I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
We all looked at the woman and, on instinct, I yelled, “Selene! A little help here?” Selene appears in front of the woman and yells in a commanding voice, “Anna Mae Cole! STAND DOWN! Your mate’s son is destined for great things. You will not interfere!” Linden’s mom stopped and dropped to her knees, “Moon Goddess! But he is not my child! I cannot have him in my family!” Selene argues, “Then leave! I will make sure your mate gets another mate. You, however, do not deserve another one!” Linden’s mother lowered her head, “I will allow him to live and I will leave him alone. Please, allow me to keep my mate.” Selene snarls, “I have seen into your heart. You will never allow any of them to live peacefully, and I will not have that! You do not deserve to live.” With that, Selene drags her outside and rips her head off. Then she turns to Linden, “I’m so sorry it came to this, Linden. She followed your father here the first night you were back. We were all too late in agreeing not to let her
I laughed, “We rescued her from Alpha Johnathon. He killed her parents and her brother to get to her. Has he been tried by the council yet?” Beta Seth nodded, “He was only in the dungeon for two days. The council found him guilty and he was beheaded for what he did to that sweet little girl and her family.” I smiled and nodded as another group of kids appeared with Max and Blaise. I noticed Blaise was starting to look a little deflated and I asked, “Hey, Blaise, are you okay?” He replied, “Yeah, I’m okay. My heart is just a little broken right now. You aren’t seeing everything we are. It’s not a pleasant sight.” I asked, “Do you need a break? I can take over for you.” He shook his head, “We’re taking turns with teleporting and using magic. Don’t worry. You have the dream team on this. You just take care of the kids we bring in.” I nodded, “You make sure to take care of yourself too.” Blaise and Max teleported back and we took this group of kids to the medical room.

Beta Seth furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?” I smiled as I held up my index finger in a motion to tell him to watch, then I turned to my daughter, “Calista, can I ask your help with something?” She skipped over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly, “Sweetie, some of these kids are having a hard time talking about what happened and what pack they are from. Do you think you could get them to speak with us or maybe tell you what pack they’re from?” Calista smiled, “I would love to help. It makes me feel good to do these things for you.” Beta Seth smiled, “Thank you, little one. You are so strong for having such a little body.” Calista approached the first child, “Hi. My name is Calista. What’s yours?” The little brown-haired, blue-eyed boy answered, “I’m Cody.” Calista empathized, “I know what you’re going through. Princess Elisa isn’t my real mom. My old Alpha killed my parents and my brother and kidnapped me. He kept me in a room unde
I replied, “I believe we have. Can you bring Prince Aidinth and Princess Chloe with you when you come out?” He chuckled, “Princess Elisa, you really do have quite the talent.” I shrugged, “We aren’t done yet, and I’m afraid I may not have saved them all. I will fill you all in on what happened to them when you get here.” King Uther agreed and ended the call. I put my phone down and looked at the wall again. I walked into the first medical room and found that the little boy who couldn’t walk had been paralyzed. Apparently, he was one of the children who had been thrown. I conjured a wheelchair for him and wheeled him into the living room to sit with the rest of the children. He smiled at me, “Thank you so much, Princess. You are so nice!” I chuckled as I turned to walk away, “It was the least I could do for such a sweet boy!” I heard Calista and Beta Seth talking with him as I walked back into the conference room. I smiled knowing this boy would be okay as long as he has a loving home.
Elliot sighed, “I know, my tiny mate. It’s sickening to me too.” I lean into him and break down for the first time since we started this rescue. I look at the clock and realize we have been at this for almost 24 hours. I gasped, “You would’ve been so proud of our daughter. I think it was after the second group of kids was teleported here, Calista had been in bed, and she heard a couple of the boys crying. She ran downstairs and asked me why I didn’t wake her, then she started singing and calming them.” Elliot smiled, “That’s my girl.” I told him, “Some of the kids were too traumatized to speak, so she was able to get them to speak to Beta Seth about what happened to them. She even held some of their hands while they talked to him.” He smiled, “I’m so proud of her.” I informed him, “I told her to eat some lunch and go take a nap.” I was about to eat some lunch when my mom walked into the conference room, “Hon, why don’t you get some lunch and a nap? We can take care of the rest of the
I looked around, “Is Seth in the other building or is he taking a well-deserved break?” My mom replies, “He and Alpha Nico switched places. Alpha Nico is in the building with the deceased. He is trying to see if he can spare some parents from being in there. He wants to try to identify as many as he can. He also called other Alphas to be in there to see if they can identify any of them before subjecting the parents to this.” I lowered my gaze, “This is such a horrific situation.” King Uther sighs, “I know, hon, but think of all the kids we saved!” I nod in agreement. One of the kids in a wheelchair approaches us, “Princess, thank you for helping us. You saved more kids than the ones who passed.” I kneel down to his level, “Thank you for telling me this. I am so happy to hear that. What is your name?” The little boy replies, “My name is Joey. My mom and dad are on their way here to get me. I know they will want to talk to you too.” I hug Joey, “I am so happy to meet you, Joey. I am so
I suddenly broke down. I cried, “I wish I could tell you why I didn’t get there sooner. I wanted to save all of them, but we just didn’t get there soon enough.” I was quickly turning into a blubbering mess. I couldn’t even look at the woman who was so distraught. Joey approached the woman, “What was your son’s name?” She answered, “Michael. He liked to be called Mikey.” Joey replied, “I knew him. He didn’t like being bossed around. Did he?” The woman shook her head as she slightly smiled, “I will admit… He was spoiled. He didn’t like being told what to do.” Joey nodded, “That’s why they killed him. The guy with the whip told him to stay with our group. Mikey told him no and tried to take off running. The guy caught him and threw him back into us. He aimed too high and hit the wall behind us. He died as soon as he hit the cave wall. There is nothing the Princess could have done to save him any sooner. He died just minutes after getting there.” The woman started to get angry again, but K
I agreed to let her stay and Elliot and I went back to our house. We hadn’t even made it to our door when a small crowd formed at our door. We approached them and I asked, “Are you here to pick up your children?” One woman replied, “Yes, Princess. We already went through the other building.” She shook her head and continued somberly, “So many children. It’s so horrible.” I shook my head, “I know. It’s awful.” Elliot smiled, “For what it’s worth, we found many more live children. I can take you to the other house where they all just went to bed.” The mother asked, “Alone?” Elliot’s eyes went wide, “Oh no! No way! There are plenty of people supervising. The kids are great. They’ve been through hell and they can still laugh. Many of them are in wheelchairs now, and they’re still able to laugh. It just amazes me how quickly they bounced back from all this.” While Elliot took the parents to their children, I walked up the stairs to our bedroom and changed into a nightgown that would be pre
