Arystyn felt the adrenaline pumping through her veins as she faced the Fredrickson pack, who had cornered her in the middle of a crowded street. She knew that they were determined to take her down and she had to act fast. She shifted into wolf form and was holding her own but knew that she could never handle them all on her own. Arystyn was worried about the safety of her baby. With no other options left, she concentrated on her inner power and began to astral project herself out of the situation. As her physical body slumped to the ground, her spirit soared above the chaos and commotion below. She could see the pack members snarling and snapping at her abandoned form, but she remained safe and secure in her astral state. After a few moments, she regained control of her physical form and took off into the night, using her werewolf speed to leave the pack behind. It was a close call, as she rounded the next corner she came face to face with a man and his wife with a boy around 13, and

Alex thought about his future He imagined taking their child to the park and hearing the laughter and happiness in Arystyn and their child's voices. Would it be a son or a beautiful little Luna? As his hand touched the doorknob he felt an uneasiness stir within him. He entered their bedroom quickly and called her name. Arystyn babe are you asleep? She wasn't in the bed so he checked the bathroom. The water was everywhere the tap had been left running and the tub was full of water and overflowing onto the floor but Arystyn was nowhere to be found. After calling Drake it was ordered for the pack house and the grounds to be searched. They had to find Arystyn! Alex knew something was off and worried about the safety of Arystyn and their baby. Rubbo the sergeant of arms for the pack ran into Drake’s office where Drake, Alex, and Austin were calling anyone and everyone who may have seen Arytyn. “ She is not on this property at all said Rubbo. We are afraid to say that it looks as if she h

It was just before dawn when Alex went to the kitchen to make some coffee. He was still wearing his jeans and shirt from the day before. He couldn't sleep and wanted to get an early start looking for Arystyn. Just then he heard something and peeked around the edge of the door just in time to see Austin sneaking out the back door. Alex grabbed his keys and followed quietly so as not to alert Austin that he had seen him. Austin was in his car backing out of the driveway. Alex jumped into his own car and started it and followed Austin from a safe distance. Austin drove out of town and turned left and headed south toward the interstate. Once on the interstate Austin drove for another 2 hours before turning right onto a gravel road. Alex followed for what seemed like another 20 miles before Austin finally took a left onto a long driveway where an old mansion was sitting. Alex watched from a distance as Austin walked up to the door and without knocking entered the old mansion. After loo

After traveling incognito with the Lycans Arystyn finally started to recognize her surroundings. “ I don’t live far from here” Arystyn announced to Jonah the leader of the group. Jonah was the Beta of his pack and was traveling with a band of young Lunas who were going to be mated with members of Jonah’s pack. The Lunas were a big help with Ari and Zander and all took turns holding and cooing over the tiny infants who were seemingly enjoying all the attention. The oldest of the group was Gina who told Arystyn that she had just celebrated her 25th birthday and was set up to be mated to the Alpha’s son Journey and she was hoping she would have a child of her own soon. As they topped the next hill Arystyn felt a big lump in her throat. She was home and would soon be back with her family!As she started up the driveway she suddenly became angry. Angry that life seemed to have gone on as normal in her absence. No guards were standing at attention as she expected and she wondered if her fam

Arystyn fumbled through the clutter on her bedside table, searching for her keys. As she pushed aside old receipts and empty water bottles, her hand brushed against a crumpled note with Alex's handwriting scrawled across it."Pay Dr. Adams for being successful in the 'special project.' $10,000 due by Thursday."Her heart sank. Arystyn would never have suspected that her husband was hiding something from her, but this was beyond what she could have imagined. The note was dated just two days before their kidnapping.Tears welled up in Arystyn's eyes. How could someone she loved so much be capable of something so cruel? She clutched the note tightly in her hand, feeling a mix of anger, betrayal, and fear.But as much as Arystyn wanted to confront Alex right then and there, she knew she had to be careful. If he was involved in the kidnapping, he might try to hurt her or the twins if he thought she was onto him. She needed to play it safe, gather more evidence, and make a plan.With a heav
