In the heart of darkness

  Me-pack
  "Carly the Luna and Ashley have been taken, I need you all searching for them right now! Stop what you are doing and find them!"
 
  "We need drake, he has the tracking stuff, we need Caron too"
 
  I rush from the room, barging into each bedroom. I find drake and Lilly in the first one so I shake them awake.
 
  "Mum, Carly and Ashley are missing or they are gone I'm not sure but you need to get up NOW!"
 
  I don't make it an option, I command them to get up and I move to the next room. It's Keagen and James so I wake them up and tell them the same thing. Next is Arden and Fay. They jump from bed immediately ringing Ella to make sure she was safe as dad sends orders out throughout the pack.
 
  I needed to focus but my head was all over the place. I felt like my mind was falling apart with worry and it had only been 30 minutes. Soon enough I had the entire house up searching for them. I grabbed some Redbull and I went to the office. I felt shaky and out of breath, beads of sweat ran down my forehead. The warriors arrive with the paperwork, every car that came in and out this morning.
 
  I checked each of their thoughts; read their mind but they were all just as anxious to get her back as my fathers. I could see the stress having the same effect as the hour slowly ticked by. I couldn't deal with so many people when she wasn't here.
 
  I always felt tense and annoyed except for when she was in the room and I hated it when I had to do anything without her by my side. I ran through every memory and possible future over and over in my head but the possibility of them being taken wasn't even a possibility.
 
  that confused me even more because how had they gone around my abilities? It made no sense.
 
  "I'm back"
 
  Granda shouts from the front room he had left to grab the laptop with the tracker program. Over the years my family had a habit of being kidnapped, after one particular incident the girls requested we get trackers implanted in our arms. They worked amazingly and came in handy on far to many occasions.
 
  He places the laptop on the table and starts to type as everyone gathers around. Soon he had pulled up their trackers and the map, 3 red dots started to beep, I frown that was close by. I take off out the back door and head to the forest. I run as fast as I can and then I smell blood.
 
  My heart stutters in my chest, missing a heat as I come to a small clearing, I could smell her blood, in the corner ghost lay whimpering, his white fur saturated in red. I sniff around and then I find the 3 small tracking devices on the ground covered in their blood. My heart sinks, all the hope I had disappeared, falling through my fingertips in a traumatising realisation.
 
  "I might never see her again."
 
  I whisper then scream in frustration, lifting a log and I throw it against a tree.
 
  I growl as my magic forces it's way up and out of me, I roar as every piece of wood, leaves, twigs and even water rise in the air as I roar. My heart broke. I failed her! I fucking failed the only woman I swore I would never fail. She was mine to protect and love and someone fucking took her!
 
  They took my Carly cù! MINE! I throw all of the stuff that I held into the air and across the forest with as much force as possible. They fly through the air, trees pull from their roots from the ground and they go flying across the forest floor. I fall to my knees and I cry in devastation.
 
  ''Ghost, save ghost! Check his thoughts''
 
  Cain snaps at me, pulling me back to the moment. My head snapped to the whimpering as my family make it to the clearing, I run falling by ghost and I turn to lilly
 
  "Heal him please"
 
  She runs to my side falling to her knees as everyone looks at the hole I left in the forest. They look at each other, all of them terrified of me. All of them but my fathers, Mark, Ella and my grandparents. I hear their minds going overtime, each one telling their mates their fears of what I will become without her.
 
  "Instead of internally fucking ranting why don't you make yourself useful and find them if your so fucking worried what I will become without her because your right I will become a damn monster if a hair on her head is hurt!"
 
  I snap at them, they take a step back as the black tendrils rise up my neck in anger. All of them feared me like this, thought I was a monster, I never cared what they thought. The only one that didn't fear me like this was Carly, she thought they were beautiful.
 
  "We will do everything in our power to find them we promise"
 
  Luca tells me, I turn back to lilly who's healing ghost. Tears ran down her cheeks, she didn't fear me but she feared for the pain that I would go through. She feared that this may destroy who my parents taught me to be.
 
