The plan was terrible, would soon . I’d never about witches before, but now, leaning against the and trying to get rid of a blinding headache, I realized these women had serious problem with creatures like me.

Everything went wrong soon got out of the .

, and I were suddenly hit with a powerful wave of magic. I saw Christisn reach for his gun but then remembered the twins were there. He lowered it and tried to talk to the witches who had appeared from the shadows. His words didn’t work, and my headache got worse.

I screamed, which made Ivy cry. That seemed to stop them. The witches looked at the kids. Maybe they felt sorry for them.

The woman in the middle stepped forward. Her hair dark and her eyes so grey they looked like empty holes. “One of you comes here, and others follow before we know it,” she said sharply. “There will be big fight. The witches will stay on their side. You should take your kids and .”

I stood up straighter and put the twins behind me. “Please. We don’t want trouble. We’ll leave soon we have him. We understand this is territory,” I continued, trying to sound calm. “We’re not here to trouble. We just want to find Alex and The woman stared me, her cold. “If he entered here, he’s good as dead.”

My heart pounded. “That’s not true. I know he is alive and he wouldn’t hurt anyone.

“You don’t know that,” another witch said, her voice low. “He’s a wild animal. You all are. All you do chaos and bloodshed. You kill because you cannot control your beasts.”

The woman in the middle looked the other witches. They seemed to be discussing something. Finally, she turned back to me. “Because of the children, we’ll give you one chance to leave. If you don’t, we will have no choice I shook my head. “I’m not leaving without The woman’s face hardened. “Then you us no choice Suddenly, the witches began to chant. Their voices were low and powerful, and strange energy filled the air. I heard Sarah growl behind me, and I knew we were in trouble. Before I could a powerful force hit me and I was thrown backward, crashing into the car and everything went .

I opened my eyes with the most painful headache I’ve felt and then my eyes instantly caught . He was unconscious and I struggled to to him but realized I was bound to a chair with chains and I immediately called out to my wolf to break through when I heard a woman’s “Don’t your energy. It’s enchanted. You won’t through.”

I scowled the red–haired woman not liking her mocking tone. “Where my children And my friends?

“Oh, don’t worry about the little ones. We wouldn’t hurt them. Unlike you monsters, hearts and if children hurt or not. Now she turned to Alex as I was telling your friend here, you lot are not welcome. All werewolves that enter our lands will die.”

“Then you waiting for, huh I mocked her tone, “Go ahead and kill us She raised her hand using her annoying headache–inducing spell and I let out a piercing scream which seemed to satisfy her. Just when I thought she was going to my head in half another spoke, Stop , Fiona A woman entered, older but still , with eyes a striking resemblance and .

looked at Alex her softening, then stared me before turning to Fiona, and you do this? I placed him under my protection and you seem to have forgotten that I am the regent here. You answer to me.”

“No,” Fiona shot back, “

you forgotten what when their kind attacked us? Maybe you shouldn’t be regent anymore.”

“I don’t have time for ,” the regent snarled.

The tension in the room thick. I could feel the power struggle between them. I focused on , making sure he okay. He was still unconscious but seemed to be breathing steadily.

1/2 10:57 AM D The regent took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with anger. With a wave of her hand, Fiona knocked unconscious. She turned to us, her gaze softening slightly. “You are she said, her voice filled with a mixture of annoyance and resignation. “I will deal with Fiona later.”

She snapped her fingers again, and this time, the chains binding me loosened. I carefully stood up, stretching my stiff muscles. Alex still unconscious. The regent walked to him and examined him briefly. “He’s just unconscious,” she sighed, her voice filled with relief.“He’ll wake up soon.”

I nodded, relief washing over me. “Thank you for helping us ”

She looked at me, her eyes holding a mixture sympathy and caution, “I did it for him and I have placed only him under my protection. You and your friends are in danger here she warned. “You need to leave.

I hesitated, not wanting to leave Alex alone. But I knew she right. We in enemy territory, and it only a matter of time before the other witches came for us. She couldn’t possibly stop them all.

“We’ll leave but Alex’s eyes flickered open, and as drawn by an invisible cord, his landed directly on me. His expression was filled with relief Silver?” His voice a hoarse whisper.

Without a moment’s hesitation, I rushed to his side and enveloped him in a tight embrace. “You’re okay,” I murmured, my voice trembling slightly.

The regent’s voice sharp and commanding, cut through the air. “You can have your reunion later. Right now, you need to take those kids and leave. I’ll send him back to you once we’ve finished with the spell. If everything goes according to plan, he should get his wolf back.”

tone was urgent, leaving no room for argument.

I glanced between the regent and Alex, confusion swirling in my mind. Alex nodded, his expression resolute. “I’ll be fine,” he assured me, his voice stronger now. “I’m so glad you came, but you need to take the twins and . I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this. I knew it would be dangerous. Christian shouldn’t have brought you here. I have to do this. I need to get my wolf back to protect you. She won’t hurt me.”

I looked back at the regent, her fixed on me, an intensity in her eyes that made me uneasy.

Are you sure she can trust her?”

He gave me a weary smile. “No she wouldn’t hurt her nephew My jaw dropped open in surprise. Nephew A of questions surged through me, but before I could utter single word, the cut through my thoughts once again. “You two can discuss how I’m his mother’s long–lost later. Right now, all you need to leave. Your friends are waiting.”

I stole one last at Alex “I’m still pissed at you,” I managed to say, my voice filled with a mixture anger and worry. I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before turning .

I took Nate’s hand, but when I reached for Ivy, she hesitated. “Ivy let’s go,” I urged, growing impatient. But she stood rooted to the spot, her fixed on something behind me. I turned around to find her staring directly at the regent, who was standing in the doorway.
