Free Web NovelChapter 60: Chapter 60 Stand off
The Third Person’s POV
Matt felt the break in his mate bond connection with Abby immediately. He rushed from the training grounds, where he had been discussing the new training regime with the head warriors from both packs. He was supposed to go to the new pack house to look over the progress, but when the connection suddenly went dormant in him, he and Blade needed to go back to her office. What had happened?
A panicked Jason joins Matt at the entrance to the house. He is looking to be between pissed off and very confused, displaying the emotions running through Matt himself.
"Did Ellie disappear too?" Matt asks, while they both run up the stairs where Abby’s office is. He nods curtly.
They both burst through the door to the office only a couple of minutes before Abby and Ellie went missing, surprising the three goddesses in there, who are looking puzzled themselves.
Jason instinctively growls at the three strangers, not recognizing Selene in his worried state.
"Where is my mate?" He asks, while stalking towards the three ladies. Matt reaches a hand out, grabbing his furious friend before he harms himself. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"I am sorry, Selene." Matt says towards the goddess. Jason stops dead in his tracks. Selene. Oh shit. He was about to attack the moon goddess. But who were the others? And most importantly, where were his mate and his Queen?
As if she can read his mind, Selene answers the unspoken question.
"This is my sisters, Ophelia and Monica. Ophelia is the goddess of vampires, whereas Monica is the goddess of all magic kind. We came to discuss the question about Abby carrying the Destiny Children, but before we could get her to gather you all, she was summoned. Ellie seemed to feel what was happening, and she jumped on. Do you two know where they went?" Selene explains. When the guys look utterly confused, she gets a bad feeling. Something is very wrong indeed.
"No, we don’t know where they are? The mate bond link to both of them is not there. It’s like it’s gone dormant in some way, so we cannot track them down." Matt answers on both their behalf’s, his anger rising.
"Why didn’t you three stop that teleportation if you were here?" Jason asks the goddesses, not able to keep his voice calm. He is convinced the goddesses know where his mate is, and he needs her home. They have told no one yet, but Ellie is pregnant. With a girl the doctor said yesterday, when they were at the appointment. He needs them both back, alive and well. If anything happened to any of them, he would raise hell.
The goddesses look at each other. If the guys can’t feel their mates, there is only one place they can be, and that is not good. Not good at all. They start a mental conversation on how to handle this situation, when Matt and Jason’s phones rings, and Morgan burst through the door. On the phone are Sami and Isadora. None of the three girls can feel Abby or Ellie, and they are all worried.
"We are driving to you now." Isadora says, while Daemon instructs his Beta and Gamma to keep the fort while they settle this. Benjamin does the same at the end of where Sami is, and she tells them they are on their way as well.
Morgan is not paying attention to the phone calls. She is staring at the women, to whom she has not been presented. But she knows one of them personally; Monica. She is her goddess, well she was her only goddess until she became the mate to Brandon and a hybrid.
"What aren’t you telling us?" She asks the women as she strides towards them. On the contrary to the wolves, she is not afraid of the goddesses, nor is she intimidated. She is a star wolf and the Mother of her coven. They are nothing but tricksters and illusionists to her.
"I asked you a question, Mater Dea." She says looking directly at Monica, blatantly ignoring the others, much to their dismay.
"We are..." Ophelia tries, but Morgan holds up her hand.
"I wasn’t asking you. I am asking her." She says, still not looking at any other than Monica. It fills the room with tension, as everyone else tried to stay out of the standoff in front of them. Brandon, feeling his mate’s absolute outrage, comes running into the office, making it a little crowded. Marr mind-links Kaiden to not come there, even though he was on his way with Laurel. Feeling their Alpha and King’s rage and despair, they had rushed home from their romantic lunch in town. He agreed, but they were still coming home, just to be near if he needed them, anyway. Matt asked Jason to do the same with his ranked members, and he agreed.
"Listen here, little lady. I don’t know how you think you are.." Ophelia starts, with utter indignation, over the audacity of this creature. But again she is stopped by a hand. This time Morgan turns her head, and Ophelia has to take a step back. Her eyes are not the same as they used to be. One eye is a deep emerald green, and the other is an amethyst purple. How and when did that happen? She looks at her sisters, who are as bewildered as she is.
"I am still not speaking to you. And I’m not afraid of you! Now, I’ll ask one more time and you have 10 seconds to answer me. WHERE IS ABBY AND ELLIE?" Morgan yells the last part, shaking the office. Everyone, Brandon included, gasps. How did she do that? Brandon had felt more power within his mate from the moment she had become the official Mother of her coven, but this kind of power was something else.
Monica takes a deep breath. She should have seen this coming. Making Morgan a hybrid and Mother was the deal she, Selene, and Ophelia had made. Along with Sami and Ellie. They had chosen girls from all the fractions, to gather and unite them in a sisterhood that would benefit their goal. But she should have seen the development with her young one coming, anyway. Abby was the queen. Born of two fractions and species, but Morgan had proven her skills more than once. Having multicolored eyes was special indeed. Just look at Abby. But having one eye, one color, and their other another color was also very rare. She sighed. This was something to think about later.
