The fireworks were an hour away, so the twins contacted the driver and Molly, who were to take me to the hiding place, but I was grumpy again as we reached the underground parking area at the tower.
Molly climbed into the car ahead of me, and sat silently in the passenger seat, but I stood my ground by the back door.
“I don’t want to go” I complained, and held Jaxson’s hand.
“Sweetheart, get in the car”
I exhaled and climbed in, quickly followed by the twins.
“This is so stupid” I complained, and pushed away Koda’s hands as he tried to put my seat belt on me “Alpha Troy’s in prison, my vision’s not going to come true”
“We can’t take that risk” Jax argued gently “And please, stop using that trash’s title, how many times do we have to tell you that you outrank them all”
“But I have a really bad feeling” I told them “I don’t want to go”
“If this bad feeling is real, then it’s even more of a reason for you to go” Koda told me, and finally clipped the belt on me.
I growled in frustration “It’s getting really annoying, having the two of you gang up on me!” I complained “It’s always going to be two against one, and you think you guys get the majority vote because you’re twins”
“We’re not ganging up on you, it’s not how it is” Jax said, and gently ran his fingers down my cheek “We’re just trying to keep you safe, if anything happened to you, we would f*cking die, so please, just go without an argument, and once the fireworks are over, we’ll know that the vision was averted, and we will come and get you”
“Fine” I sat back grumpily “But why can’t you come with me?”
“We have to pretend things are normal to try and capture Troy is he does get out”
“Okay”
“And stop saying we’re ganging up on you just because you didn’t get your own way” Koda said, but he was smirking at me “Now give me a kiss”
I reached over and kissed him, before we all said goodbye, but as I drove away with Molly, and my guard, the bad feeling started to grow.
After a few minutes of driving, the driver turned into an old rundown building with construction equipment everywhere “Is this where we’re staying?”
“Yes, Luna, this is the address Alpha Koda just gave me”
Once he was parked, we climbed out and walked past a broken door “Shouldn’t there be guards here?” I asked Molly and the driver, Sebastian.
“They’re probably hidden so they don’t draw to much attention to the area” Molly told me.
“I’m sorry I took you both away from the festival”
“It’s okay, Luna” Sebastian smiled at me “My kids were driving me crazy, I volunteered to work today”
I giggled and nodded as I stood by a window, and looked up at the sky “Do you think we’ll be able to see the fireworks?”
“Yes, Luna” Molly told me, as she started pulling items out of her backpack, she was carrying.
“Here, drink this, and we’ll watch the fireworks” Molly smiled and passed me a cup full of dark black liquid.
I gave it a tentative sniff and frowned “What is this?”
“Wine” She answered, and held up her own cup “Cheers”
“Cheers” I tapped her cup with mine and started drinking as the fireworks started to explode over head “Ahh, it’s starting!”
“Yes, it is” Molly said.
I took another sip, and watched the fireworks in the sky, but then my throat and head started to burn in pain, and then I heard a loud bang. I turned to see Sebastian on the floor.
“Molly?” I said in complete shock, as I dropped the cup.
I could hear the cup shattering on the concrete, but my mind was getting fuzzy, and I was finding it hard to breathe.
I fell down backwards and felt my head hit the ground hard, and the smell of my blood filled the air around me.
“MATES!” I heard Ava scream in my head “HELP!”
“Ava?” Flynn shouted back “What’s wrong!?”
Molly leaned over me and tilted her head with a smirk.
“AVA, MADELYN!?” I heard Jaxson’s, but then everything went blank.
JAXSON’S POV
“I don’t like this” I turned to Koda.
“And you think I do” He responded as the car drove away “It’s the only choice. If Troy gets out, we can’t risk it”
“We should just go kill him now, and be done with it”
“If Troy gets out and manages to take Rebecca, then we can track them, and find out Fenrir’s location”
“I know”
“Come on, let’s get up to the main square”
When we reached the main square opposite the tower, we met up with our parents and the fake Madelyn. I frowned in disgust. It was strange to see my girl’s face, but not have any attraction to her scent, as Rebecca’s scent wasn’t appealing to me.
“Oh boys, good, you’re back” Mom smiled at us from the seat she was resting on beside our father “The fireworks are nearly ready”
“Wonderful” Koda said, as he looked at our fake mate with the same uncomfortable look that was on my face.
“How about we go for a quick walk around the crowd” Rebecca reached out her hand to me, and both Koda and I tensed.
I took a deep breath, and took her hand, hating that there was no feeling of the bond. Knox was growling angrily at Rebecca for wearing our mate’s face.
“I can’t wait for this to be over with” Koda linked me, as Rebecca reached out and took his hand too.
“Are the guards in place at the prison?” I linked our father.
“Of course” He told us “But there’s no movement, Troy is still locked up”
“Great” Koda relaxed, as we started walking among the pack.
The buz in the air was contagious, and I hated that Madelyn was missing it, she was so excited to see the fireworks.
“You’re majesty” We heard one of the advisors say loudly over the noise “The fireworks are ready”
