The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

Chapter 95

When Magnus wakes up, he discovers that Nina has not yet gone to bed. Magnus peers out the

window to check if she is still by the moon tree. There’s no trace of her.

“How come I can’t smell her scent?’

Nina?’ He shouts as he walks down the hallway and then down the stairwell. Lilac and May are the first

ones to leave their bedrooms.

Alpha Magnus, it’s like three o’clock in the morning. Why are you shouting?’ Lilac asks, adding a yawn

“Have any of you seen Nina?’ he inquires. ‘She didn’t come to bed with me last night, he adds.

‘When was the last time you saw her?’ May inquires. ‘She was under the moon tree with Reaper. I’ll go

wake him up and ask him if he knows where she has disappeared to. Not that he can tell me, but

perhaps he can show me,

As Magnus approaches the moon tree, he notices Reaper, fast asleep with his beak tucked beneath

one of his wings.

‘Reaper, Reaper, I need you to wake up,

Reaper stirs awake, stretches his wings, and clicks his beak.

‘Nina didn’t come to bed last night. Do you happen to know where she went? Can you show me where

she has gone?’

Reaper begins to caw and screech in response to this. He seems troubled that Nina isn’t here. As he

searches for her, he takes to the sky. I shift into my wolf and run after him. He will have a better field of

vision than I will, flying in the air. Nina may have been injured and might be unable to move. It would

explain why she never came home, but she didn’t mind-link me. I try to mind-link her, but the

connection is gone. Reaper makes his way into town. I shift back and inspect the forbidden room, but

she isn’t there. After that, we head to the lake. She was here at some time throughout the night. I can

smell her scent I say to Reaper as we look around.

As I approach the lake, I notice a rock that has been weirdly positioned near the water. I see a note

under the rock and pick it up. Reaper takes flight and settles on my shoulder as I raise the note up to

show him.

Alpha Magnus, if you want your precious Luna returned alive, you are to free the vampire king, and he

is to eradicate the human race. Once the human race has been annihilated, that’s when your Luna will

be returned. If you both refuse this order, then we will kill her, and then we will destroy your entire pack

declaring you an enemy to all wolf packs and kill every single pack member.

Regards,

The Wolf Council

Reaper squawks and flies around in a crazy manner across the air. While I fall to my knees in shock

and in response to the ultimatum that has been placed before me, I raise my eyes to the sky..

Luna, I will get you back one way or another. I will bring you back home safe where you belong. I

promise you!

Magnus shifts and returns to the packhouse. Reaper perches on his shoulder. The sun is just beginning

to rise in the sky. Everyone is already awake and alert after May and Lilac awoke the entire packhouse

to notify them that Nina has gone missing.

Has anyone been able to mind-link Nina?’ Magnus asks. May attempts to mind-link Nina.

There is nothing. May says in dismay.

Magnus faces all the witches drinking tea at the table, ‘I need you to take me to Pandora’s Box. I need

to speak with Alec,’ he says.

Why Alec? Wouldnt Yiselda be a better help?’ Fern asks.

Magnus holds the note up. The wolf Council have taken Nina hostage. They left a note for Alec and

me,

What! May shouts

What does it say? Ela asks.

1 will tell you what it all says later. But, for now, I need to speak with Alec, so Nina can be returned safe

and alive, he says, knowing too well that if the witches know there is a chance that Magnus will let Alec

out, then they most likely won’t allow him into Pandora’s

Box again Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

All right, we can go now. The rest of the witches and I follow Elona she proceeds to the portal, where

we enter through the circle and emergo outside Pandora’s Box. Alter entering the covon stead, I walk

towards the glont mirror until Lilac layo her hand on my back and tells me to stop.

“Alpha Magnus, we need to tell Yiselda first that Nina has been kidnapped and that you need to speak

to Aleo urgently, she says.

‘We’ll inform her afterwards, Magnus says.

‘Sorry, Alpha Magnus, but you will have to follow me into the kitchen and see Yiselda Magnus,

onnoyed, clenches the note,

Fine!’ he snaps and follows them into the kitchen

Yiselda, something terrible has happened! May says, racing over to Yiselda, who is eating breakfast.

‘What is it?’ she says, startled, standing up.

‘Luna, she has been kidnapped by the wolf council. They left a note for Magnus and Alec,

‘What does it say?’ Yiselda asks.

‘You may read it once I’ve spoken to Alec, Magnus says, masking his displeasure at the question.’ It’s

important that I speak with him right away. Nina is in danger,’ he says,

kitchen and through the mirror. She materialises a book and transforms it into a slairway, and we follow

her up to the enormous, hefty door in the distance. Yiselda unlocks the door, and Magnus dashes by

her, ignoring the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers he passes along the way.

Alec, Alec, Magnus shouts. He looks up to see two glowing brown eyes in the shadows of the cell.

I know you, and I aren’t close for obvious reasons, but Nina is gone. The Wolf Council have kidnapped

her

Alec comes face to face with Magnus with such speed, sending Magnus to tumble back to the ground.

What do you mean the Wolf Council has kidnapped her? Nina is a witch, and she has her wand. So

she would be able to protect herself, Alec says.

Alec is right. Even with all three alphas up against her, they still would not have been able to kidnap

her.

The witches have caught up and circle the cell listening to our conversation.

I’m not lying. The wolf council must have had help to kidnap her, Magnus says as he hands Alec the

note. ‘Perhaps they were able to take her wand away from her?’

‘That would make sense if what you say is true, Alec says, accepting the note, He holds it up and reads

it out loud.

Alpha Magnus, if you want your precious Luna returned alive, you are to free the vampire king, and he

is to eradicate the human race. Once the human race has been annihilated, that’s when your Luna will

be returned. If you both refuse this order, then we will kill her, and then we will destroy your entire pack

declaring you an enemy to all wolf packs and kill every single pack member.

Regards,

The Wolf Council

The witches gasp and whisper amongst each other. Alec’s breathing becomes heavy, and he looks

away in shock.

“They have my blood flame and took her away from me. I will make the wolf council pay!’ Alec viciously

snarls and lets out a horrendous deafening screech, with his hands clenched around the bars. Magnus

and the witches cover their ears. The Grimghouls have become louder hissing and snarling while the

Shadow Reapers shriek. Alec locks eyes with Magnus.

Before Magnus can respond, Viselda steps closer.

‘Not going to happen… ever! She says sternly.
