Kira's POV
'Esther is gonna kill me.' I said to myself. 'How does Jax even know how to get into Witch Mountain? You can only get in if you are a witch!' My wolf growled back. "Hang on. How do we know that he isn't working with Esther? He could only be saying that he knows how to get in as a trap to lure you in." I suggested cautiously. "Alpha I would never betray you or our Luna. I have known you since you were a pup. My loyalty is with you and nobody else." Jax said respectfully, bowing his head. "That is what anyone trying to hurt you would say Atti." I tried to reason with him. "That is enough Kira! Jax if you know how to get in, then show
Atticus POV'What is going on? What is she talking about?' My wolf questioned me. 'I'm not sure but we will find out. If Jax says that she can see into people's minds then I believe him.' I explained. "Now let me see your hands, Alpha. " Tony said with a small smile on her face. I placed my large hands into her small pale ones before she said, "Now, close your eyes and open your mind. Release every bad feeling you have in your mind. I need your mind blank for this." I did as she said and cleared my mind of Zaraphine, Esther, and the pack. "Good. Now, I will show you what I have seen in Kira's head." She said in almost a whisper.
Atticus' POVA gush of wind blew and with it, an invisible wall fell right in front of our eyes revealing a large castle-like house. I turned around to look at my men and see that they all held similar expressions, with their mouths hung open in awe. "You stay here?" I questioned Tony. "Yes, my coven and I stay here." She responded without moving her gaze from the home. "Follow me and be quick. Not all witches like weres." She continued. With that, we all continued following at a quicker pace. Leading us into the house we paced a large group of women standing in what looks to be the living room. "Who are they?" Someone whispered. "They smell l
Atticus POVI followed Alex out of the room and down the long corridor in silence for a few long moments. She abruptly stops and turns towards me with a dangerous glare. "Why are you here Atticus?" She almost growls. "I already told you, I am looking for information on how to save my mate. " I respond truthfully. Her eyes turn to slits before she reaches for my throat. She lifts me off the ground with ease but I remain calm. I cannot show fear. If I show fear then she can use it against me. She can use it as a weakness. "She will die. It is her only destiny. She will die at the hands of Esther and nobody can stop that. Not even you." She says
Zaraphine's POVIt's been a few days since anyone has come down to the cells. It's been pretty peaceful, I can catch up on sleep. Anytime I get visitors they hit and kick me to keep me awake. I can no longer feel the presence of my wolf. Ever since Lakota told me I would be mated to him, I felt her slowly fading away. I just hope she is at peace. The day I met my wolf I have done nothing but cause her grief and heartache, so it makes me kind of happy knowing she is no longer with me. I never wanted to put her through so much.
Zaraphine's POV"Home?" I questioned lowly. Where was my home? I don't have a home. I have places that I visit, that is all. I do not want to go anywhere with these people. I just want to get away from it all. I want to get away from them. Nobody loves me, nobody cares for me, and nobody wants me. Why would I want to stay anywhere with them? I thought to myself. Esther and this woman who I now know as Eos continued to scream back and forth as I made my way over to a still unconscious Lakota.
Zaraphine's POVIt has been a few days since I have officially left Dark Moon. I have been constantly on the move, never stopping for more than an hour at a time. My wolf is constantly fighting me, begging me to return to Blood Moon and take our place as Luna and mate. Every time she begins her antics I block her out and continue on in silence. I've passed a few packs on my journey but made sure to not step into their territory. When I am out here on my own, I am considered a r
Atticus' POVA few days have passed since we stopped to rest and we have stopped for our final time, outside of Dark Moon territory. We all have agreed to stop and rest before we enter in case of an attack. My men are right I do not want to be weak for this. I need to get Zaraphine back and the only way I can do that is if I am at my strongest point. "Alpha." I hear a warrior from behind m
Lakota's POVOnce I opened my eyes, I immediately regretted it. Snapping them back closed, protecting myself from the blinding lights above. I could hear the constant beeping noise to the right of my head which was making my headache worse. I wiggled my fingers and toes making sure I was still in one piece when I hurled the hushed whispers. I tried to block it out the best I could but it was no use. As it started getting louder my anger started to rise, causing me to bark my order, "SHUT UP AND LEAVE MY ROOM NOW!" The voices stopped for a few minutes before there was shuffling and the click of a door being closed.
One Year Later- Atticus POVTo think that a year has passed since my mate has vanished is surreal. My brothers and I, along with Selene, Jasper, and Eos have been working nonstop to find any trace of her. I know she is not dead I would've felt our bond break which is the only thing that has given me hope in finding her. When Selene came to Lakota's pack I was more than shocked to find out that Jasper Knight was Selene's, true mate. She did seem surprised to see him but she let it be while everyone was present. Every day I go out looking for Zaraphine, looking further than the day before. Selene says she can not feel her wolf, almost like she has vanished. I can tell that They have all lost hope in finding her alive but there is no way that I can just give up knowing she is out there presumably alone. Every full moon my wolf breaks free and runs the entire night howling at the moon waiting and listening for a howl in return. He hopes that one day on his adventures she will hear his cal
Jasper Knight's POVAs I explained to my mate that Zaraphine was in fact my blood gasps sounded behind me. I guess Selene never told her sister that we were indeed intimate. "I will find my daughter Esther and if I find a single scratch on her that is from your hand, I will kill you myself. Do you understand me?" I question harshly. She gives a slight nod to which I turn on my heel and head upstairs to the office. After I make it to the office I hear footsteps on the stairs. 'Good. I thought they would stay down there forever.' My wolf says. 'Hush! I understand their confusion.' I tell him. As I cut him off the door swings open and in comes At
Atticus' POVContinuing down the dimly lit stairway I pick up the scent of blood. 'Do you smell that?' Leo questions through the mind link. 'Yes. Stay alert.' I tell him. He gives me a slight nod and we continue in silence. Never taking my eyes off of Lakota, I watch as he tenses as he hits the last step. "What's wrong Lakota?" I question him. "Something's not right. I don't know what it is though." He says. "Who do you have down here Lakota? Is it only Esther?" I ask him accus
Atticus' POVWith a huff, I gave a nod and followed Lakota and this strange woman into the packhouse that I once grew up in. I stopped quickly and called behind me, "Leo come with me and everyone else stand down unless I say otherwise." In unison, I received, "Yes Alpha." Continuing forward with a slight smirk we make it to Lakota's office and take a seat. Prepared for a fight I never take my eyes of him. 'Do you trust this?' Leo questions through the mind link. 'I'm not sure. Stay alert.' I tell him cautiously. "Do not worry brother I would never attack you in our home. " Lakota says as if he is reading my mind.
