“l just feel weird. Have you texted Ashlyn?” I asked him. Derek shifted to pull his phone out and called her. There was no answer. It just kept ringing.
I was trying not to panic. She could just be busy.
“She’ll call back in a minute, I’m sure.” Derek said, but even I could tell that he was on edge.
We waited 10 long minutes until Derek tried her again. This time, her phone was off. We knew it wasn’t dead.
“Call lan.” I told him, standing up from the bed to put James down. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and called Alex.
The phone rang until it went to his voice mail.
“Anything?” I asked Derek.
“His phone is just ringing.” He answered. And I could see that he was just as worried as I was.
“I’m going to call Sage and see if she can get there.
Then I’ll call my father. He can watch James.” I told him, looking through my contacts for Sage’s number. She picked up after the first ring.
“Mason, what’s wrong?”
“Ashlyn went to get Brad from Blue Crescent and now we can’t get a hold of her, lan or Alex.” I rushed out. I started to pace the room.
“Pull over.” I heard Sage yell.
“Sage, where are you?” I asked her.
“We are on our way back. I’ll portal in and see if I can find her. There is no way that she would ever leave James.” She said, panicked.
“Take Brandon and Liam with you. And Matt if he is there. It may be a trap. Call me when you get there.” I told her before I hung up. I found my father’s contact and called him.
“Dad, I need you here now. Ashlyn is missing.” I rushed out when he answered.
“Mason, what is going on?” He asked.
“Dad, I don’t know, but I need you to watch James. And we are also going to need bottles and formula for him. Ashlyn has been br*eastfeeding him.” I told him.
“I’ll be right there.” He said before hanging up. Sage called me back a few minutes later, and Derek and I headed into the living room. We didn’t need to wake up James.
“Mason, it’s a ghost town.” Sage said when I answered the phone. I had it on speaker, so Derek could hear as well.
“What do you mean?” I asked her.
“There’s no one around,” Brandon answered.
“Have you gone into the pack house?” Derek asked.
“No, we just got here. I can smell a rogue.” Brandon told us.
“That could be Brad. Ashlyn said that his connection with the pack is now broken. Following the scent. We are just waiting for dad and then we will be there.” I told them.
“Text me and “I’ll open a portal. Or better yet, call Nathan. We may need his help.” Sage said before ending the call. I immediately called Nathan and thank the goddess, he answered.
“Mason, what’s up?” He answered.
“Nathan, we need you here. Ashlyn went to Blue Crescent and we haven’t heard from her since she left. Sage, Brandon and Liam are there now and it’s suspicious. We also can’t get a hold of the Alpha or Beta, “I told him. My worry was growing by the second, and Thor was trying to shift.
“Okay, I’ve only been to the pack offices, if you can meet me there.” Nathan said, and I let out a breath.
“Derek and I will meet you there as soon as my father arrives to watch over James,” I told him.
“Give me 10 minutes and I’ll be there waiting.” Nathan said before he hung up.
“Mason, go get Nathan, I’ll wait for your dad.” Derek told me. I rushed into our room to get changed and to check on James. I was grateful that he was still asleep.
Derek was watching over James when I came out of the closet. He grabbed my neck and crushed his l!ps to mine, pulling me flush to his chest. He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.
“We will find her.” He whispered, and I nodded.
I was trying to stay positive, but I couldn’t feel her through our bond. She was either blocking us or she was sleeping. But I didn’t know why she would be sleeping.
When I exited the elevator and entered the foyer, my father was waiting.
“Dad.” I greeted him.
“Mason, where is James?” He asked me.
“Derek is with him. I know this isn’t the meeting I was hoping for, but there’s nothing we can do about it now. I need to go get Nathan, and then we are going to go find Ashlyn.” I told him.
“I have one of my assistants picking up some bottles and formula for James. I’ll keep him safe, son.” My father said before he entered the elevator to our apartment.
I rushed out of the pack house to the garage. Driving to the pack offices should only be about 10 minutes, but it felt like hours. I was anxious to get to Ashlyn. I needed to make sure she was safe.
Nathan was waiting outside when I pulled up. He hopped in the passenger seat and I took off. Sage called when we were heading back and I answered.
“Sage, what have you found? l just picked up Nathan. We should be there in about 10 minutes.” I told her over the speaker in my car.
“We found Brad. He left Ashlyn at the pack house before he headed to his house. He hasn’t seen her since. And he also hasn’t seen anyone else. It’s like everyone just vanished.” Sage told us.
“Did you inspect the pack house?” l asked her.
“We have, and we haven’t found anyone. Brandon and Liam also can’t pick up Ashlyn’s scent. It’s like she was never there.” Sage said.
“I know she’s alive, but I can’t feel her emotions through the bond.” I told Sage.
“Sage, have you reached out, using your magic?” Nathan asked his sister.
“I can feel her, but I have no idea where she is. I’ve tried a location spell, but something is blocking her. I fear whoever has her locked her in a lead room.” She said, panicked.
“Lead?” l asked.
“Lead is the only thing that can block out a person’s magic besides a spell. Lead makes sense. There is no one as powerful as Ashlyn. And she killed the only one that could match her magic.” Nathan explained.
“This means they are receiving help from someone else in the magic kingdom. Lead is not a well-known weakness of witches. Only higher ups know unless someone opened their mouths.” Sage explained as I pulled up to the front of the pack house. Derek was outside, waiting. I parked the car.
“Sage, we are with Derek. We will be there in 5 minutes.” I told her before l ended the call and hopped out.
“ls James okay?” l asked Derek. He was already standing by my door.
“He’s still sleeping and your father is there with him. I called my father before I left and he should be here shortly” Derek told me.
“Good,” I told him. I explained everything that we learned to Derek before Nathan opened a portal and we all stepped through.
The three of us were now standing in front of the Blue Moon pack house, and it was eerily quiet. Sage, Brandon, Liam, and Brad rushed over to us. Sage wrapped her brother in a hug.
“Brad, it’s good to see you alive.” I told him.
“Thanks. Congrats on your son.” He said.
“You’ll meet him soon enough, but right now, we need to figure out where Ashlyn is.” I told him and he nodded.
“This place is like a ghost town,” Derek said, looking around.
“If someone was going to attack, where would the civilians go?” I asked Brad.
