***Lucas

My hand reached out and patted empty space on Mia’s side of the bed. Generally, I would feel the warmth of her growing belly next to me this early in the morning. Especially now that she had been sleeping in longer.

I sniffed the air... nothing recent from her. I couldn’t pick up her mind-link either. How could she be out of range? Maybe she went on a run, I thought to myself. But why so early?

I threw on some pants and flew down the stairs. Jacob and Adam were standing outside on the

    ***LucasI burst through the door. There she was. My angel... my love in Lily's form on all fours. The witch pushed herself from the floor, face seething with an inhumane hatred. Whatever Lily and Mia had done to her had royally pissed her off. Never had I seen the woman stunned like this before.Lily’s snowy white fur stood on end. She sneered and snarled, crossing the room as she guarded her little sisters. The girls whimpered behind her, still tied to their chairs, watching as the chaos unfolded.I motioned to the men, before saying, “Get them out of here. Now. They don't need to see what's about to happen.” My father’s lip twitched, brows bending in impatience."You dare go against me? You disloyal shits... ingrates! All that I've done for you all," he growled. But my men were void of any sympathy... at least to him. He of all people had shown no mercy and now he wanted loyalty after all that he had done, all the innocent people he had slain."And you..." he glowered at me in dis

    ***MiaShe slithered in front of me, eyes blazing bright. Her hood was gone this time. The blemishes cleared her pale body, but the hunger in her gaze... she was greedy for more. A need that would never be satiated. And if the King allowed it, she would take me tonight. Her talisman hung from her neck as she edged towards me. I never noticed before, but it radiated and glowed upon touching her skin.The King’s heavy footsteps followed behind. As our eyes met, his jaw clenched, visibly angered. He pushed my chin to the side, growling as he saw my mated marks. He gripped my throat and hot rage poured from his gritted teeth. I tensed as his hand slid down, roughly grabbing at my sensitive breasts.“You are more trouble than you’re worth. Every pack is outside my walls but there’s no way in. They will pay for their disloyalty. Once I’m through with you and that boy... I’ll finish all of them off,” he sneered. His one eye burned with cold hatred. I could see the pierced canines, on the ver

    ***Lucas"Everyone! Move out!” I hastened, urging them on. We dropped the cars off about 20 miles back and our wolves ran the remaining miles to the cabin, just outside of range. We already killed three scouts on the way in. Dax’s fury was no match for any warrior, old or novice, that made the mistake of stopping us. Any sympathy had long burned out once he learned his mate was in danger.“What’s wrong?” Thiago asked, eyes tired and worrisome. His hands rubbed against the back of his neck.“She screamed for me," I murmured, avoiding his gaze. "It wasn’t a physical pain. But something... wicked. I’m sure they did something sick and sadistic. Only our father and that bitch could think up.” I walked away, pensive, pinching my brow.The headaches were in high gear now. The throbbing in my temples were nonstop since I awoke to find her missing. It was partly the anxiety and fear of what he would do to her. But the other half was the mate bond. Mia was literally my other half. She was now a

    ***MiaI felt the dull ache of a recent shift, grinding against my bones. But when did I shift? And where was I? An orange blood red sunset fell on my naked body as I looked around, the soft prickle of grass under my hands. I stood before an open clearing near a paved road, dirt sticking to my bloody feet. In front of me, giant erect iron gates towered, reaching for the sky.Oh, Goddess... the High Moon gates!I shot around and there they were, the King and his Red Witch. Waiting. Watching. Four warriors marched behind in the distance.I shook my head, pushing back on my heels. "No, no, no!" I yelled. Dread choked the back of my throat, like a dogged leash tight around my neck.“Run!” I heard Lily yell in the back of my head. And before I blinked, my feet were sprinting to the forest line. The earth roared under me, the quaking floor knocking me off balance. I stiffened when suddenly vines tore up through the surface. I gasped in terror and ran as towering green tentacles reached and

Jacob and Adam were standing outside on the front patio. “Did you see Mia this morning?” I asked, hastily, pulling on a shirt.Jacob answered first, “She went straight to woods. Said she needed to run.”“What time? How long has she been gone?” I was almost yelling now. They exchanged a nervous glance.“Maybe 6am,” Adam replied. I checked my watch... 7:25am.“Neither of you thought to tell me?!!!” I stormed back into the house. My head was spinning, my fists clenching, ready to punch anything in my way.“Thiago! Mia is missing!” I mind-lin

    ***Mia"They’re here,” Lucas called out from the porch. Giddy, I ran through the front door, beaming as I saw my mother for the first time, Alpha Oliven following right behind her. My siblings raced towards me, excitement splashed across their faces. I darted down the stairs and embraced my mother. We wrapped our arms around one another and sobbed, happy tears, as Lucas looked on at the joyous reunion.I pawed at her face, kneading her cheeks. Dark circles lined her eyes; new wrinkles creeping deep into her forehead. But still she smiled from ear to ear as she inspected me. Safe and unharmed. I embraced the twins, one in each arm. Madeline and Erica had grown, both almost taller than me now. The boys looked solemn, worrisome. I dropped to my knees and squeezed all three.Gabe, the youngest of the bunch, stood teary-eyed and finally, buried his face in my lap. I squeezed him tight but then turned him to face me. “Hey... I'm ok. Look at me. Nothing's wrong,” I eased him softly, dabbing
