Chapter She's Missing
Third Person POV
Clattering is heard throughout the camp where Selene had left the pack. Everyone begins awakening. Little by little members of the pack begin to exit their tents and join the rest already outside.
Rebecca herself is getting ready to go and talk to Selene, and ask her what their next move will be. The sun has not yet fully risen, but a few are already packing and gearing up for the battle they have been awaiting.
A few howlings are heard, startling Rebecca, though she's been around wolves for so long, she still can'tget used to their sudden howls. She turns quickly and exits her small tent. "Rebecca! Selene." A guard pants, running to her side.
"What's gotten into you boy? Where's my daughter? What about her?" She looks past him towards the direction of Selene's tent.
"She's-" He begins, and another guard along with a few warriors that stood guard at her door join them.
"Selene is missing!" They yell, making heads turn and gasps are heard throughout the camp.
"What? This can't be!" She runs to the tent, harshly moving the drapes to the side. Inside the tent, a small blanket and a water cantine are the only things left. No Selene, no armour, no sword.
She gasps and turns, averting her eyes throughout the camp. She hangs her head, nervously, unbelieved, and unable to comprehend why she would suddenly disappear.
"Notify the two men she came with. Caleb and James, they may be able to answerwhere she may have disappeared to." She gestures one of the guards, but they remain composed and glancing between them.
"What else have you not told me?" She demands them to speak, placing her hands on her waist.
"Both Caleb and James are missing as well Rebecca." One of the warrior's notifies her. Her eyes widen, and heart raising to a million per second.
"Does Christy know?" She questions and turns to the sound of Christy's voice.
"I'm afraid so Becca. Now, care to tell me how in the hell, did a bunch of well trained- professionals like yourselves were unaware that our Luna and two other men were able to go past undetected by you guys? How can she have escaped without being undetected?" Christy was furious, her hand pressed against the curve of her nose and eyes closed by disbelief and disappointment.
The guards and warriors hung their heads in shame. They had failed to keep their Luna safe, as they had promised to their Alpha.
"Luna, I'm deeply sorry! We-" One of the warriors responded softly. His voice broken and near the verge of melancholy.
"Save it! We will follow as planned. I glanced through the map before Selene took it. We must go now, I know exactly where my boy is. He's at his grandpa's old cabin, just on the other side of this mountain. Gather everyone, we will move out and join him. For your safety, I hope she is with him and not in any harm's way! Or I am sad to say, I will not be able to stop my boy from what he may do to you!" She looks between them, they all glanced between themselves and Luna Christy nervously.
"Very well! Get to it. Gather the pack, and tell them we leave at once." Luna Christy informs. She turns on her heel, reaching for the hem of her dress and pulling it slightly up and walking away.
Though many questions emerged to the quick spread of their Luna being missing, Rebecca quickly calms them down, promising everyone that she will be alright and will soon join them.
They move out quickly towards the direction the guards point them. They run stealthy and at such speed, they look like blurs as they pass the many branches and trees.
It's not long before they come close to the cabin. Slowly, the guards come to the front of the cabin as the door opens and they get greeted by Tyler and Blake's grandfather.
"Mom?" Tyler calls out to her as he averts his sight everywhere, startled by the presence of the pack.
"Sweetheart! Oh thank heaven and God you're ok! I was so worried for you. Oh goddess thank you! My boy is ok." She hugs him, holding tight and kissing his cheeks repeatedly. He chuckles pulling away.
"I'm fine mom. I was never in any real trouble I promise. Now, care to tell me why you're here? And why I see most of our pack with you? Including our former luna." He narrows his eyebrows, giving the guards a stern and furious look.
They hang their heads and gulp down nervously.
"Where are Blake and your sister? I need to talk to them." She looks past him towards the cabin and Tyler's eyes widen in terror.
"What? What the hell do you mean where's Selene?" They both become startled to the sound of Blake's alpha voice. He walks towards them from the side of a rough greenery spot to the right of the cabin, a man with ocean blue eyes and a few inches taller than Blake with him.
Harou, for once in many centuries has left the enchanted cave that the goddess Selene herself had made for their protection. Many from his pack had forfeited the battle, turning to drastic measures and turning to a powerful witch who helped them to give up their lycan creatures, converting them to humans.
Selene took it upon herself to create a portal within the cave to keep the rest of the remaining lycans to stay safe and undetected by the world. Allowing the lineage of Harou's pack from becoming completely extinct.
"Where is she?" He yells furiously, his jaw clenched and knuckles tight, turning white. The face of his guards turned pale and their nerves went skyrocketing up in full force.
Their alpha was fierce and loyal to the pack. Respected and loved by every single member, and though they had seen an angry side of him before; they had never seen him this mad.
"I ordered you to keep her safe! Why the fuck is my wife missing?" He gripped one of the guards by the throat, pulling him up. His feet dangled in the air, as his eyes turned dark.
"Talk! Or I will rip your fucking head off! Where. Is. My. Wife?" His voice trembled in authority and eyes dark as midnight. Xander ready to merge and take over as he growled in fury.
"Alpha! We tried to stop her! But she-" The guard tried to word out, but the more he struggled, the more Blake tightened his grip around his neck.
"You dare lose my wife? I gave you a simple task! Protect her! Keep her in the fucking room." The guards eyes rolled back, he struggled to breath and began to lose consciousness.
"Alarick!" Harou calls out to him. Making Xander and Blake turn and dropping the guard on the ground. The guards frantically gasped for air, holding his throat.
"We have no time. We must find her. Before Keiran gets to her and it's too late! Now let's go!" He says sternly at Blake, making him clench his jaw as everyone wonders why this man called their Alpha by a different name.
Blake walks past him and towards the woods. Rebecca's eyes widen in shock to see Harou.
Harou turns, and nods at Tyler, "It's good to see you well old friend. I know you may not remember me, but it will all make sense once all this is over. Until then, take care Dylan." Tyler narrows his eyebrows and locks his sight on them as they vanish among the rubbish of the many trees and rocks towards the direction they run, leaving him questioning what in the hell just happened?
"Dylan? Who the hell is Dylan?" He turns towards his mom and she nervously shrugs her shoulders.
"What are we going to do now Sweetheart? Where can your sister be?" She purses grips as she feels them quiver and her cheeks dampen by the unexpected tears rolling down her cheeks. He pulls her close, holding her in a tight embrace.
"She's a smart girl mom. She's gonna be ok. I promise." He kisses her temple and sighs, hoping he's not wrong.
