The Escaping Luna

Revenge

*Luca POV*

My men have looked everywhere and not one of those girls has been seen anywhere near their packs. At least, Summer Springs and Autumn Leaf. We couldn't even manage to get close to Winter River. They have tripled their border patrols, but it has been that way since I took Kaia. General Younger is with my best coven fighters. He was exiled from Winter River for treason. He had tried to take down the Alpha, but his own men had turned him in, causing him to fail. I found him camping on my land, and recruited him for my own agenda. He is stationed outside Alpha Hardin's borders, and says the only odd occurrences that have happened is a lot of in and out traffic. I still can not understand how there haven't been any sightings. It's as if they vanished into thin air. I sat in my misery, trying to come up with the next plan of action. I needed to feed, but I kept putting it off. I just wanted those bitches back where they belong, and come hell or high water, dead or alive, they would be. My mind goes into overdrive and suddenly I jump up from my chair and go to the warrior barracks. "GAVIN! Get your sorry ass out of bed! I am done waiting to find those dreadful girls. In one week we will attack all three packs from which they came. NO ONE lives!" Gavin jumped from his bed and bowed to King Luca with understanding. "Yes sir, I will gather our head officers and meet you in your office to go over your plan." Feeling confident and determined, Luca went to his office. He called for Vacile, and instructed him to bring the "fresh catch" for him to feed on. It was going to be a long night, and he needed all the strength he could get.

I finished my feed, and welcomed my head officers into my office. They all take a seat, and I start explaining my plan of attack.

"Gentleman, thank you for coming so late. I am tired of searching for these girls and I believe they are being harbored in one or more of the packs from which they came. I need all of our allies to gather here at the castle within the next few days. We will train with them for a week, and then will break into teams and attack all three packs. No one is to be left alive, except for the 3 girls. They are essential for my female army. Are we understood?" I looked at all of them, and even though there was concern in their eyes, no one questioned my orders. "Yes your majesty", was repeated by all of them, and they were dismissed. I went and stood in front of my tall windows, looking into the pitch black night. "Soon girls, very soon."

*Alpha Hardin*

Last night's festivities were joyous, to say the least. All of our packs are now intertwined by fate, mate bonds and a common goal. Sitting in the common room, reading the paper and drinking my morning coffee, I got a mindlink from Bryce. "Alpha, there is someone at the gate who says you have summoned her. She said her name was Morgan Lefay." Morgan Lefay is a Fae/Witch hybrid. She is an old friend who is extremely powerful. I called her right away when Kaia returned home. She was abroad, so we would have to wait for her to return stateside to come to us. "Yes, Bryce. Send her to the pack house. I am in the common room." He quickly replied with a "Yes, Alpha," and closed the link. I then mindlink Hershel, my beta, and ask him to gather everyone and come to the common room instead of my office. I think we all need a more casual meeting place to reduce stress. One of our Omega's, Tammy, came in to check if I needed anything, and I instructed her to have breakfast brought here. Nothing extravagant, just donuts, danish, and other pastries, bagels with a tray of salmon, bacon, and ham. Also, another tray with cheeses, spreads, and fruit. Coffee, tea and juices for drinks.

Everyone filed in, and the trolleys with breakfast were brought in. Everyone helped themselves, and I started the meeting.

"We'd received word from our patrols that there had been a lot of movement around our borders. With the strong scent of rotted eggs and rancid meat, our men knew it was Rogues. They are getting brave and I don't doubt that eventually their antics will include the vampires. I am proposing that we move all the packs into one pack until Luca is dealt with and the threat is over." Samuel, Mason, Tomas and Nigel looked at each other, then to me, without speaking another word, Samuel stands and says, "Hardin, I think we can all agree that banding together is a smart idea. Autumn Leaf is the largest of the packs. We have plenty of room to house everyone. We can have trailers brought in or cabins raised. My only concern..." Samuel was cut off by the entrance of Morgan. "Sorry to interrupt this pow wow, but I have been summoned and have information that is vital to your plans." I stood and moved to her, "Thank you for coming, Morgan. We are honored to have you here amongst us. It's been too long my old friend." Morgan gives me a hug and replies "It definitely has Hardin, and if you continue calling me old, I'll turn you into a frog!" She starts laughing and the rest of us join her. "So....Hardin...you have found yourself in 10 kinds of s**t I see. "King" Luca of all people. The hardest part about taking him out will be all of your packs' biggest weaknesses." She looked at the girls, and she didn't have to say anymore about that. "He isn't unstoppable though. Luca has many enemies, and many traitors in his midst that he truly believes hold loyalty to him. I have insiders at the castle as we speak. I was quick to get here because, like you, Luca took something precious to me. My daughter Corrine. If he turns her part vamp as well, she will be one of his most powerful weapons. A tribrid."
