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 takiHe 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
“Seriously?”He almost sounded impressed “Yep, He passed out screaming. He might need it amputated because it still feels like it’s burning”Tom whistles shaking his head“That’s what happens when you act like a dick”“Oh please your ego is just as big as his”Tom rolls his eyes ignoring her comment and he looks back down at the clipboard “If only the boy knew what he was capable of. There would be no chance of us keeping him here. but thankfully we have mostly what we need anyway.” “Is he really capable of getting through mountain ash walls and glass? Rings of salt surrounding the place? Electronic pulses? Armed guards who will shoot to kill?”The woman asks nervously, he looks up at her, she was staring through the window at caden, I couldn’t even bring myself to look at him“Yes he can break any supernatural barrier because he is not supernatural. He is made of hellfire. When he died hell couldn’t hold him so it spat him back out to
“Don’t worry, don’t worry we will get them back I promise”He says, his voice breathless as he tries to ease my anxiety while shielding his own pain and emotions close to his heart. “Can you show us lilly? I need to see what we are facing?”Caron asks gently, I nod letting everyone crowd around and I show them everything that I remember and more I didn’t even realise I had the memories of. When they pull back they all look like they had seen a ghost, we had all tortured and killed to keep our people safe, some may think we are no better than those who have the kids but I would disagree. In our world the kids are the future, nobody touched the kids, it’s an unspoken rule, no matter what war, fight, arguments or disagreements happen between packs kids are not involved, it’s our most important law. But the humans they have no such laws, they will do anything and kill anyone to get what they want and if that means taking kids and
