Quinn's POV:
I sat in the back seat of the car two guards in the front of the black car, I didn't want to leave Ashlee but I was called out lat at 1am for a emergency with a neighboring pack that belongs to my cousin, Damian and his mate Sidney. I rolled my cell phone in my hand over and over my nerves skyrocketing at the thought of not being with my mate, seeing as it was the first time I actually left the pack lands without her.
Three hours out of the pack lands, my phone started to ring in my hand, looking down at it my Beta was calling, I press answer and put the phone up to my ear "what's u-" I started but was stopped.
"Quinn you need to come home now!" He yelled into the phone with worry in his voice "what's wrong?" I say seriously.
My wolf perks up at the thought of something wrong in the pack "it's Ashlee" he said and my blood ran cold. I look at the guard that was driving "turn the car around now, hurry" I ordered before turning back to the call.
"What happened?" I asked as worry filled my body, my knee bounced up and down "the guards said when they did their schedule shift, Noah and Adan found the Luna in the field behind the cabin, she..." He stopped like he couldn't get the words out. My wolf howled for his mate, growling and clawing at my mind to go to her. "What? What happened?" I asked shifting forward in my seat.
"She was attacked by a vampire" he said and I lost it. Dropping my phone I open the door and letting my wolf take control as we shift and bold back to the pack lands, the guards stopped the car and called after me, I didn't care, I needed to be with my mate.
I pushed my body as fast as I could taking down any rogue's that got in my way, blood covering my dark fur. The sun was in the middle of the sky by the time I got back onto the pack lands, running through the barrier and to the pack house, blood filled the air, I shift one I get to the porch, blood drops lead to the infirmary. The door slams into the wall once I walk inside, not caring about my nakedness. A nurse handed me shorts which I quickly slipped on and looked around the room for my mate. "Alpha, I'm the Luna's doctor" Dilson said coming over to me, I turned towards him.
"Where is she?" I asked hurrily, wanting to make sure she's okay.
"She's still in surgery, her condition isn't good, when she came in she was drained of blood, bite marks and scratches covered her body, then theirs her throat" he said looking down not wanting to meet my eye contact. "What?" I say in disbelief, I turned and punched the wall with a yell, my fist clunched and unclenched as it healed in a few minutes. "Her vocal cords were destroyed" Dilson said after I removed myself from the wall.
"But is she okay?" I say almost feeling the pain of my mate.
He sighed and finally looked at me "if she would of come in any later she would have died before she would of been on the table, she is very lucky to be alive" he says before spacing out for a few minutes then looked at me again "she just got out of surgery" he said before motioning for me to follow him, we went down a hall where I met Westley who was pacing the hall clinching his phone in his hand with a crying Stella beside him. We stop at the private wing in front of them and walked into a room where Ashlee was getting set up in the room, connecting her to the monitors. My angel laid on the bed, a bandage around her neck, over the mark I gave her, her arms, chest, the side of her face and thighs.
I go to her and gently grabbed her hand kissing the top in it "I am so sorry love that I wasn't there to protect you" I said as my wolf whined at the sight of our mate.
I continue to look at her before saying "report".
"The guards found the scent of a group of vampires and a witch, they managed to catch the witch, he is in the dungeon now" Westley said looking at the floor.
"I will be down there soon, make sure to double the guards and gather them to the front of the pack house in a hour, for a emergency meeting" I ordered never taking my eyes of Ashlee, I held her cold hand in mine before Dilson came to the opposite side of the bed, with the clipboard in his hands. "Luna is on a blood supply, but the damage in her vocal cords was survere, we were not able to repair it, with the Wolfsbane still in her system it held back her shifting and her wolf healing but there should only be a small amount left in her system to only effect the healing. As of now she will heal nicely but her wolf was strong enough to keep them both alive for a short time" he said looking down at his Luna.
I nod stunned "so she won't be able to talk?" I asked at what I'm hearing, he hesitanted then nodded as well "no she won't be able to, but thankfully to her being a werewolf she can mind link" Dilson replied with sadness in his voice, my heart broke at his words. "But she's alive and thats all that matters to me, thank you" I say after a few minutes, he bares his neck "I will be back ever hour personally to check up on the Luna, for now she is okay and she should wake up in a few hours" he says I thanked him again and watched him walk out of the room, a few minutes later I stood up and looked at Westley and Stella. "Stella stay with Ashlee I'll be back" I say walking to the door. Anger radiating from my body, she bared her neck "of course" she said then moved to the chair I was in by my mate.
Westley followed me out of the room and to the dungeon, the pack parting like the red sea to avoid the anger of their alpha.
Walking down the concrete stairs, on each side of the room was four cells, at the center of the dungeon of the witch in cuffs that canceled their magic until the cuffs were removed by the person who put them on.
The man leaned against the wall, his arms chained above his head, he was unconscious. I nodded to the guard to unlock the cell, he lets me in the shuts it behind me, I grab the bucket of water and splash it on the witch.
He gasped awake and groaned before looking at me "the big bad alpha" he mocked.
"Who are you?" I asked with a glare.
"Who am I? I am everything but nothing" he commented with a smirk.
My wolf growled pushing forward "why did you target my mate?" I growled, he looked at me confused then chuckled "oh the Luna? I just did my job, they are the ones who targeted her" he said shrugging like it was nothing.
Lifting my arm I punch him in the face, his head snapped to the side coughing then turned back to me with blood on his face where my knuckle cut him. "who are they?" I asked crouching down in front of him, forcing him to look at me. "Who else? The vampires, real sicko's I say, poor girl didn't stand a chance against the grounp of hungry leaches, it was quiet sad how they ganged up on her" he said like he was remembering it, me and my wolf growled punching him again.
"Who is your leader?" I asked trying not to kill him, I needed information, but I also needed revenge for my mate.
"The Elder.... That's all I can tell you" he said, I growled and punched him again and he fell to the side unconscious again. "Kill him" I said walking out of the dungeon and to the front of the pack house where the guards waited for the meeting to start.
I look over them and clunch my jaw "your Luna was attacked this morning by vampires. They attacked your Luna, my mate they set the flames, now this is war, from now on the rounds will be doubled, they are fast and strong if you see or hear anything let me, you beta or the Gemma know, dismissed" I growled out, as the guards looked at each other and growled at the thought of their Luna being targeted.
I walk back inside and to the infirmary to my mate.
