Lucius's POV Silence loomed in the room and I felt my heart freeze in place as I looked at Owen. Something within me told me to go to him. Something pushed me to do his bidding.Play with him. He was worried about Diane, maybe as much as I was. I wanted to make him happy but I couldn't abandon Fred right now in this situation because of Owen.Everything had its importance. I left Lucas in charge and I was certain Diane was in good hands but her grandfather wouldn't be so lucky if I didn't take him away from these cruel people.With a heavy heart, I got on my knees to the boy's level and kissed the top of his head."I promise you, Owen, we are going to find mummy. We are going to help her no matter what. You understand?" I whispered to him but he shook his head and pointed to the door.I looked at the door and turned my eyes back to him. There was something he was trying to tell me."Okay, I get you. But first I have to finish this. Stay here." I carried him and placed him on the chai
Lucius's POV"I do not have time to play around Owen! Get back here right now!" I yelled but he stumped away and left me there.I closed my eyes in frustration and tried to calm myself."Children can be very strange beings to deal with..." I heard a strange voice behind me.I turned toward it and saw that it was a guard with a large ugly scar across his face. His face didn't look familiar and I couldn't remember him at all."My King," he said, making a similar dramatic bow just like Kasper. "I am Stone, at your service," he added.My wolf hated the aura coming off of him at once but I calmed it."What pack do you belong to?" I asked him."The Alpha Kasper, my King," he said, and mentally rolled my eyes.Of course, he would be from his pack. I should have known."Then I believe you should go to the conference room, your alpha must need your services more," I said to him and started walking down the rows of containers to find my son.As I moved, I realized that the strange guard was sti
Diane's POVI got up and started pacing around the dark and cold prison I had been locked in. Owen was going to bring Lucius. They were coming to save me. I just had to hold on for a while longer.My fingers were shaking as my anxiety took the better of me but I didn't stop I continued moving about. I believed the exercise would help calm my nerves.I didn't know how long I moved about but I stopped when I heard Owen's tiny little voice again."Mummy!" He yelled and I paused.All my senses were focused as I tried to listen in more closely but as it was typical of Owen he didn't say anything at all.I rushed over to the door and pressed my ear to it, trying to figure out if he had come with someone else."No! Mummy!" Owen repeated and I wondered what was riling him up.I raised my fingers and started knocking against the door as hard as I could, hoping that whoever was with Owen could hear me."Help!" I cried out, my voice completely gone from all the screaming and little hydration."P
Lucius's POV"Our castle! My kingdom?" I hissed not being able to comprehend what he was saying. How could they kidnap her and bring her to my kingdom? That was crazy to even imagine."Are you sure about this? They could have taken her anywhere from the point where you lost the connection..." I pointed out."No, Lucius. I am sure about this. The castle is the closest location. She is in there somewhere. It's now up to you, you have to find her." The call ended but I could still feel Lucas' voice echoing in my head."She was here... She was here..." I mumbled more to myself as I started pacing trying to fix the puzzles together. The only person stupid enough to kidnap Diane and bring her back here was Jolynn. There was no doubt about it and if I was going to find her, I had to get it out of Jolynn.Filled with rage and anger, I started making my way out of the room when Fred stopped me."My King —Lucius, please let me come with you, I can find her too. Let me help find my granddaughte
Diane's POV"You did this!" I spat out glaring at her.I was right in guessing that she would have done this.She folded her arms across her chest and smiled.Her smile only increased my anger. How dare she?I was up on my feet in seconds and I moved menacingly to the door. "What do you stand to gain by doing this? huh?"She closed her eyes and flapped them open once again. Then she stretched her nails forward and blew at them."You know, for a human girl, you are very smart and I am almost jealous!" She chuckled.My eyes narrowed at her statement as I was certain it made no sense. Why would she refer to me as a human girl when she was one herself?I shook my head, ignoring her silly babble. I raised my finger at her and closed the distance between us."I don't know what madness is going on in your head but you have to release me, Jolynn. You won't get Lucius! Just think about it for a second," I breathed, dropping my hand to my waist."You have been with him all your life and he didn
Diane's POVThe air in the room suddenly turned hot and instant beads of sweat formed on my forehead as the scarred man began to approach me."What are you doing?" I asked in a shaky voice as I took a cautious step back.Jolynn's face broke into a grin as she watched me and slowly the grin expanded till it became a full-on laugh. A crackling sound echoed through the walls of my prison filling me with more dread than I have ever found in my entire life."Go get her Stone!" She snarled and the scarred man slapped his hands together in anticipation."Jo—Jolynn... You don't have to do this..." I stuttered as the man came at me. He wasn't running. He was walking in a comfortable space like a predator who was absolutely certain of his prey."Oh, don't ruin the fun," Jolynn cackled.From the corner of my eyes, I watched as she bent over and picked up the paper I had so conveniently thrown away."I told you I was going to enjoy your beautiful little body before you died, didn't I?" The scarre
Lucius's POVAlmost a day had passed and I still had no idea where Diane was. I tried threatening Jolynn but that psychopath was a dead end. "I think we should trail her," Fred said in a calming voice. "Let's go after her and find out where Diane is!"I stopped pacing and looked at him with narrowed eyes. My eyes had a million questions, but before I could speak he explained what he meant."You are certain that this Jolynn girl has my granddaughter, And your beta is certain that they have her here?" He asked.I pulled the vanity chair that was nearby and sat down on it. "Yes, but what if they have moved her deeper into town? What if that was just bait to lead us off their trail? What if she isn't even with Diane?"The possibilities were endless and it was slowly driving me insane."None of what we have is a step closer to finding her because it seems the more we found out, the farther she slips from my fingers."Fred was quiet but I could tell he was thinking. "We are losing time and
Lucius's POVThe aura twirling around me was enough to send every guard I crossed off my path. I couldn't even register the sounds they produced in the form of greeting as they saw me pass.My blood was pumping in my ears and all I saw was red. I wanted blood and I was going to get it if that Stone decided to play the fool.I got to the reception where an old retired guard sat down to a large book. He immediately saw me approaching him, he got to his feet and bowed."My King—""What room is Stone from Alpha Kasper pack?" I asked, cutting off his greetings.Seeing the look on my face, the old man nodded quickly and got to work. He opened the large book in front of him and started checking the names, with his finger tracing over it.I was starting to lose my temper when he raised his head and pointed to a room down the end of the corridor."It is that exact door but on the second floor, My King," he said.Not waiting for more details, I moved to the stairs, taking it two at a time. When
