Claire (Ashton's mate):
Ashton rushed to the office as soon as he heard of the accident and I am standing here looking at the devastating scene in front of me, the car was smashed by a truck and anyone inside the car shouldn't have survived. But then Nic and Zach were still breathing then where the hell did Luna and Stella go?
We had a pack member in the human forensics team and he was the one who was right now waiting for the police to get the bodies out to have a look at them and I was here to get whatever information I could.
"Hey Watson, did you get to know anything?", I asked as he walked towards me
"Nothing, there is no one in the car except for a driver who is surely not ours", he said shaking his head.
"But the car belongs to us", I tried to reason
"I know so its either Stella and Luna somehow got out of trouble or are in grave danger", he said looking down at his shoes
"What do you mean?", I felt like smashing his head in the nearby trees but then there were a lot of humans surrounding us
"All I am saying Gamma is that it is not a hit and run case, it might be", and he stopped"Watson what?", I asked as my eyes changed their colour
"It might be kidnapping" and that was it either I had to let my wolf out for a run or I would tear every person who was standing in the surroundings.
" I will meet you in the packhouse", is all I said before turning towards the woods and once I was in a safer distance from the highway I turned into my wolf and ran towards Zach's office.
When I ran into Zach's office where Ashton was pinned onto the wall by him.
"How do you even know it was their car?", Zach growled
"Put him down alpha", I growled from the other end of the room as I entered. He may be the alpha but when your mate is in danger it's hard to care. Zach turned towards me as he left Ashton, "What is it Claire?", he almost growled as Nic took a protective stance in front of me.
"Alpha please cool down, I have got some news", I said passing the bottle of water kept on the side table.
"Say", Zach said trying to maintain his composure.
"I went to the highway and yes it was our car", I said and looked around and saw their horrid expressions, even Mark had a grave expression, "but there is something to it, the car was crushed in such a manner the no one inside it could survive yet there was only one body of a man who I surely didn't know. According to you, Stella was driving then either both of them escaped the accident or I don't know."
"But the man you said you didn't know him so didn't the police question the ownership of the car?", this time it was Mark asking
"It was damaged beyond recognition", I sighed
"But", Zach said something as his voice broke
"You can't feel her right?", Nic asked with the same expression and Zach nodded
"Wolfsbane", Mark said
"How do you know?",Zach asked
"The same happened with Blake. It weakens your mate's wolf and therefore you feel empty inside, it's easier for them to kidnap a mate that way because then your mate doesn't feel the pain and the mate bond and therefore you can locate her and this gives them time", Mark said rubbing his forehead
"But why them and by what you say it seems the same man is behind with the incidents", Ashton asked
"I don't know", Mark just said nodding his head.
"Zach can you please put your head in here. I get it it is painful not knowing where your mate is but I am in the same situation, and in no way are you helping us by escaping into your own world.",Nic said clearly expressing his frustration
"Shut the fuck up Nicholas. Don't dare speak to your alpha like that"
Ok, Zach's alpha mode was on which made him rather the scary alphas that you hear in your stories about. While around Zach never ever make him angry because he becomes simultaneously scary and ruthless.
"Mark what were you saying and why did you use the word again?", Zach said turning his attention to Mark. Clearly, all of us felt his question was not at all important at this moment but you may question Zach but never the alpha king.
"Yes yes alpha", Mark said trying to concentrate on the point Zach was on
"I said I can't fail myself as a brother again"
"Well, I got that what do you mean by again? As much as I know you had only one sister", Zach was dead serious
"I had two", Mark sighed
"You know if you need our help you need to give up your petty secrets right?", this time it was Nic.
Zach, Nic, and Ashton no matter what they said to each other they always had each other's back.
"My apologies I didn't tell you about this when you visited us earlier alpha", he raised his eyes, " Well I was not the alpha and my father was very strict about legacy and wolf gene, though our mother is a witch, none of us inherited her powers except one yet she treated all three with the same love but it wasn't the same with my father. As you might know, the law says that one white wolf should be preceded by another, and if a new white wolf is not reported by the 10th anniversary then the legacy may have just died. So the previous white wolf was one of my aunt's but she wasn't an alpha wolf but there is a prophecy stating that this time it would be an alpha which indicated it had to be one of my sisters. It was Rosa's 14th birthday when she turned but as you know she is a grey wolf so our last hope was Anna", his eyes glistened as he looked up but Zach didn't flinch
"You mean Anna is younger than Rosa?", Zach asked rather frustrated
Marks gulped down his water and said, "Here is the catch alpha, Anna was younger than me but two years elder to Rosa but hadn't turned and neither did she show any signs of a wolf, she was more of a witch. She used to train with our mother when Rosa and I trained with the worriers, she learned magic when we learned self-defense. It will only because Rosa didn't come out to be a white wolf did father wait to throw out Anna. My father was never drawn to Anna and didn't appreciate her no matter what she did but when she didn't turn on her 16th birthday he lost it all. To him, a legacy was more important than his own child and that's when he didn't something no one had expected. We never had birthday parties for Anna and neither did she ever ask for one but on her 16th birthday my father gave her the first present of her life, he banished her from the pack."
All our mouths were flung open like was he serious could someone's father ever do that.
"Like are you saying you allowed him to do that to your sister?", Nic said with a voice laced in hatred
"We didn't get to know till the morning, it was only when Blake came and told me what happened did I know, he did it all in secrecy. Blake was Anna's best friend and therefore as soon as she reached a phone booth she called him for help. She knew she wouldn't be able to reach me because if she did father would know and she was already very scared. Blake helped her in whatever way he could with all the contacts he had but when I rushed to my father's office to question him he was already pinned to the wall. My mother had never used her power in the 20 years of my life and I never realised how powerful she was until that day but as you know killing an alpha no matter how wrong he was is a hideous crime so I told him to give up his position. But he didn't agree that's when my mother told me to challenge him, the person who I thought knew nothing about self-defense knew all tricks that my father used. My mother trained me for a fight I was destined to win and ever since I have taken over ever since Anna's 16th birthday no one has ever spoken to that man. We only behave as a family in front of others but deep inside we lost our life long ago.", he sighed
"I get it it is too much but may I ask something Mark", Zach's anger was gone, he was calm as his eyes were fixed on me, I realised how much these people loved me. I gave him a small smile.
"Sure alpha", Mark said picking his gaze up to Zach
"What's Anna's full name?"
"Andrea… Andrea Isa Willams."
