Betrayal

Damon POV



I had woken up to Allison being ripped from my grip. I was up in a flash. I growled, warning off whoever dare disturb us. I could see the fear in Allison's eyes. But saw no one around her. I went to jump up from the bed but found myself being thrown by an invisible force. In an instant, the whole world turned black as I heard my mate scream my name. We couldn't catch a f*cking break, could we?



I woke up to Lena shaking my shoulders violently.

"Damon! Damon! Please wake up, someone's taken Allison!" She pleaded to me.

I groaned and tried to sit up, but my entire body was on fire. I winced as the pain coursed through my body, defeated, I lay there. I felt so powerless. What kind of Alpha has his mate kidnipped twice?

Chad, Allison has been taken. I need an immediate search party.

WHAT?! Yes, right away.

"A search party will be organized. Could you do a locator spell?" I asked Lena.

"Yes, I need something of hers. Now that I have a closer connection to her, it'll be easier to find her. Are you okay? What happened?" She threw questions my way, with good reason. She just got Allison, and she was taken again right from under our noses.

"I honestly don't understand what happened. One moment we were sleeping, the next Allison was ripped out of bed, but the weird thing is, is that I couldn't see anyone. But I could tell from the fear in Allison's eyes that there was someone here. I tried to help her but I was thrown against the wall before I must have passed out. I don't know who or what took her, they didn't have a scent, or they are masking it somehow." I forced myself to get up, I held my breath as I tried not to scream in agony. My body truly felt horrible. What could throw someone of my size with such force and so easily at that? I put my hands on the floor and pushed myself up into a standing position. It was painful as all hell, but I needed to find Allison.

"No smell, threw you against the wall and you couldn't see them?" She confirmed.

"Yes."

"I have a reveal spell, I might be able to uncover who is behind this." Lena then rushed out of the room.

I tried to follow but found my body weak. I held onto the bed for support.

Lena came back a moment later with a large book in her hands.

"Sit down, I can heal you." I obeyed and sat on the bed. Welcoming the comfort that resting my body gave me.

She then pulled some kind of plant out of her pocket, and started to sprinkle it over my body. She then started chanting in a foreign language, and the plants along my body lit up. I felt my pain easing awake and noticed the plants shriveling and dying around me.

Soon, my pain was completely gone.

"Thank you, how did you do that?" I inquired.

"I am not a healer, but I can put someone's pain into something else living, like those plants. You were in so much pain that they wilted and died. Now, I need something of Allison's, we will try the locator spell."

I got up as Lena grabbed some candles from around the room and placed them in a circle on the floor. I found one of Allison's favorite books on her dresser. She used to read this book over and over again. I handed it to Lena.

She took it and sat down, "I will need one of your hands, you are connected to her too."

I placed my hand in hers, and she placed her opposite hand on the book. Her swaying began as she chanted. The room getting windy, the furniture shaking as Lena shouted her chants. I looked at the wall, as if being played by a movie projector. An image appeared on it. It was Allison, in a cell again. She didn't look scared, she was holding her own, talking to a man and a small woman. The woman looked to be very old. I looked at Lena, but her eyes were completely white. I realized this image was being played through her eyes.

She gasped and the entire room went completely still.

"What is it? Do you know where she is?" I asked.

"I can't believe my eyes, I was always told she was dead. This isn't good at all, no, no no, dammit" Lena muttered to herself.

"Lena, what is going on?" I panicked.

"Lucy Hunt, Lucy Hunt is still alive. She was supposed to have died decades ago." She sighed in disbelief.

"Oh shit, what are we going to do?"

I didn't waste any time, I got up from the bed and went straight to the pack boardroom, knowing that was where Chad would be organizing the search party.

I opened up the door, the room was filled with warriors alongside Chad and Leroy.

"We know who took her, Leroy, I need you to look into any homes under the name Lucy Hunt. It's most likely not the cabin, so for now we will rule that place out. We are going to need more people. It's not going to be easy to get Allison back. We need to be strategic," I instructed.

Half an hour was spent organizing more people together. In total, we had 200 warriors prepped for battle.

Leroy had found multiple properties under Lucy's name, but the one that stuck out to me was the brick mansion-style house. Something about it was almost calling my name, like I was drawn to it.

