Did you spend a lot of time with Alec?’ I ask Reaper.
A few hundred years till the witches imprisoned him in that dungeon. Juniper was murdered in front of
my eyes. I saw everything! In a sorrowful tone, he says. ‘Because I wasn’t his familiar, I couldn’t pass
on my powers to him. I couldn’t follow him through the portal to Pandora’s Box. The witches kept
repelling me back with magic. It closed before I reached it. After years of searching for Alec, I returned
to Shadowfay forest and remained there until you arrived.’
I’m so sorry, Reaper. ‘That’s a lot for anyone to go through, I grimace.
I smile and say, ‘When we visit Alec tomorrow, I’ll give you two some alone time to talk and catch up.
Td like that, says Reaper. For a while, we sit and gaze at the moon. Goodnight, Reaper,’ I reply, kissing
his beak.
‘Night, Luna, he caws as he flies up into his moon tree.
I walk to the lake, not quite ready to retire to bed, tucking my wand into my back pocket, half poking
out. I lie on my back, hands tucked behind my head, and gaze up at the stars in the clear night sky.
Something flitters through the air. It appeared to be a little stone. I sit up, perplexed, as someone
sneaks up behind me and grabs the wand from my pack pocket. A hand grabs my arm and pulls it
behind my back as I turn around. A knee digs into my back, causing me to fall to my knees, then on my
stomach. I scream, but whoever it is, has straddled themselves onto my back, and I hear a man’s voice
‘Dreamus Sleepous,’ he says, and I fall asleep.
As I open my eyes, everything appears fuzzy. My tied wrists and the hard brick wall against my back
are the first things I notice. I’m seated on a cold stone floor that’s cold to the touch. Then, as my vision
sharpens, I realise I’m in an old jail-like cell. I try to mind link Magnus right away, but nothing happens.
The mind-link connection has been severed. I try to untangle my hands, but the rope tightens
Take a deep breath, Nina, and stay calm. Let us examine the situation. I’ve obviously been kidnapped
and am now imprisoned in a cell. My wand has been stolen, so I can’t utilise my magic and can’t mind-
link anyone, not even Magnus. I don’t believe I’ve sustained any injuries.
I wiggle around to see if I can feel any pain or injuries; nope, no pain, no injuries other than from the
rope burn around my wrists.
Now the question is, who would kidnap me, and why would they do so? I can’t conceive of anyone who
would want to do this to me, so I concentrate on chewing the rope around my wrists and spitting out the
tiny prickly fibres.
Footsteps are approaching. I gaze up to see the wolf council and Hank looking at me with smug
expressions. Someone else is Turking behind them, a hooded figure.
“Alpha Bennet, what brings you here? Why did you kidnap me?
Welcome, Luna. I see you’ve settled comfortably in your small cell, Alpha Bennet chuckles.
I scoff, ‘Comfortable is far from the term I would use! Now answer my question!’ I shout.
‘So, dramatic,’ Alpha Bennet says, ‘And I didn’t kidnap you for starters. Kadva did,
‘Who is Kadva?’ | ask.
The hooded figure stepped forward. He held his hands out, and they began to glow. A blue magic
sphere appears in both of his hands and transforms into balls of water.
I’m Kadva, he introduces himself,
“How did you manage to do that?’ ‘Who are you?’ I enquire, astounded by his powers.
Kadva is a mage, Alpha Bennet interrupts the conversation.
“A mage? My coven sisters would really love to meet you, well, before you kidnapped me, of course,
but I’m sure they’d want to meet you for less than pleasant reasons now. I frown.
I’m just following orders,’ Kadva says in defence.
‘Following orders? You work for the wolf council?’
‘The one and only,’ he says in an uncomfortable manner.
Despite the fact that Kadva kidnapped me, I can’t help but think he’s not really an evil guy. I’m curious
to what they have against Kadva to force him to do their bidding. in
I’m not sure why I’m here. Why did you have me kidnapped?’ I look up at Alpha Bennet.
“How would you feel if this planet was free of humans?’ To live in a world where we are no longer
required to keep our powers hidden. ‘To be able to shift into our wolves without being hunted down and
slaughtered by humans?”
This planet was made for humans. It was never intended to have supernaturals on it in the first place.
Books dating back a thousand years can be found in the Shadow Crest library’s forbidden room. I read
one book in particular. It documents the history of supernaturals. We did not come from here but from
another dimension called Mysteria. To answer your question, I would not feel right if humans no longer
existed, especially in their own world where they are meant to be. I prefer to leave the humans alone
and return to Mysteria if given a choice. But I’m not sure what my kidnapping and confinement here has
to do with this?”
Alpha Bennet bursts into laughter, ‘You were supposed to say how wonderful living in a human-free
world would be. Your priority should be for your own species. You’re a disgrace to all werewolves.’
I jump to my feet and lunge at the bars where Alpha Bennet stands, ‘You’re lucky I don’t have my wand
and that I’m behind these bars. The wolf council is the disgrace!’ I shout.
Alpha Theaton laughs. And the Luna hasn’t even heard the best part of all this yet,’
‘What part?’ I ask, knowing I’m not going to like what I hear next.
‘The part where Magnus will never see you again until your blood-flame the vampire king wipes out the
human race,’ Alpha Theaton grins.
‘H-He won’t do it!’ I yell.
‘Oh, but he will. He was going to do it once, and if he wants you back, he will have no choice but to do
it.’
| glare at Hank, ‘This is why you were back in Shadow Crest? You were spying on me? How else would
the wolf council know that Alec is my blood-flame?’
Hank smiles proudly at himself, ‘You should have killed me when you had the chance,’ he laughs.
‘Oh, don’t you worry, Hank, the next opportunity I get, I will kill you, I warn. He stiffens and stops
laughing.
I lower my gaze, concentrate, and try to mind-link Reaper, Magnus and anyone else from my pack, but
nothing happens. I glare up at Kadva.
‘You did something to sever my mind-linking ability, didn’t you?’
Although I can’t see his face under his hood, I can sense he is highly uncomfortable. He remains silent
but nods.
‘Please, Kadva, I have to tell Magnus not to free Alec. I don’t want the human race lo die because of
me. My life is not worth the death of billions of innocent people!’ I plead.
Kadva takes a step back and walks away.
I have to agree with you, Luna. Your insignificant life is not worth the life of even one human being.
Kadva takes a step back and walks away
I have to agree with you, Luna. Your insignificant life is not worth the life of even one human being. But
both of your lovers will think otherwise, so sit tight, sweetheart, because the world is about to change,’
he says, laughing along with Alpha Theaton and Alpha Amir. They take their leave.
You’ll be sorry!’ You will all be sorry! Please, no one should die!’l yell at the top of my lungs through the
bars.
They slam the door shut behind them, and I drop to the ground against the cold wall. I need to get out
of here, and I need to put a stop to this. I chew on the rope, and the prickly fibres in my teeth feel like
nails on a chalkboard. The rope is now frail enough to
