The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 199

Chapter 49

Holden

The pain brings me to my knees once again causing my wolf to howl out, knowing that our mate is being shocked once again. Thank the Goddess that it was only the one time this time, but it's one too many if you ask me. I hate that I can't feel my mate; I feel empty without her. The bond is still there, but the emptiness is enormous, and I know that not only me, but Achilles will go insane if we don't get our mate back

soon.

Our plan is solid, or at least we think it is. After bringing in Miss Beatrice to confirm a few things, we worked out all the kinks and now we are ready to go. We know that we have to do this when the moon peaks but the problem was replaceing that exact moment. According to Miss Beatrice, though, the moon's peak is different than what we thought. The moon is out for roughly twelve hours a day, so the peak is actually the time that is smack dab in the middle of those twelve hours. That is not what we were originally thinking, so thank God- dess that Ledger thought to bring the witch in on this to help, otherwise, we would have missed our window.

The time difference is another issue to consider. They are five hours ahead of us and we must use their moon's peak, not ours, so with the moon peaking at eleven forty-five over there tonight; that will make it six forty-five here. We have only a few minutes to get in and get out, without sounding the alarm and bringing hell down upon us. As long as Emery is by herself, it shouldn't be an issue, but if by chance she isn't

alone and we have to fight, the only chance we will have is killing the fucker and breaking all the wards once they go back in place after the allotted downtime.

We have absolutely no qualms about killing the fucker, but the most important part is getting Emery back home. We still have a little over an hour before it's time and so I go in search of my brothers. I feel the need to be with them at the moment, and if I've learned anything, it's to always go with what I'm feeling. When I replace them both in the kitchen, I'mo- tion them to follow me, and I lead them to the Alpha office. "What's up?" Decker asks when he notices me locking the

door.

"I just want to make sure that we aren't disturbed. I felt the need to be with the two of you..."

"Awe, how sweet! We love you too, bro!" Asher bats his eyes and claps his hands together.

"Seriously, Ash? I'm not meaning it like that." I roll my

eyes.

"Well, fuck you then!" He says jokingly.

"I want to try something, and don't ask me why because I don't know why, I'm still learning." I glance around and see that they both are wearing the bracelets that were given to us. Taking mine off, I palm it and instruct my brothers to do the same, "Okay, I want us to hold it up to our mate marks, but we need to link together, so I will hold mine up to Decker's and he to yours," I tell Ash, "And you hold yours to mine. I want to try and see if I can get some kind of vision. Something is telling me to do this, so..."

"Well, say no more then," Asher states, "We know better than to question your feelings, bro!" They both take their bracelets off and palm them just like I did.

I place my hand over Decker's mate mark, letting the amulet touch the marking, then like a domino effect, my brother's do the same until we are forming a circle. Nothing happens, but it's not always that easy either. I close my eyes and think of Emery, but again, I get nothing. When I open my eyes, both Decker and Asher are staring at me.

"How about you two fuckers close your eyes too and con- centrate on our mate." I instruct them both.

"Oh, my bad!" Decker snickers.

"Tell us this next time, bro!" Ash states and then closes his eyes.

I finally close my eyes again and think of our mate. Excite- ment fills me as flashes begin to fill my thoughts, but a second later, they are gone and so is Ash's hand on my neck. My eyes snap open to see what the hell happened, "What the fuck?" I ask as he just stands there staring at me and looking a little spooked.

He shakes his head, "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting to be seeing the flashes as well. It startled me.

"Wait, you guys can see them too?" I ask confused.

They both shake their heads, "I thought it was pretty cool." Decker grins.

I roll my eyes, "Can we please get on with it?"

They both quickly get back in formation and we all close our eyes. The flashes come fast but they repeat themselves until finally we can put them together. Emery is being held in a windowless room, but we can't tell whether it's a basement or what because half the room is cement and the other half is decorated as a bedroom. She's there, lying on her side on the big bed. She seems to be alone, thank the Goddess because I don't miss the fact that she isn't wearing anything, except for that fucking collar.

That's actually a lie, though. Relief flows through me when I see her finger the amulet that she still wears. How she was able to keep that, I don't know, but I'm not going to ques- tion it either. I breathe her name because she is so beautiful, and my brother's follow suit. Suddenly, she sits up and looks around the room before looking down at her amulet. She ei- ther heard us or she felt us, either way, maybe this is the only way that we can tell her that we are coming for her.

Keeping my eyes closed, I speak to my brothers, "Send your thoughts to her; tell her we are coming for her. It may be our only chance."

After a moment, I notice her smile. I can't be sure that she understands, but we can hope. What happens next, though, scares me. Her expression goes from smiling to worry, and maybe even a little fear, and as soon as she lets go of her amulet, the visions are gone.

"Damn it! Something is happening! Did you see the way she looked? Something scared her!" Asher growls and my wolf howls again, knowing that there isn't anything that we can do for our mate at the moment.

We try forming the circle again, and when we get

through, everything is hazy, but I do notice that the fucker is in the room with her, so that may be why we are not getting a clear vision. We may be strong, but with his wards and protec- tions up, nothing is clear.

When we lose the vision all together, I growl and head out of the room, "Where are you going?" Decker calls out.

"I'm going to ask that little fucker that you talked to where this room is because as soon as the clock strikes the peak time, we are not wasting a second on getting to her! I don't want to teleport somewhere in the house; I want that fucking

room."

The witch was very helpful once we threatened his life, and the life of his family. Never in a million years would we ever harm an innocent, but he doesn't need to know that. He thinks shifters are barbaric and that's why we need to be put down, and that works in our favor when we threaten his fami- ly.

The time has come for us to go get our Luna, and after the prisoner sang with all the information that he knew, we now feel really good about getting her back. We know the lo- cation of the house, where the room is at and how many guards are kept outside of her door. We also know how many guards are kept at the location of the family home, and we are not worried, but witches can teleport in and out, so we must still be very cautious.

Seven of us are going, Dad, Ledger, and Emery's uncle, Carter, as well as Miss Beatrice, herself. The guys are going in case a fight ensues and the witch is coming to help me and my brothers, with Emery, jus in case.

"It's time, Alphas. Are you ready to go get your Luna?" The witch grins.

"We are more than ready!" I state as I step up and grab her hand.

Once all of our hands are linked together, making sure we all go to the same location, we nod at Mom and Cici who are here to see us off. It only takes but a flash and we are stand- ing in a familiar room, although the sight before us is not one that I would ever want to see again. My gut twists and Achilles howls, along with Ghost and Blaze, over the sight of their mate and Luna.

Hope you enjoyed this update...sorry about the cliffhang- er! Thank you so much for reading! =)