"This is the place." I pointed to the mansion on the screen.

"We will have to scout the area first, figure out how many guards there are, what their shifts look like. What do you think, Damon?" Chad asked.

"I think you and I scout, the rest of the warriors stay close, but not so close that they can scent you all out. Chad, you and I are going to mask our smells. Let's move out." Chad and I led everyone out of the packhouse.

Lena was waiting outside for us,"I want to go, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if someone got killed while looking out for me. Now I have a potion for you and Chad. I overheard your plan. This will mask your scent entirely for an hour, it'll kick in the moment you drink it."

I sighed with relief, thankful I didn't have to argue with her to convince her to stay. Chad took the bottle and placed it into his bag.

"Thank you Lena, I promise we will get her back." I genuinely meant it, I would do anything to get Allison back.

"Do me another favor and kill that b*tch Lucy while you're at it." She snarled, angry that her granddaughter was taken again.

I chuckled, I could see where Allison got her sassy side from,"Of course," I replied.

With that we were off, we decided to travel in wolf form to get there faster. The warriors all ran half a mile behind Chad and I.

After an hour of running, we knew we were getting close. Chad and I shifted and I sent out a mind-link to all the warriors that traveled with us.

Stop here, stay alert and wait for direction.

Chad and I both shifted into our human form, retrieving our clothes from his bag. Then we both drank out of the potion bottle.

I sniffed the air, making sure it worked. I couldn't scent Chad at all, just as Lena said, it had kicked in instantly.

We both walked quietly towards the large bushes that surrounded the entire property. We walked into the bushes, being sure not to make a sound.

We stood at the edge of the bush. We could see the mansion clearly from this point. We watched as guards walked around the outside of the house.

After watching for 45 minutes, we picked up on their routine.

The guards switched positions every 15 minutes on the dot. There were ten guards out front, ten out back, and 3 on each side.

Our biggest mystery was how many guards awaited us inside.

I want to keep this as quiet as possible. We have no idea how many are inside, but we can say for sure how many are outside. I want to take them out with bows. We need to move fast because they will smell everyone. We need ten archers out front, ten out back and three on each side. I want two warriors per archer to protect them while they take out their targets. The moment you take out the outdoor guards, I want all the warriors surrounding the house. Chad and I are going inside. When I send the all clear, I want twenty warriors to enter the house, you will travel in form as one. Let's move.

We came prepared, every warrior had brought a bag with the weapon they did best with. We had archers, we had some that could fight with swords, and others that brought snipers. We wanted to be as quiet as possible, so right now archers were our most silent choice.

Chad and I moved undetected across the lawn, hiding behind the decorative bushes as we moved. Taking advantage of our last fifteen minutes of being scentless.

We waited behind a large fountain while the archers took out the outdoor guards, not wanting to give them a chance to signal others that there was a threat. We entered the mansion, and it seemed empty, except for the smell of my mate. I couldn't help myself. I started to run, following her delicious smell. I didn't care who was in my way, I would kill them instantly.

I could hear Chad close on my heels. I stopped dead in my tracks, I heard a scream, Allison's scream. I took off, running at wolf speed. I stopped at the door where her scent was strongest. I kicked it straight off of the hinges.

I stormed into the room and what I saw next shocked me.

Allison, with another man inside of her. All I could see was red, I wanted to rip that f*cker to shreds. I was so angry I didn't even notice the witch in the room, she looked just as shocked to see me. I yelled. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Just when I didn't think it could get any worse, Allison marked him and he began to mark her. Before he could finish marking her, I ran to them. I ripped him off of her. How could she do this to me?

I gripped his throat tightly, ready to break his neck.

I heard a choking sound coming from the bed. I dropped the man immediately. The witch had Allison with a knife to her neck.

"Make another move and I will kill her." She pushed the knife into her neck, enough to draw blood to prove her point.

Allison looked at me with guilty eyes.

I will explain everything once we get out of here. Don't kill him Damon, please trust me. I love you.

Allison pleaded into my mind.

I wanted so badly to leave her here with this man, but I would never. I loved her no matter what. This cut deep but I would never leave my Allison in danger.
