The pain brings me to my knees once again causing my wolf to howl out, knowing that
our mate is being shocked once again. Thank the Goddess that it was only the one time
this time, but it’s one too many if you ask me. I hate that I can’ t feel my mate; I feel
empty without her. The bond is still there, but the emptiness is enormous, and I know
that not only me, but Achilles will go insane if we don’t get our mate back soon.
Our plan is solid, or at least we think it is. After bringing in Miss Beatrice to confirm a few
things, we worked out all the kinks and now we are ready to go. We know that we have
to do this when the moon peaks, but the problem was finding that exact moment.
According to Miss Beatrice, though, the moon’s peak is different than what we thought.
The moon is out for roughly twelve hours a day, so the peak is actually the time that is
smack dab in the middle of those twelve hours. That is not what we were originally

thinking, so thank G*d- dess that Ledger thought to bring the witch in on this to help,
otherwise, we would have missed our window.
The time difference is another issue to consider. They are five hours ahead of us and we
must use their moon’s peak, not ours, so with the moon peaking at eleven forty-five over
there tonight; that will make it six forty-five here. We have only a few minutes to get in
and get out, without sounding the alarm and bringing hell down upon us. As long as
Emery is by herself, it shouldn’t be an issue, but if by chance she isn’t
alone and we have to fight, the only chance we will have is killing the f*cker and
breaking all the wards once they go back in place after the allotted downtime.
We have absolutely no qualms about killing the f*cker, but the most important part is
getting Emery back home. We still have a little over an hour before it’s time and so I go
in search of my brothers. I feel the need to be with them at the moment, and if I’ve
learned anything, it’s to always go with what I’m feeling. When I find them both in the
kitchen, I’mo- tion them to follow me, and I lead them to the Alpha office.
“What’s up?” Decker asks when he notices me locking the
door.
“I just want to make sure that we aren’t disturbed. I felt the need to be with the two of
you...”
”
“Awe, how sweet! We love you too, bro!” Asher bats his eyes and claps his hands
together.
“Seriously, Ash? I’m not meaning it like that.” I roll my
“Well, f*ck you then!” He says jokingly.
“I want to try something, and don’t ask me why because I don’t know why, I’m still
learning.” I glance around and see that they both are wearing the bracelets that were
given to us. Taking mine off, I palm it and instruct my brothers to do the same, “Okay, I
want us to hold it up to our mate marks, but we need to link together, so I will hold mine
up to Decker’s and he to yours,” I tell Ash, “And you hold yours to mine. I want to try and
see if I can get some kind of vision. Something is telling me to do this, so...”
”
“Well, say no more then,” Asher states, “We know better than to question your feelings,
bro!” They both take their bracelets off and palm them just like I did.
I place my hand over Decker’s mate mark, letting the amulet touch the marking, then like
a domino effect, my brother’s do the same until we are forming a circle. Nothing
happens, but it’s not always that easy either. I close my eyes and think of Emery, but
again, I get nothing. When I open my eyes, both Decker and Asher are staring at me.
“How about you two f*ckers close your eyes too and con- centrate on our mate.” I
instruct them both.
“Oh, my bad!” Decker snickers.
“Tell us this next time, bro!” Ash states and then closes his eyes.
I finally close my eyes again and think of our mate. Excite- ment fills me as flashes begin
to fill my thoughts, but a sec- ond later, they are gone and so is Ash’s hand on my neck.
My eyes snap open to see what the hell happened, “What the f8ck?” I ask as he just
stands there staring at me and looking a little sp*oked.
He shakes his head, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting to be seeing the flashes as well. It
startled me.
“Wait, you guys can see them too?” I ask confused.
They both shake their heads, “I thought it was pretty cool.” Decker grins.
I roll my eyes, “Can we please get on with it?”
They both quickly get back in formation and we all close our eyes. The flashes come fast
but they repeat themselves until finally we can put them together. Emery is being held in
a windowless room, but we can’t tell whether it’s a basement or what because half the
room is cement and the other half is decorated as a bedroom. She’s there, lying on her
side on the big bed. She seems to be alone, thank the Goddess because I don’t miss the
fact that she isn’t wearing anything, except for that f*cking collar.
That’s actually a lie, though. Relief flows through me when I see her finger the amulet
that she still wears. How she was able to keep that, I don’t know, but I’m not going to
ques- tion it either. I breathe her name because she is so beautiful, and my brother’s
follow suit. Suddenly, she sits up and looks around the room before looking down at her
we can tell her that we are coming for her.
Keeping my eyes closed, I speak to my brothers, “Send your thoughts to her; tell her we
are coming for her. It may be our only chance.”
After a moment, I notice her smile. I can’t be sure that she understands, but we can
hope. What happens next, though, scares me. Her expression goes from smiling to
worry, and maybe even a little fear, and as soon as she lets go of her amulet, the visions
are gone.
“D*mn it! Something is happening! Did you see the way she looked? Something scared
her!” Asher growls and my wolf howls again, knowing that there isn’t anything that we
can do for our mate at the moment.
We try forming the circle again, and when we get
through, everything is hazy, but I do notice that the f*cker is in the room with her, so that
may be why we are not getting a clear vision. We may be strong, but with his wards and
protec- tions up, nothing is clear.
When we lose the vision all together, I growl and head out of the room, “Where are you
going?” Decker calls out.
“I’m going to ask that little f*cker that you talked to where this room is because as soon
as the clock strikes the peak time, we are not wasting a second on getting to her! I don’t
want to teleport somewhere in the house; I want that f*cking
room.”
The witch was very helpful once we threatened his life, and the life of his family. Never in
a million years would we ever harm an innocent, but he doesn’t need to know that. He
thinks shifters are barbaric and that’s why we need to be put down, and that works in our
favor when we threaten his fami- ly.
The time has come for us to go get our Luna, and after the prisoner sang with all the
information that he knew, we now feel really good about getting her back. We know the
lo- cation of the house, where the room is at and how many guards are kept outside of
her door. We also know how many guards are kept at the location of the family home,
and we are not worried, but witches can teleport in and out, so we must still be very
cautious.
Seven of us are going, Dad, Ledger, and Emery’s uncle, Carter, as well as Miss Beatrice,
herself. The guys are going in case a fight ensues and the witch is coming to help me
and my brothers, with Emery, just in case.
“It’s time, Alphas. Are you ready to go get your Luna?” The witch grins.
“We are more than ready!” I state as I step up and grab her hand.
Once all of our hands are linked together, making sure we all go to the same location, we
nod at Mom and Cici who are here to see us off. It only takes but a flash and we are
stand- ing in a familiar room, although the sight before us is not one that I would ever
want to see again. My gut twists and Achilles howls, along with Ghost and Blaze, over
the sight of their mate and Luna.
Hope you enjoyed this update...sorry about the cliffhang- er! Thank you so much for
