Alex POV

I woke up with a throbbing headache. I looked around and saw I was in a hospital room, with my lovely mate standing beside my bed. “W-w-w” I choked out, my mouth was too dry to form a single word. I caught Selena’s attention though. She poured me a glass of water and held it up to my lips. I downed the whole thing in a few seconds. Clearing my throat, I could now speak.

“What happened baby?” I asked her. She looked down and sighed. “You have been out for a whole week Alex. The doctors said it was nothing physical, your body was just completely out of energy.” She said, wrapping her arms gently around me. “Hey, hey baby girl. Shhh. It’s ok.” I cooed trying to calm her. I closed my eyes and tried to feel for my wolf. ‘Spike?’ I felt him stir, like if I was just waking him up from a nap. I heard him grumble but then nothing. Selena then jolted away from me and was about to rush out. “I got to go tell Sabrina that you’re awake.” She said and before I could reply she was gone.

I had a small smile and shook my head, but something in my gut said something was wrong. Before I could get too deep in my thoughts… Roy, Sabrina, Leo, Zero, Hero, and Selena all came running into my room. “Whoa guys, I know I am loved, but what is with the grom faces?” I teased. Zero and Hero glared at me. I raised my hands up in surrender. “Ok ok. Sorry for the bad joke.” I quickly said.

Sabrina came over to the side of the bed. “Alex, have you felt anything since you woke up?” I looked at her a bit confused. “Umm, no not really. I feel drained like I have no energy, and Spike won’t answer me.” Sabrina looked worried about something, and that gut feeling was getting worse. ‘I need to see Jess.’

The thought just popped into my mind out of nowhere. “Hey where is Jess? I feel like I need to see her.” I asked. I saw that everyone stiffened at my question. That feeling got worse. I felt like I was going to puke. I turned to Roy, looked him dead in the eyes, and asked again. “Where is Jess?” He took a deep breath and returned my serious look. “Tasha took her. We won against her wolves and it was just her. She used your parents to draw Sabrina’s attention away from her for a split moment. In that moment she injected something into Jess’s back leg and she fell to the floor, and then with a teleportation spell… they were gone.” He said, never taking his eyes off mine.

I felt even more sick to my stomach, that this time I actually ‘tossed my cookies’ in the waste basket next to my bed. Selena rushed over to my side and patted my back. After I was done a nurse came in with some mouthwash. I guess one of the triplets mindinked for it. I rinsed my mouth out and turned to Sabrina. “What do we do now?” She sighed and spoke as calmly as she could. “So far the rouges we took prisoner are not talking, even with torture, and I haven’t been able to get through to Jess or Shianna with my magic.”

I lowered my eyes. ‘Damn it all!’ I cursed in my head. “But…” I heard Sabrina start talking again and I raised my eyes to meet hers again. “There is a spell I want to try when your wolf wakes up. Since you and Jess mended your bond as twins through a b***d bond, then the connection between Midnight and Spike will be stronger. So with this spell Spike should be able to track Jess through Midnight.” “How would the spell help?” I asked. “My spell will amplify the range of his side of the bond, so even if Tasha has weakened Midnight with wolfsbane or silver, Spike would still be able to sense her.”

I felt hopeful and wanted to try it as soon as possible. I closed my eyes to try and wake Spike up again, but I felt someone grab my shoulder. I looked up and saw Sabrina. “It would have the best results if we allowed Spike to wake up on his own. Allow him to regain his strength.” I furrowed my brows. I didn’t want Jess to be there even a moment longer, but I had to think clearly. Resting before the battle was always smarter, more than rushing in while everyone was tired.

I sigh and nod to Sabrina. “Ok I will take it easy and let you know when he wakes up.” I told her. She smiled. Leo spoke up then. “Ok now that we have this settled, my brothers and I will continue with the prisoners to see if we can get anything out of them while we wait for your wolf to wake up.” I sighed again as now we were in a waiting game.
