No … it can’t be. He promised me! He promised he would always be there for me. We were supposed to haveanother movie night. No … No … I can’t believe it. It hurts too much to believe it.
To hell with all of them. She pushed out of Grayson’s arms. Her body ached as she steadied herself on the ground, protesting as she tried to manage on her own on her weak legs.
“You all can go. You can give up. I won’t. I can’t … I need him.” Lita turned her gaze to all the sympathizing eyes around her. They all thought he was dead. She couldn’t help the fury that ignited inside of her.
“You are the Black Ice Pack’s Luna! Right now, they need you. They need you to help them mourn the loss of their alpha,” Nathon commanded with his alpha voice. He was trying to shake his daughter, to get her to understand. Instead, she met him with a challenging gaze.
Oh no, he didn’t just use his alpha voice on me!She already had an alpha. He was her mate, and he was out there somewhere. He had to be. They had two boys waiting for him to come home and a daughter he still needed to meet.
“Lita, for how long? How long do you need to search before you’ll understand? Staying here and searching what can’t be searched for won’t change anything.” Nathon softened his voice, trying to reason with her.
“So … you’re telling me that Abaas took his body?” Lita glared at her father as she watched him nod his head.
“Then I’m going into the depths of hell to bring it back.” Lita narrowed her eyes at her father as he shook his head.
“You can’t. You can’t go there. You’ll never get out. They’ll keep you there.” Nathon adamantly refused her. She couldn’t go there.
“What if they took Asher alive?!” Lita gasped, wondering if that was exactly what had happened.
Nathon was quiet, his gaze resting on her sadly. “If they have him there, then he’s theirs now.”
“Would this be your answer if they had taken me?!” Lita growled back.
“Yes. There would be no saving you from there,” Alice answered quietly.
Lita smirked. Asher would go there for her. She knew he would. “I’m not like you. Any of you. I don’t care where I have to go or what opponent I have to face. If Asher is there, then I’m going after him.”
“In your condition?! What can you do? You can’t do anything!” Nathon yelled angrily at his stubborn daughter.
“You guys are awfully quiet. What are you thinking? Thinking of abandoning Asher too?” Lita snapped at Grayson, Caden and Caspian.
“I’d never abandon Asher. NEVER! This … this is different, Lita. The Black Ice Pack needs you. You have to come back to them.” Caden quieted his tone toward the end.
“If Asher thought I had been taken, what would he do?” Lita raised her eyes at Caden. She knew damn well what Asher would do. He would try to come for her.
“Lita, there is no way Asher would have been taken alive. There would have been signs of a struggle,” Caspian said softly.
“Grayson?” Lita’s voice was a defeated whisper.
He stared at her. He couldn’t just give up on Asher either. Even if it was hopeless. He would walk into hell if it meant retrieving his body to put him to rest.
“I’ll follow you. Wherever you go. I’ll go and retrieve his body so that he can rest in peace. But I want you to stay here. I can’t lose you both.” Grayson meant it. He might not return from the demon’s lair, but he would give his life trying.
Thank goodness she had Grayson.
“Caden, I order you to return to the Black Ice Pack and perform the duties as alpha in charge. Caspian, you can return to your mate’s side until you both can join the Black Ice Pack.”Lita looked at the two men, who looked uneasy and didn’t move. “GO!” Lita boomed her luna voice at them, forcing them to obey her.
“Lita …” Alice started.
“Mom, you need to trust me. Asher and I have a destiny. I refuse to believe this was all we were meant to do. My body may be weak, but I’m going to push it. I wasn’t born with all this power for nothing.” Lita set a determined gaze on Grayson. She had an idea.
“Caden, Caspian … wait before leaving.” Lita saw the two stop and wait.
Mira, we’re still connected to Bo, aren’t we? Just because we can’t feel him … it would be different if he was dead, right?
HE’S NOT DEAD!Mira growled back loudly. Lita had Mira on her side, too.Then let’s find him.
Seraphina, I need you to lend me your strength.She heard her screech in approval. She was going to try something. She was going to use her magic to find him. He was her mate, no, her soulmate. That meant their souls were connected. She was going to try to find him through their souls’ connection.
