Chapter Fifty-Seven

CASPIAN POV

Why the hell is my damn uncle here, he was banished from the pack years ago and we thought he was dead. Dodging away from the wolf coming at me I take a chance to leap at my uncle, he is an extremely skilled warrior and I know that he can take me down without breaking a sweat. As expected, he manoeuvres his body out the way smoothly as though I am nothing but a bug. I feel teeth latch onto my hind leg making me falter, turning around I go for the wolf's throat but he lets me go before I have even fully turned my head and is dashing off into the forest, shortly followed by my uncle.

Getting my injured leg back underneath me, I give chase when I hear paws thundering towards me, glancing behind me, I see a wolf I recognise from my last visit with the pack. Coming up alongside me they let me take the lead and flank me. With my uncle and the other wolf coming into view they pick up on whom I am chasing and pick up speed and change course to help capture them, them knowing the surrounding area better than I do.

The sound of more wolves approaching have me on alert but when I catch glimpse of them heading after the two in front, I pay them no more mind.

I don't know how long we give chase, only that the day is slowly creeping up on me as exhaustion comes over me, my pants heavy and my movements becoming slightly sluggish from the unknown terrain I have been travelling, skirting around another tree I skid to a stop. My uncle and the other wolf have completely vanished into thin air, they were right in front of me. Sniffing the air I try to pick up their scents but they too have completely disappeared scouring the area I can only see the wolves who followed me to chase them down. Shifting back into my human form, the wolf I recognise bounds up to me before shifting.

"Where the hell did they go?" he snarls.

"I have no idea. But they were part of the kidnapping and they are after a boy."

"Shit. What boy? We need to get back, they could have planned this as a distraction." I am a goddamn alpha and I am clueless, how did I not think about this being a distraction, they didn't really attack me and they ran off and I've brought a ton of wolves along with me. Shifting back, I swiftly take the lead heading back towards the pack, my uncle and the unknown wolf will have to be a later problem.

Charging across the boundary line we move as a unit to the packhouse, where the luna is pacing up and down on the front porch.

"Caspian. I'm so glad you are okay. What is going on?" searching around for something to put on to be respectable in front of the luna, a pair of shorts are thrust in my face, swiftly shifting I tug them on.

"There was a wolf from this pack and a rogue wolf talking to each other by the forest line, they discussed Jenni and about kidnapping another boy."

"Who?"

"I don't know they didn't say his name."

"Yos, you and five other warriors take up the perimeter around the pups. They are all with Chelsea out the back. I will get her to check that all pups are accounted for. Caspian do you know who it was from our pack?" shaking my head, Yos, is soon to reply.

"It was Davies, Luna. I have sent ten warriors to join the border patrol and have sent five to meet me out the back." He says before sprinting off to the backyard.

"I don't understand what is happening." Luna Sarah mutters staring up at the sky, her eyes suddenly glazing over, probably talking to Chelsea. She stubbles slightly with a gasp before tripping down the porch, steadying her by her elbow I follow as she aimlessly stubbles away from the pack house.

"Luna. Are you okay?"

"They found her Caspian. She is in a bad way, I need to get to-" tears spring from her eyes.

"Come on Luna. Let's go together."

The tension when we arrive is so thick that I feel suffocated as the doctors and nurses wait outside for the arrival of Jenni.

"Luna, please sit down." a small petite woman tries to coax the Luna but fails as she picks up her pace as she paces.

"Doctor Reece, make sure we have everything stocked in surgery and get the juniors to set up in the check-up rooms in case anyone else is injured. From what I understand Cayden is coming back with Samuel, Jenni, Alpha and the young wolf Jet. No one must approach the Alpha." The luna swivels so fast on the spot at the comment she nearly falls flat on her arse, luckily the petite woman manages to steady her.

"What is wrong with my mate?" she snarls, the doctor's eyes widen and sheepishly turns to face the luna keeping his eyes downcast.

"Luna. Godric has taken control and is very protective over Jenni from what I understand. At one point he wouldn't even let Sam approach her. Please be aware that we may need to restrain him if he doesn't allow us to treat Jenni, her life is on the line." A growl rips out of me shocking the hell not only out of me but them. Blaze starts snapping and snarling in my head and I feel fur spread up my arms as he tries to force a shift.

"Caspian?" Luna Sarah cautiously calls.

"What do you mean life on the line? How injured is she?" I growl out, my aurora slipping from me forcing everyone apart from the luna to the ground.

"Caspian you need to calm down. They won't be able to treat anyone if you keep this up." Staring down at the medical staff I see them covered in beads of sweat, turning on my heel I let the shift take me and head out into the forest, I need to let them do their job right now and me being there will not help in the slightest. Finding my uncle and this Davies is something I can do and with the thought of vengeance on those who hurt her Blaze happily obliges and stops forcing control of our body, more than happy to hunt.
