It's been three years since the witches and wolves began their merge and all had been quiet. Alcina was almost able to forget the hell they had been through except for the occasional nightmare. She lay in her bed listening to the love of her love snore gently. She rolled onto her left side and was immediately greeted with a soft kick. After all she couldn't help but give in to Xavier's pleas for another child.

It was only a matter of days before she was to give birth. The rogues were a constant worry due to this. They had been extremely quiet and that sparked her anxiety even more. Something told her they were planning something with the ancient ones they had revived. Tossing the blanket to the side Alcina stood up, grabbing her robe, and walked downstairs. She quietly pulled open the backdoor and took a deep breath before stepping out into the night air. She sat down on the back porch and relaxed a little. All the thoughts and worry began to slip away until she felt something pinch her neck. Standing up quickly she spun around to see Brent frowning at her.

"That was just way too easy. Oh look, two for the effort of one." He said noticing her protruding stomach. Alcina could feel the darkness closing in on her.

"Brent, you bastard." Alcina forced out before collapsing into unconsciousness. Brent quickly bent down and picked Alcina up bridal style before carrying her off into the unknown. It was hours before her absence was noticed but as soon as it was they went into lockdown. Xavier had gotten up to the sound of Jesse crying and Lucas and Lucien were eating cereal at the table already. After getting Jesse settled with some fruit Xavier searched the entire house and found no sign of her. He opened the back door thinking she might be on the porch and could smell a rogue immediately. Just as he turned to grab the boys he heard something hit the door next to his ear. Jumping, Xavier turned to see a note stick to his door with a kunai. He ripped the note off and immediately linked Fae and John to inform them.

"I have her. Now I get to play with her" Was written on the paper in blood. He didn't need to sniff it to know it was his mates blood. She had to be far enough that the physical pain link wasn't possible. He could sense her just enough to know she was alive. After the guard arrived to take the boys to school Xavier immediately called an emergency meeting. Within two hours of his discovery half of the pack guard was combing the woods for any trace of their Luna. By the fifth hour no one has found a single trace of her and Xavier began to panic.

"Xavier." A knock sounded outside his office.

"Enter." He said leaning back in his chair. Eli opened the door and walked in, standing in front of Xavier.

"I can help you. I found this in my mother's grimoire." Eli said sitting an old leather back book on the desk. The book was written in a different language so Xavier leaned back. Shaking his head, he looked up at Eli.

"What is it?" He sighed.

"This is a magnification spell. It amplifies any bond two people share for a short time. Mother liked to experiment with her spells since she mated to a wolf. She wrote here that for one mated to a wolf it amplifies the mind link so much the one could potentially see through their mates eyes. The thing is father wasn't strong enough for that to happen so mother theorized that it had to be an alpha. Not only are you an alpha, you're the king. I think I can get you to see where she is." Eli explained without taking a breath.

"Then let's get started. I don't care how theoretical it is. If it's possible then let's try." Xavier said standing up. Without a word Eli left the room and returned moments later with an arm full of strange looking things. He placed five candles around the floor and motioned for Xavier to stand in the center.

"Sit down cross legged and close your eyes." Eli said kneeling down with the book laid in front of him. Xavier did as told and Eli immediately began chanting. A moment later the darkness began to lighten slightly. A different room began to take shape as he saw heard and felt everything his wife was going through.

Alcina crouched in the corner pulling at the chain in annoyance. She hadn't been hurt so far. Just woken up by a glass of cold water after being chained to the wall. The person who threw the water on her left immediately, locking the door behind them.
