ALPHA GIOVANNI POVAfter a couple more days I make my way back to the MoonBlood clan, the travelling merchants have moved on but I find the caravan that belonged to the witch the elder told me to have fun with was still just outside the town, I move it a little further so it is just inside the woods and can’t be seen. I may be able to make use of it at some stage, it will save me from having to rent a room in the town.I stay in the shadows and watch. Alpha Santiago should be getting here soon. I quickly notice that since no one knows that the Royal family is in town, their guard patrols and the guards on Isabella, and are very limited. I think back to when we were first following Isabella as she joined the prince and princess.The prince must have some way to block her link with her mate or family. So I make my way back to the little house they were staying in and had another look around, I spotted something that wasn’t there the day we came close to catching Isabella and that was a

SCARLETT POVI can't believe I am here again, fighting to open my heavy eyes. That sedative the Doc gave me must have been really strong. I try to move, only to hear a soft male's voice."Scarlett, don't move, you need to rest.." "Griffin??" "Yes, your highness..." I look around unfocused in a small panic again "Relax, everyone knows..." I don't listen to him this time as I sit up quickly and face him. I put my hand to my head as I ask."How??? When?? Why?" "Alpha Sawyer had no choice after you made everyone in the pack go to their knee as I ran past them to bring you here. Even the doc had to fight going to her knee to give you the sedative... You were in too much pain for you and your vampire to handle, so you were sending out waves of power, Royal power!"I'm not sure I want to know as Cara is very quiet in my head but I ask him, anyway"What caused the pain?" "I don't think that is my place to tell you... The doc should do...." "Griffin please!" "The pain was caused by a m

ALPHA GIOVANNI POVOnce Santiago arrives, I share with him the news of finally catching Isabella for him and show him where she still lay tied and unconscious to the bed in the witch's caravan. I smile as I see him smirk and an evil glint passes through his eyes. He goes to step towards her when I put a hand on his arm and say, "I know you want some of her, but we have other things to take care of first. The two kings and the princes have already left. We head to Crystal Lake first as Alpha Emmett contacted me, saying some of his scouts have seen that vampire prince and the rogues he is travelling with, heading his way and to keep his business. We need to head there and help protect his pack." "Okay... But I want to have her when that is all done!!" "You can as soon as we have the princess... I have a plan to get her as well!" I don't elaborate on what that plan is, a

SCARLETT / CARA POVI fight the heaviness in my mind as I once again overcome the drug that was used on me. I move my hand to my head and rub it a bit. I then notice the chain. I follow it with my eyes and land on the cuff on my wrist. I sigh and look at my other wrist to confirm that there is one on that one, too. It just doesn’t seem fair. I just get free and actually lay my eyes on my mate for the first time in twenty years and here I am back as someone else's prisoner.I move up into a sitting position and look around. There isn’t much in here other than the military-style cot I am sitting on. Now if I was naked and not still wearing my pants and blouse, it would bring back bad memories of the prison cells Charlotte and I were held in, not that the memory of that didn’t flash before my eyes anyway, making me shiver.I then look at the cuffs on my wrists again, they are silver with something coating the

RYKER POVAfter losing Isabella's trail, Christopher became very agitated pacing and howling in my head, making it very hard to concentrate on anything, so even if I wanted to use our gift to try to find her he was not calm enough to allow me access to it. That is when I hear a soft and familiar voice. "Ryker, you must calm yourself..." I turn at the sound of my Grandmother's voice "Grandmother, what are you doing here? I thought Grandfather was still against you travelling?" "Well, yes, but there are some things that he can not do, but I can." "They took her Grandmother, they took Isabella, they took my mate. I think they may have even taken mother as well!" she wraps me in her arms, giving me a tight hug before stepping back "And let me guess you are trying to use your gift to find her?" "Yes, but it isn't
