Chapter 33:

Caleb’s P.O.V

Waking up bolt right I looked at the alarm clock by the bed. It was 4am. I groaned. ‘Why the hell had I woke at this hour?’ I thought as I sat up in bed, suddenly feeling rather alert instead of feeling sleepy like I should be. I needed to be going back to sleep so I could claim the last precious of hours of sleep before we all woke and set out for Luce again. But I was too high wired to settle back down again. ‘There is something here’ My fox informed me. He was like my own alarm system. I nodded to myself and stood up, suddenly alert and willing to move. Because well what the hell could possibly be here? Walking downstairs and to the front door quietly I couldn’t sense anything too much out the ordinary. Just this strange smell of…dog? ‘But we don’t own any dogs’ I thought mystified as I headed to the door. As I opened the door to peer out, I was not prepared for what I was about to see. There on my front lawn were six overgrown wolves and two people. I growled slightly. Suddenly feeling a little threatened and I contemplated mind linking the guys. But as the two people stepped into what bit of light there was I noticed instantly who they were and I stopped growling. Because there on the lawn stood Damon and Mya. Luce’s old Alpha and Luna and also Luce’s friends. I watched as the two of them approached me cautiously and I stepped outside shutting the door, to show I meant them no harm. Though I couldn’t help but wonder what they were doing here as we approached each other. “Damon. Mya” I said in acknowledgement and well greeting. “Caleb” Mya said but Damon just nodded. Though I didn’t take offence I didn’t really know him well so I never expected him to know me either. “What can I do for you guys?” I questioned, curious to know how they would answer. “It’s about Luce. Is she here?” Mya questioned and I gulped. I hadn’t told them. I’d been too worried about getting her back to think to inform them. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair and shook my head. “Where is she? This is a matter of her safety” Damon spoke up and I sighed once more. “Her safety is already in question” I muttered and they looked at me confused. “What do you mean? What’s happened? Where’s Luce?” Mya shot off question after question at me, her voice getting higher and higher with every question and I know the worry was getting to her. “Luce is gone. She’s been kidnapped by Jax” I say simply sighing. I heard Mya gasp. “I should of known he wouldn’t wait around” Damon said and I looked at him confused. Which he must of noticed because it seemed to prompt him to keep talking and explain himself. “Jax went missing yesterday and we feared he’d come for Luce. Which is why we are here. To warn you. But it looks like we were too late” he says sadly and I nod. Though I was grateful they had found the guts to come to our lands to warn us. Because well vampires and werewolves were not well known for getting along.

A silence had settled amongst us momentarily. With everyone locked in their own thoughts. But it was Mya that broke it moments later. “So…if Luce has been kidnapped, why are you guys here? Aren’t you her mate!” she practically screamed at me. I sighed. I should of realised what this looked like. It looked like we didn’t even care enough to go and look for Luce. But honestly that was further from the truth. I watched as Damon pulled Mya into his arms and rubbed soothing circles down her back to calm her down. “I am her mate yes. We are back here so we could get some rest after searching all day. That and we were all on the verge of going into bloodlust. So we had no choice. We had to come back to feed. Because if we didn’t we would have been nothing but slaves to our instincts and that really wouldn’t of helped Luce” I say simply and Damon nods clearly understanding what I was on about whereas Mya gulped and bit her lip nervously. “You guys feed?” she questioned and I nodded. “We are dominantly vampires” I say shrugging and she nods. “You don’t kill though, right?” she questions and I spot the fresh worry on her face. “No we don’t kill. We have willing women. They are vampire addicts. They rely on the hit we give them like a druggie does when taking cocaine and we rely on them to keep ourselves fed. So it works both ways. But no we never kill. Unless the bloodlust takes over. Because then we aren’t ourselves. Aren’t in control” I say and Mya nods in understanding. “I never knew there were vampire addicts” she says curiously and I nod but decide to change the topic. All this talk of feeding was just making me miss Luce more, because she should have been the one I fed from last night and she wasn’t because her twisted ex-mate has her held somewhere. “Do you guys want to come inside?” I question. Because while they were here they might be able to help us out to find Luce. Afterall they know Jax better than I do, so they might have a better chance at locating where he could of taken her. “Sure. If you don’t mind?” Damon questioned and I shook my head and motioned for them to come inside. “I’m going to leave four of my guys outside in wolf form, to run perimeter and things to see if they can find anything and to keep us protected” Damon says as he walks towards the house. I nod and head into the house with Mya, Damon and two now shifted guys following. “Can I get you guys anything to eat or drink?” I question as I walk into the kitchen and they take a seat at the table. “A glass of water if you have one” Mya asked and I nodded, getting a jug of water and some glasses and putting them on table. You know just in case any of the others wanted a drink. “Thank you” Mya said and I nodded them. “I’m just going to go wake my guys then we shall talk” I say before leaving the room to wake Abe and the rest up. I know it was only 5am. But well we needed to talk to those downstairs and it would be easier if everyone was present so then everyone knew what was going on. “I’m sure there is a good reason you have woken us all at 5am Caleb. But right now I’m not sure what that reason is” Nathanial muttered as he joined the rest of us as we headed back downstairs. “Stop whining and get your ass down here” I say simply before wandering back into the kitchen.
