The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series)

One-Hundred Thirty-Four: Plan Av. Plan B

Zeus

When Dimitri asked us to come to the meeting, we knew it was serious. When the three of us walked into the room and saw all the guys, I knew something was seriously wrong. None of the girls was present. I did notice someone that I hadn't seen in a very long time.

“Well Blain it's been a while,” I tell him.

I was indifferent to Blain. I knew the triples liked him. At one point, during a drunk poker game, a few of them bought an island together. It's a beautiful island too. I go there a lot when I need to get the hell away. Poseidon is there a lot as well.

“Nice to see the three of you again.” He replied.

“Where are the girls?” Hades asks.

“They are not going to be present for this meeting. This is something we need to discuss with you.” Dimitri says.

“We would also like your opinion,” Chris tells me.

Now I know this is bad. Why do I feel a migraine coming on? Haze walks out at that moment. Well fuck me, they found him. Chris explains what happened and how Haze was found. Of course, those beasts were involved. Chris then explains what the girls found out when they visited the underworld. That was not surprising news. They explain that maybe by using some of Einyns blood to help locate her mother, which might be on Asmoday’s main island. Ok, that plan sounds feasible and relatively easy. Then Nigel and Draydon decide to tell us about the idea of their plan.

“Have you lost your minds?” Poseidon and I ask at the same time.

“No, but it makes sense. I heard a couple of guys talking about some mix-breed that was beyond powerful. They also want to get something back that was taken long ago.” Nigel says.

“What they really want is Mykenzie and Kyani, but they know that is not possible. Plus it is deadly.” Nigel tells us.

Yeah, I'd like to see them try and kidnap my nieces. That would end in utter chaos. The other plan is no better. Seriously, if either of those women got touched, my nieces would know immediately. As much as I want to tell Mykenzie and Kylani to get them, I also want the world to survive.

“They are not touching Mykayla.” Dustin growls out.

“They are also not touching Einyn.” Brandon says.

Well, Dustin's reaction, I was expecting. Brandon's, I was not. Guess he found his mate, as they call them. Now I understand why they didn’t want the girls here. I had never heard of such idiotic ideas in my life.

“When was the last time any of you have seen the girls?” Hades asks.

“Not since this morning. Why?” Marcus asks.

It's now night, and no one has seen them since this morning. I also noticed none of the animals was there. This is a terrible sign. I point this out to everyone. I hear Chris swear under his breath. All the kids are with Aphrodite, Imyra, Satyira, and Persephone. I saw my grandbabies before I came here. I wondered what was going on. We head back to the packhouse. Nymyra, Einyn, and Natalya are the only three there.

“Where are the rest of your little group?” Brighton asks.

“Don’t know."Natalya answers.

Again Chris swears, and I know she is telling the truth. This is a terrible sign. Where could they be?

Kylani

Oh, I know the guys are going to be pissed off. They will get over themselves. Besides, we are just visiting Reecie’s parents. Well, sort of. We stopped in and saw them, but we came here for Greg. That is Einyn’s uncle. Well, his name is a lot longer and hard to pronounce, so we gave him a name that we could actually say. We are here with him, and I have to say it is good to see him.

“So any idea where Trent and Paula might be hiding?” Mykenzie asks.

“Unfortunately, I know for a fact that Paula was captured. It had to be right before Einyn was born. Trent could be hiding in three possible places.” Greg says.

Greg was down not too long ago and met Einyn for the first time. She was so happy to meet someone from her family. He was overjoyed to see his niece. He and Paula are siblings.

“How do we find them?” Mykenzie asks.

He told us the places that Trent could be. Those places were easy to find. Then he explained how to locate Paula. That's if she is not being kept underground. That's the issue. Unicorns, like a phoenix, need sunlight to thrive. They get weak if they are kept in the dark for too long. Well, that could be a problem. The other issue is unicorns are also somewhat tied to an element. Einyn has a particular love of metal. Trent was tied to water. Paula was tied to darkness. For some reason, her soul latched onto everything that was in the underworld. She is super sweet, but when it comes to dark things, she loves them.

“Hey, Alexis we are gonna need you,” I yell at her.

“Ok, what do I need to do?” She yells back.

“Not sure yet.” Mykenzie answers.

Shit, we are going to have to figure this out. We said goodbye to Greg and headed off to look for Trent.

Mykayla

Wow, meeting Greg was amazing. I mean, I know Einyn, but I have never seen her shift into her unicorn. Greg shifted for us, and it was gorgeous. I had always thought that unicorns were white. I was wrong. Greg was actually a very light grey with beautiful blonde hair. I wonder what Einyn looked like.

“Hey, why has Einyn never shifted?” I asked.

“Probably because she doesn’t know how to. She was never taught.” Bryn answers.

