Micah linked, “I agree with Kai. She kind of is a superhero.” Yeah, I agreed with that too. Eric wanted me to say something because I knew Ashley better than any of them. They may email her, but I actually knew her.
I broke it down, but didn't get too far into the story before Elise started crying about cleaning products and airing out their house the night Melanie had “left.” EJ was murderously angry. I actually think he was past that. He was rivaling Alexander, but at this point no one was going to match Alexander.
Before anyone could ask, Haley screamed, Eric staggered, and TJ went down. I linked Micah, “FUCK NO! You find Angela right fucking now!” Micah stopped what he was doing and began to frantically type as Haley kept trying to pop.
Everyone was screaming at Haley to stop, but she didn’t. For the first time, I understood her. I couldn’t help but think of my unborn children at this moment. I wouldn’t tell her to stop, and I noted Eric couldn’t bring himself to either.
Cassie was sobbing so I wrapped my arms around her. Micah told me, “Her tracker says she’s in Faerie.” Aiden popped in with Klaus. Both were enraged. Klaus told us in clipped tones, “Angela got a call. They said they had Elise, and she popped to them.”
His voice cracked, “I tried to follow her, but…” He didn’t need to say more because he’d been seriously burned. Alexander quickly healed him. Haley healed herself and sobbed. A letter floated out of nowhere at her feet.
I went to shield Cassie from that, but she was in shock not processing anything. Haley screamed and ripped the letter open. She hissed, “I WILL GO TO THE BEYOND AND RIP THAT BITCH LIMBFROM LIMB! SHE FUCKING TOLD THEM HOW TO GET MY BABY!” Eric roared in anger and grabbed the letter.
Haley hissed, “Katie, find me a goddamn way to bring her back to life so I can KILL HER BITCH ASS AGAIN!” Katie apologized, “I’m sorry Haley, but that’s not actually possible.” Haley screamed in anger. Micah linked, “What do we do?” I answered, “Keep looking.” He said, “That’s not going to help.”
I replied, “Then try to hack Ashley again because we both know beyond a shadow of doubt, who will find Angela first.” I just prayed to Aesir she found her as Bravo One, because if she saved her as Ashley/Melanie Black Path would kill her.
I wasn’t going to let that happen, so Paige would be helping me convince Addison, Sierra, Dax, Caine, and Avery to tell me where Ashley/Melanie was. The pack might not kill her, but the Ring would if they finally got a Conners and she ruined their plan.
I lost track of time, but I noted when Phil ran in announcing a friend of his had Angela in Nashville. I linked Micah, “You find Sierra right now. Get her to tell us where they take Ashley to punish her. They might kill her for this. They had a Conners, a POWERFUL one. That was why they wanted Elise for the last several years. To bait Angela. We need to find Ashley, I mean Melanie, NOW!” Micah nodded. He opened and went through a portal with Max hot on his heels. Gunner and Harper ran through after them.
Uncle Bjourn looked at me and I nodded. He stated, “You think they’ll kill her.” I replied, “I think the pack would punish her, but the Ring will absolutely kill her for this. They won’t care about whatever their plan was with her. She just fucked them royally.” He said, “She could’ve gone in with a mask.” I replied, “In which case, she’d show back up in the pack. Then I want to talk to her.”
Ben McAlister was wrecked. I couldn’t imagine his position and I didn’t want to. Cassie insisted on going to bring her sister home. I locked eyes with her guard and let them see my wrath in them they’d face if they let anyone touch her.
Eric linked, “What’s going on? Is there a threat against my Princess I don’t know about?” I replied, “No, but now isn’t the time to discuss what’s going on.” He clarified, “But she’s ok. There’s no reason for me to Alpha Command her to stay?” I sighed, “No.” Even though I REALLY wanted to say yes.
After I kissed Cassie My uncle said, “You are right, we are at war. Prepare the army. This will not stand. They took my niece and kept my nephew’s mate from him. Plus, they did something to her wolf. I’m sure we can add more to that list.”
I said, “I think she has one now, doesn't she Alexander?” I turned, but Alexander was already gone with his group. Drake McAlister whispered, “You think my pup has a wolf now?” Corbin answered, “I looked into it discreetly. If a suppressed wolf meets their fated mate, their wolf emerges.”
Sam cried, “But there was a boy claiming to be Ashley’s mate. I heard Eric talking to Peter about it.” I nodded, “Yes, and he definitely tried to mark her. She wouldn’t tell me though. She was hurt very badly last year but we were called in. Brody took care of her.”
It also explained her healing ability to a degree. She DID have a wolf, but it was hidden inside her. Sam couldn’t stop crying. Cassie assured her, “We’ll get Melanie back. We will get my sister and your daughter back. Let’s go.”
She popped us into a strange scene. Angela was sobbing while holding onto Alexander. All of us were alert when she said, “You have to save her. She saved me but they didn’t care. They were mad at her. My visions are blurry, but I think they might kill her.” They hell they would.
Alexander growled, “It WON’T happen, little one. I’ll save her.” Sierra, Micah, Max, Gunner, and Harper burst through the door. Phil ran to Sierra and wrapped her up in a hug. She announced, “We have to go. Addison went to try and stop them, but they want to kill her. I know you all don’t like her, but she’s always helped you! You have to help us save her.”
Alexander asked in a deadly voice that promised his enemies would pay. “Where is she?” Sierra dropped her phone when she caught sight of Drake, Tristan, and then Sam. She screamed, “YOU GODDAMN ASSHOLES! YOU LOOK REALLY FUCKING GOOD FOR DEAD PEOPLE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HER?! SHE’S YOUR DAUGHTER!” Phil caught her around the waist and trapped her from attacking them.
He gently told her, “Babe, we’ll get into that later. We need to save Melanie. Tell us where she is.” Sierra glared at them saying, “This is FAR from over.” She muttered, “I’ll have Paige curse the shit out of all of you.” So now I needed to stop that. Great.
Sierra brought up a picture of an open field. I could see on Alexander’s face he was going to pop. I grabbed onto him along with the McAlister’s, Cassie, EJ, Elise, Eric, and Uncle Bjourn. When I looked around, I was confused, because we weren’t at the place in the picture.
Sierra pointed, “It’s fifty yards that way.” A scream I knew belonged to Ashley/Melanie pierced the air. Alexander snarled in anger along with the McAlister’s. The Kyle’s and the rest of our group were popped in. Those that could, shifted.
Alexander’s roar shook the trees when Ashley/Melanie’s scream of pain hit the air again. Addison screamed, “LEAVE HER ALONE!” Ashley/Melanie screamed, “ADDISON, NO!” Avery yelled, “Yeah you jerks, why don’t you try to take us all.” Paige laughed, “Yeah, bring it!” At least they brought her this time.Ashley/Melanie yelled, “NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE! DON’T YOU GO NEAR THEM!”
We all took off running. Several wolves snarled with renewed purpose, which told me the scents in the air enticed them. This was SO BAD! All I could do was pray we weren’t going to be too late. The sounds of fighting were music to my ears. Hang on Ashley/Melanie. We are coming for you.
The End.
Sneak Peek into: The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior
Prologue
Alpha Ezra was gleeful. I clarified, “And you’re sure it all worked?” The Ring representative rolled her eyes at me. My wolf broke free of the hold I had on him. He asked, “What is this you’re thinking about? You can’t do this! NOT TO A PUP! I AM AN ALPHA WOLF AND I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS.”
