"Has anybody seen Charlie? He was supposed to be back four days ago" Lucas says as he sees that one of his best guards hasn't been back from a search party. Links had been everywhere that he had to turn it off. "I don't know man but I'm worried now. I'll send a small pa-" Carlos begins. Charlie runs in. "My King, My king!" Charlie yells. Lucas sniffs and gets the scent of his beloved on Charlie. "Have you found my beloved!" Lucas asks, happy, but worried. Charlie begins explaining the whole story and finally, Lucas asks the question everyone has been dreading to ask. "Do you know where she is?" He asks. "Yes, my King... but she told me to tell you to let her go. She said she didn't want any of us in any harm. She said to let her go and try and be happy" Charlie bows down.
"I'm not leaving her with that fool! Where is she?" Lucas orders. "They're in an abandoned warehouse by the Draconian Marsh. In three days... she will be taken to the pack house she was born in so he can..." Charlie looks down, anger flowing through his veins at the thought of some bastard hurting his queen. "Don't you dare finish that sentence" Lucas orders. "Lucas, you should wait until the day. The bastard will be too excited to be ready. He'll put his guard down. We must pull all the search parties back. We have to have a super secretive meeting with the supernatural world leaders to discuss this and plan the attack. End with that bastard, once and for all" Alex says.
"You're right. Contact everyone and tell them to back off the search, to retreat back to their homes and rest. Jane! Contact the Kings, Queens, Lords, Ladies, Madames, Ministers. I want them in the meeting room in one hour! Charlie, don't let anyone see you. To those cowards, you're dead" Lucas begins ordering, his mood rising at soon being able to see his beloved. He caresses the ring inside his jean pocket. "Yes, my King. It's good to be back" Charlie says.
"It's good to have you back. How... How was she?" Lucas asks. "She was... not very well. But... well, I won't say in case someone can hear but... I believe she'll be okay" Charlie confesses. "Thank you," Lucas says. With that, Charlie leaves discreetly and Lucas goes to the throne room where the place his Queen is supposed to be seated. Tyler, Tj, Turner, Trevor, and Troy walk into the throne room, followed by the girls. "Father? We smelled her scent" Trevor says.
"Charlie, the missing guard was taken where she was and he escaped. She told him to and now he knows where she is. In three days, he plans to take her to the pack house... and force her to... mate him" Their father confesses. (They had finally learned what that meant by someone and to say they wouldn't speak for a week was a total and full understatement) "We won't let that happen! Mom will not suffer through that!" Turner yells. "You're right son. Don't worry, we will kill that bastard who took your mother" Luke says. "We might be young but, yes father. We will train and k-" Troy begins but their father cuts him off.
"No. You will be home with those who don't fight. I'm not risking one of you being kidnapped and used to his advantage" Lucas orders. They nod and along with the girls, they leave. In their minds, plotting on ways to search for their mother their own way.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, we are sure you must be wondering why we detained every search party for the missing Queen. We have received information that the queen is abducted in a warehouse right next to the Draconian Marsh. She is in the basement tied by chains and has wolfsbane injected to her" Carlos explains. "Then why haven't any of my demons been able to trace her?" Lord Tyler, Master of Demons says.
"Sir, we believe we all may have traitors that have kept them off the radar," Lucas says. "Grin have no traitors! Grin no fool!" Grin, King of Giants refuses. "Nobody is saying you are, you illiterate fool!" The leader of Fae, Madame Sunil says as she rolls her eyes. "Now, don't be mean Sunil! He is just trying to protect his people. No one wants what King Lucas said to be true" Queen Denise, leader of mermaids says softly. "Denise is right but we must face the fact that what King Lucas said is true" Lord Giles, commander of reapers says.
"Olga? Is any of this true? You oracles like to keep your secrets" Head of Elves, Clark snides. "He's right. You and the Elder Oracle always keep the things to yourself. If we can help Alpha Summers we must" Headmistress Welsha, speaks for the first time since ever. "Welsha is correct. All we've done for a while now is help! If you know anything, speak up woman!" Lord Deacon, Welsha's husband and lord of wizards, yells. "Uh perhaps we sh-" Alex tries to calm them down. "Talk! Olga keep Secrets! Olga must help. We all help!" Lord Grin yells. "Well, Olga?" Lady Serena, leader of the beautiful sirens says for the first time since the meeting. It was chaos.
They all stare at the mistress of oracles. "All I can say is that if you don't rescue her the day before the mating, she will be dead. The Wolf is growing impatient. Soon, he will take control of Kyle and mate, no matter what. He is too broken. He needs to be healed. Forgiveness. She must forgive. That's all, I've said too much already. You may hate me now but as an Oracle, and more specifically the leader, I can't reveal everything. I'm sorry King Lucas, but I will tell you this... If you succeed, you will settle down. Tell Tyler I wish him and his siblings good luck" Lady Olga says.
The Oracle looks sadly at them one last time before turning and disappearing. The others begin to speak about her cowardice. "Please. Stop, it is not time to fight. It is time to find out what we can do to get her. We will practice today and the morning. We will march in the afternoon. We must stay hidden. I ask that you bring 15 of your most trusted men and women. No one else may know of what we plan. Is that understood?" Lucas says. Everyone accepts and the meeting ends. Everyone leaves to gather fifteen of their most trusted personnel and Lucas and Alexander do the same.
"I'm going with you," Janelle says.
"Me too and there is no stopping us," Jennifer says. Lucas sighs and nods. He leaves them to begin to head out to practice. Lucas closes the door and sits in the chair. "I'm going to get you back Alexandria, no matter what. After this I'm not letting you get hurt ever again, I promise" Lucas says. Jane knocks on the door and Lucas says he'll be there in a minute. He grabs the picture of Alexandria sitting on the desk and kisses it before leaving the study to practice to kill.

