into what looked like an old office and there was a girl sitting on the desk. "Not now Bethany, I need to take care of my new little doll." Bosch said, dragging me along. "Oh please, she has a wolf she can heal on her own." Bethany snapped. So this was the famous Bethany Alley told me about. Yeah, she looks like she needs her ass beat a time or two. Maybe if I can somehow get control I can make that happen. "I have her wolf locked away, the spell won't work otherwise." Bosch replied, pushing her off the desk. "Don't treat me like a damn disposable." Bethany snapped standing back to her feet.
Bosch turned with irritation in his eyes, "You are disposable, don't you ever forget that." Bosch said, leaning in her face. "Una, do you think you could reach out to someone? Brad maybe?" I asked, looking at her. Brad is my older brother, we have always been close and I know for a fact he has already gone to Jackson, maybe even Tye. I know he is looking for me. "I can try but it will take me some time." Una whispered. My heart broke for her and myself. I would rather something be done to me than to her. Una has always been so sweet and caring with me, we bicker sometimes but not that much or not that serious. She doesn't deserve any of this. She warned me not to go out and yet I did anyway. Memories flashed through my mind of that night..
**FLASHBACK** Leia POV I was finishing the final touches of my look. I curled my blonde hair but pinned it back on both sides, blue jeans and a black tank top. I wasn't overly flashy and this was a human party that I decided to go to. "Leia, we really shouldn't go. We have been warned to stay inside the lands." Una nagged. "It is just for a couple hours Una, we will make an appearance and then come back home. I promise." I replied. "Just know that I do not agree with this." Una said before pushing herself to the back of my mind. I know she means well and I should probably listen but I am due for a good time. My best friend is a luna of a pack now, I've been a little sad, I really miss her. "Tell me you are not seriously going to a damn party." Brad said barging in my room. I rolled my eyes, "I am for a little while. I'll be back before you know it." I replied looking up at him. "It isn't a good idea Leia, you know dad will kick your ass if he finds out." Brad grumble
Brandon POV: As much as I loved working out, I even needed a break every now and then. A war was on the rise and we were all on edge, Alley was getting new abilities every time we turned around, not that I minded. I thought it was pretty badass. Seeing all the element carriers was crazy for me, maybe because I am not a witch or anything, but they were crazy looking. My wolf, Lane, has been on edge since everything happened. We didn't like someone trying to kill our Luna and even though she can take care of herself we would still lay our lives down to protect her at all costs. Maybe it is a good thing I haven't met my mate yet, maybe the goddess is waiting until after this war. I wasn't really sure. I wanted to give up on looking and in a way I did. I stopped turning my nose up to see if I could pick up on a scent that would take me to her. I stopped going to meetings that didn't require my presence, Lane and I just needed to be patient a little longer. "What are you doing today?"
Brandon POV: Pythia tilted her head to the side as if she was amused by what Alley had said. "I figured you would be.. bigger, but these two said you were stronger than you appear." She said, earning a few growls from us. I didn't like the tone she had in her voice as she said that. She narrowed her eyes on us but brought her eyes back to Alley. "You see, my mother was a power whore. Wanted it all and didn't care what would happen to her and the rest of us. When word came that you were the great white witch it angered my mother and she wanted your power." Pythia said looking disgusted. "Bosch had come to us wanting to work together but she denied him, she didn't want to share that power, but then I looked into what would happen if she did consume your power." She paused, pinching the bridge of her nose. "She would have literally burst taking all of our kind with her to the after world. You see why I had to kill her and take over?" She asked, "What do you mean she would have burst
Leia POV: I couldn't even tell you what day it was, or how long I had even been here. Una kept trying to reach out to Brad but so far there has been no luck. I was literally a fighting machine, I didn't know how he was making my body do what it was doing and honestly I would rather die at this point. I kept telling myself that people would come any minute but when it didn't happen it was just a big disappointment so I stopped telling myself that. It was rare that I got to go outside anywhere and I wasn't sure if it was because he thought that I was going to break free and run away or if he just somehow knew I hated being in this damn place so it is where he kept me. The Atsila guy kept coming and going and I grew more and more curious about him. I wondered who Stella was, it had to be a family member or something. I did find out that he is an element carrier, he was to watch over Alley and then give Bosch information about her but I noticed very quickly that Atsila was vague with
Leia POV: Bosch took a step forward and Una growled at him. "I just figured you would want some company. I am sure it gets lonely here." Bosch said. I knew he was trying to upset me but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "I have all the company I want right here, can't say the same for you. You must be lonely out there, not having any friends. Having to use magic and blackmail to have people around you. It's honestly very sad, but why use the magic on me? Afraid Una and I are too strong for you to handle?" I taunted. I was the queen at going tit for tat with people. If he wanted to upset me he would have to try a lot harder. "You will understand why I am doing what I am doing. You are too young right now but don't worry. I'll keep you close to me while I kill everyone you love." Bosch laughed before he disappeared. Somehow deep inside me I knew he was full of shit. There was no way that he could kill them, I was right. Others were too strong for him which is why he needs to us
Leia POV: I could hear people stomping around in the house like they were trying to get away from something or someone. Shouting started and I could hear chanting. What was going on? Bosch had me locked in a dark closet so I couldn't see anything that was happening. The wind outside was howling which was weird because we were in the woods somewhere so it shouldn't be that bad. I perked my ears the best I could and I could hear what sounded like water? What was that smell? "Fuck! Bethany you need to get the hell out of here now!" Bosch roared. The door flung open to reveal a very angry looking man. "Let's go." Bosch snarled, grabbing on to my hair. I could feel his fingers dig into the back of my scalp and I couldn't even scream out in pain. "Where am I supposed to go? I can't take those carriers on!" Bethany screeched. Carriers? The element carriers! "It's not the carrier's idiot, I suggest you run as fast as you can, I will find you soon." Bosch snapped before I felt the air hit
**Brandon POV**Brad had sent word that he spoke to his sister's wolf, she said something about an old house. We had searched all of them and now we were about an hour away from our pack lands. All hell broke loose when we got close enough, dark witches were throwing bags and running away, but there was a figure I knew all too well. "There is Bethany! Grab her!" I yelled. Alex was closer to her than the rest of us and I watched as he darted through the trees and tackled her to the ground. Bethany let out the loudest scream I had ever heard to the point it actually hurt my ears. "Get off of me!" Bethany screamed. "Shut up! Where is Leia?" Tye shouted in her face. "Fuck you!" Bethany roared, ramming her head into Tyes face. Alex ran over just as Bethany got to her feet, he grabbed her around her hips and slammed her back to the ground. "Where is she?!" Alex growled i
Leia POV:I had lost track of the days at this point, I stopped paying attention to people that were coming and going, Una was doing her best to keep her strength but I could feel that I was losing myself. The things this horrible man made me do will forever haunt me. I've killed innocent people against my own will. I was nothing more than a toy to him. At least when I would see Atsila he would somehow get me to stay positive but it has been days since I have seen him. Maybe Bosch killed him. Maybe he went to Alley. Maybe they have given up searching for me. I felt bad as soon as the thought passed through me. I know they would never give up but it's just so hard to stay positive. "Ah, my little soldier. Are you ready?" Bosch asked, grabbing the sides of my face. I wanted so badly to jerk myself away and kick him in the nuts but I could. I could feel his long nails diggi
