"There's got to be a way out of here." Skye doesn't even know how long she has been lost in the darkness.

It could have been hours, days, or weeks. Time didn't exist in this place, it seemed. Balthazar hasn't returned since she last saw him and could still sense the pain that Hunt is feeling because she is missing. She never thought that she could be connected to someone like that.

Then there is the elephant in the room. Her belly which has grown bigger. She would be about the size of six months. This has something to do with their baby. Why else would they be speeding along her pregnancy?

"Don't worry I won't let anybody touch you or get their hands on you. We will get out of here before then. I know we will."

Skye continues to walk through the maze and still she can't find any way of escape. The magic that surrounds her is powerful. So that clearly tells her that werewolves and witches are probably working together.

"Let me out of here." She screamed into the silence as she fell to the ground as tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Get up Skye." Balthazar voice echoed.

She looked around and couldn't see him anywhere.

"Get up now. You have to wipe those tears away and be strong. Stand up." He demanded.

She stood up and continued to look around as she wiped her cheeks with the back of her hands. Only darkness greeted her wherever she looked.

"Be strong." He said but his voice was in her mind.

She gasped as the blackness dropped from all around her. A room appeared in its place. What looks to be a ballroom full of people. Actually they're werewolves and she could sense other things among them but she didn't know what they were but her wolf knew they weren't friends.

Then her eyes collided with Balthazar's. He inclined his head ever so slightly as he smiled at her.

"The black queen has walked out onto the board." His said in her mind.

Skye flicked her eyes just as a woman appeared directly in front of her and everybody in the room was also in front of her. Standing there as if she did rule these people. Ashe blonde hair that was perfectly straight and dressed in designer looking clothes. She is tall and lithe. She wasn't a werewolf. Skye knew that.

"And all her pawns surround her." Skye thought in her minds and Balthazar laughed at her thought.

How is he in her head? She didn't understand how he could be.

"I have my connection. Don't worry she can't touch your mind, that I'm protecting from her."

"So we have the Luna of the Frost pack," The woman walked closer towards her. "And the heir to the pack."

A rumbling growl settled in Skye's body, as she never took her eyes of the woman who now stood metres from her.

"One of the most powerful in the world. Our enemy."

The other people make a battle cry. Skye hackles rose as she flicked her eyes all around the room and then back to queen bitch.

"So instead of facing your enemy face to face. You instead kidnap the alpha's mate and their child. What do you think this is going to prove?" Skye said as she protected her stomach with her hands, as she stood confident.

She knew she had to look confident and strong. She is an alpha just as much as Hunt. Her wolf knew that power and she would not be treated any less then she was. The bitch smiled at her.

"The alpha in you has come to the surface. Your poor alpha can't do anything to save you. No one can find you. Your pregnancy is fast approaching. What are you going to do when you go into labour?" She cackled the last bit just like a true witch.

Things started to click in Skye's mind. She looked to Balthazar and he nodded his head.

"You want my child. You want the heir to the Frost pack."

"Of course I do."

"Why?"

"Because it will be the downfall of your pack. Hunter can't find you. Once you give birth you will be of no use to me however your child's won't be. I plan to torture Hunter with the knowledge that I killed his mate and will raise his child."

The wolf in Skye growled and was ready to attack. Skye held it back but. Now wasn't the time to lose control. She instead laughed. Laughed right in the face of the bitch and she saw that made her come up short.

"You really think I would let you get your hands on my child. That I would even give you the chance to. I think someone is a bit overconfident."

Skye couldn't help but the smile that appeared on her lips, as the bitch was stunned.

"You didn't expect that did you. My bark is just as bad as my bite. I might be new to this entire world and don't know everything. But there is one thing that I do know and this goes for any person. No matter what they are." Skye said as she pointed at the woman. "You never come between a mother and her child because you never want to mess with a pissed off mother."

The woman spluttered.

"I will be found and saved. All this little stunt has done is written your death warrant. Think about that."

The woman looked beyond pissed as the darkness of the maze phased back in. Skye laughed as it happened. That should put her in her place. Clapping was the first sign of Balthazar appearing.

"Well down Skye. Now that was a show and half." He leaned against the wall as the lantern appeared also.

"Who is that bitch?" She demanded.

"Clarissa Devereux."

"No." Skye shook her head as she started pacing.

She knew that last name and had even heard the first name in passing before. When she had heard that name before no one ever had a kind word to say about it. Especially Beatrix, Clarissa's very own sister.

"You know the name." He said as he smirked at her.

"You knew I would know it."

He folded his arms.

"So she is a witch."

"Yes."

Skye shook her head. None of this is making sense. How did that witch get hold of a pack of wolves who want to follow her? They seemed to follow her as if a she was alpha.

"This doesn't make sense. Why would a pack of werewolves want to be led by a witch?"

"Do you think they really want to be led by her?"

"A spell. There all under a spell." She said as she paced and then she looked to him. "Except you."

"Except me."

"She only wants power. What does she think she will achieved by having my child and killing me? Hunter and the others aren't going to let her get away with this especially her sister."

"I know but she doesn't know that. She doesn't know that Hunter's mother has called in the big guns."

"The big guns?"

"Yes and if I'm not mistaken they have arrived."

 Just then a loud bang vibrated through the darkness. Balthazar smiled at her and disappeared just as the darkness started to break apart. Help was here.
