Tristan's perspective: I was going to go alone. When I left Mira's house, a memory was trying to be heard. Something odd about the location on the map. I pull it out, staring at the small burn. 'Just move already' Cole growls, ready to rip apart anyone found near the spot. Wait. Back of the pack grounds, pushing the border. Fuck. The burn site. The memory of the story coming fresh to my mind. 'We need to meet, now' I link Aiden, Mira, Layla & Shayne. I feel bad leaving Nathanial out of the loop but I know he'd fight to come. For once it wasn't his safety I was thinking about. It's Armina's and our pups. I need someone who I trust, someone strong to stay by her side. To make sure no one makes it past us and gets to her. The responses come quick, all of us moving to the lower level of the pack house. I'm tense as I throw the map down. Pointing to the burn mark, "There is an old cave on the border" I push my finger down near the burn, watching the confused expressions in the room.

Armina's perspective: It hurts. I knew it was going too. You'd think seeming we feel every single bone in our body break slowly during our first shift that this would be easy. Instead when the contractions come, I'm almost breaking Nathanial's hand as my body screams in agony. It isn't just the physical pain. I know Tristan is out fighting right now. I knew the moment he didn't rush to my side when Nathanial linked him. It's taking all of my will power not to reach out to him, it isn't in my nature to be left at home while the fighting happens. The only thing stopping me is knowing that I would be bringing more stress on my body and right now my body needs to focus on the bigger task at hand. Bringing my beautiful son and daughter into this world. "You are doing amazing baby" Nathanial keeps his voice calm; I meet his blue eyes as the pain slowly fades. "I'm sorry about your hand" I breathe, knowing it must be throbbing by now. He laughs softly, "I'll take the broken hand; you bring

Nathanial's perspective: Something isn't right. I've been trying to link Tristan for over an hour, nothing. I don't even feel the link opening. I can't feel him. I've never felt anything like it. My heart is racing, I'm trying so hard to hide it from Armina as the worst case scenarios keep running through my mind. Is he dead? Surely Armina would have felt it, surely I'd feel it too. Either way I know something is seriously wrong. 'Mira?' I try again, knowing it's no use. 'We're in trouble..' It's almost a whisper but I hear it. 'What's happening?' I almost scream through the link. Needing to know Tristan is okay. Nothing. More silence. "What's going on?" Armina suddenly says, breaking my concentration. I look down at her in my arms, see the sweat coming down her face. Do I lie to her? I know she doesn't need the stress. "Nathanial?" She pushes, I watch her closely. Making my mind up as I see her hesitance and fear. I can't lie to her. I won't. "I can't reach Tristan" I admit, inst

Nathanial's perspective:"Spread out; keep low" I whisper, watching as Connor nods, each wolf following the order; spreading out to cover the entire area. 'Croxus, you ready?' The whole area sending a sickening feeling down to my stomach. 'Always' he growls; as we shift silently. Each wolf follows my lead, each one shredding their human form as we all feel it at the same time. The dark energy coming from the site before us unlike anything I've ever felt before. Whoever this witch is, their power is stronger than anything we've ever felt. I can smell Tristan instantly, relief as I feel his presence. His alive. Thank the moon goddess. Croxus takes a deep breathe as we move, picking up Aiden, Shayne and Mira. Each one of them is alive, right now that's the best news we could have hoped for. 'Tristan's blood' Croxus notes, it isn't too over powering, but clearly his been hurt. The thought of him in that clearing, probably scared and bleeding has Croxus moving faster than we planned. L

Armina's perspective: "Armina!" Tristan's voice yells; I look up; seeing him near the entrance to the cave. My vision barely able to make him out, as I try to fight against the crippling pain. I blink a few times, everything coming into focus. There are large chains locking him down heavily into the stone. "Tristan" I sigh, so happy to see he is still alive. I push myself to focus, noticing the many wolves filling the area. Only Tristan is chained. The rest are unconscious. "His a stubborn one your mate" Cassandra laughs, "His a piece of shit" Leon growls, kicking him roughly in the ribs. I hear the sickening crack of several of his ribs. "Do you feel tough Leon?" Tristan manages to laugh through the pain, Leon reacts quickly, growling as he kicks him hard in the face. Tristan just laughs again, spitting out blood as he glares at him. "I knew you couldn't be a true Alpha" Tristan chuckles darkly. Leon's body changes; his whole body tense as he bends down to Tristan's face. "Oh real
