I was on my way to the kitchen when I seen Elizabeth sneak into Aero’s room. So, I masked my scent and silently moved closer.

“Why did you and your whore mother have to come in and take what was mine? I worked so hard getting the spell right to capture both Baine men. If it wasn’t for Morgana, Alaric would still be mine.”

I heard her but was confused on what spell. Then it dawned on me, she was never our mate. That’s why Liza’s bond was stronger. I went to turn around to go talk with Alaric and Liza when the dammed floor creaked.

“Who’s there?” Elizabeth’s shaky voice came.

I just walked into the lit doorway then walked towards the kitchen ignoring her comment. I could hear her footsteps quickly closing in.

“Can we talk Dom? Please, I didn’t mean what…” She tried to explain.

“Didn’t mean what Elizabeth? The part where even though he is married with an heir you still trying to jump his cock? Sorry but Liza has that covered.”

Yes I know that was harsh but right now I don’t care. There is a bigger problem on the horizon and I will get to the bottom of it. I don’t trust her near my nephew, something seemed odd the way she snuck into his room in the middle of the night.

"Alaric? Liza? Come downstairs now!"

Within a few seconds there we were all standing in the kitchen. It’s time to get this over with.

“I, Dominic Baine, Alpha of Silver Moon Pack. Do hereby reject you, Elizabeth Thompson as my mate. I also over heard your midnight chat with my infant nephew about a spell cast to catch my brother and myself. I also heard you call our shared Mate Liza a whore to her son, of which she can handle. As for me, well I want you off family land immediately, and to never have to look at your face again.”

“She did what!!?!!” Roared Alaric.

“Babe, calm down.” Liza stated soothingly as she rubbed his arms then turned to face Elizabeth.

“Since I am such a whore and you clearly want my man, well go ahead try. I won’t stop you because I know where his heart is. However, with that said, I did say I wouldn’t stop you but my dragons and witch are a different story. So, here’s your chance, take Alaric from them or run? Choice is yours but I would hurry. My dragon is ready to pounce.” Liza smirked.

That bitch ran faster than a man’s ability to be right again after saying I do. So, one problem down.

“Dom, what’s wrong? I can feel your anxiety. Is it that dream again?”

“That and well…. I don’t know something just seemed off. Why would she wait until everyone was asleep and sneak into lil man’s room to tell him if it wasn’t for you and him, she’d still have Alaric. I don’t trust her. Something isn’t right.”

They both seemed to be thinking about what I just said when Alaric chimed in.

“Now that you say something I get the same feeling. I was just trying to be nice since you still felt the bond.”

“That’s the thing after seeing you both in the garden earlier it’s like a curtain was lifted. Just now when I rejected her, I didn’t feel the pain of the bond ripping. It’s odd maybe that’s what she meant. She used a spell to fake the mate bonds. Which is a total psycho move.”

We sat there for a few minutes just thinking of the recent events. No one speaking, just silence. Too much silence. I had this feeling I couldn’t quite describe when Liza spoke.

“What time is it guys?”

I pulled my phone out and it said 2am. Aero must have slept in.

“2 AM. Aero must have slept in today. All those fireballs….” I started then the feeling intensified.

Liza jumped up and ran to Aero’s room while we chased her down. Then came the most monstrous roar I had ever heard. There is no fury like a momma dragon missing her young. We knew Aero was gone. In an instant Kayda and Tatiana were standing there ready to kill anyone who entered as they searched for scents.

Deep down I knew Elizabeth done this.

"ALL SUPERNATURALS. I DOMINIC BAINE CALL TO YOU. THE PRINCE HAS BEEN STOLEN. WE MUST FIND THE PRINCE! WE THINK ELIZABETH TOOK HIM. HURRY TO THE CASTLE, THE QUEEN NEEDS HER SON!"

“Kayda?” I stepped forward trying to calm her down, so she could focus.

She snapped her jaws in my direction and I had to jump back.

“Kayda, we need you to take a breath. I just called on everyone. We will find him.”

With that she seemed a bit calmer. I caught a lingering scent that wasn’t that old, so I shifted and ran in that direction.

"Stay here, wait for the others. I caught Aero's scent I will find him."

"Over my dead body! Alaric you wait here, I'm going to kill her for touching my baby!" Kayda snapped back.

Oh Elizabeth, you really fucked up. Kayda had full control and there is no stopping a momma. We ran and marked the areas deeper and deeper into the woods. How did she get this far this fast? I know we ran a good two miles already. The scents were getting stronger the deeper we ran.

Just up ahead in the clearing, baby Aero was crying with a screaming Elizabeth standing over him.

“YOU MUST DIE SO I CAN HAVE MY MATE BACK. WELL, HE ISN’T MY TRUE MATE BUT THAT DON’T MATTER. ONCE I AM DONE WITH YOU THAT WHORE IS NEXT.”

She raised her hand high in the air and I could see the blade shimmer in the moonlight. I could hear the other creatures of the night closing in. It was hard keeping Kayda back. Her instinct was telling her that her son was in danger. When I seen the knife lower it was as if she was moving in slow motion. I ran as fast as I could using my wolf to cover Aero’s body when I felt the sting of the silver blade.

“Aaahhhh!” I shouted as my body forced me to shift into my human form.

The darkness slowly consuming me as Kayda entered the clearing menacingly stalking her prey. She quickly grabbed Elizabeth’s head in her mouth as she devoured her whole.

Then darkness.
