The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 20

Cashton's POV:

My beta, gamma and I ran to the study. We were quite familiar with this story, because it was so popular when we were babies, so we decided to see exactly how it's possible. I already knew that the royal family just had a baby girl and were going from pack to pack showing her off and celebrating because they had someone who could continue the royal line.

But when they got back to their real pack they were suddenly attcked by both rouges and hunters together. The King and Queen were both completely slaughtered just like the rest of the pack, but the princess was nowhere to be found. As we grew up we were trained hard and well, because even though we didn't know if she was still alive, if she ever found her way to us we had to be strong enough to protect her.

Oh my God, I thought. How is it we had no idea? We should've been able to tell.

"Uh, Alpha, I may have an idea about that." Aaron said.

"What is it then?"

"What if she was being protected. By a witch. That way, the witch could place charms on her as well asked prolong her from shifting."

"That actually sounds pretty smart. And I just might know exactly who that certain witch is."

"Who Cash?"

"Boys, I think it's time we meet Katie's Grandmother."

We all agreed and then took off trying to get there as fast as possible so we can figure out a way to get my mate back. We arrived at her house in 25 minutes. A drive that should have taken an hour. We walked up the path and as I was raising my hand to knock, the door opened.

"So, you either figured it out. Or, you are here to kill me because of the way I treated your mate." She said.

"The first one. Oh, and we need the whole story, she's been kidnapped." I stated. And as soon as she heard those words she turned as white as a sheet.

"Come in then."

We stepped in and sat down on the couch that she motioned us to. She looked kind of like a zombie. Her face not gaining back the color it was before, if anything it was getting whiter. And she just moved around like a robot.

"You know about the part where the King and Queen's pack was attacked. Well, as soon as they had their baby, they sought me out and appointed me as her protector if anything should happen to her. It was against the Queen's judgement because I was both her mother and a witch, but because I could help their daughter then she had no choice.Well, while everyone was getting slaughtered the King came up to me and told me to take the child and give her a real life. To give her a life and to not let her know anything about who she really was. So, I did just that. I gave her a strong potion while she was a baby and gave her to a lovely couple who I knew she would be okay with, but I stayed near them the whole time. And when they died from that crash, I was devastated. As soon as she was released from the hospital, I took her in. Which later I realized was a good thing because you could see clear signs of the potion wearing off, and it was a strong potion. But all her real parent's power was now inside of her so she was pretty strong and powerful. So I continued to sneak it into her food.

"Whoever has her is going to find out real fast who she is, so she needs to be rescued really soon. That day you heard our conversation, she almost broke through the spell. And she is getting stronger now that she is soon coming of age. Once she turns 18, she reaches her full powers and even I can't do anything to stop it. And I'm the most powerful witch in the world. I will help you, but then I turn and walk away. I know she will be safe with you and your pack so my job will be done.

"So, let's get started shall we?"
