Amber/ Andrea:
"Amber Amber, wake up", I heard a soft voice coming to my ears
"Hmm what is it know", I said rubbing my hands on my eyes
"You look cute", Zach said towering over me
"Did you wake me up to tell this?", I said acting to be angry
"Oh no, we have reached", he said holding a coat in his hand
"Why that?"
"Its cold here Amber", he said holding the coat up for me as I slipped into it. As we stepped out I was surrounded by a view I had left years back, every side was covered with mountains and a chilly wind blew around.
"It's cold", I said rubbing my palms together
"Told you", Zach said pulling me closer to him
As we walked a lot of people acknowledged Zach either with a bow or a good evening, I distinguished the people bowing as werewolves and the ones wishing good evening as humans. This was the first time I realised the amount of power he held.
I saw Stella and Nic waiting for us at the exit with a number of cars parked around.
"Welcome home Alpha and hi Luna", Stella said wrapping me in a hug
"Hi Stella", I said trying to breath
"Don't kill your Luna", Zach said mocking
"Oh Shut up", Stella said leaving me and hugging Zach, "I missed you, trust me Nic is a pain in the ass" and we all burst into laughter.
"Stel, you and Amber head back home, Nic and I will come back soon I was got some business to attend to"
"Okay", Stella said excitedly as I narrowed my eyes to Zach.
Like did he expect me to walk into an unknown pack all alone, ok Stella will be there but still.."I will be back soon Am and everyone already knows you", Zach said placing a kiss on my forehead
"Hmm ok, bye now go soon be back soon", I said motioning my hands for him to leave
"Stel, take one of the pack fighters with you"
"Zach come on the pack is not even half an hour from here, you are the one going into the city. So you will be needing them and don't forget I am a Beta as well"
���Stel stop arguing", Nic tried reasoning but she wasn't ready to listen
"Ok but take care and call us as soon as you reach", Zach finally agreed, "Any danger mind link me or Nic"
"Yes sir", Stella said looping our arms
"Bye ladies", Nic said giving a side hug to Stella
"Bye", I said waving at both of them as Stella pulled me to the car
"Enjoy the view Luna", she said turning the radio on
"Alpha", I or rather Riley corrected, yes though a female she was an alpha wolf. We didn't need another Alpha to become the female alpha rather we were born as one.
"What?",Stella said as her mouth was still open in shock, " I am sure Zach didn't mention it"
"It's ok Stel you can still call me Amber or Andrea", I said laughing at her, and then the songs started bursting in my ears as I looked around to a view which was home to me till a few years back.
Zach:
I was reluctant to let Amber and Stella go alone but when Stella things she wants to do something there is no stopping her. Nic informed me that Mark had come over and since I wasn't yet sure about his relations with Amber I preferred meeting him in the office.
He was informing us about all the search parties sent and all the investigations carried out but my mind didn't seem to settle, Ray seemed to be very tensed with Amber leaving alone, I tried calming him down but that was of no use.
"Zach", Nic said waving his hand in front of me
"Yes", I said coming out of my gaze
"Did you hear anything Mark was saying?"
"Um yes I did, so which places have you searched as of now and how can we help you?", I said trying to convince them and by their expressions, I realised I was lucky that they hadn't particularly discussed this as of yet.
"So we have searched every place in our territory as well as the territories of the neighboring packs with the help of their alphas but we need your permission to check the no man's land, as going into them means encountering the rogues without any hold on land", Mark said clearly this throat
"I see, I will get that done by tomorrow. And have you heard of any warnings from the kidnappers? Like money, land, or anything?"
"Nope, not one as of yet", he said rubbing his neck
" Then how are you so sure that she has been kidnapped and not left on her own?", I asked.
"Blake, my beta is her mate and they have completed the mating process and as we know he feels it if she is in pain, and trust me if you go by his behaviour she is in tremendous pain and is filled with fear", he said with a shiver in his voice, there was no doubt he was saying the truth."Please alpha, help me find my sister, I have to protect her else I would lose again lose as a brother"
"We will try our best" and as I said those words his last few words rang in my head 'again?'"Mark what do you mean by again?"
Just as he was about to answer, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in", Nic said in a rather irritated tone and a panting Ashton came in.
"Ash, what is it? We are in between of something important"
"Nic, Alpha ", he said in a breathless voice
"Ash cool dow", Nic said passing a glass of water, which he drank down in less than a second
"Luna and Stella haven't reached the packhouse yet and the patrol team reported an accident on the highway"
