Chapter 70


    Ares POV


    The air felt suffocating and I blink into the darkness. Ah a headache, my head hurts. It feels like


    someone is using a hammer and is hammering inside my head. D amn.


    I try to remember what happened right before the darkness but my memory is blurry. I was talking to


    someone, who was it? Helios? or dad?


    But then I was walking towards Nora’s room with some wildflowers that I had picked and someone was


    blocking the way. A guard? No, I didn’t recognize him and my lycan was growling.


    But I think I have seen him before. But I can’t remember, stu pid head. Something isn’t right here.


    Lycans can’t use magic like that.


    *Can someone hear me, help* I send out a mindlink to everyone everywhere.


    But no one answered and I sigh.

    I reach out my hand slowly and feel nothing so I try to sit up and I can, I feel around and I can feel the


    floor under me. Stone. I try to sniff the air but my lycan is sleeping so he can’t help me.


    Suddenly there is light as someone opens a door and a


    scream is heard and I blink my eyes quickly. What the hell?


    Uncle Dave PQV


    So right now both my nephews are missing, Melinda said that she could feel her sister’s presence in


    the castle and now they are missing.


    Both me and my brother are searching through the entire castle but we can’t find them. It’s just like


    magic.


    “Excuse me, Dave?” a guard approached me and I nodded for him toe closer.


    “I found this in the ce where prince Ares disappeared.” He says and gives me a piece of paper and a


    ck feather.


    *The princes’ is mine. Trade him for the princess and I might send back one of them alive*


    What the hell, I look up just to see that the guards are gone. Strange I didn’t even hear him walk away.


    Nora!


    I run down the stairs and barge into Nora’s room and Daniel jumps up from his ce and looks


    confused to see me.


    “What is happening?” he aska and I see Nora is stillying in her bed, sleeping.


    I show the paper to Daniel and he looks at Nora as well.


    “I shall go to my brother, keep an extra eye on her, I don’t know what is going on right now” I say to


    Daniel and in a few seconds he has shifted into his lycan form.


    “We will keep her safe” he growled out.


    I nod and go out and try to find my brother but I found him rather quickly as I heard his loud voice.


    Yelling again.


    “Where in the hell are my sons!” my brother yelled and as I walked around the corner I saw who it was


    that he was yelling


    at


    Mariah stood there calmly and waited patiently for him to


    calm down. She nced at my way but didn’t say anything. I walked up to them and put my hand on


    my brother’s arm.


    “Calm down.” Your sons are strong.” I say and he calms down and nods.


    “I am so frustrated,” my brother said and shook his head.


    “I should have killed her the moment I knew who she was and then nothing of this would have


    happened” he says and a ringing of growls is heard.


    “Take it easy, I will not kill her, I can’t. She saved me.” he says but everyone present looks at him warily.


    “This would have happened even if you had killed Nora. This is bigger than her and us. I feel that


    someone else is pulling the strings. Not Maya. Someone with more power and it seems whoever this


    one person is has a goal in their mind and I am quite curious about what it is” Mariah exins.


    “Whatever it is, I don’t care right now. I want my sons back. I can’t lose them as well” my brother


    deres and leans on to the wall.


    I don’t think I have ever seen him this broken before.


    “So what do you think we should do now?” I ask Mariah and


    she looks at-me surprised.


    “You are asking me?” she ask me back,


    “Well the things we have done are nothing and as lycans we often rush in blind so why not. Perhaps


    you have something better in mind?” I say and shrug.


    Melinda stands up and I noticed that I hadn’t noticed her before or the niece for that matter.


    “I can trace Ares” Mia suddenly say


    “How?” I ask her.


    “We can trace them both but Mia would be able to pinpoint Ares” Melinda says and my brother looks up


    “How?” my brother asks and looks hopeful


    “Blood magic” Mia says and everyone looks at her.


    “No, that is dangerous” I protest but Mariah has already pped Mia on her cheek.


    “I told you, not to mention anything like that ever again” Mariah say and Mia looks shocked


    “I didn’t mean the forbidden magic, just a blood drop on a map” Mia whispers and I look at Mariah in


    confusion


    “Have you been able to figure out how it works now?” Melinda asks with a gentle smile.


    “Yes, it was like you said.” Mia says but doesn’t smile.


    “Do you have a map?” Melinda turns to ask me and I nod


    I go and fetch a map andy it on the table in the dining room. Melinda takes out a dagger and pri cks


    my brother in his finger and he drops it on the map. Mia starts to chant a spell and we watch as the


    blood kind of moves over the map.


    Sliding across ournd and into another territory then the blood divides into two lines.


    “They are at two different locations, Helios are at the knight kingdom and Ares are at the ze kingdom


    ” Melinda says as she reads the map.


    “Wait” Mia says and puts her hand on the map and she holds a crystal in the other.


    Then the blood that showed where Ares’ are changes


    direction andes back into our kingdom andnds.. here.


    He is here.
