(Somewhere in the vampire kingdom)
"So whats your decision?" A pissed vampire sitting on a chair facing the cellar, looked at the two wolves who are cuffed on the wall. "Whats the situation at the pack, Gil?" He asked his friend when the wolves didn't answer.
Gil stepped forward, "there's still no news about their luna's whereabout" he turned at the other vamp who stood beside their leader "how's the bite on you Faun?"
Faun shrugged his shoulder at him, "their alpha will lose his sanity if the luna can not be found, Dmitri" he told his friend. "But the real question is?"
"Who have her?!" Dmitri stood up very pissed and walked towards the two wolves, "i'm losing patience here dogs!" He kicked the male wolf, "i want to hear your decision now!" He have to have that wolf. She is his!
The male wolf stared back at Dmitri, then gazed to the other wolf. The she wolf, gazed back at him.
Dmitri gave a sigh and grabbed the she wolf's neck. Losing his patience, he threatened the wolf by choking this she-wolf. The male wolf growled at him, "let her go!" He roared at Dmitri, he tried to claw him but it was fruitless as he was being restrained by silver cuffed. And he had only burned his skin.
Dmitri smirked at him as he watched the wolf wound himself, touting him more, he tighten his grip on the she wolf "i need your answer dog" drawing some blood on her neck.
The she wolf was now crying, "mate," she have difficulty speaking as her airwaves are being blocked, "help" she pleaded.
"Alright! Alright!" The wolf gave in "just don't hurt her anymore" his eyes tearing with deep emotion towards the she wolf.
Dmitri smiled triumphantly "finally!" He dropped the she wolf. He then walked back to his friend.
"Mate," the male wolf called to her, "it'll be okay," he told her, "i promise" the she wolf looked at her mate with a teary eyes.

Quincy's POV
I've been sitting on this bed since last night. I didn't sleep. I keep thinking about my situation. The witch new what i am, its not far to say that alpha James also knew about it too. Was that the real reason he abducted me? Was he really after the power of the gift? I don't want to accept that the person who showed goodness to me, saved me from someone like alpha Simon, can do something like this.
I can see the outside from the small window, it was now dawn. In just few minutes, the sun will rise up. "Another day" i murmured."how long will I be staying here?" I asked myself. "Are you still looking for me?" Tears crept in my eyes. Remembering him again. Our bond grew and now without him, without seeing him, hearing his voice, brings sadness in my heart.
"Icy" my ears perked when i hear my wolf, "We need to talk," her voice sounds kinda nervous.
My brow raised at her "Willow? Whats wrong girl?"
"We're going to be in trouble" she said, she can't seem to calm down "we have to shift!" she said frantically.
"Shift?" I frowned at what she wants to do "why?"
"We're going into heat!" she revealed.
I was taken a back my eyes grew wide, "what?! W-we're going into what?" I wanted to be sure of what i heard from her. "A-are you sure about that?"
Willow is pacing back and forth, she wont calm down "yes, tonight, we're going into heat"
"B-but, but our mate, Caleb isn't here" i embraced myself, trying to make myself calm, as if by doing so will protect me.
Once a marked female wolf went into heat, she will craved for her mate. But at the same time, she will release a scent that will entice any male wolf that was near.
"That's why we need to shift. I'll be more dangerous for you to remain in human form" she explained, "at least i can protect us if we were in our beast form"
I nodded in agreement "Willow, if we go into heat," my eyes is on the door, "what are we gonna do if alpha James learned of it?"
Willow groans inside, "i don't want to think about it Icy." She's scared. I know she is. Going into heat without our mate and another alpha nearby, is not good "to tell you the truth, his wolf is starting to scare me." She admitted.
"Will we be able to stay away from him?" I doubt we will be able to run away from here.

At the Moonbridge pack
Its been a week since the luna ceremony. A week since Caleb starts exhausting himself trying to find Quincy. Every night, he will shift and run through their land until their border. He let Xavier released their power to make a wide range search. Even forcing neighboring packs to abide to his command. Questioning every wolf through a forced link. But he didn't get any positive reply. Xavier howls into the sky. They're standing at their land's highest cliff.
"Caleb" Leon called out to him again.
He looked at his beta. His cousin Garret and Wayne, stood behind him. They've been with him for a week now. He withdrawn from his alpha duty and asked his father to step up back for the time being.
Caleb makes one last glance at the setting sun before he shifted back. Wayne gave him clothes to wear.
"Any news?" He asked them as he puts on his clothes.
Leon shakes his head. There's still no news. His luna is still nowhere to be found. It pained the three to watch their alpha suffer like this.
The moon have long risen up in the sky when they finally arrived at the pack house. The surrounding was enveloped with sorrow. Everyone was lonely and worried about their luna.
Caleb was about to step on the threshold of the pack house when he felt pain piercing his body that he stumbled down. "Ahhh!" He screamed getting the attention of the three person behind him who were about to leave.
The three quickly moved to their alpha's side. "Caleb!" Leon kneeled down in front of him "whats wrong?" Helping him get up.
Caleb was somewhat stunned. Wondering what hit him. He looked at his beta and was about to say that it was nothing, when he was hit by a series of pain again. "Ahhh!" He screamed bending down on the ground, crunching his middle body, "Xavier what's happening?!"
