    Damien’s POV


    I opened my eyes andid there for a moment, tears falling down my face. It took me a second to


    realize, even though Zane and I were no longer in her space, we could still feel our mate. I sat up


    really fast at that realization.


    “Starlight?” I asked through our link, my wordsing hesitant. I was afraid what happened wasn’t


    real.


    “I’m here my love, they can’t silence our connection again.” Her sweet melodious voice sounded in


    my ears. I closed my eyes and covered my face, suppressing a sob.


    ‘Thank the Goddess” I said internally.


    I could ‘hear’ my mate again, and I could feel her emotions once more. However when I tried to


    sense what direction she was in, it was like my internalpass was broken, and the needle was


    spinning around and around, unable to find north.


    It was my mother’s warm arms around me and her whispered words offort that made me


    remember the reason I had woken up, was because someone had been calling my name.


    “I know it’s hard to be away from her son, but we’ll find Alora soon.” My mother said softly.


    “Thank the Goddess, I love you, I love you so much.”I took the opportunity to tell her Alora through


    our link, I couldn’t hold it back. Our separation has been hell for


    1.

    “Ah, mate, you have suffered. When we are together again, I’ll stay glued to your side.” She said.


    Her voice, and the love I felt from her were providing a soothing balm I so desperately needed.


    I dropped my hands from my face and I met my mother’s gaze. “I can feel her again, I can talk to


    her, she broke through one of their spells.” I told my mother in a hoarse tear filled voice.


    My mother looked at me in shock and abruptly sat down on the bed, tearsing into her eyes.


    “Alora…you can really feel her again…and hear her?” she asked. surprised, her expression full of


    hope.


    “Tell mom when we get me and our pups home, I want her sevenyersagna with extra meat


    sauce.” She told me.

    I let out a chuckle. “She said that when she and the pup’s get back…she wants your sevenyer


    lasagna.” My voice was slightly choked with my tears. Mom gasped and covered her mouth with her


    hands, holding in a sob, her eyes filled with tears, her expression a mixture of hope and happiness.

    “I can’t feel the direction she’s in, but at least I’m no longerpletely cut off from her.” I told her,


    not wanting to get her hopes up too much.


    Mom’s expression went through several changes, in the end she just jumped up and wrapped me in


    her arms. “I’m so happy, Alora and your pups are still alive.” She said in a voice filled with emotion.


    “I don’t know when we will be able to finally bring her home, but she says she’s fine for now.” I told


    her.


    “They can’t touch me now, not with the spells activated.” Alora said in aforting tone. “Tell her


    and your dad I love them, tell my parents, and my siblings too, please?*


    “I will…how are you still talking to me while being drugged unconscious?” I asked her in a curious


    tone, just now thinking about that.


    “My body is unconscious, my mind is not.” she said “It’s like an out of body experience or astral


    projection.”


    “Well that is certainly interesting.”1mented back.


    My mom was sitting next to me watching, she had already realized I was conversing with Alora, and


    was trying not to ask what it was we were talking about. The strain from holding back her questions


    was visible on her face. I gave her a half smile and chuckled.


    “Alora said she loves you, dad, her parents and her siblings.” I told mom, her eyes looked bright and


    she smiled. “What made you crane in here and wake me?” I asked her.


    “You slept past breakfast, at first I didn’t want to disturb you, but it’s lunch time, so I got worried and


    came to see if you were all right.” She exined to me in a


    gentle voice.


    Mom raised her hand and tucked one of my strands of hair behind my ear. She had a gentle smile


    on her face. “I’ll be okay now mom, don’t worry so much anymore.” I told her. I know it’s hurt her to


    see me going through all of this.


    “I’ll try,e and eat something, after, you need to go to the training grounds. Matt has some


    information he wants to talk to you about.” She told me.


    “Do you know what it’s about?” I asked her.


    “Why would Matt want to meet with you?” Alora asked me.


    “I’d like to know that myself.”I told her, not knowing what it could be.


    “I’m not sure, but Boris said it was extremely important.” My mother said in a serious tone.


    That made me go still. “If uncle Boris said it was important than it is.” I told my mother. I felt Alora


    frown at my words, knowing how important they were.

    I felt a warm flood of Alora’s love for me wrap around me through our bond. It was such a wonderful


    feeling, one I never wanted to be without ever again. Beingpletely cut off from you mate like


    that was utter hell, pure darkness and unrelenting pain. I’d never take this feeling for granted, I


    would treasure every second of this feeling.

