The sound of crying dragged me from whatever unconscious state I had been in. I felt horrible, like gravity had somehow increased dramatically. Every inch of me felt heavy, sluggish, and stiff. It was that crying that made it possible to even think, the sound tore at my heart. Bringing up the strongest need to move and comfort the distressed voice.

 I couldn't move though, my whole body was just too heavy. Faintly I noticed the tight biting grip of rope pinning my arms tightly behind my back. The cries that echoed around me paused to allow a broken intake of breath before starting up again.

 Forcing myself to twitch my fingers, I could feel my wings pinned under my tied arms cramping painfully. Feeling the soft fabric tied over my face I realized I was effectively blindfolded. I tried to think straight enough to remember what exactly had happened. I remember taking my kids with me to Alpha Nicolas and asking for help, but on the way back all I could remember was a sharp sting in my neck and being unable to feel my body.

 The sound of a door slamming open caught my attention over the sound of the wails, "I can't believe you! You kidnapped Alpha Todd?! What the hell is going on in that head of yours, you don't kidnap your Alphas?!" A female voice, I couldn't think through the thick haze in my head enough to recognize the voice.

 "I know! I know. I just panicked, what else was I suppose to do? Alpha David and Alpha Benson called in another pack for help, if Ronald manages to make it he'll tell them it was me. At least with both of them focused on finding Todd they won't be helping Ronald. It'll give me enough time to figure out what to do." This voice was deeper but spoke softly, making it impossible for me to even tell if it was male or female.

 "Why did you grab Jay too? He's only a baby, he can't be locked in here away from his parents and he won't stop crying!" Jay. My baby Jay. Those where his cries.

 "I didn't have any other choice, he wouldn't let go of Alpha Todd and I didn't have time to fight off those damn lizards while prying him off at the same time." There was a pause, "You know Alpha Todd's power. How are you even going to keep him here?"

 My mouth felt dry as I fought to keep myself awake, "A sedative. Specifically designed to block Alpha Todd's abilities. I made it off of Anderson's research on him. Its nearly time for the next dose though, stop Jay's crying before he wakes up. I don't want Alpha Todd aggravated any more than he already will be." My wings twitched and my body shifted slightly.

 Turning my head toward the voices I felt a low hiss in the back of my throat, "Don't. Touch. My son." Even though my voice came out hoarse and quiet it stopped all noise in the room, Jay's crying stopped at the sound and I heard rattling followed by his loud whine.

 The whine he used when he couldn't get to me, "A-alpha Todd. I'm sorry about all of this." Ignoring the voice I rolled onto my stomach and pulled my stiff legs under me. Curling forward I pulled my wings up letting out a noise of pain when they pulled free of my arms and the joints popped loudly. The kind of pops that hurt.

 Jay let out another wail and the rattling got louder, I sat back stiffly letting my back crack. I paused when I felt a hand grab my shoulder, jerking away from the hand I scooted away until my back hit something with thin bars.

 Small hands touched my neck and slid up to touch my cheek, Jay let out a noise and I felt little arms wrap around my neck through the bars.

 Turning my head slightly I shifted my body, "Is this... A cage?" Anger spiked in my chest, "Did you put my son in a fucking cage?!" A large hand grabbed my jaw suddenly turning my head to the side, I felt the sharp sting of a needle press into my skin making me yelp "I'm sorry Alpha. Just until I can think of something to get out of this whole mess." I groaned when my body started to go numb again, the hand let go of me. All of my muscles relaxed and I slumped forward, Jay's hands trying to hold onto me.
