Some days later...Benji didn't know how many days had passed since they were captured but he knew some days had passed.They brought food for them, at first they didn't eat it but afterwards they had no choice but to eat it.Benji wondered why they hadn't been found, he knew his father would have ordered a search party for him. So why weren't they found yet.He looked at Luna Rosa, he wouldn't allow anything happen to her, he wouldn't let another mother die on his watch.Benji sat quietly against the cold wall, rubbing his wrists where the ropes had dug into his skin. Luna Rosa was resting with her back straight, her eyes closed, but she wasn’t asleep. Neither of them had spoken much since Alpha Reed had left that day.The door creaked suddenly, breaking the silence.Benji looked up quickly. It wasn’t the usual guard. A young boy, around Benji’s age, stepped in and quickly shut the door behind him. He was holding a knife in one hand and a lantern in the other.Benji stood up at once
Evena stood at the center of the clearing, his cloak blowing slightly in the wind. The forest was silent, but the tension in the air was heavy. All around him, werewolves from moonlight pack and the palace waited for his command. Some shifted in their places, others sniffed the air for a trace of Benji or Luna Rosa.Evena raised her hand. "We search every corner, north, south, east, west. Don’t leave any part untouched."The wolves nodded. Some shifted into their wolf forms, ready to begin. Others followed the scent trails, their eyes focused and alert."They couldn’t have gotten far," Evena said. "If they used sleeping powder, they’ll keep them close for now."He looked over at Alpha Rafaele. He gave him a firm nod. "We’ll bring them home."Evena’s face stayed calm, but deep inside, worry filled him. They needed to find the prince soon otherwise nobody would survive the king's wrath. “Go,” He ordered, and the search party scattered..... Far from the clearing, inside a dark room
That evening, moonlight pack received another upheaval. A lot of vehicles trooped into the pack. Ferocious looking werewolves came down from these vehicles.Witches trooped out with their charms, eyes closed as they tried to find out where the prince could have gotten to.The king strode towards where Tobias and the rest stood, anger and fury radiating off him.Rina winced."What happened?" he barked at Tobias."He went out with the Alpha's mother and they were taken" Tobias explained."What do you mean they were taken? Where were you when this was happening?" the king asked.Tobias looked down, "I went out to see a friend"The king looked around and spotted the guards who had followed the princes to moonlight pack."You! Come here!" he ordered as he pointed at the captain.The captain walked towards the king."and what were you doing?" the king asked him."I...I...I" the captain stuttered, filled with fear."Benji didn't like the guards following him about and since it was within the
"Okay, okay, let's calm down" Rafaele said stepping in between Rain and Tobias."No, I want him to repeat what he said. Are you trying to say my brother took Luna Rosa away""I am sure Rain didn't mean it"Damien stood in front of Rain, "Rain was just citing a possibility, apologies, your highness but we all know how Benji really is.""That's enough" Rafaele snapped.He turned to Tobias. "forgive them, they are being children"Rina came forward, "this might be a misunderstanding, I am sure we will find them soon" she tried to placate him.The sentries came in holding a shirt, it was Benji's shirt and it was bloody."We found it at the outskirts of the pack. There are marks on the ground indicating a struggle. We can't identify the scents of the attackers so they aren't from the pack" they reported.Rafaele gulped, they had been kidnapped."I will send a message to my father" Tobias said as he stood up. He brought out a little notebook from his bag, it was similar to the one Evena had
"You went out with him?" Rain asked his mother."Yes I did, is that a crime?" Luna Rosa asked them."No, I am just surprised. He didn't want to go out with us earlier when we asked." Rain replied."Well, I don't know about that but when I asked him, he agreed""I see, just be careful mother, he is a prince after all" Rain told her."He is a young boy just like you two. Rain, you had your own days of disobedience, do you remember?" Luna Rosa asked."But he didn't do as much as Benji" Damien defended him."well, I am sure if Rain was a prince, he would have done worse" Luna Rosa said, a smile on her face."No I wouldn't" Rain grumbled."You two should go get ready for dinner" she told them and walked away......Over the course of the following days, Tobias went to visit Silva, gradually they became friends again.With time, Silva started to fell her old feelings for him coming back but she tried to quench it, remembering what had happened in the past.Luna Rosa and Benji also became cl
Moonlight pack..... The house was quiet.Benji lay curled on the couch in the guest room, a blanket around his legs. His face was damp with sweat, and his breath was coming in short gasps.The dream had come again.The same one.He was six again, tiny, trembling, crouched behind his mother’s legs as she faced the cloaked strangers. Her hands were shaking, but her voice never wavered.“Leave him alone. You’ll have to kill me first.”And they had.He remembered the way she fell. The sound of her body hitting the ground. The warmth of her blood, hot and thick, splattered across his face.He remembered screaming so hard his throat went raw. He remembered the way they grabbed him, how he kicked and bit, how it didn’t matter.The iron chains. The dark cellar. The vampires who smelled like death and smiled like they were doing him a favor.He woke with a gasp, sitting up so fast he nearly fell off the couch. His heart was racing. His hands trembled as he wiped at the tears streaking his c
