Chapter 165
Damien’s POV
One moment the other males and I wereughing and joking around, in the next while our females
were walking back with food and drink, there were earth shaking explosions. ck smoke filled the
air, it burned the eyes and nose, making it hard to see and impossible to smell anything. I could
barely hear anything through the ringing in my ears.
All I could think about was Alora and our pups growing inside her. I had to get to her. Every time I
tried to step forward another bomb wouldnd shaking the ground, and ck smoke would plum out
in a toxic cloud. I was able to get a glimpse across the parking lot, in the direction Ist saw Alora.
She was on the ground,
blood pooling around her head, Sunny was on the ground next to her, and the other females.
When I tried to feel her through our bond, to make sue she was still alive, I came up against nk
space. Another bomb dropped as I was paralyzed for a moment with my anguish at our bond being
nk. The bomb’s plum of smoke blocked the sight of my mate, I let our a roar, calling her name. I
went to move around this
new bomb, only to have more start dropping.
3
Zane like me, was desperate to get to our mate. “Let me out, let me out.” he growls, his desperation
in his voice.
We transform, I let Zane out, now that we are on fourrge paws instead of two feet, we were more
stable. We were crawling forward, Xander and Darien, Jaxon and Victor, all in there wolf forms like
me, following behind. The bombs finally stop falling and we were able to work our way through the
smoke to where our females
had been.
“Sunny!” Asher screamed, he’d been following behind us.
We got to the females, they were all down on the ground, their purchases scattered around them,
except one. Alora was gone. Running forward I try to scent for her, but all I could smell is the smoke
from the bombs. I tried to reach for her through our link, but I came up against that nk space
again. We looked around, we tried
picking up her scent again from the pool of blood still on the ground were we had seen her, but
every time we moved away from the blood we lost her scent.
2
“Sunny, Sunny wake up, wake up!” came Asher’s frantic voice.
There were whinesing from Axel, Darien’s wolf, who was alternating between nuzzling his mate
and licking her face, whining again when his mate didn’t get up..
Darius, Xander’s wolf, was doing the same, Vash and Bruno were sniffing Alora’s blood and doing
what I was doing trying to find her scent.
2
“We can’t feel her, why can’t we feel our mate through our bond!” Came Xander’s frantic mind link,
while Darius was whining and pacing around his mate.
“I don’t know, neither Zane or I can feel Alora.” I growl back, my panic and aguish increasing with
every second I couldn’t find Alora. Not knowing what else to do at
the moment Zane and I sit down next to the pool of Alora’s blood, and we howled our pain loudly. I
knew it would be heard through all our Pack’snds.
1
The store clerk is running out now, he looks frantic. “n Alpha, n Alpha were are you n
Alpha!” he was a Heartsong, and I knew he was looking for Alora.
This caused me to howl another time, tears sprung up in the clerks eyes at the sound of my pain,
looking at him I realize he’s just a pup. His eyes ze, and I know he’s contacting his family.
**We can’t get Serenity to wake up! I can’t feel her through our bond!” Darien calls to me through
our family link.
“Son what’s going on! I heard your howl, where’s Alora! Is she alright!” My mom demanded,
sounding frantic.

Darius and Axel let out matching pain filled howls, calling to our families for help. The pup from the
store is crying
“Son what’s going on, why is Axel howling. My father demanded.
Vash and Brunoe running back, they had gone off in different directions surrounding the gas
station trying to find Alora. They shake their heads when they look at me, they couldn’t find her. My
mate was missing, whoever attacked us just now took my mate.
“They took her, they took Alora, I can’t feel her through our bond, Dad….Mom…I need you I let out
another pain filled howl. 2
Vash, Bruno and the pup from the gas station are now standing near a body not to far away. The
body wasn’t moving, and it looked like the bottom half of it had been burned off. Asher was on his
pont, Nathen, Bryce, and Daniel were on the ground next to him while Asher held Sunny in hisp.
They were looking at me with worry filled eyes, pain in their expressions. 2
behind when the other females went in with Alora.
I transformed, not caring that I didn’t have any clothes on, tears were running down my face, I didn’t
bother to wipe them. “She’s been taken, who ever did this took her.” My voice hoarse.