    “Ah Damien, my love, my darling mate, I’m so sorry you suffered so much without me. I promise,


    they won’t be able to cut us off sopletely ever again.” Hearing her voice whispering her


    compassionate words through our bond, made me long to hear her sing for me again.


    “When you get home…” I started to ask but trailed off, thinking perhaps I was being a little selfish at


    the moment.


    “I’ll sing whatever song you want to hear my darling mate.” She said, already knowing what I


    wanted to ask her.


    “Goddess I miss you, I wish you were here in my arms right now.”I told her, my voice full of emotion.


    After my mom left the bedroom I took a shower, and got dressed. I tied my hair back in a mid high,


    high tail and dressed in a pair of ck athletic shorts and a blue tank. I left the room and went into


    the dining room, where my mom had lunchid out for me.


    That’s when I thought about Alora and our pups, has she eaten? “Alora, have you eaten?” I asked


    her, feeling guilty for being able to eat this food while she was possibly starving.


    “I’m fine, I recently got a hold of a substantial amount of nutrition.” She said, in a voice that sounded


    like a satisfied purr.

    It wasn’t how she said it that made me wary of her words, it was the feelings of a tiger having


    recently fed on an especially bloody meal, that did it.


    “It’s best if you don’t think about it too much my love.” she said in a soothing croon, after she sensed


    what I was feeling.


    1


    Her words didn’t really absolve my concern, it only heightened it. But the thing was…if she said I


    shouldn’t think about it…then it must be something I really didn’t want to think about. I just had to


    keep in mind that, whatever she had done, and or to whoever it was she did it, well….they had it


    coming.


    “I will always support you, my starlight.”1 told her, my words sounding and feeling like the vow they


    were.


    “Eat you breakfast, then go find out what information Matt has for you.” She ordered.


    “Yes my love.”I told her, andpiled by sitting down and eating.

    I ate more of this meal, than I had of any the others since Alora was abducted by her half sister


    Sarah. I felt my mates satisfaction through our bond


    Luna Ember’s POV


    After my son ate everything I had set out for him and left for the training grounds, I sat down in the


    living room. After a inoment of just sitting there, I put myce into my hands, and cried. I had to let


    out the emotions I had been holding back since Alora had been taken from us. Having to watch my


    son go through hell everyday without his mate, and being unable to do anything to help him.


    Aloe was so special to us, herughter and her presence made our world so much brighter. To have


    her ripped away like that…..my heart broke. Now that my son could hear and feel her again, it gave


    me so much hope. I now knew she was as strong as ever, and would fight to the end to return home


    to us.


    My mate came in, having felt my breakdown through our bond. He knelt down in front of me, his


    green gaze filled with love and concern. He wrapped his strong aims around me, cradling me


    against his broad chest, his love washing over me through our bond.


    “Talk to me Ember, your emotions are all over the ce my sweet, tell me how can I put my mate


    back together.” He said in a raspy voice.


    It took me a bit to stop crying, I was hupping and my mate handed me tissues. I gave him a


    gentle smile. “Damien was able to hear Alora again, he can even feel her emotion again, he just


    can’t get a lock on her location.” I told him.


    Alora and her pups were still alive, we still had the chance to find and bring them honje. Andrew’s


    expression reflected the relief and hope he was feeling over the news I just gave him.


    “It’s good news that he can hear and feel her again, that gives me hope.” He said, his gravelly voice


    was filled with emotion.


    “What do we do now?” I asked him..


    I was worried about how long it was going to take to find Alora, she was only two morth along.


    Normally that wouldn’t be too much of an issue, but, Alora was pregnant with twins. This meant that


    not only did we only have three more months to find her, her pregnancy was in danger without


    proper care. 4


    ‘Goddess I hope it doesn’t take that long to find her.”1 prayed internally.


    “Well….our next move might actually depend on the information Matt is about to give our son.”


    Andrew said.


    I looked at him with a frown. “Why?” I asked him.


    “Because ording to Matt, he believes the Witch he’s seeing in his dreams is being guided here


    by the Goddess, and once here, she’s supposed to be able to lead us to Alora.” He told me.


    I looked at him astonished and hopeful at the same time. If what he said was true, then the


    Goddess was trying to help us reim our daughter inw and our yet to be born grand-pups.


    “Thank you Moon Goddess. I sent my heartfelt soul deep gratitude to the Goddess internally. 2
