“How strong is this amulet?” I ask looking at Arianna.
“Let’s just say, if this amulet got in to the wrong hands, thousands could die. This is dangerous magic and because Cayden is the first of the vampire kind, he needs it to bring a child in to this world. That’s how strong he is, that’s how strong the curse goes. A whole coven cursed his mother but she was powerful enough to survive him growing inside of her and using the last of her powers to allow him a little bit of happiness. Shadow was a force on her own, it is impressive.” Arianna says to us.
“Anthony!” Sabrina screams out and within minutes, dear old brother shows up.
“Get Evan and have him give you the amulet I took from the vampire king. Guard it with your life and do not, I repeat, do not tell mom and Hunter. This stays between us as siblings.” Sabrina says and Anthony looks confused but he nods his head yes and walks in to the castle.
“Ok, Arianna I need you to stay here. If the amulet leaves the castle then there will be trouble. I need you to be able to track the magic, can you do that?” Sabrina asks and Arianna nods her head yes.
“Cj you can stay with your mate. Josey, we need to see Cherisse and figure out what Cayden’s plan is. I’m not going to use these ear pieces, if somebody uses compulsion on me, you find a way to break it or kill them. Don’t hold back.” Sabrina tells me and I hold her hand as we disappear.
Landing back on vampire grounds. We were standing right in front of the castle or what was left of it.
It was burned to the ground, no sign of life. Anywhere.
“Took you long enough, my queen.” Cherisse says as I turn around when I felt a presence.
“You bring company. You are definitely a wolf.” Cherisse says with bitter disgust in her face and tone looking at Sabrina.
“What happened here Cherisse?” I ask and she just smiles at me.
“We moved. Can’t have the traitor queen know of our plans. What you should be worried about, is not the state of this castle or your position but your pack. Did you really think we wouldn’t come for yours after you came for ours?” Cherisse says too proudly. Sabrina walks up to her, snaps her neck and throws her over her shoulder.
“We won’t get anything done listening to her. We go back to your pack and if they are not in danger, we take measures to protect them. Okay?” Sabrina says to me but I don’t respond.
Were my mates under attack again? When they were kidnapped Cayden made sure nobody else got hurt. They were in and out without detection, kidnapping two alphas and not one person knowing it happened.
Now it was happening again.
Sabrina grabs my hand, which shakes me out of my head and I nod my head yes at her. We leave the vampire castle, arriving back on pack lands, my pack lands.
Chaos was the word of the day.
The sun was up so there was no way in hell that vampires would do this. This was the work of werewolf hunters, the same ones that kidnapped my mates and almost got away with it.
Today, they will not live to see the end of the day.
I run, inhumanely so using my vampire speed, in to the field. Knowing my mates, they would place themselves right in the middle of danger, to save and protect the pack.
And right in the middle were my mates but they were not alone. My mates were on their knees surrounded by men carrying guns and behind them were two males, holding knives on the necks of my two mates.
It was as if the hunters knew I would arrive at that exact moment before slitting their throats.
A scream escaped my lips as I looked in horror, my mates falling on the grass. They were losing so much blood and I stood frozen in place.
Sabrina runs to their aid, a gust of wind throwing the hunters far off from my mates before she released balls of fire on hunters that were close by. Each hunter bursting in to flames and screaming in agony.
She placed her hands on each of my mates necks, her eyes closed and then I snapped.
My mates were dying. My pack was dying and I will not sit here and just watch. I will save my kind to the end!
I look at my mates one last time as Sabrina tries to heal them and run off to fight off the threat.
I choose to trust Sabrina to save my mates. It was now up to me to save my pack and I will do just that, I will slaughter every hunter here and those that run. It was now up to me to save my pack.
