The fog took the forest into its embrace. Everything was engulfed within the morning mist, trees standing tall with their glorious green leaves clinging to their branches. Dry leaves rustling with the sound of the wind howling echoed within the forest. It was almost midday but the black clouds were getting even darker.
"We should get all the supplies stacked up before the weather becomes more inconvenient." Sasha paced into the kitchen, stacking up the food and other necessity.
"Ah relax Sasha...we have whatever we need and it's enough for 3 months," Ronnie hugged his mate from behind and kissed her neck.
"I don't think I should let you do the errands because you need rest my love. I don't want my baby and my princess to get sick, I can't compromise both of your health, " Ronnie rubbed her baby bump and placed his hands beneath the bump to lift it a little to relax his mate.
Sasha let out a small moan of relief as she leaned her head back on his chest. The baby bump was killing her back with pain but having someone so loving and caring, Sasha was truly thankful to her destiny.
"Oh my god! Thank you baby," She tilted her head and both of them shared a short yet sweet kiss.
"Ronnie!" The door of the living room burst open , startling the two in the kitchen. Sasha let out a growl of anger. Yes pregnancy has its side effects.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" Ronnie marched into the living, angry and annoyed. Tyson stood there panting, sweat crawling down his forehead, his eyes were red as blood.
"Holy shit! What happened to you?" fast as lightning, Ronnie took Tyson in his arms and guided him to the nearby couch. He immediately checked for bruises and wounds but he found none.
"Were you out hunting? What happened?" Tyson took deep breath, calming himself and his inner wolf, Tyson looked up to Ronnie.
"Ryan is gone."
"What!!" the sound of glass crashing shifted both the guy's attention towards the living room door. Sasha had been clearing up the counter when her inner wolf called out to her.
"Go! Something is wrong...you need to check on Ronnie and your visitor"
"I wasn't coming here at first but my she wolf called out to me and I had to come." Sasha walked forward as Ronnie helped her to settle into her seat. Tyson rubbed his face in frustration. Things were getting worse after Ryan's wedding. It seemed like their pack had been cursed.
"He's been gone for long, he said he'll be back before dawn but he's been gone for almost..." he couldn't complete his sentence, his lips started shivering.
"Almost? speak up! Almost what?!" Sasha leaned in, her eyes fixed at Tyson.
"He's been gone for almost a week now," silence fell throughout the room. Ronnie and Sasha exchanged looks before Sasha let out a loud growl.
"Try calling out to him!" Ronnie burst out while Tyson and Sasha blinked at his words.
"What did you just say?"
"I mean Sasha...you can call out to Ryan, mind telepathy!" Ronnie's face bimmed with excitment.
"I could have done it but he tends to ignore my calls to him, maybe if you try he'll reconnect with you," a look of uncertainity spread on Sasha's face. Last she tried mind telepathy was when their Luna dissappeared mysteriously.
"I don't know, last time I tried, my mind got frozen like literally," Sasha leaned back, tired resting her feet on a cushion mountain made out of 4 cushions.

Meanwhile, the Hades mansion was buzzing with growls and the Deltas, Beta and every other werewolves were on the run. Hunters were out looking for Ryan while the Beta and Delta revised schemes if there were chances of any sudden war.
Disappearance of Ryan was very unusual for the Blood Moon Pack to digest. It wasn't that this never happened before but Ryan was out for a day or to two, however this time, he went away for a good time. The entire family and pack was in shock for this sudden behavioral change in Ryan Hades.
"High lord! one of the hunters has found traces of Alpha Ryan's scent," one of the omega ran forward, pushing away the others to make his way towards their former Alpha, Alexander Hades. He stood up with his mate beside him, Sophia.
"Where does it lead to?" Alexander's voice came out more of a threat than a question. His heavy voice and a scar across his left eye was one of the most scary things. It was said the once there was an extremely brutal war between Blood Moon Pack and Cresent Moon Pack during the early 1900s. The two Alpha fought with great passion and hatred they had for each other to rule each other's clan.
But the war broke out when Cresent Moon Pack's Luna, Stella was killed in the fight. At that time Alexander did not marry Sophia so he feared of nothing. Ever since then, the two clans neither cross each other's path nor they open up their borders for any new werewolf. Unless the approval comes from the Alpha of course.
"They are leading towards the darkest part of the Black forest, should we inform the Beta and Delta to spread out, " the omega hung his head down while he awaited his masters command.
"We should Alex, Ryan is out there alone and with his obsession to find her, I'm afraid that he will do something which we will have to suffer from the consequences, " Sophia added, she sat down crying for, afraid for her son's life.
"Stay rest assured my love, for Ryan is the Alpha and he knows how to deal with his anger," Alexander's voice came out hoarse but he spoke with pride.
"But we have to get him back! He's out there all alone looking for that stupid girl," she shook her head in dismay written all over her face.
"She's his mate and the Luna of our pack my love, speak with respect, Ryan will not be pleased if he hears you saying these things, " Alexander constantly rubbed her shoulder to console her.
"I knew the girl would be trouble for my baby but worse than that was when Ryan said that she was his mate," eyes red as blood, Sophia knocked of a candle stand that stood beside her, in rage.
"I'm telling you now Alex, if Ryan isn't here in the next few hours, be prepared for my final rituals," She stomped off her throne and walked past her other two sons, Ronnie and Tyson.
"Should we talk to her, father?" Ronnie stepped up but Alexander shook his head.
"Head out to look for him, Delta, lead your members and if need arises, don't back off from shedding blood," Ronnie's inner wolf instantly let out a howl, telling him that he is ready for this. Within a blink of an eye, Ronnie dissappeared outside.
"Beta...you come with me, we have some matters to deal with," Tyson nodded and followed his father.
The front doors closed after Alexander and Tyson left the room and walked to their training ground. It was almost sunset with dusk falling rapidly, Alexander never visited the training ground after Ryan was crowned as the leader of the pack.
"Is everything alright papa, you seem to be in distress."
"I have a feeling that this year, things will change and it will cost alot of things. " Tyson wasn't sure about his father's words so he let him finish speaking.
"I don't know but, if a war breaks out between Blood Moon and Cresent Moon, I fear everything will change drastically. But it can either be good or bad, time will tell," saying these words, Alexander sunk into a bench near a fountain, in front of the training ground.
"Papa, be rest assured, if a day like that comes, your 3 sons will handle this," Tyson took his father's warm hand into his.
"You should rest now, your fever is still bothering you, right?"
"Ah...it's nothing, I have lived my life gracefully so don't bother about this fever and stuffs. You go, Sharon must be waiting for you. " Alexander smiled at his son, deep down he knew he didn't have time left but he was fighting with it, to remain well until Ryan gets back.
