Donovan howled in my head and before I could stop him, he shifted and pulled me out of the wheelchair. His back legs don’t work any etter than my legs, but he doesn’t care. He starts dragging us using his front legs. ‘Our pup needs us!’ “Donovan,” Anders puts his hand on my wolf’s shoulder, “What is it, what happened?”
I mindlink him to tell him what Cara told me. He shouts orders to send people to go get Rik before turning back to me. “Donovan, we’ll get her. We won’t let them have her.”
Alpha Liam steps up, “Have who? Did someone take Cara?”
Anders turns to Liam, “Yes. Cara mindlinked Clint. Someone captured Rik and Cara traded places with him. He is apparently unconscious and she has been taken away.”
He turns back to me, “Donovan, give Clint back control. I promise you, my word as an Alpha, we will get your daughter back.”
Donovan reluctantly gives me control and I shift back. Anders shouts for someone to bring my wheelchair and he and Liam lift me back into it. Someone brings me a towel and lays it across my lap.
“We need a plan. Let’s get back to the packhouse and make one. We captured some wolves, we’ll interrogate them and see what they know.
I get in my van, putting on a spare set of clothes. When I arrive back at the packhouse, they are just bringing Alpha Rik in.
Rik
I’m so pissed at myself for getting captured. I know better, but I fell right into the trap.
I’m not surprised when Cara, or should I say Artemis, shows up, but I am shocked at how large she is. I hadn’t realized it when I saw her in the woods. before training. She is definitely the size of an alpha wolf. Her beautiful brown fur is the same color as Cara’s hair.
I watch as she assesses the situation, taking in all of the rogues surrounding her. I can’t help but feel pride when she takes one out just for getting too close to her. She’s amazing to watch in action..
The leader gets angry when she kills one of his wolves but his entire demeanor changes as she shifts into her human form, naked for all of them to see. I can’t help the snarl that bursts from my mouth, as I watch the wolves literally licking their lips as they stare at what’s mine.
Thank the goddess for small favors, the leader gives her a shirt to put on. I can see her nose twitch when she gets a whiff of it. Yeah, rogues stink.
I’m shocked when the wolfsbane does not affect her. For a second I was terrified but her anger was glorious. Then when she pushed her aura out. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen or felt before. As an Alpha, I can feel the aura of other alphas, but I’m not affected. This? This was something else. I’m not sure if I felt the need to submit because Kai is out cold or if her power is just that strong. I watch the other wolves whining and writhing on the ground. “That’s my girl. Kick ass!’
I don’t even care about the knife he digs into my throat. If only one of us is going to survive this, it’s going to be her. But she drops her aura when he threatens me. Then she calls him the Banished Beta, Eli Gunner. I know that name, but I can’t recall where or why.
I have to admit, she’s good at getting under his skin. And I agree with her, he doesn’t smell like an Alpha, but I can’t smell more than the rogue on him without
Kai.
When he says my role in this is over, I’m ready to be killed. After watching her in action, I know that once I’m gone, Cara will survive. I’m sad that she’ll never know that I was her mate, but she will live and maybe she and Liam will end up together. He would be good to her, although the thought of her with anyone else makes me sick.
But then he says he wants to make a deal, me for her. I can’t help myself, I have to jump in and try to order her to stand down. I know it won’t work, but it’s the only choice I have, because I know her. I know her family, I know their history. They will give everything for the ones they protect. And I don’t know if I can live with myself if she dies for me.
I always had respect for the Nelson family, for what they did for mine. But right here, right now, I also realize the toll that it has taken on my parents. To live with the guilt that someone gave their life for you? I don’t know that I’m strong enough to live with that. I don’t want to live without her, and I know Kai won’t either. She may not know yet that I’m her mate, but we know. And now that I know that she’s meant to be mine? There could never be another to take her place.
I ignore the Beta’s taunting me about being stupid. I need Cara to look at me, to see that I don’t want her to do this. I don’t want her to take my place.
When she finally looks at me, I beg her with my eyes to not do this. I shake my head as much as I can. But I can see the resolve in her eyes, she ignores my request and agrees to his demand. I scream at her to stop. But before I can say any more, I feel the needle in my neck and everything goes black.

What did you think of Clint’s perspective?
Eli covers my head with a hood, so I can’t see where we are going. It’s enough for me to breathe and also to see bits of light here and there, but nothing specific. We walk for most of the night before we get to a group of cars. “Where are you taking me?” It’s not the first time I’ve asked, and I’m met with the same silence I received every other time. Eli hasn’t said a word to me since we left.
We get to a large SUV, he takes the hood off, opens a bottle of water and offers it to me. Since it wasn’t open before he offered it, I open my mouth and let him pour it in. I can go a long time without water but if he’s offering, I’ll take what I can get when I can get it.
When I’m done, he puts silver shackles on my ankles, puts the hood back on, then shoves me into the back of the SUV, sliding the cargo cover over me. Now, no one can see me from the outside and what little I could see out of the bag over my head is covered.
I take this opportunity to mindlink my dad. “Dad, can you hear me?”
“CARA! Cara, are you alright, where are you?”
“Dad. I’m okay. We’ve been walking all night. I think we continued west, but I’m not totally sure. My head has been covered.”
“We have trackers out searching for you right now. They picked up the trail. where we found Rik.”
“Is he okay?”
“Yes. He has come back around. The wolfsbane is still in his system, but he ist recovering slowly. Honey, where are you?”
“I don’t really know. There were some cars parked in a clearing. That is where I am now. I’m in the back of a black or dark colored SUV, it has four doors and a hatchback. I didn’t see a road and I can’t see anything now because they put at cargo cover over me.”
“Do you know what they want? Rik said it’s Eli Gunner?”
“Yes, it’s Eli. He told us he is an Alpha now, but when I said he didn’t smell like one, he said he had a plan. I’m not sure what that means and he hasn’t said anything else about it.”
“We’re coming for you honey. Stay strong, do whatever you have to do to survive. You’re a fighter, you’re a Guardian and you’re my daughter!”

“You’ve trained me well dad. I’ll be putting all that training to good use now. We’ve started moving. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to contact you, but I will when I can. I love you dad.”
“I love you sweetheart. Stay strong!”
The mindlink cut out. I wanted to stay awake and try to figure out where we were going, but the long night and the sound of tires on the road lulled me to sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke, I could hear voices up front talking about where to stop. “Hey, I need to pee.’
It was quiet for a minute. Then an unfamiliar voice said, “You’ll have to hold it.”
“For how long? It’s been hours and I can only hold it for so long.” I replied, hoping we would stop and maybe I could see something to figure out where I was. It was quiet again, then that same voice replied, “We’ll stop in the next 30 minutes. Hold it for now.
I’m guessing he’s mindlinking Eli, which means he’s not in this car. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. After a while, I feel the car slow down and turn right. We immediately begin bouncing around like we’re on an unpaved road, or possibly just driving into a forest somewhere. The jolts are making my already aching shoulders hurt even more, but I stay quiet.
We finally stop and the back hatch opens. The cargo cover is removed and I can see light, but not much more. “Get out”.