"Mate!?" He screamed back.
Hearing Xavier mentioned our mate, Caleb focus his eyes and energy more. He grabbed Leon's arm for balance as he tries to stand up.
"What do you mean!?" He asked his wolf again, "did something happen to her?!" Xavier becomes agitated, and wild. "Xavier!" He called to him again "what's wrong man!?"
"Heat! Mate is going into heat!" Xavier said as he tried to control himself, he is going wild.
"D*mn!" He cursed, why now, he asked himself.
Garret took the other arm to help him up. "Alpha what's wrong?"
Caleb looked at his cousin "it's Quincy"
The three looked at each other, "what happened to luna?" Leon asked.
"She's going into heat" he informed them. He grabbed his beta's shoulder, "lock me up!" He ordered to him.
Leon blankly stares at him. "Lock you up?" He repeated, his eyes is asking why.
Caleb breathe in deeply, "i'm losing control of Xavier, i don't know what he'll do if that will ever to happen"
Leon nodded, he understood what will happen "help me take him to the cell" he said to the two.
They brought their alpha into the prison cell. The one with heavy silver coated bars and is located deep underground. They've walked Caleb inside the cell. Once inside, Caleb leaned on the far corner. He was shaking his head. His eyes are shifting normal to black and back.
"Get me some shackles!" He screamed, holding his growls in his mouth. "Restrain me!" He punched the wall, inflicting pain to himself to gain back some senses.
Wayne quickly leave the cell to get something to hold his alpha. When he came back, he was holding a bag. He dropped it on the floor and it gave a metallic sound.
Caleb looked at the three again. "Wrap it around me. Tightly." He then looked at the wall, "cuff me on the wall" he told them. "Then stay away from me" he was now breathing heavily "do it now! Hurry!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside the prison building, where Caleb self restained himself underground, Alicia, Emily and Heather, await for Garret, Wayne and Leon, they want to know how their alpha is doing.
Nobody knows why their Alpha ordered his beta and the two warriors to bring him to this prison and confined him there. The three girls remained outside even after Leon ordered the guards to leave the building.
When the door finally opened and the three men walked out, Leon sealed the door with automatic barrier coated with silver. The seal was doubled by a silver metal door.
Heather walked to her mate, "what's going on?" She asked him with concern. She also looked at the other two.
"Why did you locked alpha Caleb inside?" Emily stood in front of Leon, "what's happening to him?"
Leon didn't answer and averted his eyes. Garret who is grabbed by his mate in his arm also averted his mate's eyes. Wayne step aside to avoid being questioned.
The three girls looked at each other. They are wondering why these men aren't talking. What have they been hiding?
"Alright!" Alicia raised her voice, "you three better tell us now what really is going on here!" She said with her hands on her waist.
Heather copped her mate's face and turned it to face her "Garret, really, what's going on?" She asked again.
Garret looked at Leon then to Wayne. "We, six, are already connected," Emily crossed her arms on her chest, "we can feel each other's emotion now"
The three men were surprised, their eyes grew wide. "What do you mean by that?" Leon stepped forward questioning her. He admitted to himself. He can feel some connection with the other five. Like a sibling connection, but deeper.
"Don't you feel it?" Alicia walked to Emily's side, "ever since the ritual when Quincy got her bond back," she reminded the three, "when we gave over our blood to her, our connection grew stronger" she explained.
Leon, Garret and Wayne were stunned. They all noticed it too. After that event, they can easily feel each other, feelings, emotion.
"We know that something happened to alpha Caleb, and you're hiding it from everyone" Heather continued as she let go of her mate, "we can feel alpha Caleb's emotion too"
Leon sighed and nodded to the two men. "Alright" he said brushing his finger through his hair. "Caleb said," he paused and looked at the three girls, "Quincy is going into heat" he revealed to them.
The girls gasped, Heather grabbed her mate's arms again while Emily and Alicia covered their mouth.
"H-how, how is that possible?!" Emily turned around bubbling.
Alicia stepped in front of Leon, "that cant be? Alpha Caleb didn't mark Quincy" she looked at everyone waiting for them to agree with her.
"Quincy wasn't marked either, when she goes into heat before, remember?" Wayne spoke for the first time, reminding her of that event.
The girls turned their head to Wayne. And they all remembered it. That's right, Quincy wasn't marked by anyone, even by alpha Caleb before, but she still goes into heat.
Heather lowers her head, "then, why? Why is she going into heat when she isn't marked?" Confusion was on the face of the girls.
Leon looked at the building again. "I think its because it wasn't Caleb who mark her" he looked at Garret and Wayne. They all have the same conclusion. "I think Xavier was the one who mark her"
"Xavier?!" The girls stunned by this possibility. They've learned their alpha's wolf's name.
"No, that's not possible!" Heather shook her head, "Quincy doesn't have any mark on her, she doesn't bore any marked in her neck"
Garret put his hands on his mate's shoulder and turned her to face him, "we think that it wasn't Quincy who Xavier marked"
Alicia and Emily snapped their head to Garret. Heather frowned at his mate's statement, "what do you mean, it wasn't Quincy who Xavier marked? Then who is?"
The girls eyes grew wide when they realized it. "Willow?!"
