Siren's Secret

29. Rescue

Pierce pushed his jaguar faster and faster. He couldn't let Rieka down, not now when she needed him most. He darted in and out of the trees nimbly, like a shadow blurring through the forest. 

Before long the lights of the pack house started to shine through the darkness and Pierce ran up to below the windows and roared as loud as he could knowing it would garner the attention he needed. 

Alpha Randolf, Raziel, Damian, Georgia and Randolf's beta Lucas came running out towards Pierce. Pierce shifted and knelt down, exhausted from the fight and from pushing so hard to get there as fast as possible. 

Raziel knelt next to him, "Pierce! What happened? Where are my children?" 

"We heard from Jason when he left that Rayna had found a siren? Is that true?" Damian asked.

Pierce nodded, "Yes. The siren has been caught and so has your mole in the pack. But there are many wounded and you lost a couple warriors." Pierce looked into Raziel's eyes, "Rieka, she's hurt. She can't shift out of Rayna without endangering herself. She needs you. I came as fast as I could." 

They all leapt into action with Alpha Randolf mind linking the pack doctors and hospital to get ready for the patients and to send EMT's to the pack house ASAP. Damian started to gather warriors and those that could help carry the wounded and dead back and Georgia went to get her bag of magicks to help in the woods. Raziel took a deep breath and a soft glow came from her hand on Pierce's shoulder. The glow travelled from Raziel's hand under Pierce's skin and to his heart, which then spread it to every cell in his body- instantly energizing and revitalizing him. 

He looked at her surprised, "Thank you Luna." Raziel smiled gratefully, "The least I could do for you protecting my children. Now lead me to my daughter. The wolves will follow your scent." 

Pierce quickly shifted into his jaguar and took off towards the woods. Damian shifted into Arcon, Georgia jumped onto his back and they followed Pierce with his band of helpers. 

Within minutes they came up to where the wounded were being prepared for transport. Jason was barking orders to the wolves and bears all while holding Rayna's large head in his lap, refusing to leave her side for even a moment. Jason's face flashed with relief as he saw Pierce and his mother arrive followed by the pack ready to help. 

They all shifted to human and got to work bandaging and tending to the wounded with Damian taking over the operations for the pack. Raziel noticed the siren in chains and was surprised to see Dylan also in chains beside her. Her face hardened as she realized that Dylan was the mole. Her glare pierced into his soul. Dylan raised his eyes and once he saw Raziel's hate filled face, he bowed his head in shame. Raziel couldn't let her feelings about Dylan get in the way, her daughter needed her.

Raziel turned back as she and Georgia knelt by Rayna on either side to inspect her wound. Jason had taken clothes to try and stop the bleeding but it hadn't worked well, even with her fast wolf healing. Pierce could feel the pain and exhaustion come through the bond.  As the women went to work getting Rayna stable enough to travel, Pierce focused inward.  

He found the part of her bond that connected her to him and focused on it. Once he tapped into that magical bond, he used his will to push his extra strength, healing powers, and energy through the bond to Rayna. The more he sent, the more he could feel her strength returning and her pain lessening.  He gave all he could without hurting himself and sat near the group to rest. 

Raziel was using angelic magic to heal Rayna and Georgia was crafting a paste that must have been similar to the one used on Pierce to heal his side.  He found it amazing that an angel and a blood witch were working side by side to save not just Rieka, but so many. It was a sight he never thought he would see. As he watched them work, he knew that what Rieka was creating was so much more than a collective. She represented a way for all supernatural beings to live in peace; working together, living as one pack towards a common goal.  It was something he knew he wanted to be a part of, no matter what the coming days may bring.
