Our Lycan Protectors

CHAPTER 2

ALPHA JACK POV.

“I DONT’ CARE WHAT IT TAKES!... FIND THEM!” I growl at my pack warriors. The warrior wolves visibly flinch before running off back into the forest. It’s been a couple of hours since the rogues crossed my borders and onto my lands to kidnap my girls and nearly killed my mate. If it were not for Sam’s interference, they would have taken our son too. The pack doctors managed to stop her internal bleeding as well as patch up her lung that was punctured by one of her broken ribs, but what doctors are most concerned about at the moment was the damage to her spine. They said that she’ll pull through but there is a chance that she would not be able to walk again.

I growl out in frustration and rub a shaking hand over my face. My body is shaking in fear for my girls that were taken and even more in fury for whomever did this. I will personally kill them slowly and painfully before ripping out their spines through their throats. I have already sent word to our closest pack neighbors to alert them of the kidnapping and to my added horror, their lands have also been invaded about the same time and their young ones taken when a similar diversion was executed to draw away the majority of the pack from their intended targets.

Filled with renewed fury and struggling to keep my wolf at bay, I shift and charge back into the forest to search with my pack warriors, determined to pick up a hint to a new lead. ‘Please Moon Goddess.’ I silently pray as I feel my fear and worry claw at my heart, threatening to tear it apart. ‘Please keep my girls safe.’

We, and I mean me and the other alphas of the neighboring packs with our warriors, combined in the search of our kidnapped pups over the next two weeks, but we haven’t managed to find them. We followed numerous leads and scents, but they all lead to nothing. I just could not understand what rogues would want with alpha pups. Usually, rogues would just kill the young in order to prevent the bloodline from continuing to run the pack and weaken them so that they can be easily overtaken but never before has anything like this happened before. What could they possibly want to do with them and that thought of not knowing is what scared me the most.

By the end of those two weeks, we were practically at each other’s throats. The feeling of hopelessness and pain of the loss of our missing pups were starting to weigh on every one of us. We had no way of knowing if our pups were alright or even still alive, but I wasn’t going to give up. No matter how long it took, I am going to find my girls, even if it was the only and last thing I did for the rest of my life.

LUNA SAMANTHA POV.

Pain. That was the first thing that I became aware of. The second was the numbness in my lower body. I groan as I try to move to make myself more comfortable but just as suddenly a cry escapes my throat as a pain shoots through my back and the heart monitor next to my bed jumps in beeps in tune to my heart rate.

“Sam?” I barely register the voice of my mate through my heavy panting as I tried to breathe through the pain, but it was the tingles that erupted in my hand that flowed up my arm that caught my attention and dulled the pain a little.

“Sam.” I hear him call again and I open my eyes and blink against the brightness in the room before focusing on the dark green eyes of my mate. “J-Jack.” I croak out. My throat felt so dry and sore. Jack’s face quickly disappears from above me before coming back holding a glass of water with a straw. “Here, take a sip.” He says, sliding one hand under my head to help me and I comply automatically.

My mind is so foggy and for a moment I have no idea what is going on. I close my eyes in relief as the cool liquid soothes my throat, and my mind starts to clear up somewhat. “What happened?” I ask when he gently let my head back on the pillow. He doesn’t answer and my eyes snap open to his again, but he isn’t looking at me. He has his head bowed down, looking towards his feet and only then do I notice his pale complexion and dark circles around his eyes. Fear creeps into my body and I grab onto his arm making him look at me. “J-Jack, wh-where are our girls?” I utter, a part of me fearing the answer and the other part wanting to know what happened.

Jack bows his head in shame and that was all that was needed to have my worst fears be confirmed. “No.” I mutter in before the sobs and tears start chocking me. “No, no, NO!!” I scream in anguish and try to get up but as before, pain shoots through my body but I don’t care. I want my pups. I need them. I struggle to get up only to be pushed back by Jack by the shoulders. I hear Jack trying to talk to me but the pain of having my pups taken from me is overwhelming and my wolf is howling in anger and misery making all too much to bear. Jack keeps restraining me and I’m vaguely aware of others barging into the room as my heart monitor goes crazy next to my bed.

“Alpha, we need to sedate her otherwise she could injure herself more seriously than what she already is.” I hear one of them say before I feel a stinging sensation in my arm followed by a warming and calming sensation running through my body and I feel my body reluctantly relax but the sobs still continue to escape my throat.

I look up at my mate, trying to plead with my eyes for him to do something but all I can read in his eyes is the same helplessness that I feel as his tears match my own. “I’ll get them back Sam, I promise.” Is the last thing I hear him whisper to me as everything in the room goes dark.
