65.
*"Well hello, princess or should I say, runt."*
Emma, Jonah, and Noah were cornered in the room behind Caleb's shield.
"You four are with him?!" Emma yelled in disbelief. The same warriors of Moon Dust who swore to protect their pack were traitors. Doesn't anyone believe in loyalty anymore? Emma thought to herself.
"And why not? Being a strong purebred in a puny secluded pack wasn't good enough for us" one said.
"Power is the key runt. Now put down that shield and come with us" another spat.
Noah and Jonah shifted in defense, protecting their princess and prince.
"How sweet you got your big brothers fighting your battles" one sneered.
"Enough of this," another yelled coming through the door walking straight to the shield.
As his hand touched the shield, a surge of electric power coursed through his body, shaking him violently, he was thrown against the table which broke on impact. They all waited for any sign of him being alive but nothing showed.
"Now Caleb," Emma said to her cousin.
Noah and Jonah quickly shielded her with their bodies; Caleb pushed his protective shield of lightning power wider to eclipse the room and everything within its path was blown away.
The remaining three men flew against the wall, the shards of furniture impaled two while the other man's neck snaps upon impact against the wall.
Caleb's power was only at a low level and was able to do much damage.
"You ready?" He asked as she came to his side.
"Yes let's find my mother," she said following Noah out the door as Jonah stayed behind them.
The other safe room was two hallways from them, hurrying to the room they sought out the scents of both queens and the other females in the safe room.
"It's faint," Emma murmured. Noah stopped them abruptly in front of him were four dead guards with their throats ripped out savagely.
"What the fuck are they? These were royal guards the best" Caleb said looking at the corpses in front of the now broken door. Emma didn't wait for an answer and ran into the room looking for her mother. Her heart dropped as she saw evidence of blood by the sofa.
'Mom?! Please answer me. Where are you?' she called out desperately as she ran out the door in search of her dear mother.
'Hide. Don't come looking for me. They're in the castle. Go hide baby' was the response urgency was heard in Arabella's words but Emma didn't listen.
Frantically she began her search with her brothers and cousin both begging her to go hide and keeping out of sight.
The rumbling of the ground made them stop abruptly as they approached the grand ballroom. "You can't protect her for long, queen. Now, where is she?" An unfamiliar voice shouted.
"Like if I would give up my own pup" they heard Arabella spat. Growls were heard they sounded as if they were approaching their prey, whimpers were heard. The four young wolves eased closer to see how much of a danger the queen and the other women were in.
Surrounding them were vampires and wolves all with darkening eyes, 'Dark power from my father is in them,' Caleb told Emma.
'This is crazy. All this for a crown' she replied thinking of a way to rescue her family.
'Not just the crown. Power.' Caleb said angrily. His anger was targeted to his father of not what he is trying to gain but putting his selfish reasons and plots before his own son. Caleb's resentment towards his father triggered his powers without his knowledge. 'His own blood. He wouldn't even acknowledge his own damn son. Just because he's a half-blood' Caleb thought to himself.
An energy ball of electric power formed in his palms, his eyes were narrowed as he watched the wolves bait the queen. Emma watched her cousin as she felt his power surged through the air around them.
'Blessed as you and Michael,' Alia commented.
"Time to prove to my father of how wrong he is," Caleb grounded out throwing the energy ball above one of the wolves' head.
Their attention switched to the newcomers for a second before Arabella used the distraction to raise the ground beneath the men who blocked the exit and brought them crashing down hard, knocking them unconscious. Noah and Jonah shifted and immediately attacked the vampires but they had an advantage on the twins -their speed.
Emma was defending herself as both wolf and vamp tried to get closer to get her in their grasps. Caleb was the most brutal one. He spared no one who came towards him. With each one that tried to get close, he sent a surge of electricity through their bodies.
"Mom get them out now" Emma shouted to Arabella as she noticed how the other women with her mother were getting weaker from defending themselves.
"I'm not leaving you here" she replied angrily.
"Caleb" Emma yelled as a vampire blurred past her. He knocked her to the ground, Caleb saw and tried to attack him. Emma created bolts of lightning, making each bolt strike their enemies. Five wolves fell with her attack; she struggled to get up with the constant vampires trying to keep her to the ground.
Alia was getting angry, pushing her next attacker against the wall with a force no one could survive, dragging him up the length of the wall then letting go, Emma was finally on her feet. "Caleb now" she called out.
Instantly he created a shield around the women, three wolves rushed to them but only found their deaths as their bodies convulsed with electricity.
On cue something happened that Emma feared, the sounds of gunshots then painful screams of her brothers filled her ears. This was a great distraction for both Emma and Caleb.
"No. No. No." She cried standing still, paralyzed with fear and shock.
Nothing else mattered to her as she saw Noah and Jonah falling to the ground in wolf form, wolves surrounded them ready to attack them at their weakest.
"STOP" she screamed striking the feral wolves around her brothers with a surge of power due to her anger and fear.
"Emma watch out," Caleb screamed still fighting off oncoming wolves and keeping a shield over the women.
Emma turned but was too slow as she felt a tiny prick in her neck. "You've been a bad girl Emma," a familiar voice said, her skin crawled in disgust as the person's breath tickled her neck.
Her body felt weak and powerless, with great effort she turned to Caleb, vampires were holding him down as they bound his wrists with silver cuffs. His glazed eyes were focused on her, fear and shock filled them as tears rolled down his cheek. They injected a pink fluid into his neck and his body gradually went limp.
'Emma. Baby, please. Fight it. Please sweetheart' Arabella cried out to her daughter as she kept away the remaining men from attacking since Caleb's shield went down.
Emma couldn't respond, her mother sounded distant to her, Alia was also trying to reach her human but couldn't.
She was turned around by her captor quickly. "Missed me, babe?" Aiden said smirking.
"H-how?" She weakly asked.
He shrugged. "You should really pay attention to your surroundings" was all he said before he roughly bit over her mate mark.
Emma was too weak to fight off Aiden but she was able to let out the most painful scream as her body tried to fight off another wolf's mark. Alia cried out to her mate and her human but her human was long gone. The bond between her and Zane was weak as she got to him.
"Finally you're mine" Aiden whispered in her ear.
'Michael' she weakly called out to her mate.
'Emma' Michael returned in disbelief and pain.
Aiden lifted his new luna in his arms while the other men took Caleb leaving the twins in the middle of the room fighting for their lives.
Arabella couldn't do anything as she watched the men take her pup away, she was weak and hurt along with the other women. Malcolm's men paid them no attention. They got what they were after, knowing they pleased their king.
Emma was weak and darkness threatened to take over, with little strength she fought to stay awake, calling out to Michael or her father hoping they can hear her.
'I love you Michael.' was the last message she sent to her mate before the darkness of unconsciousness took over.
