Frank Darwin’s POV I was furious all the time. I was winning in the war against the shifters. I had the royal couple where I wanted them but I wasn’t happy. My wife was being held prisoner by those sickening monsters. They had better not lay a hand on my Crissy. I paced the secluded wooded area just outside Jadeville. I was away from the direction of the pack lands and the mansion. They never even think to look for me in the south. The only person who knew where I lived was the fae Prince. I didn’t trust him at all but I needed his fae magic. The fact that he had his own agenda was of no consequence to me. I would enact my revenge on those who had cost me everything. My coven, my family, and now my wife. They would all pay. I would rid the world of the shifters and enjoy every moment while they suffer. I continued to pace until I felt the fae walking closer to me. I hoped he had some sort of news about my wife. Maybe by now he would know the weak link between the king and queen. I wa

Rain’s POV A single tear slipped down my cheek as I paced inside my bedroom. The plan was working so far but the price of success was very high. Inside the mansion I have used my magical powers to build a bond with each person living here. I knew the moment death happened in the dungeon. I also knew who the murders are and where they are. The evil fae prince had just freed Crissy and walked back inside the mansion. He is making his way upstairs to appear innocent of the crimes he has committed. Anger and hatred boiled inside me and swirled in my soul along with sadness at the loss of Kit and Hart. I stopped pacing, knowing it was almost time to get myself kidnapped. I missed my mate so much. The empty feeling in my chest was growing. I mind linked Mack and let him know to check the dungeon, even though I knew what he would find there. I decided to dress myself comfortably in a black tee shirt and black jeans. I opted for my running shoes instead of my boots. I had no idea what I was g

Rain’s POV Sleep wouldn’t come no matter how hard I wished it would. I even at one point tried stretching my aching body out flat on the floor of my cell. My fathered stared constantly at me. I crawled to the bars and looked deeply into his eyes. I searched for his dragon fire within his eyes. Sadness welled up from my soul. I knew he was in there and he was trying to find me but there just wasn’t a good enough connection in his mind to reach me. I pulled myself up off the floor as my father turned and wrapped his arms around my mother. I just wanted to hold on to them both and never let go again. I knew after I freed them and fixed their minds we would be a happy family again. I paced the small length of my cage like cell. I wanted my treasure. I missed my mate and being away from him was like pure torture to my soul. Light footsteps could be heard descending the stairs. I knew Crissy was coming but I wasn’t sure what for. Maybe to rub in my face the fact that I was now the prisone

Selwyn’s POV Time was crawling by as I counted the minutes until dawn. I felt the need to rush this final act so I could reclaim my mate. Every second we spent apart was like torture to my soul and to Maxim who was again howling in my mind. I glanced again at the clock beside the bed and knew I couldn’t lay here another minute. I threw the blanket back and sat up. I placed my feet on the floor and stood up stretching my tired muscles. I did my morning routine quickly and dressed in my usual black clothes and boots. Then I headed downstairs to find food and wait for Rod to wake up. I walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a few of the packs omegas who worked in the pack house as maids. I nodded a greeting and took a cup of coffee from a young omega. I wasn’t in the mood for company so I made my way to the office. I sipped the hot coffee and began to make my plan for the final act to come. As I thought of how I needed to arrive all casual at the mansion and then become surprised

Rain’s POV I awoke startled and sore. I felt a small ripple in my magic and quickly checked on my sleeping dragon Reya. My precious dragon was still softly snoring in the back of my mind. I gazed around the dungeon and noticed that my parents and the elder wolves were still asleep. I wasn’t sure what the ripple in my magic meant but I needed to use the energy from Crissy to get us out of here this morning. I had no idea what time it was but it felt very early. I used a small amount of magic to see if Frank was upstairs or not. Lucky for us he wasn’t in the house. I quietly teleported myself out of my cell and walked to the cat man’s cell. He was wide awake and looking uncomfortable in all those chains. I looked deep into his yellow eyes and knew that he was going to be a huge help to me. I knew I would save him at any cost along with the others. I had promised him I would and I always kept my word. I teleported inside his cell and walked close to him and leaned next to his ear sa
