" Harmony is alive? you knew didn't you!" I growled. "What the hell is wrong with you?" "You were on the verge of death a month ago. Where did she take Jessica?" "I don't know where she is!" I glared at him. He led me to believe my sister was dead for what? Not only is Harmony missing Jessica too.

"This is not the time to be arguing. All of us are here mate less, tensions are high so calm down. Where was the last place Jessica said she was?" I glanced between Lance and Brian.

"America the Silver River territory." I huffed out. "Let's go there."

"You two can travel I must stay with the pack here." Brian states his head casted down.

I nodded in his direction casting a glance at Lance as I left the room. I could feel his eyes boaring into the back of my skull as he followed me from the room. With everything already as it is this was beginning to be a major set back. Jessica of all people had to be kidnapped. If I knew my mate correctly she is a damn good fighter the only way for her to have been kidnapped is to have been by Harmony herself. Jess would never harm her.

If Harmony is alive Lance would have felt her presence within him. Has he been lying this entire time? Was he helping his father? No, impossible otherwise he would have left with Harmony.

"The Silver River territory is in the witch lands." Lance grumbled as he brushed passed me. I growled in his direction as he shut the door into his room.

"I'm going to get answers one way or the other." I shut my door.

LANCE. P.O.V

What the hell was Harmony doing? Laying low my ass, if she were out kidnapping her brother's mate. I growled staring at the back of Charity's head. How dare he insinuate that I did not care for Harmony? I care a hell of a lot to not let her go wandering around another country without me. Excluding the fact that she ran to the states without me, that we would talk about another time.

The cool brass knob of my door slid easily into my palm. I gave a final glare to charity before disappearing inside. The light of the moon streamed in through the blinds scattering light in horizontal positions across the floor. Lying down on the bed I stared at the ceiling feeling warmth flow into the pit of my stomach.

The scent of candy stung my lungs as I though of my sweet mate. 'Harmony' I whispered through our bond. I could feel her stirring beneath the wall we kept between our consciousness. I could feel her yet she kept her thoughts at bay. 'Where are you? Do you have Jessica?' She didn't answer. I growled in frustration trying once more.

I felt our bond snap as if someone were putting pressure on it. My hands gripped the sheets as sharp pain struck my body. Images, thoughts, and sounds started to pound me at once.

The sound of rushing water and the smell of decay assaulted my senses. "I am to conquer him. Not you."

A harsh laughter echoed in my skull. The voice eerily familiar.

"Death is apart of revenge, Harmony. When you signed with me you agreed to it."

The laugh echoed again.

"This woman is your brother's wife is she not?"

"You wicked warlock you deceived me." Harmony growled.

I could feel her anguish through the bond. She held her stomach tightly with her arms held firmly across her extended belly. I could feel the size of her stomach in my hands as if I were holding her.

Her hand gripped a soft hand in hers as she walked away.

She ignored the mumbling of the man as she left the room. "What the hell are you doing?" Jessica's voice whispered. So Harmony and Jessica were together.

"I am trying to restore what is rightfully mine." Harmony whispered.

"You're creating a war Harmony." Harmony shook her head.

"This was not my doing. This is only the beginning." I could feel Harmony stop walking, she turned to Jessica.

"The beginning of what?"

"Of hell." Harmony whispered.

"If we can stop Charles peace will be restored....for awhile."

"Awhile-" Our bond cut off.

I shot straight up in my bed staring at the opposite wall in shock. What the hell was that?

HARMONY P.O.V

"This child is Lance's for sure." I whispered.

"Causing trouble already." Jessica's eyes met mine as I rubbed my stomach.

"What's wrong? "

"If I am not careful my guard falls. Sometimes Lance can get sucked in."

I started down the hall . Jessica followed closely taking in the surroundings of the hidden castle.

"Are we still in the Silver River territory." I shook my head pointing to the window. "We are still in America, near the east coast." The sound of waves crashing against the shore could faintly be heard in the halls. "This place is where the enchanters king resides. The man in the shadows is the prince of the enchanters." We started walking again.

"I have caused much trouble, but not as much as Charles. I was trying to stop him before....this happened."

"From my point of view this is your fault not his."

"My fault, I am merely playing my roll." I lead her down the east hallway away from listening ears. The sounds of servants roaming the halls were every where. They knew and heard everything that went on within the hidden castle.

The stone statues were guards frozen in time from the previous of kings. They were used for information purposes. I slid my hand down the wall feeling the softness of its texture. The wall slid open revealing a three foot rectangular square big enough for us to fit through. I ushered Jessica inside before following her, the wall slid shut behind us. The stairs started downward torches lit along the walls as I took the first step leading us down the tight narrow space.

I treaded carefully not wanting to risk the chance of falling.

"Every kingdom has its secrets, some rooted deeper than others."

I started.

"In the house of the Hartford's lays two books: The Book of wisdom entailing every event known to vampire history. It dates to the founder of the book to the present which it continues to write. The second book is the Book of Family and their own generations."

I grunted the smell of old paper making me nauseous.

"The Hidden Castle has two book of its own: The Book of Generations and The Book of Elders and descendants."

"What does that have to do with-"

"The Liber Lunae is a book known to only the royal family. A book supposedly holding Lunar magic."

"Again what does this have to do with-"

"Elizabeth!" I growled my voice echoing through the hall. "I am only four months pregnant. My child was not growing this fast within my belly before she used her magic again. She took Lance, Charity, and Brian to the Hartford home. The guardian, to defeat him she had to restore her own magic. To fully mate with Charles she had to be given his blood.

His blood held her powers at bay, until she awakened them." The tunnel led out into a spacious library books adorning every wall. "Book of Generations, generation 250 Elizabeth Collinwood."

The room moved itself without us having to walk. "This is wicked." She whispered. I nodded as the room settled. We stood in front of a large glass case incasing the Book of Generations. The first page held Elizabeth's picture.

There in bold letters read second cousin from the king." Back then their husbands was chosen for them to make sure the family line remained strong. To make sure no one had qualms with it they made a love potion. Elizabeth was supposed to wed." "The prince." She finished.

"Yes but it says that her mother led her astray by taking her into the Hartford home." I skipped to the present year. "Elizabeth Collinwood Atlee has now awakened her inner powers awakening her unborn descendant as well." I touched my stomach. " Prince of the Enchanters. Generation 250." I whispered. In the pit of my stomach I could feel my nausea setting in. Just as Elizabeth picture, his picture materialized.