All of us are currently in Italy, and it is gorgeous. Oh yeah, we are definitely coming here for our honeymoon. Dustin can suck it up and deal. This country is unbelievable. I was standing facing the ocean. The view from where we are is indescribable. This was the second place we had looked for Trent at. We still hadn't found him yet. I knew there was one more place to look.

“Let's just say that Trent somehow found out that Paula was pregnant before or when she was captured. Would he go looking for her or the child?” I asked.

“Actually he might. I have no idea if he knew, if he did then maybe he did go looking for Paula.” Jailynn answers.

“I wonder if that's who the warlock was gonna meet when he took Einyn?” I ask.

Mykenzie and Kylani give each other a look. I know that look.

“We need to get home. I have an idea.” Kylani says.

Kaleb

We walked out of Marcus's and Jason's house, and all the girls were gathered around what looked like a birdbath. I shot Dustin a look, and he shrugged his shoulders. We all walked over to see what they were up to. We got within three feet and a ring of fire surrounded them. What the actual hell? Hades put a hand on my shoulder to stop me. I knew this fire was different.

“That's not from Mykenzie and Kylani. That's from Alexis.” He told me.

I watched as Haze walked through the fire and up to the bowl or whatever it was that held the water. Mykenzie and Kylani suspended the sphere of water in the air as Haze released a shot of bright red fire. We all watched as the water turned to what looked like glass. It was amazing.

“Tye we need Einyn.” Kylani says.

I could see him look at Brandon. Brandon nodded and when to get her. He walked back with her, and her eyes widened when she saw what was happening. It was actually cute. Mykenzie and Kylani walked out of the circle through the fire. I actually cringed when she did this. I know it won't hurt her, but still.

“Shift,” Mykenzie told Einyn.

“I don’t know how,” Einyn said quietly.

Kylani looked at me. What the hell? I can’t help her shift. I help the pups in the pack shift for the first time when they get old enough. I can't help her see her unicorn. Kylani came over and grabbed my hand, and we walked over to Einyn. I look at Dimitri for help.

“Dominick was able to control metal. I was able to control fire. I lost my ability to an extent when I was bitten. We received our abilities from Aphrodite when she made us.” He explained.

Ok, that someone makes sense. Then it dawns on me. I am metal Kylani is water.

“I'll explain after. Just trust me.” She says to me.

“Gorgeous I trust you with my life,” I tell her.

Einyn stood there while Kylani, Mykenzie, and I formed a small circle around her. When Einyn started shifting, I was speechless. There, in front of us, stood a golden unicorn. Damn Einyn is beautiful.

“Touch the water Einyn.” Mykenzie told her.

She touched it with her horn, and a weird type of shock wave fanned out in every direction. That was fucking awesome. I heard the girls say something, but I couldn't understand it. Then Einyn shifted back. Yeah, we don't want her staying in her unicorn for long. The fewer people that know, the better. She is definitely a target. None of us knew what to say. Tye and Draydon had huge smiles on their faces. That was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.

“You are amazing,” I tell Kylani.

“I know. It comes with being a goddess.” She says smugly.

I give her ass a slap. She is so sure of herself. I see her throw a smirk over her shoulder at me and run. Oh, I know what she is up to. She is so damn sexy and naughty.

Nate

I have no idea what I just witnessed, but it was fucking mind-blowing. These girls never cease to amaze me. They are capable of the coolest shit. When Einyn shifted, I stood there with my mouth open. I think we all were speechless.

“I thought unicorns were all white?” I ask.

“Some but not all. Unicorns have a tie to different elements of weather. Einyn has a tie to metals. Her father has a tie to water. Her mother has a tie to dark things.” Alexis explains.

She then explained that dark things meant the underworld. Somewhere back in Einyn mother’s bloodline, a very long-ago relative mated with a demon. She then said that her mother was for sure captured. They also explained that it is possible that her father knew about Einyn, and he went searching for her. They think that her father was meeting the warlock that had taken Einyn but something happened, and the warlock was forced to place Einyn on Draydon’s doorstep.

“I think the warlock thought that Draydon would bring her to us,” Mykenzie says.

“We had no idea that Draydon had her,” Kylani says.

“If you had she would have been with you?" I ask.

“No, we would have left her with either Reecie’s parents or with Dimitri and Imyra. Those are the two safest places.” Mykenzie admits.

“You all bounce around too much,” I say.

They agreed. Then I remembered that they had disappeared all day. That started a whole argument. I got the death glare from the girls, and I wondered if I would end up with coloured hair or worse. I remembered what they did to Seth, Zak, Colin, and Peter. That shit was hilarious. Of course, I don’t want any of that to happen to me. I shot them my killer smile, which by the way didn't work. Well fuck!
