Dewald pov.

I felt weak, my body heavy. My movements opening my like saw only darkness. That's when I felt some kind of material around my face. . Using my other sense I could heathe faint purr of aengine. Everything seemed hazy to focubecause I thought. Our kind were immune to most drugs but the world has changed and science has made some interesting discoveries regarding our kind at least by the ones that know about our existence. I felt the haze lift a little something my skin. Someone just injected me with something! But before my body could protest with the panic in my mind. Everything

went black I slipped back into a dreamless drug induced sleep.

Meanwhile in Midnight Moon Hunter was pacing in his room as he waited for the call to connect. The phone was on it's 5th ring when the person picked up. "Hey Hunter, sorry was kinda busy..." Hunter closed his eyes before cutting of his friend of with four urgent words. "I need your help." The was some shuffling and a bang on the other end. "What happened?" Alex asked trying to sound calm but failing miserably. He knew Hunter well enough and he sounded vulnerable,and no alpha wanted to in front of another. And if they do then shit has hit the fan in a very bad way. "They took him my mate, Dewald is gone there is no scent and the link isn't much good because his not even in the territory anymore because we checked everywhere." He spoke monotonously. Alex immediately started up his laptop. Knowing exactly how to help and left questions and heartfelt words for later. Now they needed action and all the intel he could give Hunter.

Alex had thankfully sorted on all the useful information Hunter could use. Tiberius was on a mission and thus couldn't be reached. But as his closest protégé next to Hunter he had access to everything at least the cases they were working on now. And as a ally in Pack Law they looked out for their own. Hunter needed everything they had on the witches. His father was doing everything he could as current Alpha. But his training and knowledge told the young alpha he could do more. So he refused to just wait around for search and rescue to sniff out something. When he could be out there himself. It was only a few minutes when the files was sent to his laptop and he was going through everything in his room. "Fuck a now we're getting somewhere." Hunter's fingers tapped away without a beat.

Xavier slammed the phone down signing when he heard it break...again. "I'll go get a new one." Chase spoke up sheepishly leaving the office. "The Alliance turning a blind eye I presume?" Michael questioned without looking up from his phone while tapping away rapidly. If his face was not so serious in concentration you would think he was playing a game or was on the many social applications the youths seems to live on. "Yes they refuse to act without actual evidence. Vampires do not associate with witches. And all the alliance treaty crap." Signing Xavier stood up folding his arms over his chest. The black shirt stretching with the effort. "Well I tried... now I'm just going to have to do things my way." Xavier replied with a surprisingly calm voice. At that Michael did look up, a sinister grin on his face. "What did you have in mind?" His face mirroring the Alphas as he waited for his answer. "What do you say we brake some rules?" Xavier gave a toothy canine grin his eyes darkening showing his wolf was on the surface.

Hunter watched as the data downloaded on his phone. After it was finished he opened up the app on his phone and used the information to create a map marked with various activities regarding the Alfea witches. He could make out a pattern. And saw that all the sightings and attacks were done following specific goals and were far from random violence. Like they were following a plan from a master mind. He logged of and close his laptop and left his room throwing on his leather jacket as he left. Things where looking up, but he had to hurry and go see an old friend.

Speeding down the main road Hunter was surprised seeing his dad's convoy standing in the middle of the road. He reluctantly slowed to a stop. Rolling down his window his dad approached removing his black police aviators. "Hey son where are you heading in such a hurry?" Hunter shrugged. "Meeting up with someone dad now can you.." Xavier held up his hand cutting him off. "Open up and lets go then son." Hunter gave him a suspicious look making Xavier raise a black brow. "I have a feeling we're both meeting the same person." He concluded holding his sons stare. The doors of Hunter's black Viper opened and Xavier got in. The SUVs parted so they could drive through then followed the black car that sped down the main road with tyres screeching.

"Mistress we have the Seal in the proper location. The others are waiting your orders." The tall dark men in a formal black suite waited head bowed as the figure on turned the chair to face him. But the voice that spoke was not female but male... At the look of surprise on his face the young man chuckled. "Oh dear Nathaniel it is I, this he gestured at himself is just a temporary upgrade." Nathaniel nodded slowly as he approached narrowing his eyes he tilted his head regarding the young man. "A shifter, wolf..." He stated rather than asked. "Yes it is, no need to worry as I said its only temporary and a means to an end." The striking green eyed young men smiled cockily at the male witch. A gesture that could melt the hearts of young woman or even men but there was no mistaking the darkness radiating from within.

The warehouse situated downtown was very well hidden in the darkness with no lights nearby. On the outside it looked completely abandoned but they knew better. The shifters exited their vehicles calmly accessing their environment. Four approached the warehouse as the others remained.

Once inside they entered a hidden door that appeared in the concrete wall. Finding themselves in an elevator they ascended to the last floor underground. From the outside it looked like a abandoned warehouse. But the warehouse was just an cover for real structure underground. A lair of very powerful witch named Silas. He was one of the originals that came from Asgard. He was not apart of any Coven. And when one was so powerful they probably didn't have to join one. Only a few knew of his whereabouts. Those he considered friends or allies.

As soon as they entered the main chamber of his living quarters. Silas spoke from his red leather couch. "Xavier my friend I have been expecting you..." He greeted them without taking his eyes from the movie his been watching with the volume down low. Facing the new arrivals he wore a pleasant smile. "Its been a while Si, Xavier grinned back while Michael nodded once. "It has, but something tells me this visit is not about you missing me right?" Xavier inclined his head. "Nope." Silas eyes moved from the alpha and beta to Hunter. "Oh my look who it is." He just about leaped from the couch. But as always with the grace of classical dancer. While he looked masculine Silas had this refined way he carried himself some would just call him very British but in some case like now people may find his antics feminine. But the shifters hardly batted an eyelash at his actions seemingly expecting it while wearing amused expressions.

"Hey Uncle Silas, Hunter was crushed in a hug by the man that looked around the same age he did. But they knew Silas was older by a lot even older then his dad. One of his Asgaurdian trades or abilities. Silas loved the young men and his dad like they were his own. Michael too although they pretended to hate each other. "Its true..." Silas trailed looking into Hunter's eyes. He shivered as if cold. Pulling away he took the young alphas hands. "You have found him but he his lost for the moment... Mm mm She is right to fear this bond. Great power will come from your union." Xavier and Michael looked surprised but quickly recovered. "Si, I forgot how insightful you are. Yes Hunter has found his mate in Michael's son. And it seems you know the rest. So what we came for was a locator spell from someone we trusted." Silas listened to everything with a deep frown before speaking. "I sense all sorts of energy signatures all the time some good and evil. And most are not of any concern but I've felt a dark power laying in wait. Its almost like its hiding for now." They all seemed to take in what Silas had said. And they began to realize that more powerful forces were at play if they showed up on Silas's radar.
