Adira woke up in the back seat of a car. The last thing she remembered was being carried into the

motel room. He gave her a shot and that was the last thing she knew. She was getting tired of this, she

tried to reach Artemis and this time she could hear her a lot better.

She was going to have to find a way to stop being drugged all the time. She stayed calm and

pretended that she was still asleep. Whoever this guy was he was very good at detecting changes

even slight ones. She was done giving him the advantage.

She went inside herself to meet up with Artemis. Together they could come out of this faster and have

their link back in working order. They were making a plan, let’s see if that jerk will see this coming

So long as he keeps looking at the road and not back at us this is going to work. He is so egotistical

that perhaps it will be a good thing.

Lily finally got a chance to see the King, “Your Highness, I have a memory that I think is going

to be of importance.”

“What memory is that Lily? Are you sure its accurate?

“Yes, your Highness I know this one is for real, you have to warn them immediately. His name is Valdis

Cessair. He is a weretiger, he was the third partner in the operation. He is the one that would take

certain shifters and humans to a lab for experimentation.”

“I am not certain but I do remember the name Octo Corp. It is the business front for these scientists. I

have never been to their site, I think it is in the mountains but that is all I know. I do know that it is a

huge facility and they paid top dollar. He is worse than the Alpha ever was, he had no trouble taking

small children. Where ever he took them to, they never returned or were seen again. Sometimes

bodies would show up in the lake, Alpha Micheal would order the gamma’s to fetch them out and they

would burn them, so there wasn’t any evidence left.

Valdis Cessair has the ability to know when trouble is coming and he can also hide in the shadows to

the point he is invisible.”

Lily wasn’t sure that the King believed her, till he called for his guards. He ordered three of his personal

guards to track down Jack or Duncan

and relay this news. Lily let out a sigh of relief.

Duncan, Jack and Archer arrived at the motel along with a dozen wolves. Duncan was quiet, which

worried Jack. The more quiet he gets the more unpredictable it is going to be with him. When he took

his sister from Ashton’s arms. He used his Alpha voice to gently wake her wolf.

Then they shared a mind link and after it was done, Duncan used his Alpha voice to send her into a

deep sleep. He handed her back to Ashton

“You are now her personal guard, if anything happens to her, you will be held responsible.”

Ashton felt honored by the Alpha’s order, if it came down to it he would protect her with his life. He also

had a small crush on the she wolf, he wasn’t sure why though.

Ashton put the girl in the front seat of the van and they drove back to her pack territory with two of the

twelve warriors traveling with them.

Jack had the best nose out of all of them, he was sniffing for anything that they could use to follow that

bastard or at least which way he

went. Duncan joined him because he was most intuned to the scent of his mate. Together they did pick

up a faint scent of both tiger and the Luna.

They all joined in with Jack and Duncan in the lead, they followed the trail to an old gravel road where

they lost the scent. He had to of had a car or something here waiting for him, he knew he would be

followed so he used a back up plan, leaving his men as bait. 1

That is when Archer started to follow the tracks, they were easy to find because of the nature of the

road and the fact that it wasn’t used much or at all. Duncan was getting a bit impatient while Jack did

his best to keep him calm.

“We will get them soon, don’t worry. When we catch up and the Luna is safe. I will let you go all crazy

wolf on their asses, I will even have popcorn to watch the show. For now you have to keep your head in

the game though ok?”

Duncan nodded, calmed himself yet again and continued on with tracking. Sending a silent prayer up to

the sky.

“Please keep her safe, till I can reach her.”

Val wasn’t sure who was following him but he had that old nagging feeling and knew it was time for a

back up plan. He had the feeling back at the house when those idiots decided it would be a good idea

to kiddnap a Luna and the Alpha’s sister.

He knew the area, not totally but enough for his plan to work, he drove a stolen car to the spot. He

needed to have it waiting for him and shifted to run back to his house.

As soon as both females were in the van, he felt the feeling again stronger and knew he had to make a

diversion in order to get out alive. As soon as he entered the motel room he was out the window on the

other side. It wasn’t easy with the unconscious Luna, but this wasn’t his first rodeo either.

He masked his scent and tried to do the same with the Luna. Once he reached the car, they were off to

the lab. They better pay him a hefty price for this b*tch. From here it was only another hundred miles to

his destination. It was a shame he had to sacrifice two of his men for this. That was the risk they knew

was there when they signed up.

He looked into the back seat. She was still sleeping yet, so he didn’t have to hurry too much, going

down this mountain area road

could be dangerous.

Still if he’d taken more than a glance he would of noticed that the Luna was looking a bit more hairy

than usual and getting bigger. She was doing it slowly in the dark so he wouldn’t notice what she and

Artemis were up to.

They had to take it slow in order not to hurt their pup, their pup was of the utmost priority. If their pup

was at full term it wouldn’t have been possible. He is still small enough though for this to be done

safely. She could sense that once they arrived at their destination it would be a lot harder to escape.

At the same time they were able to mind link Duncan and Apollo, they told them of their plan and that

they were in a car but there wasn’t any way for her to tell them exactly where. She did notice a stone

marker and some out crop of rocks but that was it. She said she would give them a signal as soon as

they stopped.

Now all Adira and Artemis had to do was go slow with the shift and wait.

They were all running the trail of car tracks when Duncan stopped. All the other wolves had stopped as

well, they were just standing there.

Tack told Archer that it was a pack mind link.

They waited till they were all back again, they all seemed much happier now, almost energized.

“Well Duncan are you going to tell the rest of

us?”

“Adira, she is alright. She has a plan to get away, her and Artemis couldn’t do anything before because

of the drugs in their system, now though they have worn off. She said the guy that has her is smart but

arrogant, she made him believe that she was still asleep. She said she has a plan and will try to give us

some sort of signal.”

After that they wasted no more time, they all started running down the road as fast as they could go. If

anyone came across the scene on the road that night they would think the end of the world might be

coming or they were going crazy.

Faster and faster they went up the mountain road, soon they would catch up. Jack soon realized that

the wolves were no longer in their wolf form, they had changed into their lycan forms and were

spreading out into the forest, while still keeping along to road.

Jack looked at Duncan just as he watched him change from a golden wolf to a golden lycan. It was

something worth seeing as long as you are not on the other end of those teeth and claws. He almost

felt sorry for whom ever they were about to meet. Almost.
