Zander's POV
It's been a measly week. A freaking week since I last saw Daphne. I've been locked in a room that I have never seen before and it is quite impossible to get out of here. I have no idea how I haven't seen this room before if I have been everywhere in this house.
But, then again, I have never seen the dungeon that my father made me take Daphne to. I really hope she's okay. I only remember bits and pieces of what happened. I only remember grabbing Daphne, like my dad ordered-no transfixed me, and then it went blank. The next thing I remember is he put his hand to the wall and we were going into a dark place with what seemed cells. After a couple seconds, it all went blank again. The next thing I knew, I woke up in this room. This mysterious room.
It seems to be made of a sort of metal that vampires can't break through. Apart from that, it's a normal room. A bed, dresser, a bedside table, etc. I feel that I am still in my house because I feel my father's presence somewhere close to here. The only other thing that is putting me on edge is that I not only feel Daphne's presence, but someone very familiar and very important that's here.
Kat.
They both have had me pacing around this small room trying to think if they're okay amd how I'm going to get them out. I know that my father will not do anything to kill Daph as he wants her for reasons that I don't know myself. Kat on the other hand, has no importance to him. He just sees her as the girl that is the obstacle between power and the one who has stolen my heart.
I don't know what I would do without her. She's always so bright and happy. She brings the light in my dark life. Kat and Daphne are the most important people in my life. It makes me feel powerless and weak that I can't help them now.
Speaking of weak, I feel the room spin and I have to stop pacing to go and sit on the bed. I haven't had much blood in a week and it's really starting to get to me. They have only brung me small amounts of blood to keep me concious but weak enough to fight back. I'm really starting to feel the lack of blood now.
They come every other day to give me blood at the same exact time. When I start to feel dizzy and can barely stand. This time though, I have decided that I will use every ounce of my energy that I have left and will attack the vampire that brings me the blood so I can escape. Maybe go to Arron and ask for help because I will be too weak to help the girls alone.
So its set then. I sit on the bed and try to calm myself to save my energy for when they come. It will be in a few more minutes since the lack of blood is starting worsen.
Soon, I hear the footsteps that are coming this way. I quickly lay in bed and shut my eyes and act that I'm asleep so that I may have an upper hand. I hear the door being unlocked and they open it slowly. I crack open my eyes a little bit to see that it's a young woman. I feel bad that I have to hurt her but, if this is the only way of escaping and helping the others, then this is what I should do.
As she comes closer tp the bed, I spring up and grasp her by the throat. Her eyes widen and she claws at me to let her go but, I hold on tight. She keeps struggling and choking for air but I only tighten my hold. When her body goes limp and her eyes roll to the back of her head is when I let go. I know that she is just passed out and not dead as I feel for her pulse.
By now the room is spinning faster so I grab the bag of blood that she brought and downed it. I instantly felt that I had more energy but it seemed it wasn't going to last long. I was just hoping that it will be enough to go and get help.
I run out the room only to see an unfamiliar hallway. Where am I? I walk further into the hall and see that it is long. I go deeper into the hall to find weird paintings on the walls. I look around and see there's many differnet kinds. Some have geometric shapes, some pictures of non-existant lands, and some with actual people. The last painting at the end of the hall made me stop in my tracks. It was a picture of a beautiful woman that I recognized.
My mother.
She was in a beautiful golf ball gown and crown, fit for a queen. She had little makeup on and was smiling big. There was a small gold label at the bottom of the painting. Queen Yvette Campbell. I looked into her eyes. It's as if they were peering into my soul, speaking to me. She looked as she was trying to convey her love. It's most likely that its just my weakness that is making me hallucinate though. Right?
I pressed my hand against the painting and heard a latch unlock. The painting opened and I backed away. Inside revealed a small lit room. My curiosity getting the best of me, I went inside. It seemed like a volt room. The only things in here were a light that was hanging from the ceiling, a metal volt, and a note stuck to it.
I heard footspes coming this way so I quickly grabbed the note and got out of the room. I closed that painting door thing and went into the shadows of the hallway. I waked closer to the end of the hallway and saw another hallway. In the middle seemed to be a man and so I decided to follow him hoping that he would lead me to an exit or atleast to a part of the house that I know.
He went into a door and I waited outside by the door more than sure that the door led no where. He came out minutes after carrying a box and walked forward. Still trying to be unnoticed by him, I followed as quietly as I could.
He went down another hall, this time I recognized it and went on my way trying hard not to let anyone see me because I don't think I would have the strength to fight them. I reached the door and quickly went into the darkness of the night.

Arron's POV
I was preparing to have another search party so that they may search even farther. I had all ready asked my allies to search as well and they agreed. Allthough we were not like the vampires who had a king and queen ruling us, there were still some packs that had more power over others and I'm proud to say that mine is one of them. Which meant we had many allies as well as enemies.
By now though, the word had gotten around that there was going to be a war between species. One of the largest war of the centuries. The war between vampires and werewolves. The fight that will show what species gets to live. For me, I have no problem with vampires if they don't have problems with me. To me this war is pointless. The king made it personal though when he took Daphne so now I will fight. For my mate. For my pack and werewolf kind.
"Get ready and make sure to stay in the borders but make sure to search the whole south west side!" I ordered them.
"Yes Alpha!" they all said in unison.
I had the best trackers in the pack go and try to find Daphne while I stayed here and sent the groups that came back to other places while also having meetings with the other Alphas about war tactics. I'll admit I was beyond exhausted and had barely anything to eat but I decided that I wasn't going to rest until she was found.
I was going through some papers when I heard a series of fast knockings on my door.
"Come in," I said looking up from the papers.
I was surprised to see a paler than usual Zander come flying in.
"Daphne and Katherine need help!" he yelled taking in large gulps of breath.
Before I could respond, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell forward. I felt a small spark of hope spring into my chest as I knew he was my last hope to finding Daphne. the only problem is that I need him awake. I needed to till he woke up. Wait with time that I didn't have.
