Luna had been released from the hospital and was now resting at home after three weeks.
Luna, like Alyssa, Juliet, and Alexander, were not permitted to leave the castle without bodyguards or mates.
Jace was on a secret mission to investigate Kim, Amy, and Sam without telling anyone so he let Alexander stay at the vampire kingdom because he knew Alexander would be safe there.
Loukas, Draco, and Ronin were investigating the kidnappers and Nathanial, but no one told them about the mastermind.
Nathanial had been imprisoned in the vampire kingdom dungeon for three weeks, which worried Draco, Loukas, and Ronin because they still had no leads on the enemy’s plan.
They were all sitting in the hall, worried, as Loukas sighed and rubbed his face, looking at Alyssa, who was sitting next to him.
“We must inform the entire kingdom about this.” Ronin spoke as Loukas shrugged his shoulders, unsure whether this was a good idea or not.
“I don't know, but we can notify people and inform our parents as well,” Draco said as Loukas shook his head and replied, “They just took a leave from the kingdom finally giving all the duties and responsibilities to us as they are now enjoying the time, they couldn't together so let them be,” Draco sighed nodding.
“We need to find a way to get answers from Nathanial,” Alexander said as Alyssa hummed, adding, “and capture those people before they destroy us all,” to which Loukas agreed.
“Where has Jace gone?” Draco was irritated because Jace hadn't spoken or told Draco where he was for three weeks, which worried Draco.
Alexander responded, "He's fine, and he's at our private home," which perplexed Draco, Ronin, and Loukas.
"How so?" He always brings you along, so why not this time?” As Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet looked worriedly at Alexander, Draco inquired suspiciously.
Alexander smiled as he stood up and sat next to Draco, saying, "He is a hybrid, so he has wolf symptoms as well," as Draco stared at Alexander, troubled.
“We don't understand you, Alex.” Loukas also spoke suspiciously, while Alexander sighed and said, "He's in heat. I mean runt, I think that's what Alphas get, but as an omega, he once said it's like heat, but he can get aggressive towards me,” Ronin looked at Loukas and Draco.
“But this is the first time we've heard this,” Draco said, as Alexander responded, "he always spends his runt alone, but this time he got symptoms early and left early. Normally, I stay at home with Maya, but with my life in jeopardy, Jace wanted me to stay with you,” Loukas hummed understandingly.
“You should have told us earlier,” Ronin said, shrugging his shoulder while he smiled at Alexander.
Alexander spoke up. “Neither I nor Jace took this seriously because it is normal in the wolf world.” Draco smiled as he nodded.
“Guys, now you know where Jace is and why he can't help, but he'd want you guys to keep going,” Alyssa said as she held Loukas' hand, who sighed and nodded.
Juliet said, "I agree because staying all trapped is annoying me," as she looked at Ronin, who chuckled knowing it was true because he, too, felt trapped.
“What's worse is that we have not a single lead towards the enemy,” Luna said as she rested her head on Draco's shoulder, who sighed and hummed while holding Luna's hand.
“We can torture those idiots, even more, to find out the answers.” Loukas said as Alyssa sighed while she spoke “But try to be careful because they are all quite dangerous,” as Loukas nodded.
“That Nathanial guy knows everything, and even though he's being tortured, he never answers,” Luna said, as Juliet agreed sadly.
“You guys can go inside and talk or watch something while we investigate those guys again,” Loukas said as Alyssa looked at Luna, who shrugged her shoulder.
“Can't we accompany you?” Luna questioned as Draco sighed while he cupped Luna's cheek and replied, "My love, I can't see you getting hurt, and what if those people attack you. I'm sure Ronin and Loukas would freak out if anything happened to Alyssa and Juliet,” Luna frowned.
“But I can go with you guys,” Alexander said with a smile, making Draco laugh.
“Jace left you in our care, so taking you to the dungeon is a bad idea,” Ronin said. “Because Jace trusted us, your safety is in our hands as well,” Alexander huffed, nodding his head irritably.
“Look, it's best if all four of you stay out of this investigation.” Loukas spoke as Ronin hummed while he said “I agree with Loukas because we care about you and want you to be safe."
Juliet spoke up. “But it isn't fair because you can be attacked as well,” Alexander agreed, nodding his head.
“There are guards everywhere to protect us,” Ronin said as Juliet sighed and nodded.
“Why can't the guards protect us?” Luna wondered. “The guards can protect you,” Draco replied, “but what if they fail?” Because you girls are humans and we are vampires, we can protect ourselves from other wolves, witches, and vampires, but you can't.”
"I am a wolf," Alexander said as Alyssa nodded her head in agreement while smiling.
Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna wished to remain with Loukas, Draco, and Ronin because they were afraid the enemies would attack them as well.
Alexander was well aware of this, which is why he was attempting to get permission to remain with Loukas, Draco, and Ronin when they questioned Nathanial.
“Yes, you are, but you are Jace's mate, and he isn't here to say yes or no, so we will protect you for now,” Draco said, making Alexander frown.
Alexander remembered how concerned Draco, Loukas, and Ronin were whenever he was in trouble or injured in the past, so he had no choice but to agree.
“All right, we'll wait in my room, but you have to promise you'll tell us everything,” Alexander said, as Loukas smiled and replied, "Yes, we will, and we'll tell a few guards to stay near the bedroom door."
“That would be fantastic; we will wait for you all.” Juliet spoke as she smiled at Ronin, who was holding her hand.
Luna spoke up. “Yeah, we can bring some junk food,” Draco chuckled, shaking his head.
“You can go to Alexander's room, and we'll have the butler bring you some junk food.” Loukas said as Alyssa murmured, "Okay."
“We will take them to Alexander's room,” Ronin said, as Loukas hummed “Okay.”
Loukas went to the kitchen with a butler, while Draco and Ronin took Alexander, Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet to Jace's room.
As the girls entered, Alexander opened his bedroom door, while Draco and Ronin alerted the guards to keep their mates and Alexander safe, and Loukas walked with the butler.
As they closed the door and walked away, Loukas gave all of the junk food to Alexander, Juliet, Alyssa, and Luna.
Draco, Loukas, and Ronin went to the dungeon to investigate Nathanial, while Luna, Alyssa, Juliet, and Alexander sat on the bed and chatted while eating.
“I am very concerned about everything that is going on.” Juliet spoke up as she offered the gummy bear jellies.
Alexander said, "I agree, and to top it off, Jace hasn't even replied to me yet," as he ate one gummy bear jelly while sighing.
Alyssa inquired, "When was the last message you received from him?" Alexander responded, "It was one week ago and after that, he didn't respond at all."
