What would the plan entail? Bradley enquired
“Luke should express to Mia his desire to reconcile, as this aligns with her wishes.”
“Is demanding,” Luke said while gazing at the obscured city.
“Maddis?” He heard Jodi enquire.
“Mortally tranquil,” Luke said, since it was indeed the reality; his beast had remained silent for hours. “I can only speculate about his independent plotting and planning.”
“Indeed, he ought to be,” Bradley remarked, “She is his Luna, and he should be prepared to sacrifice his life for her, is he not?”
“Yes,” Luke affirmed without hesitation, “so am I, Bradley.”
“We will proceed to retrieve her,” Jodi asserted. “You and your unruly creature may eliminate any obstacles that attempt to impede our progress.”
Luke nodded in agreement. Jodi had trained him, his entire unit, and Bradley ought to have been responsible for training the subsequent generation. His nieces and nephew pondered idly whether they would choose to resume their previous responsibilities. Although he and his team no longer received instruction from a trainer, it was unnecessary. It would be beneficial for both of them to educate their family. The manner in which they possessed Bella, indeed.
He was quite shocked that they had arrived with Lanky today. The Luna family comprised two of the pack’s most skilled fighters. Where else could they be when their daughter and sister had been abducted?
“The triplets?”He enquired, “How are they faring?”He directed his gaze towards Jodi.
“They remain oblivious, and it shall remain so.” Vera is at the pack-house supervising your folks. They possess a complete guard. Tomas is assuming no risk with them.
Luke acquiesced; it was his father’s typical response. The issue may originate from the opposite side of the country; nevertheless, this does not preclude the possibility of a direct threat to him and his elite warrior force, which is now beyond their designated region.
He had not yet addressed the matter of Bella’s parents and her brother and his partner relocating to the pack-house to be nearer to her. He believed she would appreciate providing each of them with a suite on the fourth level, ensuring their proximity. He favoured the notion of their being within the pack-house. They believed it would be preferable to be nearer to her and the children.
He intended to share his thoughts with her and get her perspective on if it was something she desired. During her birthday. He may no longer have the opportunity to do that, given that her birthday is tomorrow and she is no longer present. Detained in an undisclosed location.
He had secured a reservation for an intimate candlelit meal for the two of them at an upscale restaurant. He possessed the engagement ring with him now, having taken it along when he arrived, anticipating that she would choose to remain and pack her flat. Intended to permit her.
Had permitted her, without even enquiring if she would return to the pack. I let her to pack her belongings at her own leisure.
He possessed the engagement ring, featuring a rare green diamond in a cushion cut, encircled by a full white diamond halo, all set in a white gold band. He commissioned it just for her, having observed her frequent use of white gold hoop earrings, which seemed rather charming on her. He was uncertain whether he would be able to present it to her.
He was unaware of her whereabouts, and if her flight or fight response had been triggered, which he was quite convinced it would be eventually, she must be frightened wherever she was. That implied that she would, if able to escape, flee at full wolfen speed to an unknown destination, with no awareness of her whereabouts or where to run.
She may remain lost for days or weeks in that environment. He was uncertain whether she possessed her phone or if they were merely in an area lacking service. He and Benzy had previously attempted to triangulate and track it, as they had with Mackys; it was probable that both had been deactivated or destroyed by Mia when she had removed the two of them to prevent such actions.
He remained standing and attentively listened as Benzy articulated the strategy for Jodi and Bradley. After an extended silence, he eventually confronted Brad directly.
“You will accomplish this; it is necessary.” I anticipate your successful execution of it. You indeed love her.
“Affirmative.” He replied, disliking the man’s proximity and confrontation, given his status as Alpha. However, his longstanding discord with Brad overshadowed any concern for rebuke or punishment; his whole focus was on his sister.
“Excellent, then do not waver; convey to her what she desires to hear, and maintain control over yourself and your inner beast.” Bella will comprehend; I am aware of her affection for you. What is the reason? He shook his head and exclaimed, “Who knows?” She is my sister, and I desire her happiness. If that option pertains to you. “So be it,” he remarked, gazing at him for an extended while.
