Second Chance

Chapter 9: Ken's return

Ever since Edmund's escape, Ken's threat, and the dead witch  showing up on our territory, Paxton has been working overtime. I am normally with him at most times but when I'm not, he has four guards protecting me. Two of them armed and the other two constantly shifted in wolf form. 

Right now I was walking in the yard with the guards next to me. The two wolves on my side and the armed behind me. I saw little Thomas run over to me. 

"Hi Luna!" 

"Hello Thomas. How are you this morning?" I asked sweetly. 

"I'm good. I have a flower for you." He pulled out a cute little daisy from behind his back. 

"Aw, thank you." I stepped forwards and took the flower and gave him a hug. 

He skipped away happily. I smiled at him. I continued my stroll into the gardens. Right as I stepped in, all of my guards went on alert. 

Suddenly the wolves on my sides were thrown out of the garden and the two armed guards were pounding and shooting at an invisible force field. 

I looked around in panic when I felt a pinch in my neck. My vision blurred and I saw black dots. The last thing I saw before fully passing out was Paxton's wolf bounding towards me.

PAXTON'S POV (Surprise) 

I was in my office meeting with the Alpha of Silver Pride Pack. The had spotted The Stone Rouges near their borders. 

I was in the middle of talking when Colton barged in. "Paxton! It's Coralina!" I didn't need t hear anymore. 

I ran to outside to where she normally takes her morning strolls and shifted into my wolf. Two of her guards were in wolf form whimpering as pack doctors tried to get them into the ambulance while the other two tried to penetrate some unknown barrier between us and her. 

I pounded towards her and saw her eyes dilating and closing. I ran faster but she passed out and fell to the ground at the feet of Kendrick. 

I growled and reached the forcefield. 

"Ah, if it isn't hero of the day." Ken said. He picked up Coralina and turned to the bushes. "Liana, get us out of here."

I shifted back to my human form. "WE STILL HAD ONE DAY LEFT!" 

"Yes well, Edmund decided to go awol so I came to collect the prize myself. Besides, breeding season is just around the corner." He smirked. 

I growled out. A small, scared looking girl came out and with a flick of her wrist they were gone. 

"EVERYONE ON ALERT! THE LUNA IS MISSING!" I linked a message out to everyone informing them about what happened and what was needed to be done. 

I wen straight to my office and had an emergency meeting with all of my pack advisers and officials. We were all on edge, especially Colton and I for our mate and sister. 

"First thing, someone get my brother on the phone and then I need constant search reports on areas we've searched." 

One of the secretaries comes in with a phone on speaker. 

"Brother." 

"Clarence."

"So what happened to my dear sister in law." I explained the situation. Growling commenced from the other line. "I will be there tomorrow with my men. I'm sending out a national search for her." I thanked him and hung up. 

After getting in reports from each unit sent out, one came back saying they picked up her scent. I immediately shifted and ran, leading the units to where her scent was. I picked up on her orange, citrus scent and followed it.
