His Blue Moon Princess
Chapter 89

"... How are they?"

I look to my right. William Blue, the Sapphire Moon Alpha, is staring at me. He looks exhausted, too, with dark circles under his eyes. He hasn't even changed clothes. He reeks of blood and dirt...

I slowly nod. "Nate should be okay... He's still in surgery, but they said his life wasn't threatened. But Damian..."

I choke up. I've never seen him in such a bad state. I thought I was gonna go crazy when I saw him, lying in a bath of blood, not moving. A f*****g nightmare came true. Now I have to stand like an i***t in front of an operation room, waiting for any news. I try to contain myself.

"We don't... don't know for now. Granny Ariana said they gave him the best doctors, but..."

"Didn't the witch do something?"

"She tried... But magic is efficient for diseases, not for injuries, so... Sylviana already did her best."

He sighs and puts his hand on my shoulder.

I didn't think I would be back in this hospital so soon... What a freaking mess. After everything was over, I still remember this nightmare scene we witnessed. People had died, and a lot more were injured. Badly injured. I helped as much as I could, despite my own injuries, but we couldn't save everyone.

Among the dead were Vincent Greene, the Jade Moon Alpha, Andrew Jones, from the Violet Moon, and even William's Beta, David. Lynch O'Crowley from the Celtic Moon, too. Old Man Seaver is in a bad shape, too; we don't know if he's going to make it until dawn. Each Clan suffered casualties.

The Gold Moon Clan is really over. Damian killed Taaron King, and all the packs killed the rest of their members. The Rising Moon was a bit luckier, though. Their Alpha, Mari Tsukiko, gave up quite quickly once she saw how bad things were getting. Guess she didn't want to see her whole Clan suffer the same state. She stepped down from her position and submitted to William. Guess he will decide whatever happens to them now.

But honestly, I couldn't care less.

All I want is to make sure Damian makes it. The surgeon said the bullet was close to his heart, and he lost a lot of blood already. A lot of people volunteered to donate blood, but no one can guarantee that will be enough. The surgery to remove the bullet is still ongoing, and I have no idea how long it will take. It's been three long hours already.

I punch a wall of the hospital. If only I was stronger! Nate was found unconscious, too, with two damn silver bullets in his shoulder and leg. No one knows what happened to him, only that gunshots were heard. Some fucker had a damn g*n and used it on my brothers. And Nora...

"Liam?"

I raise my head.

Sylviana comes to me and takes me in her arms. Thank Moon Goddess she is fine... Aside from a couple of bites, she made it. She was the one who found Damian first and helped keep him alive until we could call an ambulance. "He's going to be okay, Liam."

I hide my eyes in her shoulder. I can't believe what's going on... Damian and Nate are severely injured, and Nora is missing. No one knows what happened to her. The last one who saw my brother's mate was William, and the werewolves he had sent with her were found dead. No trace of Nora's body, only hints of a fight, and a lot of her blood on the scene.

The worst is no one could mind-link her since then, no matter how hard and long we tried. We don't even have Sylviana's butterfly to watch her- she left it with my brother!

"Syl, we have to replace Nora. If Damian wakes up and replaces she's disappeared..."

"I know. Have you asked Elena?"

"She's not answering, either! Clark doesn't know where she is, and we can't even reach Daniel!"

If only Bobo was up! But he's been unconscious since the battle. It's been four hours; I hope he can come to his senses soon!

Sylviana shakes her head and takes my head in her hands. "Liam, look at me. Your brothers and Nora need you right now. You're are not doing any good staying here."

"She's right", says William. "Without Black, I mean your eldest brother, at least two Clans are lost. We left Clark and Tiffany to handle things at the stadium, but we need to act fast."

I slowly nod. I never thought that day would come, but s**t, here it is. That cursed day when I have to take over for my brothers... I think of Damian again. You have to make it, Big Brother.

I take out my phone, and call Isaac and Neal, their Betas, making sure William hears me, too.

"I want every single werewolf looking for Nora. No more territories, no more holding up. You tell the chief of the police to help, too. I want all of our people to search every street, every building, every corner where she could be. Sean and Vane take over to direct everyone, Joshua and Isaac go look for clues at the stadium. Tell the Jade Moon to watch the border meanwhile. No one goes out and no one comes in until we replace the Luna!"

I hang up, and William and Sylviana nod. The Sapphire Moon Alpha takes out his phone and starts giving similar orders. I take out my phone, looking for another number.

"Clark Hamilton, it's Liam Black. Find Elena Whitewood. She was with my brother a few hours ago, she...."

But before I can finish my sentence, I spot that Elena right at the end of the corridor.

Sylviana almost runs to her. "Elena! What are you doing here?! Are you okay?"

But that woman looks lost and scared. She ignores Sylviana to talk to me.

"Liam... Where is Nate?"

"He's in surgery."

"He's fine, Elena, he will make it."

But the blonde woman starts crying anyway, looking shocked. s**t, isn't it bad for her to be in this state? With the baby and all?

"Oh Moon Goddess, Nate... What happened?"

While Sylvia explains everything to her, or a simpler version of it, I talk to Clark Hamilton. Since we found Elena already, I ask him to help watch the border, though the man looks already busy fighting with their branch Clan. I don't give a damn about their problems for now, though.

Nora has been missing for almost four hours already, and that scares me the most. Damian might really die if anything happens to her. Suddenly, my phone rings. s**t, Lissandra... She lost her father tonight, and took over the Violet Moon Clan right away. She didn't even stop to cry or mourn and helped us with all the injured.

“Lissandra?”

"We found a sucker from the Gold Moon trapped under some of the rubble. We made him talk. He said that b***h Alexandra helped a man get in and out of our territories in the last few weeks, several times." "Who?"

"Some psycho named Marcus Sickels. Does that ring a bell? He said she even helped that guy get a g*n with f*****g silver bullets! I bet he was the one who shot your brothers."

....And the one who took Nora. s**t, if that guy has Nora, we have to act fast! I hang up and turn to Sylviana and Elena.

"It's bad, really bad. The psycho who was after Nora, it's him. He took her and shot my brothers."

Elena's eyes open wide. "You've got to be kidding me?"

"I'm not! We have to replace Nora, fast!"

But Elena shakes her head, panicked. "I can't! She must be unconscious, I can't reach her at all!"

"...Maybe I can help."

Whose voice is that? I turn around, looking for its owner, and spot an unknown guy at the end of the corridor. His hair is in a mess, and he's in a hospital gown. Why does he look familiar? Elena and Sylviana look clueless, too. I stand in front of them. This guy is a werewolf, why don't I recognize him?

"Who are you?" I ask, using my Alpha voice.

He snorts. "Someone who needs to atone for his past deeds. I know where Marcus may be keeping her."

He steps forward, but I don't even bother growling. This guy has close to no werewolf aura at all... When he comes closer, I finally recognize him. Shit... "You're..."

"Alec. I'll help you replace my little sister."
