Queen Dianne’s P.O.V

Flashback to six years ago

Royal palace

I was just leaving the nursery because my little miracle was sound asleep and the guard was stationed outside her window keeping her safe from everything. We are really blessed to have had her after struggling for years and having quite a lot of miscarriages. I was ready to give up and live with the fact that we would not have any children of our own and I know Zach was really sad because of this.

We both decided that we would be trying one last time and then our miracle little Mary was born without any complications or problems. The morning of her birth was the most stressful and funny day in my life. Zach was so cute being so worried when I told him that my water had broke and that he would need to get me to the pack hospital. He ran around the house for like ten minutes looking for his keys when we wouldn’t even need them.

I picked the hospital bag up and walked up to him, tapped him on the shoulder and led him with me out the door and to the hospital.

I met up with Zach in our room and we cuddled a little bit before we heard the commotion and the mind link came in.

“We are under attack. It looks like the rebellion. All available hands on deck.”

Zach looked at me, gave me a hug and went to down to go and help out. I was on my way to the nursery to go and sit with Mary but on the way there one of the omegas flagged me down and asked if I wouldn’t mind coming down and sitting with the other woman and children who are waiting for news from the warriors. I agreed and told her that I was just going to fetch little Mary and then come down and sit with them. I asked her to get some story books for the kids and have some other help her make hot chocolate and hot drinks for everyone in the library and have some on standby for the warriors and helpers when they returned.

She nodded and went her way to the kitchen. I hurried along to the nursery. I opened the door and walked to the crib as normal. That was where the normal stopped.

The crib was empty and there was no sign of her anywhere in the room. I looked down and there was no guard down under the window.

I was starting to panic now.

I didn’t want to mind link Zach and distract him if he was busy fighting because that could make him distracted and could cost him his life or cause serious injury. I decided it was best to call my beta female Nina and have her come and help me search. She arrived with Alex, and he said that the fight was over. Once I heard that I decided that I would contact Zach immediately.

“Zach.”

“Yes honey?”

“I don’t want to worry you, but I can’t find Mary. She is not in her crib in the nursery, and no one has moved her that I have asked. I am a little freaking out at the moment.”

I was met with silence, and he also didn’t respond to any other links making me worry. I was on my way out of the pack house when I met with Zach on the front steps.

“When was the last time you saw her?”

“Right before the commotion broke out and you left to go and help. I came to our room right after I was with her.”

“All pack members please be on the lookout for any clues as to Mary. She has been taken from her crib during the commotion. We believe that it was a distraction. If anyone has taken Mary please let us know asap.

All people willing to help in the search of the pack lands please meet me outside on the front steps in the next five minutes.”

“Don’t worry we will find her.”

Lee-Anne came down and led me to the kitchen where she sat me down and made me a cup of camomile tea. I drank my tea and went out while she was distracted to go and help in the search to find my daughter because no one has said that they have her. I went and stood next to Zach where he was explaining the plan and followed him when he went south. We both shifted and let Athena and Apollo take the lead and follow any scent that might still be lingering in the area.

It was hours later when the cold and rain started that Zach suggested that we stop the search for the time being and try again as soon as the rain has cleared. Everyone searching needs to go and eat and get some rest before we could continue anyway. I didn’t want to because I didn’t want to leave my daughter alone out here with someone that might mean her harm.

Zach had to drag me back with him and force feed me because I didn’t want to do anything other than look for my little girl.

Who would do something like this? Everyone knew that she was a miracle and that we feel that she was gifted to us by the Moon Goddess.

Zach carried me up the stairs and helped me get dressed in my sleepwear and then he put me in bed. He was about to leave when I grabbed his hand and told him that he would also need to get some rest if we wanted to be fresh and ready to continue the search tomorrow morning. He reluctantly agreed and got into bed with me, cuddling me to him.

Sleep didn’t come easy but eventually I was overtired and let sleep take me to the darkness of my own mind where maybe once I wake it I will find that the events of today was just a sick and twisted nightmare that didn’t really happen and that my little miracle was safe and sound sleeping in her crib in the nursery.

  • Hidden In Plain Sight    Chapter 44

    Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,

    Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could

    "RUN!"I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me. I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running. I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house. Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that

    Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared.I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story.Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my

    Unknown's P.O.VWe had just finished dinner and were walking back to my place where I had plans for the lovely lady that was so willing to accompany me on this date tonight. Little did she know that she would not be seeing her beloved cat again after I am finished with her.Taking them out for dinner and getting the drunk and soft makes it easier for me. Also, you know slipping something into a drink here and there has also never hurt anybody, well except for the girls of course. Blood from a willing victim just tastes so much better than blood from someone struggling. The fear that courses through it just adds a weird aftertaste that I have learned that I do not care to taste when I need to refill my energy levels.I mean I could always just use my powers of persuasion on them, drink my full and let them go with them not remembering anything but where is the fun in doing that? I have more than just hunger needs that I have to fulfil and in any case

  • Hidden In Plain Sight    Chapter 39

    Mary's P.O.V I didn't think that I had missed as much as I had missed while I was out but by listening to the story that Dora was telling me I did in fact miss a lot. We were even at the second location since the attack that dad was sidestepping the whole time. To be honest I felt better than what I remember feeling the last time with the doctor and his wife. I don't feel so scared and weak as I did with them and since I woke up on my own without the screams ringing through the whole room meant that hopefully, the nightmares would also not be present this time. Maybe it was the fact that I was older and understood more of what was going on in the world or maybe because in my heart I had started making peace with the fact that I was not normal and that the other people in my family were also not normal. I mean my dad can turn into a werewolf at will and Dora has this weird relationship with plants and little creatures. She also collapses when peopl
