Split Spirit

Chapter thirty two

Grimm's POV

My brother and I disarmed as many of the traps as we could without drawing too much attention to our small group as possible. Luckily the fighting above has started and takes priority over us. If our mate wasn't down here (my brother and I just found out we share a mate) I would have felt bad about not being next to our brothers and sisters in arms. Fox said his wolf would never forgive him if we don't save her. Mine feels the same and both have called out to her, but she can't hear them I guess.

Fox was currently trying to short circuit the power to the cells but I just heard it zap him so I don't think it's going well. "Stupid peice of shit!" He growls before sucking on his finger.

"Forget about trying to do that I'll use my magic to dig a tunnel like originally planned," Rye says while starting his spell.

We make sure he has the space he needs as he opens a tunnel into the first cell. The people in the cells all watch us quietly not moving like they are too traumatized to do anything.

Once the tunnel is completed we ask the prisoners to crawl on out. "We're here to get you all out to safety. Once everyone has made it out we're leaving, we have friends waiting to take care of you outside the walls," I said trying to give them hope.

"What are you going to do with us when we leave?"

I turn and it was a pale girl with straight black hair in the cell next to the one we are currently emptying.

"When you are given a clean bill of health, our Alpha and Luna will probably ask if you would like to join our pack," Fox says.

"Or they will help you return to your homes," I finish for him.

"And what if we find our mates among you?"

Fox and I turn together to look into the most beautiful face we have ever seen. It's our mate she has one green eye with gold in the middle, and one blue eye with purple in the middle. Her hair although dirty looks like warm honey.

"What's your name love?" Fox asks and we wait patiently.

"My name is Daphne Brown and you both are my mates." She said mater of factly.

"Yes and you're ours, we plan to keep you, if you let us." We say in perfect unison.

"Good!" She says with watery eyes and immediately we both want to get to her.

"Ok sweetheart it's y'all's turn so your fellas here can hold ya!" Rye says rubbing his hands together before he begins his spell.

After we got the people out of each cell, one of the other warriors we brought with us would take the small group with them. In order to get the fuck out of this hell hole, they would have them hold hands and use the magic stones to make them invisible.

Our mate is the first to crawl out of the cell she's in which is fourth from the last cell. As soon as she stood Fox and I both hugged her.

"I, Grimmlock Teak," I begin "I, Foxglove Teak," my brother then says. "Accept you Daphne Brown as our mate," we finish together.

Our mate let's out a sob before she says in a watery but happy voice, "I, Daphne Brown accept you, Grimmlock and Foxglove Teak as my mates!"

"Mommy why does Daphne have two mates?" A small voice asked behind us and I look back to see who it was. It's a little girl with dirty limp blond hair and dark brown eyes. "Because.. I'm guessing that they are twins and she was supposed to be a twin. Or more likely its because the Goddess works in mysterious ways my love." Her mother says as she crawls out after the little girl. "She's so lucky!" The little girl says and we smile.

"Ok that's everyone let's get out of this place," Rye says after double checking to make sure we got everyone.

Fox lifts up our mate, because we noticed that her ankle is injured and don't want her injury to get worse. Also I'm a slightly better fighter, should we have to fight it's better that I do it.

We make our way out and just as we hit the surface we hear explosions. We duck down initially but quickly get a move on towards the exit we came through earlier. Our orders and priorities are clear, get the prisoners out. If once everyone is safe and we wish to do so we can return to fight.

I don't want to leave our mate but I don't know if I can ignore the battle going on either.

Zeke's POV

*BOOM*

The ground shook beneath us, it was during this distraction I got careless and was hit, but I didn't let it slow me down. I could worry about it later, I just hope that that boom took out their backup power. That hopefully we were coming to the end of the battle, and they got the prisoners out.

It feels like this fight has been going on forever already but in reality it's probably been close to maybe an hour.

Yes, I can see we have lost some of our own including Gene. He saved me by having my back by knocking me out of the way. His sword was broken in two when he went to defend himself. He was cut in half, it happened so fast I don't think he had a chance to even feel any pain. Atleast that is my hope, and he gave Zack the opportunity to destroy the stone of the golem that took him out.

Zack had always looked up to Gene so I was worried that this would take his fighting spirit. However my worries were unfounded because instead it pushed him to fight harder. It didn't make him careless either, which I was grateful for.

"Alpha, the prisoners have been freed. The Teak twins wanted to come but could not bring themselves to leave their injured mate," Devon, one of the warriors who was on the prisoner liberation team says.

"Will she live?" I ask worriedly even as I fight. Luckily with that last explosion things have calmed a bit but still aren't done yet.

"Yes Alpha, our allies have guaranteed it, also a group of wolves with medical supplies and doctors have just arrived." He says and I twitch.

Great... my mate's ex is here.