“No, no, no, this….this can’t be happening.” Came Nathen’s words, disbelief and pain in his tone.
A bunch of vehicles start to arrive. Fire Truck’s, Ambnce, Police, and my parent’s, as well as
Serenity, Kian and Galen’s. Not far behind were Jaxon and Victor’s Parents, another couple arrived
and ran to the pup, scooping him up in their arms. The pups father was a veryrge wolf, and the
mother tiny inparison. Therge wolf was one of our high ranked Enforcers, a border guard..
4
1 knew him because I’d been getting to know all the Enforcers from the Heartsong n. He was a
giant of a wolf with shaggy strawberry blond curls, his name was David. He told me his mates family
owned this gas station, his mate Ginny, and her sister ran it. Their eldest son and daughter along
with two other cousins worked inside it. If I remember right, the boy’s name was Donnie, he had his
father’s hair, instead of his mother’s bone straight chestnut brown.
It was interesting the details that your mind will focus on during an extreme mental and emotional
breakdown. I needed to get myself together, falling apart during a crisis was not what an Alpha did,
and it wouldn’t help me get Alora back, because I would. I couldn’t feel her right now, but I knew she
was alive, and I had to keep myself sane to save her.
My dades to me and hands me clothes, while mom goes to Darien with a set for him. All of us
transform back, the parents of the others having brought hem clothes too. They had heard us all
howl, and knew we would most likely need them. I stood up and got dressed, trying to go over
everything that just happened, trying to memorize every detail.
3
That’s when I thought about the body, that body had to be part of this, getting dressed I get up to go
over to it. My father following me. “What happened son, this looks like a war zone. I’ve locked down
the Pack and sent out patrols.” he says.
“We stopped because Sunny needed to use the restroom. Alora was hungry and wanted to get
something, so she went in with her, Beatrice and Serenity were also hungry, so went in with them
while the rest of us stayed behind. We filled up the vehicles and were just standing in front of them,
ying and joking around.” my throat and eyes were burning, my voice was hoarse, and my cheeks
were wet with my tears.
My dad put a hand on my shoulder, and we were looking down at the half burned corpse of a male,
the male was defiantly dead. His eyes gave that away, the eyes were empty of life, but the face was
frozen into a twisted expression of agony. His body contorted with the agony his face portrayed.
There was scent to the body, underneath the nauseating scent of charred skin and hair. The smell
was fowl, it was a scent Zane and I instantly recognized. This male had been a ck Magic user,,
this means he was either a Wizard or a Warlock. 5
“They all came out together and she had just looked at me…she had that smile, that smile she only
gives to me….and then the bombs started falling.” I stopped talking to take another sniff of the body,
to see if this male was a Wizard or a Warlock.
I couldn’t detect any human to this male, so he was not a Wizard, he was a Warlock. Witches and
Warlocks were created by the Earth Goddess, or mother Earth.
Born from the elements and life of the earth originally, the Earth Goddess was the Moon Goddesses
sister, making the Werewolves cousins to the Supernatural beings. Humans that were Wizard and
Wan’s could be that way by several means.
2
One being very distantly rted to either a Witch or a Warlock, then there were the current
descendants of the Goddess blessed humans who fought in the first war against the ck Magic
Coven. Then there were the descendants of humans given the gift of magic by the Sidhe for doing a
great service for them.
The ck Magic Coven lost the favor of their Goddess when they turned on her teachings, and
twisted their gifts into something that damaged and tried to kill their creator’s realm. The Witches
and Warlocks had been created to protect and nurture the Earth, but the Coven became the
opposite of that, they started to worship something else, something evil, bing the embodiment
of evil themselves.
All this just meant I now knew who took my Alora…my Starlight…and our pups, I suddenly dropped
to my knees, as I was crushed under the wait of my despair. What must she be going through right
now? Zane was howling in agony inside me, his pain and mine deep and crippling, but we had to
find some way to hold it together…for her…for our Starlight…for our pups growing inside her. 2
“Dad.” I croaked, my emotions clogging my voice. He kneels down next to me, and wraps his arms
around me.
“You have to break eventually son, just try and hold it together till we get you home. He says, pain
and understanding in his voice. “We’ll find her son I promise, there is no doubt in my mind that we
will get your Starlight back.”
