“Yes, I’ve sent you the vehicles registrations. I can follow them 20 miles then they disappear. But 6 miles west of losing them a traffic camera has just logged the vehicle plates again. I am searching cameras on the routes connecting the two but the time frame doesn’t suggest they made any stops” Axel says as he looks at me through the camera.
“So what next?” I ask.
“Either we intercept the vehicles or we wait to see where they go and formulate a plan there” he answers.
“Intercept” Nova says suddenly. Turning my attention to her I gesture for her to continue speaking. “They cannot have many with them in two vehicles alone, if we can intercept them before they reach their destination we also have the element of surprise, and we can have greater numbers. We don’t know where they are going or what will be there if we let them take Flo.”
“You’re right” I say admiring her quick thinking.
“We can intercept and you can join us at our pack” Axel suddenly pipes up.
“Are you sure?” I ask sharply.
Suddenly I see my uncles face appear off screen, “we want to help. As Alpha of the Scarlet Moon Pack I know we are the closest to them, the route they are travelling I estimate we could intercept them in 20 minutes if we leave immediately. You are further away and in the time it takes you to catch up it could be too late. You helped us with rogues 4 years ago, let me show this packs gratitude in supporting you.”
“Thank you Uncle Henry” I say gratefully, “are you able to monitor their route?”
“We will set off immediately, I have 20 warriors downstairs 6 of which are part of the elite squad. I have a feeling they safe travelling to the neutral territory to the south of our pack but we will be able to meet them either way they won’t get away from us” he assures me.
Knowing they are more than capable of holding their own I nod In agreement, “I’d be very thankful. We will set off to your pack shortly and keep us updated please.”
Suddenly Nova surges up and comes to stand beside me, “hello Alpha Henry, I’m Alpha Jaxs mate Luna Nova. First I’d like to say thank you for offering to help, Flo is my sister and I am most grateful. But I also want to let you know these hunters will be armed, they are after me and will do anything to get me. We know they have silver bullets from the wounds Andrew sustained and they must have sedatives to have taken Flo. Please watch your backs.”
“Of course dear, thank you for informing us. I’m looking forward to meeting you later I’ve heard good things. We are going now, Jax have your phone on” he reminds me before disappearing from the screen.
“I’m going to stay here and be their go between” Axel explains as I look at him with raised brows as it’s not like him to miss out on any action.
“Good plan” I say before sighing and running my hand through my hair. “Laurence come next door we need to chat, Nova you too. Axel Laurence will be back shortly.”
Walking in I shut the door before standing to look at my Beta and mate. “Laurence I want you to stay back. I trust you running the pack in my absence but I also need Theo close to me for Florence. Ensure patrols stay heightened although I doubt there will be an attack if they are continuing moving away” I order quickly.
“Yes Alpha” he says.
“The note, obviously if we can get Florence beforehand it changes things but we will deal with that as soon as we are back. Did you contact Kingsley?” I ask him.
“He will be here in 2 hours tops” I assured me.
“Ok, keep him close to you. He’s also wanted by them but he has had much longer to learn how to avoid them” I say bluntly.
“Nova we are going to go with Theo and 5 wolves to meet my uncle, I have good faith in him” I say turning to look at Nova.
“Ok” she replies simply.
With an exasperated sigh I shift my weight uncomfortably, “what’s up Jax?” Nova asks sensing my conflict through the bond.
“I’m unsettled leaving the pack when we have just got Caroline here, I haven’t had chance to check she has settled or check in with Luca” I worry.
“Would your father be ok stepping in to help?” Nova asks tentatively. “I know Luca will be happy to help and will take any orders Laurence issues.”
“That’s a good idea Luna, I would be happy to contact him and get both him and your mum here. I think a night at the pack house would be a safer option for them anyway just to be cautious” Laurence says looking for my agreement.
“You are full of bright ideas my Luna” I say making her lips turn upwards slightly.
“Ok Laurence you know the plan. If all goes well we will be back tonight, keep in contact” I order him seriously.
“You can rely on me boss” he assures me confidently.
“I know” I reply before Nova and I head downstairs to meet the waiting warriors.
“Alright listen up, we are going to head to my uncles pack Scarlet Moon. It should take us approximately an hour and a half to get there if we go in Wolf form however I think we should take vehicles. I’m unsure as to how Gamma Florence has been treated so i think it offers us more options for travelling home, if she’s been sedated she may not be able to shift” I explain. “Theo and a warrior with your Luna and myself, the rest of you in the other vehicle” I instruct.
“Yes Alpha” they respond before immediately jumping into action making pride flash through me. I open the door for Nova to climb into the truck before running around and jumping in the truck myself, I wait for everyone’s door to be shut before tearing down the driveway away from the pack-house with a roar of the engine.
The journey there is a tense one with little spoken, I have Nova sat with the phone ready incase anyone makes contact but as we enter my uncles pack we have heard nothing bad a few texts from Laurence.
“Do you think they’re back?” Nova links me suddenly.
“I don’t think so, I assume he would have contacted me if they were” I reply quietly whilst reaching over and squeezing her hand. Hearing her sigh softly I pull up outside the packhouse and immediately see Axel is waiting. Theo who has been silent on the way over here jumps out eager to hear if anything has changed.
“News?” I ask as I open Novas door and help her out.
Without responding Axel points making me turn and see a van driving cautiously up the road. Walking forward I see my uncle is driving with his son Abel in the passenger. I feel Novas stress build up through the bond so I quickly gather her in my arms as I spot a medical team arrive on standby.
“Axel come on man, is she there?” I ask quietly whilst rubbings Novas shoulder.
“She’s there” he confirms which causes Nova to gasp as a couple of tears drop down her face in relief. “She will need medical attention though I’ve been told” he warns us.
Throwing open his door my uncle steps out, smelling blood on him i grimace as I wonder whose it is, “Jax I will need a hand” his deep voice calls out.
“Wait here” I whisper to Nova before running down. Hearing her soft footfalls behind me I turn around with a frown.
“I’m not waiting, I’m her Luna and her sister as well as a trained doctor. I’m not sitting on the sidelines watching whilst she needs me” she says calmly making me relax as I know she’s right.
Leaning forward I try to smother my gasp as I see Florence, she’s lying across the laps of 3 warriors whilst they attempt to stem some bleeding. “She was injured whilst we extracted her, all the hunters are dead but one managed to stab her multiple times before we reached her, she was unconscious so couldn’t fight back” my uncle growls.
