“Mason, it’s a ghost town.” Sage said when I answered the phone. I had it on speaker, so Derek could hear as well.

“What do you mean?” I asked her.

“There’s no one around,” Brandon answered.

“Have you gone into the pack house?” Derek asked.

“No, we just got here. I can smell a rogue.” Brandon told us.

“That could be Brad. Ashlyn said that his connection with the pack is now broken. Following the scent. We are just waiting for dad and then we will be there.” I told them.

“Text me and I’ll open a portal. Or better yet, call Nathan. We may need his help.” Sage said before ending the call. I immediately called Nathan and thank the goddess, he answered.

“Mason, what’s up?” He answered.

“Nathan, we need you here. Ashlyn went to Blue Moon and we haven’t heard from her since she left. Sage, Brandon and Liam are there now and it’s suspicious. We also can’t get a hold of the Alpha or Beta,” I told him. My worry was growing by the second, and Thor was trying to shift.

“Okay, I’ve only been to the pack offices, if you can meet me there.” Nathan said, and I let out a breath.

“Derek and I will meet you there as soon as my father arrives to watch over James,” I told him.

“Give me 10 minutes and I’ll be there waiting.” Nathan said before he hung up.

“Mason, go get Nathan, I’ll wait for your dad.” Derek told me. I rushed into our room to get changed and to check on James. I was grateful that he was still asleep.

Derek was watching over James when I came out of the closet. He grabbed my neck and crushed his lips to mine, pulling me flush to his chest. He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.

“We will find her.” He whispered, and I nodded.

I was trying to stay positive, but I couldn’t feel her through our bond. She was either blocking us or she was sleeping. But I didn’t know why she would be sleeping.

When I exited the elevator and entered the foyer, my father was waiting.

“Dad.” I greeted him.

“Mason, where is James?” He asked me.

“Derek is with him. I know this isn’t the meeting I was hoping for, but there’s nothing we can do about it now. I need to go get Nathan, and then we are going to go find Ashlyn.” I told him.

“I have one of my assistants picking up some bottles and formula for James. I’ll keep him safe, son.” My father said before he entered the elevator to our apartment.

I rushed out of the pack house to the garage. Driving to the pack offices should only be about 10 minutes, but it felt like hours. I was anxious to get to Ashlyn. I needed to make sure she was safe.

Nathan was waiting outside when I pulled up. He hopped in the passenger seat and I took off. Sage called when we were heading back and I answered.

“Sage, what have you found? I just picked up Nathan. We should be there in about 10 minutes.” I told her over the speaker in my car.

“We found Brad. He left Ashlyn at the pack house before he headed to his house. He hasn’t seen her since. And he also hasn’t seen anyone else. It’s like everyone just vanished.” Sage told us.

“Did you inspect the pack house?” I asked her.

“We have, and we haven’t found anyone. Brandon and Liam also can’t pick up Ashlyn’s scent. It’s like she was never there.” Sage said.

“I know she’s alive, but I can’t feel her emotions through the bond.” I told Sage.

“Sage, have you reached out, using your magic?” Nathan asked his sister.

“I can feel her, but I have no idea where she is. I’ve tried a location spell, but something is blocking her. I fear whoever has her locked her in a lead room.” She said, panicked.

“Lead?” I asked.

“Lead is the only thing that can block out a person’s magic besides a spell. Lead makes sense. There is no one as powerful as Ashlyn. And she killed the only one that could match her magic.” Nathan explained.

“This means they are receiving help from someone else in the magic kingdom. Lead is not a well-known weakness of witches. Only higher ups know unless someone opened their mouths.” Sage explained as I pulled up to the front of the pack house. Derek was outside, waiting. I parked the car.

“Sage, we are with Derek. We will be there in 5 minutes.” I told her before I ended the call and hopped out.

“Is James okay?” I asked Derek. He was already standing by my door.

“He’s still sleeping and your father is there with him. I called my father before I left and he should be here shortly.” Derek told me.

“Good,” I told him. I explained everything that we learned to Derek before Nathan opened a portal and we all stepped through.

The three of us were now standing in front of the Blue Moon pack house, and it was eerily quiet. Sage, Brandon, Liam, and Brad rushed over to us. Sage wrapped her brother in a hug.

“Brad, it’s good to see you alive.” I told him.

“Thanks. Congrats on your son.” He said.

“You’ll meet him soon enough, but right now, we need to figure out where Ashlyn is.” I told him and he nodded.

“This place is like a ghost town,” Derek said, looking around.

“If someone was going to attack, where would the civilians go?” I asked Brad.

“They would be in the bunkers. We have them built on the other side of the packlands. But where the hell are the warriors?” he asked.

“I have no idea, but let’s check the bunkers. Maybe something happened, and they ordered everyone down to the bunkers.” I told him and he nodded.

Sage grabbed Brad’s hand and told him to think of the location of the bunkers. Soon, a portal opened, and we were standing in the middle of a forest.

Everything was still covered in snow, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. We started to follow Brad. If anyone was out here, we should at least see the tracks. He pulled back some vines, and we entered a cave.

We walked further in. Sage took out her phone and used the light. We came to some stairs and started to descend.

“Brad, what is this?” I whispered, to avoid the echo.

“This is the way into the bunker. There’s an emergency exit, but I wanted to see if anyone had been this way.” Brad answered quietly.

We came upon a steel door with a padlock. Brad pushed in some numbers, and the door opened up into a room full of Blue Moon members.

“Brad?” The former Alpha moved to the front of the crowd.

“Alpha, what the hell is going on?” Brad asked.

“I’m not sure. We all woke up here about an hour ago.” The former Alpha answered.

“Is anyone missing?” I asked him.

“My son and Alex are the only ones missing.” He answered me.

“Why didn’t you leave?” Derek asked him.

“We tried, but both the exits were locked,” he said.

“Did you see Ashlyn?” I asked him.

“Ashlyn is here?” He asked me, and I nodded.

“Let’s get everyone out of here and then we can figure out where to go from here.” Brad said, and we all agreed.

All of us helped get everyone out of there and made sure they were all home safe before we made our way back to the pack house. I still couldn’t feel any emotions from Ashlyn. I was growing increasingly agitated by the minute. And I could feel that Derek felt the same way.

We were now in the living room explaining what had happened to the former Alpha and his Beta, Alex’s father.

“Sage, who would be powerful enough to put the entire pack to sleep and move them?” I asked her, confused.

“Our family could, but I’m not sure about anyone outside the royal family,” Sage answered.

“Could there be another rogue witch like the one Ashlyn killed?” Derek asked.

“Possibly. I’ll call my father and ask him. We should be thankful that all they did was put them to sleep and not kill this entire pack.” Sage said, and we all agreed.

“This is most likely Grace and Susan, but why would they have taken Ian and Alex?” Brad asked, thinking out loud.

“Leverage. She is going to use them to get what she wants from Ashlyn. There was no way she could get to Derek or me. Ian is the next best thing,” I answered him.

“Sage, can you track Ian?” I asked her.

“Let’s do this together. Our magic should be enough to break through anything.” Nathan said.

The former Alpha and Beta showed them to their son’s rooms so that they could get something they could use to track.

I pulled out my phone to call my dad. I needed to make sure James was okay.

After speaking with my father, the others returned to the living room. James was awake and eating. Derek’s father had also arrived and would be staying until we returned. I followed the others out into the back of the pack house. Sage and Nathan needed space to perform the tracking spell.

“Mason, what the hell is going on?” Liam asked me, standing beside me.

“I have no idea. I can feel that she is alive, but I can’t feel her emotions.” I told him.
