Understood, Alpha.Silence fell before Drake mind-linked me again after a short while.Alpha, Luna Raihana said she didn’t need the disclaimer, and she’ll see you in a few...
I was sure Raihana probably said that in a much more fucking colourful manner. I came to a stop. Looking around, it was just open fields for miles. Where the fuck was Kiara?
I shifted back, scanning the ground as I tried to keep my aura suppressed, not wanting to be discovered. I knew many of my men were approaching; those who were in the area would be there soon. I kept to the trees, despite them being pretty scarce. I could see some country homes, so I walked forward, trying to find the exact location. We were close... but where was she?
I felt the presence of a witch behind me. Her scent hit me, and I knew before I even turned that Raihana had teleported. She was dressed in a mini dress that I wouldn’t actually call a fucking dress and ridiculously high heels.
“I’m here.”
“Yeah, looking like a fucking flamingo. What are you, a neon light to give away our location?”
“Oh, I know I’m glowing, thanks. But, I mean, I really think everyone will notice a pink flamingo compared to the terrifying furry beast standing by her side, right?” She smirked at me, twirling a strand of her hair. I gave her a withering glare.
“I’m not even in fucking Lycan form.”
“You were. Anyway, I can lower the illusion.”
“Don’t push against it. I don’t want you messing with a fucking djinn’s power,” I warned. I knew what the witches had said would happen if it was anyone other than Del that had tried that spell. They would have been fucking dead.
“Don’t worry. Del used a spell to withdraw the poison from Dante’s body… I won’t be doing that. I’ll just be breaking something,” she said quietly as if she knew what was on my mind. I gave a curt nod, just as more of our men reached us, including Elijah and Damon. Raihana took a deep breath, ready to cast the spell.
“Just… take it easy,” I warned her. “Just make it visible. I’ll break through myself.” She gave me a small smile.
“Relax, I’ll be fine.”
I didn’t reply, but I wouldn’t risk her life. I was fucking worried enough about the two who were inside this place. I really hoped that Kataleya was there... fuck, I needed them safe.
She chanted a spell, and after a few moments, it was as if an entire veil was being lifted from our eyes. A huge country house surrounded by tall black gates topped with spikes appeared. I could see the haze-like shield around it, but it didn’t feel like normal magic…
“Uncle... be careful... whatever that is… it’s dark…”
“I’ve got this.” Liam’s voice came from behind us.
I turned as Liam and Rayhan appeared, both in sweatpants, and clearly, they had run fast. Raihana crossed her arms and I glared at a few male wolves, daring them to look at her. Fucking idiots.
I glanced ahead, hoping Kiara was okay. The pain I had felt was still there, and the worry that gnawed inside of me was keeping me on edge.
Liam’s aura surged around him as he strode towards the barrier. Similar to Kiara’s purple one, his wasblue, like flames reaching high into the sky. His magnetic blue eyes looked almost shimmery. The moment he barrelled into the wall, Raihana whispered a spell, a dazzling bolt of fire heading straight above Liam’s head and hitting the shield. The impact of both forces made the barrier flash and tremble. I glared at her for disobeying me. Did these fucking women not know how to obey orders?
“Once more, Raihana,” Rayhan commanded, his sharp eyes on the barrier.
“And this time, we just fucking push through,” I said, shifting and letting out a menacing growl as Raihana and Liam struck the barrier once more.
I saw the thin crack appear, and I charged forward, ramming straight into the wall.
Burning heat. That’s what it felt like. My entire fucking body was on fire.
I pushed through, exhaling when we penetrated through, followed by Liam, Rayhan, and the rest as the barrier disappeared.
“Raihana, stay with me,” was the last thing I heard Elijah say before the growls of wolves filled the air from both sides, but theirs were running away, save a few who came to meet us head-on. It was odd seeing every wolf the exact same colour, as if they were all exactly the same, from their scent to their size and the colour of their eyes, too. I frowned, seeing the haze that surrounded the far side of the house as if masking something ahead. Was that fucker here?
Suddenly, the entire house went up in fucking flames.
Kiara and Kat!
Follow the wolves, I’m going to go find Kiara!I shouted through the link to my men and to the alphas present. Hopefully, my baby girl was there. I just fucking hoped so.
I ran ahead. As much as I wanted to fucking rip the bastard behind this to shreds, I needed to find my girls first. I just prayed that this time no one slipped out of my hold.