-Third-person POV-
"We'll be going tomorrow? I thought we were moving on the day. Just so she could rest and the things would be ready" Richard asks. This could ruin everything! "Well we had a change of plans," Kyle says defensively, not knowing what the hell was wrong with his Beta. "I understand sir, but I want this to be perfect for you. You are my Alpha and I want you to be my son-in-law the right way, even if it's her" Richard says, trying to compliment him so he doesn't notice. "You're right. We'll leave the morning after tomorrow so we can rest when we get there in the mid-morning to attend at night" Kyle says, happy.
Her father nods and Kyle leans in to kiss her but she spit on his face and he slaps her before leaving for whatever he is leaving for. Her dad goes to speak but she shushes him. She realizes the wolfsbane is wearing off and she immediately senses someone outside the door. She motioned with her eyes to the door and he nods. He inserts a small amount of wolfsbane which will only decrease her capability to heal quickly and to be slow and not very good in combat but her senses still work. He empties the rest of the wolfsbane into a small vile which he stores in his shoe and she smiles. She senses the wolf still there and she nods. He mouthes an apology.
"I don't know how you're my daughter. You are a disgrace to me. You slut, I am only caring for you because of my wonderful Alpha who wishes to keep you as his!" He yells. He slaps her. She winces and begins crying. As soon as they both sense the person has left, he apologizes lowly and tells her he loves her very much. She nods slowly and her tears wind down. He smiles lightly before leaving her alone. She sighs and begins trying to get comfortable in the position she was in. She hesitates before trying to contact her wolf.

"Dulce?" She says softly. "hmm?" She hears her softly says. "Dulce! Are you okay?" She asks, worried. "A bit drowsy. Close your eyes to fake you're asleep" She says.

-Alexa's POV-
I close my eyes and begin hearing others speak. I hear the creak of the door and I slightly spot an Omega with a knife. I close my eyes again and I move slightly. I wait another second before screaming as loud as I can. The omega shuts my mouth and runs for it. I look and realize it's Taylor. I motion for her to hide behind a bunch of things and she leaves the knife somewhere. My dad comes in and asks what's wrong. I make a motion. "I'm sorry... I... saw a spider?" I say softly. I make another motion with my eyes. He gets it. "You bothered me for nothing!? I should slap you! You're just lucky the Alpha wants you to look your best in two days" He yells. He smiles softly quickly and then puts a scowl on his face as he leaves. Taylor comes out.
"What are you doing here?" I ask. "Well I was trying to help you escape but that didn't turn out well. I'm a spy. I work for the council. We have to get you out now" Taylor says. "No, I'm not going anywhere. This is for my mate and my family. Now leave, before I scream again" I command. "You are making a huge mistake but fine. I'll be watching" Taylor says. With that, she runs out of the room and I stay there as lonely as I'll be, for the rest of my life, because the goddess knows I'll die before being broken like a rag doll by this stupid pack ever the fuck again.
