Rejected Mate and Following Fate - Awakening Book

Chapter 107: The Frequency

We know. Vampires are trailing off and heading your way. Get inside the manor and find the control room to try and disable it.

Colton’s fast response is ragged and strained and I can tell they are really in the thick of it and not doing so well. I can feel his fatigue, hear his stress levels in just one link. Without seeing what’s going on, I can tell the valley must be a bloodbath right now. They are fighting hard to stay in control and god knows how many have died already.

Are you okay? I reply in panic, not knowing how to feel with the way things seem to have suddenly combusted and are no longer in our control. Our plans have gone to hell and I feel useless and somehow cut off from what’s going on. No sense of what to do or how to help.

We’re holding on and pulling villagers with us. We’re coming to you as soon as we can but just do as I ask. There are more of them than us and half of the Valley wolves are weak and sick.

We shall Alpha. Be safe… Luna…. He’s right. We need to disable it.

Radar breaks into the link, which Colton sent using the sub pack bond before I can formulate a response. I’m still rooted to the spot as I let this sink in and try to think. The urgency around us hemming in on me so I feel instantly suffocated and my brain doesn’t want to cooperate. It’s spiraling.

Take care of her for me. Colton ends the link and goes back to fighting to save his people with one last commanding order.

“He wants us to go inside and disable the tone that’s making the wolves weak.” I relay to those around me who weren’t part of the pack link.

“Get these boys up, they’re coming with us. Move. We don’t have time to wait around.” Leyanne’s commanding voice comes at us from behind, startling me, and it’s only now I realize she wasn’t with us. She’s moving fast, followed by a high-flying stream of crows as she paces at us, her robes flapping in the speed of her own motion. I have no idea where she went but she’s good at doing the disappearing and reappear act.

“The manor?” I ask with uncertainty and am caught by the wrist as she passes and tugged towards the house with hurried force. “What about Juan?” I yelp in fright with the sheer strength of her maneuver.

“He’s not important right now. The wolves are losing because of his damned weapon. We need to turn it off but leave the defense intact so they vampires don’t use theirs. My magic can’t do a thing with technology.” She for once sounds ruffled and majorly annoyed. Dragging me from the center of my pack and with her towards the stairs. My guards seem momentarily shocked that she would haul their Luna this way and then scramble to follow while dragging our prisoners with them. Carmen doesn’t question but hops behind me, Sierra on her tail and I can tell that like me, they are now uncertain and worried. It’s only a matter of time before the frequency affects us too and we don’t know how long that will take. Like a slow poison invading our systems.

“The control room for the cameras used to be on the ground floor near the sub common room.” Carmen flits to human form, pushing in front of us with speed as we get to the door of the manor and halts before she grabs the handle. The door isn’t boarded or blocked but she hesitates and holds up a palm behind her to stop us moving forward.

“What?” I blanche in irritation.

“Wolfsbane…can’t you smell it.” She leans in and around the door, her nose inching close, scrounging up her face in disgust and then moves to the handle with caution.

“Really?” I snort in amused disbelief “He would swoop as low as tainting handles with wolfsbane. What’s wrong with him?”

For a second I long for Meadow and Colton beside me to go through with this and cross my fingers that both and the rest of our pack are safe. They’re warriors and some of the fiercest fighters of the Santo pack, but I’m still scared to death about what they are enduring right now, out there.
