(Dean's POV)
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Someone shaking me awake. I sit up holding my head, "what.. what happened?" Then it all comes back to me. I found her my mate. But she in trouble! I turn to the guard, "WHERE IS SHE?" I growl. The guard flinches and bares his neck, "whoo?, Your Majesty.". "LILY! WHERE IS LILLY!?!?" I feel Rune about to break free, my canines begin to lengthen. "Im sorry, Your Majesty, but no one else was here when I found you," he studders. Maybe she went back to the ball. I quickly jump to my feet and run to the ballroom leaving the confused guard behind me.
As soon as I reach the ball room, my sister appears in front of me, "THERE YOU ARE! Where have you been mother and father need us now! King Zephyr is coming with the prince and princess!" She hisses at me. "What!? Why?" I asked, the fairies never come to us so why now? I wonder why must this happening while my mate is in danger I feel it...I need to go to her! But my sister grabs me and drags me to my parents. My mother looks at me and I see the worry fill her face, "what's wrong son?" I open my mouth to answer her when suddenly the great hall door fly open and in comes a dozen soldiers and floating high and mighty the fairy king.
King Zephyr comes right up to my parents, "King Jake, what a nice party your having seems my invitation was lost upon messager. You know my son, Prince Dillon." He sheers as if he was better than us. My father teeth grind together he doesn't like how Zephyr ignored my mother as if she ment nothing. "Why of course, King Zephyr. As well as your daughter, Princess Primrose. And I expect you remember my better half, Queen Rosie. This is our son, Prince Dean, and our daughter, Princess Annabelle, this ball is in honor of them. Now tell why you come and with so many guards?" My father voice comes out strong and powerful, I notice the two little fairies flinch at his voice. King Zaphyr jaw tighten at my father question. "Always straight to the point, King Jake. I'm looking for someone or thing you can say..." his voice drips with distaste as he says someone like he didn't want to call them a person, "...have you noticed anyone knew lately? A young woman perhaps?" Rune growls at the king's question I quickly mind link my sister, 'say nothing Bella!' I use my alpha voice. Her eyes quickly glance my way then back to the King. I know she gonna question me later about this. She hates when I use my alpha voice. My father shakes his head, "No, we have not meet anyone new." The Zaphyr's eyes narrow, "Are you sure? She a sneaky little brat. Could be hiding right under your nose. My guards can smoke her out for me..." "ENOUGH! We already told you no one new has come threw her and this is not your land so in less you like to start a war I suggest you leave!" My father cuts him off standing. I can see his nails start to grow and the guards start to circle the fairies. "Very well, Jake, I'll leave but I leave you with this..... She is MINE! and if I find out you are hiding her I will start a war!" And with that he turned to leave taking his fairies with him.
As soon as the doors close behind them the party begins again. My sister turns to me and glares, "How dare you alpha command me!" My parents both turn to look at me confusion on their face. My father looks at Bella, "sweetheart, what do you mean? He never spoke to you?" Bella glares harder at me, I roll my eyes. She lets out a huff, "he mind linked me when King Zaphyr was taking not to mention Lily." "Who's Lily?" My mother asked looking more confused. "My mate..." I let out as a low growl to my sister. Instantly her face changes to surprise then excitement. "YOUR MATE!?" both my parents ask at the same time. "Well where is she?" My mother asks looking around. "Why didn't you tell us son?" My father asks looking at me careful. My claws length and I tighten my hands to fists, "she...she disappeared with Raven.... She's in trouble. I can feel it but....I don't know where she is. I failed as her mate." I look to the floor. My father walks up to me and put a hand on my shoulder, "no son you haven't. Don't worry we will find her and if Raven with her, then you know she safe. Raven the strongest witch alive no one matches her power not even King Zaphyr himself." I look at my father and nod. I feel Rune pacing and growling. He wants to run to find our mate. "Excuse me I need to go for a run let Rune work things out I'll be back," I tell my father in a low tone. He just nods his approval and I quickly make my way to the forest.
Once outside I let Rune have control, I feel my bones pop and hair cover my body. My tux rips apart but I don't care. I look up at the moon, it's a full moon shining bright above. I close my eyes and pray to the goddess as Rune let's out a long howl, 'Goddess please! Please help me find her! I know she needs me. I will give my life to keep her safe and happy. She is my Luna, my heart! Please Goddess bring her back to me!' When I open my eyes a strange feeling washes over me. A faint voice whispers in the wind "go to her, save my child..." Rune takes off. Somehow I knew where I was going to her, even though I didn't know where she was...
