Violet Rose

Vanish

Liza Pov:

"Darling have you seen..." my eyes locked with her. How is this happening?

how is this possible?

"Princess, this is Liza the one I was telling you about?" How the hell is Veronica here and why is Zeke calling her princess?

"Yes pleasure excuse me." I felt like my whole body was frozen. I couldn't process what was happening. I didn't realize Zeke had grabbed my hand.

"Liza?"

I was still looking at the spot Veronica once stood.

"Zeke who was that?"

"That was the princess. She came from over seas. She is going to marry Cole the night of the blood moon to signify the treaty between packs." Now I was definitely worried.

"What does that mean for us?" Zeke and I had just started dating in his eyes and he hasn't said I love you yet but in my eyes and in Lilly's he was ours forever. Our wolves have been our only road block since I have kept my wall up. Once our wolves connect he will know it's me and the moon goddess didn't give me a road map of rules but I felt as though that might be breaking it. For this reason I think Zeke is holding back.

"Zeke I need to take a walk I will catch up later." He nodded and I headed outside down to our spot by the pond in the field of roses. I sat down by the bank and cried into the water.

"SELENE!"

"Please Selene I need you. If there ever was a time for your guidance let it be now."

I felt a light breeze and looked up as butterflies started flying in sync and then stoping just over the bank on some rocks. As I stood up that's when I heard her.

"My child."

She appeared just as the last butterfly landed and headed towards me.

"I assume you have been watching and you've seen what's going on? Please help me!"

Selene sighed before she confirmed "I didn't feel an unbalance in the world. Veronica was never supposed to intrude on your quest however the quest still remains."

"Yes, but how can I continue when she shows up last minute ready to destroy everything in a mere second. On top of that what if she Outs me?"

I wasn't expecting Selene to smile at a time like this. "You did not come all this way to give up. Liam and violet have mated and forgiven eachother, and I told you that you cannot reveal yourself to gain their love. However if she were to reveal you than that is something you just can't control. She can't see Liza since she is another soul in a host she only sees who you truly are. That is my gift to you."

Selene cupped my cheek and started walking away. "I don't understand how is that a gift?"

She disappeared before answering.

"Don't you see? She gave you a loop hole! If Veronica outs us then it doesn't go against the moon goddesses wishes."

It all started to make sense. Lilly was right the moon goddess did give me a fighting chance. Knowing that I didn't need to worry about her anymore I headed back to begin my plan.

Zekes POV:

Breakfast was weird for some reason and ever since this morning Liza has been avoiding me. I was having a hard time focusing on my alpha duties and the recent rogue attacks because of everything going on. At first glance she is everything I could imagine, but for some reason she won't let us fully connect and it's times like this that I truly miss my mate.

What if I never truly feel whole again?

Maybe Liza doesn't feel the way I feel about her? I need to get these answers soon for my sanity and for the good of my pack. I was lost in a daze when Cole came barging in my office.

"What do I owe the pleasure my king?"

"How bad are the rogue attacks?"

I was confused by his question usually we don't questions each others choices to keep our peace.

"There hasn't been one here in awhile and it looks like the are backing off our neighboring packs as well why?"

"So would you say we need a more support or we might be able to manage on our own?"

Cole was starting to worry me" well technically we aren't alone we have the best warriors in the county and on top of that other alliances. Although it never hurts to have more support. Why are you being funny?"

Cole took a seat infront of me and sighed"the Princess renegotiated her terms."

"Ok? So what does she want now?"

Cole picked his head up and looked at me.

"She is requiring that she marries the both of us." I was waiting for the just kidding but it never came.

"The Princess never took me as being power hungry. What if we decline?"

Cole began rubbing his temple "then the deals off and she goes back home. I really should have seen this coming why have one king when you can have two? Listen I know what I said about Liza and you are my family forever. I also am a man of my word so if you want to choose Liza then I will support that choice and we will build more alliances at home."

This is not what I needed today. I love Liza I know I do but I also must do what right for my pack and protect her.

"Can I think about it?"

Cole sighed and nodded before standing up and heading to the door. Not before he swiped a whole bottle of brandy and brought it to his lips. I rolled my eyes at him.

"What? It's been one hell of a day." He shrugged before opening the door and leaving.

I think I spent the next hour staring at paper work and not touching it. I needed some fresh air. I headed out of my office and down to the balcony where I saw my beautiful Liza curled up reading Cedric a book.

I sat quietly until she finished the story.

"Alright love but head up and shower it's time for bed."

I watched as Cedric cried out in protest but eventually gave up in defeat. He kissed Lizas cheek and then gave me a hug before running inside.

"You really are great with the kids you know that?"

She smiled as she stood up and nestled into the spot next to me.

"A mother without a baby." Her voice was so beautiful. I realized the. That it didn't matter If our wolves haven't met yet. If her wolf was anything like her we would get along perfectly. There is something

About her that just draws me to her.

I pulled her closer and just took in her scent as we sat in the comfortable silence.

We stayed like this for what didn't seem like long enough when my phone rang.

"What a lovely night to stargaze with your mate don't you think?"

"Who is this?" The man on the other side laughed.

"It's not who I am it's what I am. Now the real question is what would you do to protect your little child? Say when was the last time you've seen Colton? Hmmm such a bummer. Until next time" then the phone clicked. I felt my face go pale and I stood up and ran to Coltons room. He wasn't in there. I mind linked the warriors and Cole and told them about the phone call.

The house went into a panic and all I could hear was Cole yelling orders "somebody find my son!"

Liza was gathering the women and children in one room so they were out of the way and we began sweeping our territory from top to bottom. I even called our old friend Taly to see if maybe her daughter had seen him. But to no avail and once the news hit her I could hear her crying on the phone. I told taly to bring her here with Liza and if anything comes up l keep her informed.

Hours the searched.

It was like my son just vanished.
