Chapter 42

Duncan heard the low growl of the word, Weretigers...then in an instant, he heard Adira and Marnie screaming in his mind link, ambush, antiques, HELP!.
Jack noticed first that Duncan and Marco both had empty looks in their eyes as they held entirely still; Archer, August, and Ashton saw that something was wrong; just as they were going to refer to Jack about their findings, both the Alpha and his Beta let out a horrible deafening howl. In the distance, they could hear several hundred howls answer in return.
Jack motioned for the three werelions to step back from the group and move in behind him, he wasn’t sure what was going on, but he knew it was terrible.
The sounds around them were getting closer and closer; Jack whispered to them, stay still, don't make any sudden or aggressive movements. Something has happened, and they are all about to go into a blood rage.
It's odd, though; I have only ever seen this behavior once when the Luna was attacked. Jack tried to mind link Duncan to no avail. When he tried a third time, he finally got a response.
As Jack had feared, someone had kidnapped their Luna, and now they were out for blood. A pack of solid warrior wolves out for blood is not something you want to get in the way of. He could only hope that Duncan and Marco would keep cooler heads.
All four bystanders looked on in horror as more and more wolves came through the trees; they were everywhere and angry. When they looked back at their host, he was now in a huge golden enraged lycan form.
The only words that Jack could form in his mind were “holy shit.”
Marco, however, didn't shift, he put a hand on the golden Alpha Lycan, and it seemed to calm him down. Marco had a blank look, indicating that he was mind linking and talking to all of the wolves.
The wolves had finally calmed down; all of them lay down with their heads on their paws; it was as if they were waiting for orders. The Golden Alpha, on the other hand, looked ready to kill.
Marco’s mind linked to Jack. Will you change into your bear form and try to talk some sense into him. I would, but to do so, I will have to shift into my wolf; That small second, I will lose my hold over the other wolves and Duncan, and things will go from getting under control to a shit show in less than five seconds.
Jack shifted into his bear form and walked right up the Alpha making chuffing noises. Jack continued to walk around him in a circle, making the noises, till finally, the golden wolf's eyes changed; Jack could feel Duncan was there now.
He quickly shifted back into his human form, sinking to the ground with a wail of pain. Yelling out, "THEY'RE DEAD!!!!......... EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM...ARE..DEAD.......NO TRIAL... NO... MORE.........I..AM......GOING TO KILL.....THEM ALL!!!!.... IF THEY SO MUCH AS…LAY ONE FILTHY...FINGER ON HER.....I WILL GIVE THEM...THE MOST PAINFUL OF DEATHS....!!"
At that moment, all the wolves that were surrounding them were now circling their Alpha. Marco knelt next to him, trying to keep Dunan from going Lycan and storming the town.
"Marco called out; I want all the guards gathered up, every last one that was with the Luna. I don’t care what is going on. I want them all here now. In one hour, I want any evidence, camera footage, and eyewitnesses on the Alpha's desk. I want our trackers out there picking up scents and directions. NOW!!!"
All the wolves gathered in groups and took off in different directions.
Marco looked over at the twins, August and Ashton." I want to know if you are willing to help, and I need to know it now."
The twins looked at Archer. He nodded his ok, and they turned back to Marco.
"What do you need us to do?"
"I need you to go down to the town and do your investigation, keep an eye out for traitors amongst my pack. If you find anything, let me know instantly."
They nodded and took off in the direction of the town.
"You two come over here and help me get the Alpha back to the packhouse."
{Pointing at Jack and Archer}.
"Till I know he has control; he will be dangerous. I must keep him from going into a blood lust frenzy. If that happens, no one is safe. He will not recognize friend from foe, nor will he care."

Adira woke up with a pounding headache; she tried to sit up but soon realized that she was tied down. Her hands were tied above her head; she was kneeling in a cage. She looked around, and she found Marnie in a similar cell.
She could hear arguing on the other side of the door; whoever was yelling sounded pissed! They were not on the list to be taken; they were too high profile. They were supposed to get werewolves lower in ranks so that they wouldn't be missed as easily.
"I DON'T CARE IF YOU WANTED REVENGE; YOU ARE FUCKING MORONS......"
"YOU IDIOTS, !!! YOU THOUGHT THAT BY KIDNAPPING THE PREGNANT LUNA AND THE ALPHA'S SISTER, NO ONE WAS GOING TO NOTICE?!! IDIOTS!!!!"
The rest she could no longer hear because they were walking away. She looked around; it looked like a basement, an old cellar. She tried to mind link Duncan, but nothing happened. It must still be the drug in her system. She would have to wait a while as it moved out of her system.
She tried to whisper to Marnie, but she was still out. Adira then went to her wolf Artemis, nothing. What is going on? Could it still be the drug, or is it more going on? She hoped it was just the drug.
Her position was uncomfortable; she thought about yelling out but wasn't sure she wanted anyone to know she was awake.
She felt like she would pass out again; her last thought was that she hoped Duncan got her previous message. Please, Duncan, find me.
________________

Val was livid beyond pissed; those two morons had ruined it all because of their stupid need for revenge. Now I will have a whole pack of angry wolves out looking for her, and it won't take much for them to find this house.
He decided to take the Luna and the alpha's sister to the scientists; indeed, a female werewolf and a pregnant wolf would fetch him a reasonable price. Enough anyway to put this shit behind him and start over far away from here.
He decided it was best if he and his two loyal guards took the girls out of there, it was best to leave the rest of these morons as cannon fodder. It was what they deserved after fucking up his plans.
He called his two guards to him and discussed the plans; they were to get two females of similar build and coloring to take the place of the female wolves. It would not fool anyone for more than a second, but none will have more than a quick look at them.
It was to delay the idiots from discovering Val's deception. It would be too late when their small minds figured it all out.

Marco, Jack, and Archer were in the Alpha's office. As the doc came in, Duncan lay on the couch and gave him something to calm down. He was still showing signs of losing it.
"Marco!"
"Just for an instant, I could feel them, Adira and Artemis. It was very faint, as if they were far away. I think they are drugged."
Duncan stood up and looked around the room; Apollo had finally calmed down and let Duncan have control once again. They were saved from going into the Killing Rage, but Duncan still wanted blood.
He would find Adria if he had to rip and tear apart the whole lot of them to get to her. There were going to be no reports to the King, no trials. As soon as he had a trail or idea of where they were, he would go.
Jack and the other guy were looking a bit unnerved at what was going on; he was sure that they had no idea that this thing could take place in a wolf pack. Still, his friend Jack kept his cool, which was good. Had they made one unintentional wrong move, it could have led to the group killing them.
Duncan had enough; no more; they wanted a war than the war they were going to get. It was time he showed these evil assholes just what kind of hornet nest they thought they could poke.
He looked at Marco; I will get Adira and Marnie back. No matter how small, I will kill every last asshole who had anything to do with her kidnapping. If one hair is hurt on her head, I will pay every pain back to anyone who touches her.
I WANT THEM ALL.......I WILL HAVE THEM ALL. I AM DONE PLAYING NICE.
At that moment, not caring what anyone thought, he used his Alpha voice on his whole pack.
“FIND HER.”
Jack and Archer watched in awe and a little fear as they could hear every pack member near and far let out a howl simultaneously in answer.
