The Lost Luna Princess novel Chapter 2

　　Alpha Kings POV

　　I raced down to the safe room using my enhanced speed to check that Nick had gotten my family to safety before he had confronted Jason. As I entered the staircase that led to the safe room my nose was hit with the coppery smell of fresh blood. Fear and anger flooded my senses, and my wolf Maximus was growling in my head. He was just as pissed as I was promising to make Jason and everyone else involved pay.

　　As I rounded the corner the corridor walls were splattered with blood and the lifeless bodies of two guards were torn apart on the ground.

　　Maximus spoke in my head telling me what I already knew. The scent from down here wasn’t that of the rogues but of my lifetime friend and beta Jason. I flung the safe room door open and there on the floor was my beautiful mate and queen.

　　Vanessa was alive but her injuries were bad, she wasn’t healing, and I could smell wolfsbane in her blood.

　　“That bastard laced the knife in poison” Maximus confirm what I was thinking.

　　I pulled the sliver knife from her abdomen, the smell of burning flesh entered my nose as it seared the skin in my hand. My face began to feel wet from the tears that fell from my eyes at the sight of Vanessa. I knew she wouldn’t survive this the blood loss was too much and the wolfsbane with silver prevented the healing process from working.

　　Through our mate bond I could feel her pain, her fear and her anger. She opened her beautiful blue eyes that once looked like the sparkling reflection of the ocean noticing how they had now darkened, tears falling from them onto her beautiful flawless face. She looked at me and with her soft voice she said one thing that made me feel as if my world had ended.

　　“Angel”.

　　Had Angel been taken had someone saved her I didn’t know but I promised Vanessa, I would find her. Maximus was using all of his strength to try and come to the surface knowing that our pup was missing, it took every ounce of power I had to hold him back. And with that I felt my heart tear into pieces. My Vanessa slipped away. I felt our bond fade leaving nothing but emptiness and the feeling that half of me had died. I couldn’t hold Maximus back any longer and with a deafening howl I gave him control.

　　- Luna Queens POV

　　It had been a long day; I had gone back to my room to settle Angel as the festivities had worn her out and she was beginning to become fussy. There was a sudden knock on the door before it burst open startling me. William had ordered Nick to get me and our daughter to safety so he could lead the road to victory against the rogues that had entered our territory slaughtering a few of the guards that were on patrol.

　　“Follow me Luna and keep close” Nick shouts as we run down the corridors of the palace.
