“I will not bear your child! I will never!” I whispered through gritted teeth.
Elon looked taken aback for a second, then he laughed hard like he find my words amusing.
“Shhh. You are mine now, kitten. I’ll make sure you’ll have my pup inside you.” he held my face hard on his grip that my jaw was hurting. Tears pooled on my eyes but I kept a straight face, my eyes narrowed at him and if only my hands are not tied and I’m not weak, I’ll make sure to scratch that evil smile off his face!
“Feisty. I like it. You aroused me even more.” he took his tongue and licked the tears rolling down my cheeks.
My stomach churns and I almost puke as I tried and turn my head away from him. I did freed from his grip and his smile grew larger.
“Aiden will come for me.” I snarled at him. I knew he will. He’ll come for me.
Please come for me.
I thought Elon would be angered but his expression turned to somewhat playful shocked, forming his mouth in an ‘O’ like I’ve said something impossible.
“Oh, darling, don’t you know? Your mate has underestimated me and he’ll die by my hands. I promise.” he laughed and turned his back on me.
I spat on the floor when I taste my blood from the insides of my cheeks, probably from his grip.
I watched him wave at me as he closes the door, laughing as he shut the door of the room.
Aiden’s POV
I can feel the process of losing my shit every fu*cking minute.
My wolf howls and cries inside me and I kept controlling my mind in order to stop joining him. Though I’m dying. Inside, I’m burning with a heat that is not from a haze but with immediate immobilization and death.
‘Get my mate baaack!!!’
‘Shut up! Shut the fu*ck up!’
‘I’ll kill that old man, I’ll kill anyone who’ll get in our way. Get her back!’
We could. That’s possible. I’m not scared of dying, I never was. I want her back, I need to save her. I got to save Ashira.
I ran my fingers through my hair. I’ve been in our bedroom, waiting, thinking, what am I doing here? I should save her.
‘Let’s go now.’
Yeah, yeah, you’re right. I need to move now. I’ll attack him and kill him. That’s easy. I can win over Elon, I’m stronger.
NO!
‘LISTEN TO ME!’
‘NO!’
This is not a joke. Yes, I could attack with my pack but I’m risking a lot of lives against the enemy. And if I was killed, there’s no hope on saving Ashira, at all.
No, Elon won’t kill her. He’ll want her alive or else he holds nothing against me. I can still fell our bond though I couldn’t reach her.
She’s alive. And that is what matters.
‘What if he’s hurting her?!’ my wolf is getting angry, more as hours passes. But who doesn’t? I am too. I do, too. But I need to think, calm and clear my head.
For now, I need to trust Ashira. Our connection is beyond the mate bond, she won’t be stolen as quick as Elon would want to.

“Where’s Jacob?” I asked Nick as I look at the screen where the two Alpha looked back to me with hardened expression.
“He got business to attend but he’s nearby. He already know and agreed alliance with us. He’ll be here at dawn and he called to his pack, Shadow pack’s army will arrive tomorrow evening.”
I nodded.
“I’m sorry to disturb your evening, David, Aros.” They nodded but didn’t speak. They are letting me talk and that’s what I need right now. “I don’t have much time and I ask for this meeting to confirm your alliance with my pack. My mate was taken by Elon, she’s carrying our pup but she’s not aware of it yet.” I sighed when my body trembled with the thought.
I don’t know how far the pup can protect Ashira like how Zynia said, but what I feared was for both their life to be harmed once Elon found out about it.
I shook my head, trying to concentrate.
“I need more troops to fight against Ravenous and I need it fast. Can I rely to the both of you?”
“Regal pack is always on your side.” David confirmed.
“Trivian sides with the good pack. I’m with you. But Ravenous is a small pack, their shifters are half of yours. Less, based on the reports. Why do you need more army to fight?” Aros asked.
“Elon made a pact with some rogues at the Valley, and some from the North. He was doing these illegal activities behind us, preparing for this day so he could start a war against my pack.”
“Bloody hell.” David groaned.
“That sly! Where is the high council in times like this? This is a direct serious breakage of the rules.”
“We know we can’t rely on the high council alone, so I’m asking for your help, lend me the strength I needed to win this war.”
Both of them nodded.
“How many are your experienced soldiers, David?”
“The veterans on my pack is around two-hundred, and one-hundred improved fighters. The rest are beginners but they went under special training, almost a hundred, too.”
“I only need the best of yours. I can’t risk lives of innocent wolves and ruin the future of your packs.”
“I understand. I’ll lend two-hundred and fifty army.” he answered with a nod.
“When can I expect your arrival?”
“Tomorrow. Evening.”
Regal pack is just twelve hours away by vehicle and due to the time he gave, I’m guessing he’s not letting his pack run on their wolf form. That would decrease the time by half if they will. And that’s a good idea than to exhaust them before a fight.
I nodded at him and turned to Aros.
“How about you, Aros?”
“Since that’s how you’d like this to operate, I got three-hundred veterans but expect us the day after tomorrow, at dawn.”
Trivian pack is the farthest pack from the Prime.
