"So where are the boys?" I question, realizing how empty it is down here.
                          
"Jayden had to go do some pack stuff with Aiden." Lily sighs sadly, a small pout on her face. Well that explains it. They've had a lot of pack business the past couple days, I wonder what it's all about?
                          
"Seth went with Tristan to meet the four and try and figure out where the castle could be. They left in the middle of the night because of the sun." Aimee surprises me, and anger quickly builds up. I know it shows on my face when Aimee gets a surprised look.
                          
"Why didn't they tell me?" This is something I need to be told of, I should be doing this as well, I'm the goddamn alpha! "Why didn't Lily go?"
                          
"They didn't tell me." A small frown is on her face, telling me this is bothering her as well. Why wouldn't they tell-
                          
"Oh shit, Aimee, how did you know they were leaving?" My eyes widen in panic and I jump out of my seat, pacing back and forth.
                          
"I-I was woken up when I heard him get out of bed, when he told me what he was doing I went back to sleep. Why?" 
                          
"Was Seth acting weird when he left?" Her eyebrows furrow for a moment, clearly thinking, before slowly nodding her head.
                          
"Yeah, I guess, he seemed distant and I didn't even get a kiss but I thought he was just tired." My eyes quickly move to Lily, immediately seeing the expression on her face. 
                          
"Do you think-"
                          
"Yeah." I answer before she even finishes her question, and we are both in action, quickly running out of the kitchen. 
                          
"Babe!" Mike stops me in my tracks, looking confused. I don't have time for this. 
                          
"I promise I will explain it all after, but we need to go, this is important!" I quickly pull myself out of his grip, following Lily up the stairs. 
                          
"I'll look through Tristan's room, you get Seth's. We will have to fly." I nod and dart into Seth's room, looking for anything out of place. Whoever this evil is, is no longer staying hidden. I'm positive that they are controlling the two boys right now. The kinds of knowledge they have can put everyone in danger. Not to mention their powers. 
                          
"What?" My eyes stop at the stone by the floor of the bed. It's dark and shining. This definitely isn't his. Do I pick it up?
                          
"Why are you going through our stuff!" Aimee growls slightly. 
                          
"He isn't safe." Those three words hit her hard and I see panic cross her face as she races over to me. 
                          
"Why? Is he okay, Mia what's going on?" 
                          
"What's that and when did it get here?" I point to the crystal lying on the floor. "Don't touch it!" I quickly pull her back when she moves to retrieve it from the floor. 
                          
"What is it?" She questions. 
                          
"I don't know, something dark, probab-" Lily's high pitched scream makes my heart drop and I sprint out of the room. "Lily!" Terror grips my chest and I have to hold tears back when I don't see Lily. Just an open window and blood on the windowsill. Fresh. "No, no, no!" I scream, my voice breaking as my legs give out. 
                          
"Mia!" Aimee kneels down in front of me, grabbing my hands. "It'll be okay, we can find them." Her voice is calm, hiding her panic. 
                          
"What if I can't find them? I don't know what to do? I can't do this alone! For all I know they could be being tortured or-"
                          
"Your necklace!" She gasps, cutting if my panicked rant. I look down, but let out a small scream in pain, hands flying to my stomach. I sob when I feel another sharp pain. "MIKE!" She screams so loudly, it hurts my ears. 
                          
"What's wrong?" I sob, knowing these pains shouldn't happen. Not even in labour, this is an entirely different pain. 
                          
"I don't know, let me see your stomach." She softly moves my hand and lifts up my shirt. "MIKE! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" She screams, face white in horror as she quickly drops my shirt, just as I double over in pain again. 
                          
"What is it? Are my pups okay?" I've known about my pups for a week, I can't lose them!
                          
"You gotta get up, let me help." She avoids my question helping me up as Mike rushes in, pulling me into his arms. 
                          
"Babe? Babe! What happened?" He growls at Aimee.
                          
"Gabriella, the crystal will call her!" I motion to the necklace, quickly putting my hands back on my stomach, whimpering in pain. 
                          
"It's the crystal, you need to get it off of you!" Aimee gasps. My necklace?
                          
"Babe, what's going on?" Mike sounds close to tears.
                          
"We need to pack doctor, and that necklace needs to go away, I think it's hurting her. It keeps glowing every time she's hit with pain." Mike gently picks me up bridal style, holding me to his chest.
                          
"You three will be okay, don't worry babe, I'll mindlink your brothers and the pack doctor." I watch Aimee carefully untie the necklace from around my neck tossing it to the other side of the room. The stabbing pain becomes less almost immediately. I keep my eyes shut tight, trying to keep calm. Panic won't help anything right now. I have to breathe and maybe I can try and heal. If it's something wrong with my pups, I know for sure I could heal them, but if it's me, I can't. I would rather it be something with me, I don't want anything to happen to my pups.
                          
"Mia!" The shouting of my name causes my eyes to shoot open. I realize I'm curled up on a bed, Mike pacing back and forth next to the bed. Then Aimee is sitting on the floor, nervously biting her nails. "What's going on?" Aiden questions, Jayden right behind them as they stand next to the bed.
                          
"Let me see her!" Someone, I assume the pack doctor, pushes through everyone. "What's wrong, tell me what happened Mia?"
                          
"I don't know, just tell me if my pups are okay!" So much for not panicking, I just wanna cry and scream. Besides, none of my pack members are even here! My best fucking friends aren't even here.
                          
"You're pregnant?" His eyes widen and he quickly moves his hands to the hem of my shirt, moving it up just enough to show my stomach, earning a slight growl from Mike. But I hear a chorus of gasps and an 'oh shit!' from Jayden.
                          
"Tell me what's wrong!" I shout, my heart beating erratically, a lump forming in my throat. My hands are shaking and my breaths are short. Mike grabs both of my hands and places his forehead against mine.
                          
"It's alright, everything will be alright, don't panic." He says quietly, one tear falling down his cheek. "It'll be alright."
