Nicks POV
I woke up on the floor, the bite on my shoulder nearly healed already thank the goddess for being a werewolf, if I’d been a human I wouldn’t start to heal for days. I took in my surroundings as I stood up, Jason was gone the window at the end of the corridor smashed so I’m guessing he jumped. I looked out and realised he must have landed on the rose bushes underneath, that would have given him a softer landing with less injuries if any at all.
“The Luna’s going to be pissed when she sees them” my wolf Haze chuckled in my head, I nodded in silent agreement.
I tried to mind link Marie and her wolf Violet but nothing, it was like I was hit by a wall. I heard movement outside and went to see what it was, a pack warrior was growling as he healed from what seemed to be a broken back leg. He would need to stay this way until fully healed otherwise there would be a chance it wouldn’t fix properly once in human form. I could see the pack doctor on the lawn out front tending to a wolf that had a leg torn completely off.
“That’s got to have hurt” Haze winced at the sight of one of our own.
“Haze this had to be Jason’s doing as a rogue wouldn’t have the strength needed to do that to a pack warrior” Haze nodded in agreement.
I tried to contact Alpha William but instead of getting a reply I got heavy breathing.
“Where are you” I said through the mind link.
After a few minutes silence he responded with two words “safe room”
His voice held pain and anger which made fear run through me. The safe room is where I had left Marie to protect Luna Vanessa and her daughter. I should have stayed with them after all as gamma that was my role, play bodyguard to the Luna and Princess, protecting them at all costs. Giving my life if need be whilst I always hoped that would never have to happen.
I ran as fast as I could tapping into my wolf to gain extra speed, as I arrived the sight before me dropped me too my knees. There sitting on the floor was Alpha William holding Luna Vanessa in his lap her yellow sundress she had worn at the festival now soaked with blood the colour a deep shade of scarlet.
“Dammit Haze I knew I should have stayed with them, at least then the Luna could have escaped”
“But then you would be dead, and you couldn’t stay the Luna gave you an order. You know as well as I do, we cannot disobey her”
Haze was right we couldn’t disobey the order of the Luna just like we couldn’t the Alpha. I looked around and noticed that both Marie and Angel were gone. I helped Alpha William stand as the pain of losing a mate is enough to kill some wolves but being the royal alpha, it would take more than this.
“I have her, I have Angel we escaped but the Luna sh... she was stabbed. I…it was Jason he’s working with the rogues. Jason was following us, but I think I lost him in the forest!” Marie’s voice flooded through my mind. Her voice was trembling I could tell she was crying, her fear flowing through the mate bond letting me know how she felt.
