Corrupted Redemption

The party has been amazing. Ana truly out did herself. We did dinner in the ballroom and cut my cake. Then sent the pups off to bed. Now we've moved to the back yard for a bonfire and drinks.

Music blasts as I down another shot of bourbon. "How are you feeling llama?" Jara pats my shoulder. Causing me to cough as I shake off the drinks after effects. "I am amazinnggg bean...Jara." I tap his cheek and start swaying to the music. "Right dork, anyways I think its time for some water yeah." He tries to hand me a bottle but I swat his arm away.

"Please I'm a werewolf. Its going to take more then a few shots to get me off." I grab another shot to prove my point. Jara shakes his head and laughs. "Dude! You've had a bottle of tequila and a bottle and a half of bourbon. What few shots." At his words I get the urge to pee. "Hold this! I'll be back." I shove my shot at him and stumble my way through the house. Once up stairs I run to our bathroom and relieve myself.

As I'm making my way back down the hall. I stop and listen in on the kids. I press my ear to the door but hear nothing. No snores or deep breathing. I slowly open the door and make my way into thebroom. My body freezes and I begin to panic. "The kids are g..." My link is cut off as a sharp sting hits my neck. "Whhhattsss...happ." everything goes black.

*************************************

ANA POV:

The kids and Lexi are have vanished. The last thing Ilad heard was Lexi 's partial alert through their link. By the time we got there, they were gone.

"How did we not scent anyone! Where the fuck were the patrols!" Sinead shouts and slams his fists on his desk. "There weren't any disturbances on our borders. Don't blame my men!" Jara shouts back. "If you were doing your job Gamma, instead of talking to every available she wolf. We wouldn't.."

"ENOUGH!" Ilad yells. "We were attacked out of no where? Attacking each other will get us nothing." She says calmly but her chest is heaving. "Ive contacted the coven. They are sending over a few witches. Hopefully they get something. Because magic has to be at play." Ilad sighs. Jara and Sinead look ashamed.

"I understand we are all hurting. But its not just sister and the kids. They took my mate, my pups." Ilads whispers and her voice cracks. "I'm sorry Jay. I didn't meant it." Sinead says. Jara hugs his brother and pats his back. " No, I get it. And we're going to get them back." He says and looks at all of us. Determination shining in his eyes.

We all sniffle and nod before falling silent. Soon there is a knock on the door. A warrior lets us know the coven's trackers have arrived. We all walk outside as a black SUV rolls to a stop in front of the pack house.

The first woman out is older. Her greying hair frames her tan skin and her lips are spread in a beautiful smile. "Alpha, Luna. I am Simoné. I wish we were meeting on better terms." We nod and prepare for her coven sisters to emerge.

Next is a fire haired woman in her mid 30s. She's tall and slender with vibrant blue eyes and a scowl. "Alpha,Luna. This is Sirene." Simoné speaks for the angry looking woman. "And this is...." Just as shes about to introduce the next member of their party. Jara stalks forward and picks up a petite brown haired woman. Growling in warning to the group. Her eyes are pale brown. Filled with both shock and amusement at the beast of a man.

She gigles and shrieks as Jara runs towards the front door. "Hi! I'm Emil. Sorry so so sorry." She yells. We then hear her asking someone how to turn off the ride. We all laugh and begin walking towards the pack house.

"Well that was a turn of events." Simoné laughs and Sirene smiles, shocking us all. We walk to Sinead's office and sit down. "So where do we start " I ask. Simoné smiles for a few minutes and Sinead then clears his throat. "Well first we eat and then we go try to get a signature on the magic used." Simoné says. I make quick work on lunch and before long we are standing in the kids room.

"This was definitely a dark witch." Simoné says and Sirene nods. "Not any dark witch sister....Miama." Sirene sneers. "Yes but she wasn't alone. A cloaking spell perhaps. We need Emil to trace this."

After some convincing and promises that Emil would be safe. Jara let her out of his grasp. She traced the magic to an area on the map about 9 hours from us. We sit and put together a plan.

We head out tonight!
