Drake POVA loud sinister laugh rolls down the dimly light hall and sends a chill down my spine. Who is there? I have just looked and didn’t see anyone. I swallow the lump in my throat and grunt, “Who is there? Show yourself.”Another round of laughter breaks out, igniting anger within me. Who do they think they are? When I get out of here, they will learn a lesson which I will be more than happy to give them. Then they will learn who is in charge and powerful. A deep voice I don’t recognize retorts. “You will never get out of here. Don’t bother thinking about it.”I shake my head. He doesn’t know that. My father bangs against his metal bars. “We will get out of here, and you will be the first person we will find to show you how it can be done. Your security system and prison aren’t perfect. There is a way to break out and gain our freedom. Watch us.”The determination in my father’s voice doesn’t allow for any doubt in the validity of his words, and it gives me the ad
Trinity POV My stomach sinks and my heart pounds as a stray wolf tackles Lance and knocks him to the ground. The wolf is smaller than my mate and doesn’t stand a chance against him, but the brown wolf isn’t giving up. Knowing Lance can handle the little wolf, I turn my focus back onto the leader. Blood oozes out various deep gashes on his side, but it doesn’t seem to deter him as he gets back up. Our gazes lock and anger instantly courses through my veins. I don’t care he isn’t responsible for my father and brother’s conditions. He is leading another attack on my family’s pack, and I won’t stand for it. I take a deep breath and let my alpha side take hold of me. With my alpha voice, I pour all my anger and frustration into a roar, which knocks the large gray wolf back a few steps. Confusion mixes with his determination, but soon fades when something clicks in his eyes. With a slight smirk, another loud growl explodes from me and pushes him back a few more steps. My con
Trinity POV“UGH!!” My mouth falls open while pain shoots through my side. Warm blood pours down my side as I grasp for air, and my lungs burn while my body stands frozen in place. Sounds of battle swirl around me, but nothing registers, except for the overpowering smell of blood. I retract my claws from the leader, and he collapses to the ground.Lance spins around towards me. Fear shines bright in his eyes. “Trinity! What’s wrong?”I open my mouth farther, but nothing comes out. His eyes frantically look around, searching for answers and soon find them when he stops at my side. “How? We…”One of our guards jumps to my side. “Your majesty. We need to get her majesty to a doctor.”Tears well up in my eyes as I break whatever curse has taken control of me and whimper, “The baby.”Lance’s eye glisten with a fire suddenly burning within them. The few guards beside us gasps. This can’t be happening. I’ve been so careful. There have been so many guards around me. No one s
Alpha Edward POVI shift around on the hospital bed, not able to find a comfortable position, while my mind races. Something is off, but what? My mind fills with various things, but none of them seems like the right answer. I glance beside me at Trent’s bed, and I’m filled with a small sense of relief. He is looking better today, and his color is almost back to normal. I wish I knew what has helped him recover so fast. The doctors agree it isn’t because of their treatment. They have changed nothing. The sound of chaos and frantic footsteps pulls my attention to the open door at the other end of the room as my heartbeat quickens. A sense of dread takes hold of me. Oh, no. Did the intruders get into the bunker? Why am I not hearing anything about it? Struggling, I slowly push myself up and rest my back on the headboard while my eyes stay glued to the door. If the intruders have breached the secure doors, I need to find something to defend myself and everyone in here else w
Lance POV“Why isn’t she waking up? I gave her my blood and spread it all over the deep cuts on her side. They healed up, but she isn’t waking up yet.” I run my hand through my hair as I stare down at my unconscious mate, wondering if something bad has happened. From the other side of the hospital bed, the doctor shakes his head. “We don’t know. The situation between you and your mate is unique, and we have no reference material to look to for answers. We still haven’t been able to contact the Queen. Maybe she will have the answers we need.”I slide my hand down the back of my head and tousled hair, resting my palm on the back of my neck. “My mother has had little time to do research on our blood. She has other things she is working on, and our unique bond isn’t her top priority. It is more of an interest that she has with it than a priority.” My stomach twists. It should be a priority.From behind me, Alpha Edward asks, “Does it mean something has happened to the baby, so
The Queen POVI adjust the microscope and the slide comes into focus as a crease forms along my forehead. This isn’t what I had been expecting. After 10 separate tests, each of them came up with the same result and the same changes in the blood cells. It isn’t the royal blood, but it is Trinity’s blood which can heal people. The royal blood can heal lycans, but after mixing the royal blood with Trinity’s, it is the crown princess’ new blood which works miracles on both lycans and werewolves and in a fast time frame.This isn’t the result I’ve been expecting. I lean back and glance across the room at the cooler in the far corner. Through the glass door, I spot a couple of vials of Trinity’s blood sitting alone on the middle rack, almost calling to me.My wolf whispers, “This could be what Bethany needs to heal and bring her back.”I shake my head. The only person besides my son, who has had any of Trinity’s blood, is Trinity’s brother. I’m still stunned by the phone call, and it
Trinity POVWith a huge grin on his face, my father scurries off his bed and engulfs me in a hug, almost knocking Lance out of the way in the process. “I’m so happy you are awake, and the baby is fine. I was so worried.” His voice slightly cracks as he tightens his arms around me. I let out a soft chuckle and pat his back as I sit on the bed. “You know I’m a fighter. I wouldn’t have let something like that stop me.” Lance leans against the side of the hospital bed. “I wouldn’t have let her give up, either. There is no way I’m letting her leave me so soon. I would have fought with the moon goddess to bring my queen back.”I shake my head as my father’s grip tightens around me. “Uh, I can’t breathe. Dad, let me go.” He shakes his head. “No. You don’t know what this has done to me. I want a few more moments with my baby girl.”Baby girl. Why does he have to say that in front of all these people? If the hospital beds were empty, it wouldn’t be so bad.Lance pulls at my f
Trinity POV“Trinity! You’re alive!”“Oh, my gosh! Trinity!”“We’re so happy you’re back!”My wolf mutters, “We should have kept ourselves disguised. Everyone might think we are back permanently.”I motion my head to acknowledge the various pack members and give them a small grin as I walk through the bunker towards my parents’ office. For once, I should have thought before I dashed out of the hospital area. I think my pregnancy is having a weird effect on my thinking, besides my emotions. Tears seem to break out at the slightest thing, and now, I can’t predict or see the danger of something. Lance puts his hand in the middle of my back and, through our link, mumbles, “We need to fix this, but later. Our priority is to help your parents and get this volatile situation under control. It has been a few days since the attack, but it doesn’t mean it is the last one. Hopefully, my father has got some intel on who is behind this and is siding with Drake and his father.”A knot for
