I was already running before I even knew what I was doing, my feet carried me through the winding corridors, and past the startled servants and confused guards, toward the source of the shout.

Too Late To Claim Me 116. The Almost Fall
"Mummy." My son screamed.Time slowed to a crawl before my eyes.I saw Caelum's body as he slipped sideways, the ropes that had held him was now dangling uselessly from the tilting post. His small hands reach out, and grasps at air, his eyes were wide with terror. It was as if the edge of the roof was rushing toward him, and the four-story drop beyond it.And then I saw him.Remus.He came from nowhere, his body was a blur of motion as he launched himself across the trembling rooftop with his hand reaching forward to catch Caelum's wrist just as the boy began to fall, his was grip tight and desperate."I've got you!" Remus shouted, his voice was strained with effort. "I've got you, little one!"But the roof was still shaking, and the stones had begun to crack and shift beneath our feet. I watched helpless as Remus's footing slip, and saw him lurch toward the edge, then Caelum's small body swing out over the abyss."No!" I screamed, and started running across the trembling rooftop to

My whole world narrowed down to a single, horrifying point.Caelum. My son. My baby. He was tied to the edge of the roof that's four stories above the ground, his small body swayed in the wind like just like a leaf that's about to be torn from its branch."Mommy," he called again, and his voice, that sweet, innocent voice of my little boy that had laughed with joy over building blocks and bedtime stories was trembling with terror."Mommy, help me. Please."I don't even remember when I moved. I only remember that I was running. One moment I was standing at the window, frozen by fear, and the next moment, I was running through the corridors, my feet was barely touching the ground, and my heart was pounding so violently that I thought it would burst out from my chest."ARIA, STOP!"I heard Marcus's voice from behind me, but I didn't stop. How can I stop when my son was out there, dangling in the air and can fall to his death at anytime. My son was in a mortal danger and every second th

My heart stopped.I was already running before I even knew what I was doing, my feet carriedme through the winding corridors, and past the startled servants and confused guards, toward the source of the shout."Aria, wait!" Marcus was behind me, but I didn't bother to slow down. I couldnot bear to. I had to get there and seefor myself.The voice had come from the east wing it's the oldest part of the compound, that had been built by my grandfather's grandfather, it's the part that had been sealed off years ago and has been left to gather dust and decay.I burst through the door at the end of the corridor and found myse

MagicThey had used magic to hide their trail, and cloak their presence. That's the reason they were able to take my son without leaving a single clue behind."Ms. Hart?" Theron's voice cut through my thoughts."Should we inform the seer?"I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came out. What do I have to say? What could I have possibly said?I stood there in the courtyard with my feet rooted to the ground, while my mind refused to process what I just thought about and what Theron said.There's no tracks or trail. In short, my child is no where to be found."Ms. Vance?" Theron's voice sounded tentative now, uncertain. "should we inform the seer?"I really wanted to answer. To say something... anything but the words were lodged in my throat and trapped behind the wall of terror that had risen up so high inside me.No tracks.No trail.Simply a definition of no hope."Aria." Marcus's hand was on my arm, his grip on me was firm and he was shaking me now."Aria, look at me."I turned

The walk to the packhouse took the longest time. Even though I am sure it wasn't upto ten Minutes. It felt lile it.And I felt like I was doing a death march.Every step I took, I got the feeling of it being a countdown to my own destruction. The presence of Marcus walking beside me was supposed to feel calming and reassuring, but even he couldn't calm the storm that was raging inside me.I had spent almost six years building walls and creating a new identity, I built a new life, a new self that had nothing to do with that girl who had been rejected and cast out. And now, in a matter of hours, my world was crumbling before my eyes.Caelum. My baby. My sweet, brave, wonderful little boy.Where was he? Was he scared? Goddess. He must be do scared. He didn't eat breakfas. Was he hurt? Maybe he's calling out for me right now and wondering why his mummy hadn't come to save him?Those thoughts were like a thousand knives twisting in my chest, and I had to physically stop walking for a mome

I need you to help me. I need you to help me to find my son."He nodded, his jaw set. "Tell me what you need."I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't, nothing came out.What did I need? All I needed is my son back in my arms. I needed to rewind time and never have brought him to this cursed place. Goddess. This is a nightmare I needed to wake up from."I don't know Marcus," I whispered, as my voice cracked. "I don't know what I need. I need anything. Everything. I just need you to help me find my son."Marcus reached for my hands and took them in his. His palms were warm, and they anchored me back to reality when all I wanted to do was dissolve into the chaos that was consuming me."We will," he said. "But Aria, I think we should inform the Alpha.""What?""The Alpha needs to know what's going on. Even though I'm the Beta now, I'm still new to the pack. so I don't have access to the authority or the resources to coordinate a full-scale search. The Alpha does. He can mobilize every
