The Lost Alpha Princess

Chapter 29

Alpha Arrow's POV (THE NIGHT BEFORE THE ESCAPE)

It's been just over a week since my phone call with Alpha Hunter and everything has gone to shit, my son hasn't spoken a word to me only gives me a low growl every now and then and my mate well she hasn't even looked at me. All I want to do is explain what happened the night the Moon Goddess visited me but she won't even be in the same room as me long enough for me to say 'Hello' let alone anything else, that night keeps replaying in my mind....

....FLASHBACK TO BEFORE HOPE WAS TAKEN....

I'm sitting here in my office looking at a picture of my daughter instead of looking over the new peace treaty's I'm meant to be going through, I can't help but worry about what is to come. My daughter is not only the most beautiful thing on this planet, but the most precious as well. I knew as soon as she was born first that she was the daughter of the Prophecy and that's when my worry really started, but life has been quite and we have managed to keep her hidden from almost everyone.

Recently though I can't shift the feeling that something bad was coming, I turn in my chair and look at the clock noticing it's after midnight so I decide to go to bed. As I turn my desk lamp off a light catches my eye in front of my desk and I smiled to myself knowing the Moon Goddess was paying another visit, as she appears in front of me I give her a huge grin before saying "Moon Goddess to what do I owe this honour?" Before I can ask her anything else the look on her face catches my attention and that's when the dread I was already feeling gets worse.

With a sad smile the Goddess says "My child I come with grave news this time.", she looks away before continuing "The time has come for you to let her go...." she trails off as I look at here and ask "Who?" that's when I notice where her eyes are looking and as I turn to my desk I can see she is looking at the picture of my daughter I was just looking at.

"NO.... Absolutely not what do you even mean." I growl at her I don't mean her any disrespect but what is she talking about let my Hope go, she looks at me again with a shocked expression which she quickly covers with a sad look "Arrow I understand this must be hard for yo...." she starts but I cut her off with a low growl before saying "You understand nothing this is my daughter you are talking about, you promised us she would be safe and now you're telling me it's time to let go. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!" I roar at her.

I expect people to come rushing in but nothing, I'm panting trying to keep Axis under control because he wants out so he can protect his pup. The Moon Goddess didn't even flinch at my out burst and is standing there quietly and calmly waiting for me to regain my composure, which I'm not sure I can. After what feels like hours but is only a few minutes my breathing is getting back to normal and the Moon Goddess notices this as well "Please Arrow take a seat there is much to explain and not much time." she pleads with me, I take a few more breaths and get back in my chair.

"This is going to be hard for you to understand but if you trust me you must do what is asked of you...." she trails off making sure I was ready for this information "I won't interrupt until you are finished you have my word Goddess." I tell her honestly, she takes a few deep breaths knowing this will be hard for me. "As you know Hope is going to become me when she is of age and I was hoping that she could live here peacefully until that happened, but that is not going to happen now. In a few day's Hope will be taken and you must let it happen, if it doesn't she will die here in the castle...." she rushed out at the end because she knew I was going to say something.

I stared at her wide eyed before asking in a shaky voice "How will she die if she stays?" "That is not important what is, is that she will not if she is taken. I know this sound's awful but this is how it has to be, you can look for her to ease your pain if you need to but you will only find her when the time is right. Before then you will find no trace of her but she will be ok and this will make her the strongest she can be, but you must trust this has to be this way." she answer's.

All I can do is stare at her like she has two heads, she hasn't really told me anything useful except my daughter is going to be kidnapped and I won't see her for who knows how long "Is there no other way? Surely you can give me more information then that please, you know I'm strong enough to protect her." I say pleading with her. "I can't say more and my time is up please just have trust and faith in me." she say's as she fades out of the room. I slump back in my chair "We lose her either way Axis." I say "No we are strong enough to protect her I know we are." he responds.

....FLASHBACK ENDS....

The day after that visit hope had her first near death experience 'How wrong could I have been?' I can't help but ask myself, ten years she's been missing and this whole time with someone we all thought was dead. I let the memory fade and start thinking of ways to get Amelia to talk to me, I glance at the clock and realise how late it is but I know if I go to bed it will be another night without my Mate.
