I caught her scent immediately, a mere second before Baby Boy Calix mentioned it. Her heavenly aroma filled my lungs. I ran to it. I found it concentrated by a table in a strangely medieval-looking dining room. My Baby! That was her smell! I would know it anywhere! I inhaled deeply, running my fi**gers across the smooth wood of the table, looking for anything else that could be helpful: a hair, a scratch. Something unnerved me. I frowned, r*bbing the bridge of my nose, trying to make sure I was not mistaken. Something was wrong.

Something is weird about it. It’s different somehow. It’s still amazing but there’s a new element to it, I explained over mind-link.

My heart was racing. Why had her scent changed? Was she hurt? Was she losing her strength?

They’re using magic to mute the scent and weaken it to hide her better, said Chance, narrowing his eyes in anger.

Yeah, said Danny, nodding. Her scent has been watered down. It’ll help the kidnappers hide too so you won’t smell her on them, explained the P.I.

My wolf came forwards instantly. We let out a low growl. We wanted to crush the life out of whoever was concealing Chasity’s scent and keeping her captive. Alex threw me a warning wide-eyed look, placing a fi**ger to his l*ps. He was afraid of being overhead. I didn’t care who heard me.

When I get my hands on the people who took Chasity, I’m going to peal their skin off their flesh, I snarled.

I had never felt this way about anything before. Every time I thought I had been furious in the past paled in comparison to this.

Guys, look at these, the paintings, the sculptures, the knick-knacks! Said Calix.

Who cares?! I grumbled, feeling anxious.

Her scent stopped at the table. It didn’t lead anywhere. I kept circling the table, hoping to find a scent trail.

What’s bothering you, son? Asked Chance, looking at Calix with concern.

The girls and the foxes! Exclaimed Calix.

Is that a band?! I snapped, annoyed.

He was distracting me from tailing Chasity’s scent. I was the artist and art fan here and even I didn’t care about the paintings right now so why should he?

There are beautiful girls in every piece along with a hidden fox! Chasity is a beautiful girl! Said Calix pointedly.

That gave me pause. I had to admit: even a broken clock was right twice a day. I tore my eyes from the tabletop and examined some of the nearby paintings. Had they kidnapped Chasity for her beauty? My blood was boiling. Was this the work of some sick deranged secret admirer? Did this have anything at all to do with her being a Luna? Did it have anything to do with her being our Luna?!

Suddenly, I caught a whiff of her scent somewhere other than the table.

This way! I said.

We followed the scent trail to a bedroom. There was an adjacent bathroom. Both rooms smelled of Chasity. I breathed in the distinct fragrance of her skin and hair: honey and roses…and something else. There was an added element I couldn’t quite put my fi**ger on.

I sniffed the sheets and found her scent was strongest here, even more potent here than on the table. I did not pick up any male scent on the sheets. Just Chasity. Thank goodness. A massive relief washed over me. Calix lay down on the bed, curled up in the sheets coated with Chasity’s scent. I sighed. He had done the same thing on our birthday when he had laid down on the cot in Chasity’s tiny old room. I wanted to go back to that day and never let Chasity out of my sight. Maybe we should have moved out of the pack house the moment we had found out we were fated to her? Maybe we should have stayed on the island or on the yacht, enjoying one blissful day after the next? Maybe we should have just never gone to that stupid f**king party with those stupid f**king girls!

We don’t have time for this, ok, Calix, we have to keep moving, said Alex, his tone gentle but insistent. It seems like she was here but isn’t now, he added sadly.

I didn’t want to say it but it was the heartbreaking truth. Her scent lingered but she was gone from this place and we needed to find out where.

They must have taken her to a second location. I can find out from the real estate company who was leasing this house or who owned it and we can go from there, proposed Danny.

Something else is different about Chasity’s scent though! I said.

The change was beginning to concern me. It wasn’t the fact that it was faded or not fresh. It was something else entirely.

Alex’s grabbed my arm in a flash, gripping it tightly. The sudden movement startled everyone, even me.

What?! I asked, alarmed.

I know why Chasity’s scent is different, said Alex, looking so woebegone all of a sudden.

I could hear his heart beating frantically.

Why’s it different? Asked Calix immediately, his tone anxious.

Alex stared at Calix and then at me. I couldn’t take anymore suspense. Alex needed to speak up now. Thankfully, he did.

The new element is another person…a baby…Chasity’s pregnant, revealed Alex.

