Chapter Forty-Four - Gone

THIRD PERSON

Connor was out on the streets walking to a jewelry store. He planned to get a necklace for Kara as a gift for working so hard. He walked through the farmers' market and decided to get some fruit for the family.

When he was paying, he didn't notice a really tiny sting on his neck and continued his walk to the jewelry store.

Walking through an alleyway, he was almost there when out of the blue, he started to get dizzy and everything went dark.

He felt himself crash on the floor and someone tying a fabric over his eyes and his mouth before dragging him away.

Before he fell unconscious.

***

Jacob was hunting near the border when a needle from a crossbow flew through the air and jabbed into his neck. He looked at where the needle came from and saw a traitor.

He tried to mind link someone, but nothing was working. He let out a warning growl but soon fell down to the ground.

All he could think about was Kara as he desperately tried to find a way to link her.

The last thing he saw was a familiar head of blonde hair coming to grab him.

***

Edward sat at his window, his feet dangling off the balcony. He missed his mate dearly and thought about her 24/7.

Suddenly, he caught someone's thoughts and looked around to see where it came from. But too late as a needle stabbed into his neck and he went unconscious, falling down the balcony and being dragged away from the house.

Alice ran to his room to see him already gone. She couldn't see past the point of her brother-in-law passing out and quickly went to seek help.

Kara's help.

***

Kara just couldn't focus on the meeting so when her phone rang, she took the chance to excuse herself. She accepted the call placed the phone next to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Kara," Collin said in a frantic tone. She questioned, "What's wrong?"

"You have to come home now," he pleaded.

"Wait, slow down. What's going on?"

"It's Connor and Jacob..."

"What happened to them? Collin! What's going on?!"

"They're gone..."

That was all she needed for her world to stop. She accidentally dropped the phone in her hand, the Council looking at her in confusion.

"Alpha Manfred, what's wrong?" Alpha Hunter asked.

Her breathing was shallow as she slowly turned to face them. King Satanas looked at her in concern, "Alpha Manfred? Is something the matter?"

She slowly lifted up her gaze to look at the five men, "Connor and Jacob, they're gone."

***

They raced back to the pack house. Lord Alas had shifted into his faery form and was holding onto King Satanas' cloak as they ran through the woods.

The demon king had already shifted into his own demon form, catching up to the vampire leader, Leader Carson. He was running in his vampire speed through.

King Divinos was flying through the trees, clearing a pathway for the others and the two big animals with his magic. Alpha Hunter was in his gigantic dragon, soaring through the cleared forest.

Alpha Manfred outran everyone except the dragon and wizard. Her thick, white fur flowing through the wind. Her mind was already trying to piece together her mates' whereabouts, and also wondering if her vampire was okay.

She tilted her head back and let out a desperate howl, hoping her mates heard and would answer her.

She prayed that the Moon Goddess wouldn't be cruel to take away hermates, and howled again, but this time, Alpha Hunter joined in roaring loudly.

***

She jumped over the border gate with the others and ran along the path for vehicles. King Divinos swiped open the door before they had even reached and five out of six ran in. Alpha Hunter flew up to the roof and drop down from there at the balcony.

Luna Manfred ran up the stairs with the other following her and King Divinos threw open her office's door. They ran in, shifted, and quickly put on clothes from the compartment.

She pulled out a map from the corner and laid it out on her table. The Council tried to decipher who took them and where.

"Luna!"

Luna Manfred's eyes shot up as the five men shuffled aside to give her a clear view of the person at the door. Grey moved aside to reveal the Cullens. They came in and Carlisle announced, "Edward's missing."

Her face fell. Her whole world crashed down on her as she tried to comprehend the news. Her legs buckled and she collapsed to the ground.

She could feel her marks wither away the more she gave in to the newly added stress. But she couldn't give up. She touched the three marks lightly, feeling a little burn.

Quick to recover, she got up with the help of King Satanas and used the table to support her from falling.

She quickly steadied herself and started to think where her mates could be. And who could've taken them.

***

Every morning, she spent time in her office, figuring out where her mates are. When afternoon came, it came with a series of meetings with various leaders from all six species.

Everyone was reporting more rogue attacks than usual, even the Night Moon pack. The rogues were starting to get past the borders and she knew she had to go back.

Packing a bag, Luna Manfred left for her pack in her wolf and the bag strap in her jaw. Upon arriving, she ran to see the Beta Female and Gammas pacing around the living room. She shifted, wore clothes, and went to them.

"Where's Beta Francis?"

Kylie looked at her with sorrow clouding over her eyes, "I can't feel him over the bond. I think he's dead."
