Chapter four

Zander POV

I was with James in my office, a map in front of me

"Okay this is your territory" I say pointing to the marked land "I will send letters to all packs to inform them that this land is now royally protected unless I say other wise" I say as I use the gold ink that can be washed off the map to draw around the perimeter of the pack lands.

James nods smiling and then sighed and drops his face into his hands

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask as i sit down next to him

"I feel like I am splitting up my pack" he sighed making me sigh as well

"It is their choice if they want to stay, which means it is their choice if they split the pack" I say gently and calmly and focus on releasing a calm aura like the king and queen said we should to calm a situation. 

"Why don't we go and see our mates and pups, they must be back by now" I say and stand up

he nods and stands to, we make our way to the hallway where our rooms where and see which one is being decorated. 

We hear giggling coming from a room near our rooms.

"Is it just me or are you dreading entering there too?" I whisper to James

"Yup, I think we will regret giving them so much power" he whispered back as we carefully made our way to the door. I opened the door slowly and I could not prepare my self for what I saw. 

James POV

The room was a mess, Skye and Emily are covered in paint. I think they have more paint on them than the wall does. I don't see the twins so I guess they are napping. The walls were a sandy brown colour....well parts where the rest of it was the original yellow colour. Boxes and boxes of....I don't even know covered the floor. The windows wide open letting the paint smell out.

"What is going on?!" me and Zander say loudly over the girls giggling

They both freeze then slowly turn to look at us smiling shyly

"Hey baby" Skye said

"Hey honey" Emily said 

Both breathless.

"What is going on, I thought you were decorating the nursery, not yourselves" I say, crossing my arms, leaning on the door frame smirking at them.

"Yes, well, we, err, yeah, well.....SHE STARTED IT!!" Skye and Emily screamed and pointed at each other making us chuckle and then walk over and cuddle our paint covered mates, coating us in paint as well.

It is a week later and the twins room has only just been finished and it is their fist night in there. The twins are in their room sleeping while the me, Skye, Emily, James and my mum and Payton were sitting watching tv in the living room. 

"I need to check on the kids" Skye said suddenly frowning, " my wolf keeps telling me to. Come on" She said standing up and grabbing my hand, we run quietly up the stairs. We walk into their newly painted room to see a shadow disappearing from the window.

Skye screamed and ran to the cotts.

Andy and Mia start screaming from their cots but Amy and Max are gone.

"AMY!!!!!!! MAX!!!!!!!!!" we scream and run to the window to see the empty garden lit up in the moon light with a shadow figure running across to the wall, I know I will never make it as I watch them climb over the wall, two bundles in their arms and evil laugh following them as they vanish over the wall.

James, Emily, mum and Payton where in the door way looking at us

"What is going on?" Emily asks in a panicked voice as Skye burst into tear and picks Andy up cuddling him into her chest

"Amy and Max, they have been kidnapped" I whisper, tears leaving my eyes as I pick up my daughters favourite toy from the cot. I hug it to my chest and sit on the floor next to Skye, trying to comfort her.

Emily and James break down, snatching Mia into there arms and crying into each other.

"There is a note" Payton whispers tears leaving her eyes and leaving tracks down her face

"What does it say?" I ask, my voice cracking

"I hope you had your fun with your son and daughter while it lasted because you wont be seeing them again" Payton whispered tears filling her eyes "Don't worry about your other son and daughter but curses cant be broken"

"Curses?" I ask my head snaping up, Payton nodded

"Get Mildred" I demand standing up, pulling Skye up with me.

Minutes later we were in Mildred's room, me and Skye found her and helped her a few years back and has become a good friend

"What has happened Zander?!" Mildred asks in a panic as she watches everyone as she enters the living room in her night gown

"Amy and Max, they have been kidnapped, and there was a note, it said about Mia and Andy and curses" Skye whispers quietly

"Marco" Mildred whispered looking horrified, she scrambled over to Mia and Andy and held her hands above them, eyes closed. colours started to dance around her fingers then to the babies who started gurgling happily.

The colourful light faded and Mildred looked depressed

"Once they reach the age of 18.....they will develop a connection with their twins wherever they are....that connection once strong enough will draw them away from the palace to their twins....they wont return and will no longer be king and queen" Mildred said

"But I cant loose my babies" Emily and Skye cry cuddling their babies closer

"I can not remove the curse or stop it from happening but I can change how it will end" Mildred said smiling a small smile. Everyone jumped to their feet,

"Please Mildred, can you do it?" Skye asked

Mildred nodded

"I can, but... there is a chance that the curse is not strong enough to over power it and it will not take place...and we will not know until their 18th birthday"

"Anything, it is worth the try isn't it?" I ask happily

Mildred nodded then held her hands over the babies again.

Crowns made of light appeared above their heads, red light swirled around them

"On their 18th birthday they shall find their twins but they shall all return to the palace. All your ties to be king and queen will be broken and it will be handed down to the next born child" Mildred spoke clearly

The light suddenly snapped off. One minute light swirled around them then it was gone and Mildred collapsed to the floor, holding her head panting

"The curse should have been altered but it is so strong I fear as they grow it will go back to the original curse" Mildred sobbed into her hands

I walked over to her and hugged her "You did your best, at least they have a chance now" I whisper

"I'm so sorry Zander, I have let you down" she sobbed sadly

"No you have't you have done more than any of us could" I say

The room is quiet apart from sobs

'We will save our children, even if it means we are no longer king and queen but the slaves of the palace' I think to my self 'We will find you Amy and Max'