  She was right to fear that. She was right because I fear that too. I have control because I have Carly, my body, my mind, my powers, my wolf, all of it love Carly more than we love life itself. She is our everything and she is the only light we can recognise and without her there is only darkness. It will take over and when it does I'm not so sure the world will survive.
 
  Lilly finishes healing ghost and he whimpers getting up and coming to my arms. I hated the little white wolf but Carly loved him and he loved Carly. So I could never destroy anything that she loved as much as she loved him. I pat his fur and let my powers seep into him, closing my eyes and pushing all the voices out as I open my mind and focus solely on ghosts memories.
 
  I watch as she yawns getting out of bed with a huge grin on her face. She looks at me before going to the bathroom and pulling on grey sweats, socks and one of my shirts. She wraps her bracelet around her arm admiring it. She whistles for ghost to follow and he does.
 
  I could tell his loyalty was to her, he really didn't recognise me as his alpha atol he thought his only purpose in this world was to protect her, to protect his mum and that loyalty was much fiercer than his loyalty to his alpha who he didn't particularly like. It would make me smile if my heart wasn't being ripped apart piece by piece.
 
  I watched as she opened the door so he could go to the bathroom. He runs out but when he does he hears mum and Ashley so he runs to them excitedly.
 
  "Oh she must be up"
 
  Mum says happily getting off the daybed
 
  "Let's go see how it went"
 
  Ashley adds taking the big bag of joints and stuffing them in her pocket. Ghost goes to the bathroom then he follows them up. As they get to the top step Carly rushes out the door grabbing them both in a hug
 
  "It was amazing, I can't stop smiling. Like my jaws actually hurt I'm so happy"
 
  They squeak excitedly and pull her into a group hug, waving her side to side.
 
  "Told ya! Now please tell me you have coffee"
 
  "Yess I'll grab some"
 
  She tells them as they sit down, she goes to grab coffee but ghost notices somebody and starts to growl staring at the tree line.
 
  "That's strange he only ever growls at Carter"
 
  Mum snorts getting up to investigate as ghost takes off down the steps and towards the forest
 
  "Ghost come back what is it"
 
  But ghost had set his eyes on a figure, he couldn't smell him and he wore all black, he looked like a damn ninja, I could hear the 3 girls running after him.
 
  "Hey who are you"
 
  But as ghost arrives at a small clearing he stops looking around as more men or women dressed in the same gear surround him just as the girls get there. Mum growls pushing the girls behind her, as they circle the girls.
 
  "What the fuck!"
 
  Carly spits but suddenly they pull out a blowing pipe and one after the other they start blowing little pins at the girls. Ghost growls attacking one of their feet. They shake him off but he comes back for more so they pull out a knife and they stab him. He whimpers, falling but he continues to watch as the girls are pelted with pins until suddenly their eyes roll to the back of their heads and they fall in a heap on the ground passing out.
 
  They cautiously approach them
 
  "they are out"
 
  One pulls the mask off his face, I'd never met him before. He was tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, he had a scar down His left cheek but other than that there was nothing remarkable about him.
 
  "What now alpha?"
 
  Another steps up pulling off her mask and I swear she looked familiar. Blonde hair, blue eyes and she was definitely related to the alpha. She can't have been much older than 16, he was young too but she looked younger.
 
  "Take the trackers from there arm then we can get out of this shit hole"
 
  The others got to work pulling at the girls arms and removing the trackers then they lifted them and carried them away. And just like that they were gone.
 
  I closed my mind and opened my eyes and wiped my face of tears. I was gobsmacked, I hadn't seen any of it, not even the possibility of it. Just like the shop I never saw the possibility of her being shot either.
 
  ''It was like the shop was a test to see if it worked. To see if they could manage to blind us. They used janey as a test and a sacrifice.''