Felix

My Baby Chasity was pregnant. What should have been one of the greatest moments in my life was a living nightmare. My baby was having my baby and both of them were somewhere unbeknownst to me. All I knew with any fraction of certainty was that they were alive. My wolf was in panic mode and so was I. There was a constricting pain in my ch*st as though something was trying to stifle me, like a band tightening around my lungs and my heart. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The feeling was intensified through the link I had with my triplet brothers. They were feeling it too. Being separated from our mate and our pup was a physical pain as well as a psychological one.

I tried to calm myself by focusing on the fact that Chasity and the pup were alive. They were alive and we would get to them soon someway somehow.

I know she’s ok, I murmured to myself and my brothers over mind link. She has to be, she has to be, she has to be, I chanted, thinking I could will that thought into existence.

f**k. When I got my hands on those kidnappers, they would wish for death.

I knew it was futile but I had to try calling out to Chasity.

CHASITY! I yelled over mind link so loudly the whole pack probably felt the echoes of it. Chasity! Chasity!

I couldn’t reach her. I couldn’t locate her but I could feel that she was out there. I sighed. She would need me. What if the pregnancy was a difficult one? What if she had morning sickness? What if she was cold at night or extra hungry during the day? What the f**k were they feeding her? Were they even feeding her? My anger burnt white hot at the thought. What if those disgusting motherf**kers were starving her? My heart was beating erratically. I was close to shifting but what good would that do right now? I had to struggle to hold my wolf back.

We’re gonna find her, said Calix, his tone reassuring. And once we do, we’ll never let her out of our sight again.

That was for damn sure. When I got my Baby back, she was going to be on lockdown indefinitely.

Yeah, we’ll find her and the rest of her pregnancy will be spent safe with us, added Alex, trying to be comforting.

Even though they were trying to say optimistic things, I knew my brothers were just as horrified as I was because their words felt hollow. There was no solid conviction in their statements. They were trying to will those reassuring thoughts into existence too.

I wondered what my Baby’s mindset was like right now. I could only imagine how terrified Chasity herself must be. I wondered if she even knew that she was pregnant. She was so inexperienced. What if she was nauseated and tired and hungry and unaware of why?

I had not even realised I had been projecting these thoughts over mind link until Alex interrupted them.

Felix, stop torturing yourself with questions, he said calmly but firmly. Let’s focus on the investigation. The sooner we find Chasity, the sooner we can put this all behind us and make her kidnappers pay!

I hated to admit it but my elder brother was right. We had to pour every ounce of our energy and attention into getting Chasity and the pup back safe and sound.

Calix

I was trembling slightly but I folded my arms tightly to try to mask it. My wolf and I were devastated. We were being robbed of these milestones with Goddess. She deserved so much better. I could not believe she was spending the early weeks of her pregnancy in such a situation. We had totally failed her. My l*p quivered. I had to hold it together. Breaking down wasn’t going to fix anything and it certainly wouldn’t help Chasity. There was no time for blubbering or moping about. Every second counted and Chasity was counting on us. I couldn’t fully feel the connection bet**en us. I knew the fiends who stole her were tampering with her ability to mind link somehow but I could still feel her essence faintly. She was alive. I knew that much to be true.

I glanced at Chance. He had turned away from us. I heard a sniffle. He was hiding his tears. I put a hand on his shoulder. This was hard on him too. He had been deprived of every moment he should have shared with Chasity. I didn’t think I could have coped with what he had been through: being kept from your loved one for nine years by spiteful people. My stomach churned when I recalled the fact that those “spiteful people” were my very own Mom and Dad. I took a deep breath to steady myself. I really didn’t think my parents had anything to do with the kidnapping but my wolf was begging me to contact Mom and tell her Chasity was pregnant. My wolf thought that if we told Mom about the pregnancy and she happened to know where Chasity was, she would give Goddess back for the sake of the pup, her very own grandchild.

I know you don’t agree but something inside of me just knows Mom didn’t do this. She wouldn’t go this far. She’s behaved awfully. I know that. It’s hard to admit but it’s true but she’s not this cold. No way, no how, I said to my wolf.

My wolf closed himself off from me. He had only ever behaved like this a handful of times. I sighed inwardly. I shut my eyes tightly. I could feel a migraine coming on. Usually only Alex and Mom got those, sometimes Dad. I felt Alex’s hand on my shoulder.

Alex

As scared shitless as I was, I had to be strong for my younger brothers. Felix always pretended to be a tough guy but underneath that tough exterior was a soft sensitive interior. I knew this was destroying him. Everyday without Chasity, he got weaker. We all did. Calix was more open with his feelings usually but even he was holding back nowadays. Everyone was acting a bit out of character due to the stress of the situation.
