Alyssa’s POV
Alpha Edward is angry, his body is shaking and he’s growling menacingly. I follow his gaze and he’s glowering at Alpha Blanco, I see recognition in Blanco’s eyes and his lips quirk into something sinister.
“Why do you smell like my mate?” Edward booms, taking strides toward Alpha Blanco. The latter watches him curiously,
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Alpha Edward,” He simply says and looks towards the king, Alpha Blanco knows something for sure. Before we can comprehend anything, Edward lunges at Blanco and pins him to the wall. The two Alphas start throwing blows at each other and when they shift into their form. I calmly guide my guests out of the room, leaving Leon and Dan to deal with the raging Alphas.
Once we settle into another space, soft music begins to play and the servers start to bring out champagne like nothing is happening in the other room, the guests begin to interact and chat away. I shake my head and gulp my juice. My hands go to rub my belly and a smile spreads on my lips. I’m going to be a mom. Will I be a good mom? All those questions run through my head. A strange sensation rise in my chest and I stroke it. I exhale and inhale, suddenly feeling hot despite the cool weather.
The blurry sensation from when we were attacked at the cabin is back and when I receive a text on my phone, my heart stops for a second and a fearful shiver goes down my spine. There is a picture of Ajax being held in an uncomfortable position and a knife to his throat. My hands begin to shake violently and I drop my phone as though it burnt, only to pick it up again.
“No, no,” I mutter. While I’m looking at the picture, Images of my brother and Samantha run into my head, they are battered and can barely open their eyes.
‘Also, I’ve planted bombs in some selected packs and all your centers, they shall go off if you’re not at the border in thirty minutes,’Amacus’ voice rings in my head.
‘No, you wouldn’t,’ I choke quietly.
‘You replied, your voice is beautiful when it’s fearful,’ He says.
‘Don’t do this, they are innocent,’
‘I don’t have to if you come to the border in thirty minutes, Alyssa dear,’
My first instinct is to tell my mate and I rush towards the room he’s in but Amacus speaks again just as I burst open the door,
‘Telling the Lycan king is unwise on your part. I have a remote that can set off the explosives,’ His voice is bored and I freeze in my tracks.
“My love,” Leon calls me. I force a smile on my lips and say.
“I was coming to see what’s taking long,” My eyes scan the room, the two Alphas have shifted back to human form, they have blood and cuts on their bodies. They are glaring at each other.
“We’ll be there, I think,” He says and I nod, I turn to walk out but he grabs my wrist and twirls me to him, we are standing close to each other.
“Are you alright?” He asks, caressing my cheek. I swallow a thick lump.
“Yes, please kiss me,” He seems taken aback by my request but does anyway, the kiss is long and deep, and we only pull away when Dan clears his throat. I give him a peck on the lips before leaving the room and heading to the main exit.
“Allie! where are you going?” I hear Arya’s voice. I quickly wipe my tears, turning to her and smiling.
“I just want to make a phone call to my brother, he promised to come but didn’t,” The lie is smooth and she nods, I walk out of the room and immediately dial Enrique’s number since I can’t get through to him via mind link. The call goes to voicemail, next I try Samy’s but it’s the same. I’m panicking and walking around the garden aimlessly, Amacus is close, he not only has my family but has placed explosives in the packs.
‘Alyssa Altamirano, If you’re not here in thirty minutes, I’ll take your family where they’ll die a slow painful death, and then…. we’ll have a fireworks display… Boom!’ Amacus says and my heart accelerates. I begin my walk to the border and the night is dark and cold.
‘Chalo, what are we going to do?’ I panic.
‘We can fight them, Allie, we are one of the strongest wolves to ever exist,’ She says.
‘No, he can use magic to weaken us,’ I retort. I don’t want to feel as powerless as I did last time.
‘We’ll figure something out and maybe, it’s what we need to free the werebears and finally make an attack on the dark coven,’
The walk to the border is excruciating and soon, I was there. There was no patrol in sight which is odd,
“Hello, Queen Alyssa,”
Alyssa’s POV
I straightened my back and face Amacus, he has a vague smile on his lips and his eyes are intense.
“It’s good to see you so soon, dear Alyssa,”
“Where is my family?” I demand, looking him in the eyes, he observes me for a long time before he smiles again.
“So there is something about witches you need to know, we are also blessed with talents, and Lenet there…” He points at the brown-haired woman with piercing dark eyes wearing a dark robe that covers her hair. “Is a protege and illusions are her talents,”
“Shit,” I mutter as realization just dawns on me. My family isn’t here, his witch put those images in my head to lure me to the border, I start to back away, trying to mind link Leondre but I’m blocked, it’s not only to him but everyone. Fuck.
“And Jafar there, can block signals while Lombe weakened you just as fast as you try to move those pretty hands of yours to open a portal,” I assess the ones he mentioned and all I see in their gaze is an emptiness.
“Don’t beat yourself up though, the bombs are real,” He says. I use my telekinesis to scatter his witches apart, making sure they don’t recover in due time and just when I aim for Amacus, I am stroked to the ground by an invincible force.
“Agatha, you’ll injure her,” He scolds and I look at the woman he called Agatha, she is a splitting image of Agatha, my dream friend but an older version.
“Can you blame me for wanting that? The bitch is corrupting my daughter and now, she’s getting her memories back,” She hisses, glaring at me and I hold her glare fiercely.
“Erase them like you’ve been doing, I can’t afford to lose your daughter,” Amacus sighs.
“I’ve been doing that since I got her back from that pack, I think my magic isn’t strong enough to contain her,” Agatha whispers unhappy but I can hear her. So my dream Agatha is indeed as powerful as she said, a small smile spread on my lips despite the weak condition I am in. I try opening a portal but someone grabs my hands and a sharp pain pierces through my neck and darkness envelopes me.
My eyes open and I flinch when I see Amacus’ face close to mine, I get into a sitting position and pull my legs to my chest.
“Hello, dear Alyssa,” He says in that dark tone of his. I swear if he calls me dear again, I’ll bite him to pieces.
“The explosives,”
“Still there but won’t be activated, just in case you misbehave during your stay here,” He answers and I sigh in relief.
“Why am I here?”
