Chapter 10.

“VALERIE MEDIC CENTRE NOW.” I hear Evan through mind link as I leap from my bed hitting the floor loudly, I spring up going to the closet to get dressed.
“What are you doing? What happened?” Preston asks in confusion and my heart races making me struggle to breath.
“Evan mind linked me, I need to go.” I say between laboured breaths as I toss clothes on and try to focus on my breathing.

“Ok well then I’m coming with you.” He claims while getting up to join me. I nod quickly before taking off out the door, I hear his loud footsteps behind me as I race to the medic centre. Getting inside the doors I smell fresh blood and a lot of it, my eyes dart around as my hearing becomes muffled and my wolf senses kick in.

Nurses and doctors rush around while I push through everyone to get to the Alpha wing where I can hear Evan screaming.
“Find them now!” His voice bellows and I flinch back from the booming sound, Alpha aura seeping out around him making everyone obey.
“What the hell happened?” I ask coming up behind Evan.
“Someone took the babies.” He shrieks and my eyes go wide, my heart gets stuck in my throat while my mind races a million miles a minute.

“What do you mean? How?” I ask in confusion as I look around behind him for Alison.
“Someone cut the babies out of her. I went home for clothes and some of her stuff, when I returned she was bleeding everywhere.” He says while tears begin to stream down his face.
“Where is she, is she ok?” I ask frantically trying to stay calm.

“Blair and Emily just took her in to surgery, she lost a lot of blood.” He states while his eyes fall to the floor and his defeat fills the room suffocating me.
“And the babies?” I ask not wanting to even know.
“Gone, I don’t know where they are.” His voice hollow and empty.

“Valerie can you do something? Picture where they are?” He asks as my eyes are closing.
“I’m already on it.” I answer, I focus pulling up the image of the medic centre, viewing it from my minds eye and I force my body through the halls searching, when I finally see them, two little bundled up beings in the arms of Sloan.

“She has them.” I say through gritted teeth as Anna takes over forcing me to shift before Evan can speak, I bolt out the door and down the hall after Sloan, I feel Preston’s wolf close behind me while I force my large body as quickly as I can through the hallways, my heavy paws hitting the floor hard while rage courses through me.
*What are we looking for?* Preston mind links me as he follows.
*Sloan has the Alpha’s babies, we’re getting them back. Alison isn’t going to wake up and have no idea where her children are.* I answer while we continue.

I see her long blond pony tail come in to view as Anna throws a territorial grown and her head snaps over in my direction. I can’t use my magic until those babies are away from her, I crouch to the ground having a stand off with her, teeth barren, drool drips from my mouth wanting to rip her limb from limb, I knew something wasn’t right with her.

Preston shifts quickly as I stalk her and he moves closer.
“Sloan you need to give us the babies.” He says softly trying to sooth her while I continue snarling.
“You think I’m going to listen to a low life warrior?” She spits as she turns holding the babies away from us, my heart races and my eyes never leave their small forms. I shift back and we corner her leaving her helpless, unable to go any where.

“Why are you doing this?” I ask as my face turns with anger.
“These babies rightfully belong to my family.” She claims and I look at her dumbfounded trying to figure out what she means.
“Hahaha you stupid she wolf. Alison is the first born, her children are heir to our pack, she wasn’t cut out to lead so our parents dumped her.” She says smugly while her laugh echoes through my head.

“What the hell are you talking about.” I ask, my mind flash’s back to my recent vision and it all makes sense. Sloan is Alison’s sister I was watching their mother leave Alison.” My heart races and she continues laughing.
“The little girl born with no wolf, our parents were ashamed of her for being the first born, even as a baby she had no abilities she was completely human.” She says as my mouth drops.
“She grew slower then the rest of us and wasn’t half as strong, our father began to think she wasn’t even his. Theres no way he could have such a weak child.” She claims as I continue to listen.

I keep her talking while Preston lurks closer to her till he’s able to wrap his arms around her small body restraining her so I can take the babies.
“NO!” She screams loudly when Evan finally comes up behind us, I turn handing him the babies while she thrashes trying to get away from Preston. Turning to approach her she bites Preston’s arm hard making him release her and in seconds she’s gone.

I take off shifting to chase after Sloan when I hear Evan demand Preston to follow us, I smell her strong floral scent and I follow it in to the dark realizing it’s the middle of the night. I sprint through the lightless night allowing my eyes to adjust to the pitch black surrounding us, suddenly I’m tackled to the ground and the wind is knocked out of me.

I yelp when I hit the ground, Sloan on top of me biting in to my neck as she’s now in wolf form, I yelp louder trying to pull away from her when I feel blood spray and pain sear through my neck. I force my magic through me like electricity, sending a strong shock through my body and in to her as she falls back, a loud pain retching screech coming from her while she falls.

I stalk over to her when she’s still immobilized, I grab her by the throat shaking her aggressively when my feet are swept up from under me, a hard crunch comes down on my paw and I see Sloans mate, Clayton with my paw between his teeth. I screech kicking him off me when I’m hit over the head with something making the world around me go black and I’m out by the time I hit the ground.


“VALERIE? VALERIE!” I hear Preston yelling at me while I try to find the strength to answer him failing, I hear his gigantic voice muffled as I feel his hands on me, shaking me abruptly as I try to open my eyes.
“Where did she go?” I demand.
“Are you ok? Valerie are you hurt?” He says and I look around frantically.
“I’m fine, where did they go?” I ask again trying to stand as I fumble back to the ground.

“Here, let me help you, Evan took the babies to the medic centre to have them checked out.” He says and my eyes droop while I feel myself collapse in to Preston’s arms, my body moves against him with each step. I hear everyone running around talking while he carries me back through the doors, I feel him set me down on a cold hard surface as my eyes open and the light blinds me.

Laying in the hospital bed I focus on my injury’s allowing my magic to heal me, my paw throbs and I in-vision white healing light surround it making the pain subside.
“Food.” I manage to say as I hear Preston laugh before the door clicks closed behind him. I continue to focus on the pain in my head from being hit as my magic continues to heal me and I’m slowly able to start coming around.

My eyes dart open when I smell pizza fill the air while Preston walks back inside.
“Perfect.” I say taking the box from him making him laugh, the door clicks open and in walks Evan just as I’m about to stuff my face.
“How are you feeling?” He asks and I swallow har before talking.
“I’m ok just tired, hows Alison and the babies?” I ask while taking another bite.

“Alison is still in surgery, Emily came out about an hour ago to update us but nothing since. She should be out soon. The babies are sleeping in the nursery with multiple guards watching them.” He states as I nod still munching away.
“And Sloan?” I ask as my eyes drop feeling embarrassed for not being able to take her down.
“Sloan got away, she took off in to the woods. I have guards out looking for her, until they find her no one comes in or out of the pack.” He finishes and I nod finishing my pizza, the guys decide to let me sleep and go check on the babies so I put my food aside and lay back lowing my mind to slip in to a perfect darkness.
