Ciara’s POV
I take a seat in the diner tapping my finger on the table, I smile as the waitress delivers my cup of coffee, thanking her before checking the time.Today I was meeting Roisin's dad. We had been friends for around a year before she found her mate, she was always a good friend up until that point then she sort of just disappeared unless it was to complain about her new family. She really hated them for having a life when she felt like mark wouldn’t give her one.She definitely got more intense towards the end but when I found out what she did I couldn’t believe it. Never ever did I imagine she was capable of such a heinous act.Most of our friend circle just cast all thoughts of her and her family off but I just couldn’t do that. My thoughts had went out to each family member and eventually I just gave in ringing her dad to give him my condolences.I’m not a wolf but I am an elemental witch, our group of friends were mainlyMy parents were once warriors in one of the biggest covens in the us, they were very high up and fought all there life until one day they were attacked by voodoo witches or more commonly called blood witches.They would take us for our natural abilities and powers, to become a blood witch it usually starts when you think your powers were not enough, you want more but the only way to get more is if you take it, you sacrifice a soul to feed the greed of your own. After that my parents escaped, they made it clear to me that I would live as a normal mortal, we would have normal jobs, have regular friends and move around so nobody could ever figure out what we were or why we did the things that we did. Because of that my parents always taught me that it’s important to appreciate the craft that you have, no matter how big or small that may be and to never push the balance of nature to prove what we could be more, so it always scared me off experimenting.
Lilly’s POV “It’s true she had no intentions of taking them, she had no other choice”I tell him, he almost looks disappointed, like he was willing and ready to kill anything just to rid himself of the angry tension in his body. “You come with us”He snaps, she nods her head “I’ll do anything, but please can you warn my parents? They need to know they are in danger!”I shove my phone into her hand“Ring them, tell them what happened and ask them to get into the car waiting outside their house, they will meet us at the pack house”“No please don’t hurt them”She cries, I growl at her “I’m not going to hurt them you fuck wit! I want to help them and I hope they can help us too! Do it or my men will take them by force and you die and they won’t ever have the chance to say goodbye!”I snap! Regretting my words immediately, I sigh turning and pinching the bridge of my nose and taki
He lifts my chin to look at my face “I promise we will find them, we will get them back”“What if we don’t?”He shakes his head“We can’t think like that, we need to stay motivated. We need to be healthy enough to fight if we have to, you need sleep and food, you need to be at your best”He scoops me up into his warm arms protectively holding me, the tingles spread across my skin gently reminding me that I was alive, although I didn’t want to be if we couldn’t find them. “Whatever happens we will get through it”Layla whispers to me, I snuggle into his throat sniffing in his scent as he carries us into the kitchen, the place was tense as we take a seat, everyone had their eyes on Ciara, all except fiona who was busy typing up a storm on the computer. Ciara nervously sits in the corner, even breathing seemed to scare her. “Did they mention where they were taking them?”Ciara shakes her head
“I can, it’s the reason I didn’t immediately kill Ciara”She smiles at me sadly then she looks to drake“Don’t worry it’s not that kind of bond, it’s more maternal. It’s like my power runs through her veins, primordial’s were made to protect my people, a task they took seriously, the bond will always exist between us as an added precaution so you wouldn’t turn around and kill us if we pissed you off, I’m shocked you never felt the difference with this other witch”“Eva? When I checked her she was pure white, her aura and heart was so pure, not tainted in the slightest”Vincent shakes his head clicking his tongue“Tsk tsk tsk, ever hear the saying if it’s too good to be true it probably is?”“Did she take anything when she was here? Medication? Anything?”“Yea, I still have it, putrid smelling stuff”Evelyn calls from the kitchen“May I see it”Caron asks her, she brings it over opening it and sniffing it, her nose scrunches up and she shi
“Stop it, your meant to be disappointed in me or something”He snorts“Oh please, I have never nor will I ever feel disappointed in you, especially when you killed people to find me”“I killed most of them, I let one bleed to death infront of the others, after that they pretty much lined up for a fast death”I say chewing my lip, his eyebrows shoot up“What the hell did you cut that scared them like that”I scratch the back of my neck trying to word it right so I don’t get in trouble for looking at a rogues junk. “Well I had Ben give him the snip then I hung him up outside the cellar”“Did you look at it?”He snaps immediately, both me and Layla roll our eyes“Seriously that’s what your thinking about right now?”“Ehh yeah, did you?”“No Ben did it, I turned around so I couldn’t see”I snap childishly crossing my arms over my chest, he heaves a sigh of relief like th
“What about caden?”She sobs harder, what if they have hurt him? Or killed him? Damn he would die for Baylee? What if they killed him. I anxiously look around trying to find a light of any sort, a way to get out of the darkness “They said they will kill him if I don’t scream. They told me if I be good and scream they won’t hurt him but my throat hurts and I’m scared I can’t scream anymore”I bite down on my lip as my own emotions swirl around inside me. I felt like I had a piece of me missing, a piece they both held in their hearts that belonged to me. “Baby I don’t know what to say, can you tell me anything about where you are?”“A glass box, they have computers and they all look like doctors but they are mean doctors”“Can you see any way out?”As I ask I see a light ahead of me, pushing forward I’m almost blinded by a bright white light. I feel a presence with me, I turn to see where I was when I realise I’m in Bayl
“I trust you have this under control?”“Ofcourse, we have the place on lockdown, all kids are to stay inside and any available warriors are ready to leave with you”“Good, report to alpha Jack with any change and any decision big or small is in his hands”“Yes alpha, good luck with your mission I hope it proves successful”He smiles at him, nodding his head and he leaves, turning to me drake smiles“You ready?”“Ofcourse, what about the attack?”He shrugs his shoulders looking at his phone“It’s just a distraction tactic from Martin, he knows what he’s doing, he’s trying to keep us at home and away from the kids, dad can handle it”“Well not to add any pressure but he blew up Caron’s house”Drake freezes, looking up at both Caron and Vincent sadly“I’m truly sorry he got you both involved but I’m grateful you came here when you did, come with us to retrieve the kids? That way we know y
Taking a seat on the plane drake belts me in as Caron gets busy making the potion“When you drink this it won’t be pleasant, it will feel like your entire body is on fire and drake you can’t touch her”Vincent tells us sternly, drake studies him then he looks to Caron and back to me“I don’t think this is a good idea, I don’t trust them”I squeeze his hand smiling at him gently “I will do anything to get them back, they don’t want the world to end and we want them back, for now we have the same goal, for now we trust them”I could feel his hesitation through the bond but he had no choice here, I was not going to give him the choice. Closing his eyes he takes a deep breath nodding his head “Ok, but if she gets hurt I WILL kill you all”Vincent rolls his eyes shaking his head “Oh please like you have that power”Caron slaps him round the back of his head“Would you behave! How would y
