“No! I have to do something and find her. I can’t sit still without seeing her safe and sound.” Alec shouted. I know how he feels and I also
know that there’s nothing that I can do to ease his pain. Being away from your mate is like a death sentence. You won’t be able to manage and function well. Our beast will surely go feral if we don’t do anything about it. “Frey, Clay, please let me go after her,” he pleaded, and my mate looked really worried about him.
“We will find her, Alec. Just give us some time. We can’t just go out and search recklessly.” Freya said, trying to calm him down.
“You don’t understand, what if something happened to her? What if she’s already in so much pain and I am here waiting for that to happen?” he replied, “No I can’t just sit here and wait. I had to do something to find her.”
“Alec, listen to me. We’re going to get Camilla back. I promise you that.” Clay said. “But Freya is right, we have to think about it first. We can’t just go there blindly. We have to know who, what and how she was captured. Trust me and Freya, we are your friends and you know that we did everything we could for our friend’s happiness, right?” he added
“Camilla is my friend too. I will make sure to get her back at all costs once we find out where she was. An investigation into that was already in motion with Rapha. He is the royal attack and defense advisor, so he is good.”
“What do you want me to do now?” he asked in resignation. He already

knew that he couldn’t make his friends agree with him.
“Keep calm, and be ready to attack. We will find her, that, I promise you.” Freya said with conviction. It was the first time that I saw her this serious. Maybe because it was her friends and I know how much she cares about them. Or maybe because she was already Luna and her instinct had started to work. Either of the two, she looks convincing no wonder Alec agreed immediately.
“James and Rapha were both working on the investigation. Freya and I gave them some places they could search for her whereabouts based on the clues we gathered in our bedroom and all the places that she could possibly be. For now, we have to wait patiently.” I told him. He had his head down and I pitied him. But I had to make sure that he was not going to make any hasty actions or decisions.
I looked at my mate and she smiled at me, though I could still worry on her face. For now, all we can do is wait, but once everything’s ready we will surely go and get Camilla. And no matter how much I will stop Freya from coming, I’m sure that she will say no and come with us. The threat may be to me, but she’s the bait I will certainly take, no matter how risky it is.
The following day, I could still see Alec being so troubled. Rapha and his team have not come back yet and are not reporting on what was happening to them. But I am still hopeful that they will return soon for the good news. From our bedroom, Eunice’s scent stops there. But when we talked to her, she said that she had not left the dungeon and was mocking us for asking her, since we were the ones who put her there. She told us that she was disappointed in me because I had become weak ever since I mated with Freya. But she was wrong. I am stronger than ever. I never felt such power until we’d mated. And my Lycan. I found out his name after that as well, and I was never so happy when we became complete one.

‘We’re back.‘ It was James. I told him to mind link me as soon as they arrived and had important news about Camilla. I looked at my mate who was standing by the window. We are in dad’s office as he attends an important meeting with the other royal advisors.
‘Let’s go to our usual spot.‘ I replied and called out my mate and asked her to come with me. Calvin, James and mine’s usual spot was the place where Rapha trained us when we were kids. We kept it hidden from others and maintained it so we could use it whenever necessary.
“Why are we here?” Freya asked, when we reached the outskirts of the palace, our usual spot. I looked at her and smiled, then I walked ahead.
“Matteo,” James greeted,
“Why are you here?” Freya asked him and Rapha.
“I told them to meet me here when James informed me that they had arrived. I had to know the details first before we let them see Dad.” I replied and sat on a couch as she did too.
“We found Camilla. We don’t know whether she was safe or not
though.” Rapha said,
“I think she’s fine since Alec was quiet. When he started to feel any pain, that’s when something surely happened to her.” Freya informed them and he sighed in relief.
“I know how worried you are, and I’m thankful that you keep calm after everything.”
“You know that she’s my only relative and I love her. I treated her as my own daughter and I don’t think that I would be able to take it if something really happened to her.”
“Then tell me where she is,” I said, as Freya was hopeful.

“After a thorough investigation, we found her on the outskirts of the palace. There was this abandoned cabin that I noticed before and when we passed there last night, I noticed that the grass had been parted as if someone had passed by.” James said.
“We passed through there. We didn’t find Camilla’s scent but because of what James had said, we decided to check it out.” Rapha continued. “As we got deeper in the woods, that’s where we noticed her scent. It was very faint, maybe because it had been a day since she went missing.”
“And?” Freya asked impatiently.
“We confirmed it the whole night before we came back and yes, she’s definitely in the cabin. We let the warriors stay in the opening of the passage so they would be able to stop anyone from coming. And they apprehended 3 rogues,” Rapha answered.
“They are in the dungeon now. No one saw us except the guards in there and we had already warned them not to tell anyone,” James said immediately.
“Then, let’s prepare for Camilla’s rescue.”
“Have you questioned the rogues already? We need to find something about the cabin first. It might be a trap or something,” Freya suggested.
“We haven’t asked them anything yet, we reported to you first.” It was James.
“Interrogate them and find everything. Freya and I will go and talk to Alec and Dad. I think his meeting with the royal advisors is about to end.” I said, and we all stood up and started to do our tasks.
