Roman was standing outside of the huge castle with Dean beside him. He knew the Phoenix could sense him and Dean. Guard and ex pack members walked over to him.
"Alpha Reigns, they want to know what you're doing here", Heath said.
"Tell them it's about Nova, it's urgent", he said.
Heath nodded and linked King Emerson. He looked back at Roman when his King approved.
"Follow me", Heath said.
Roman and Dean behind them. Walking down a huge hall, seeing rooms and stairs leading to who knows where. Stopping behind a huge white door. Heath opened it and they walked in. Heath didn't enter, closing the door behind Roman and Dean. The King stood and walked over to Roman.
"Where is my granddaughter?", he asked.
"She's gone. Her Phoenix took over and she's on a killing spree. I need your help in stopping her before it gets far worse than it is", Roman said.
This was the last thing he wanted to do, but Abigail was right. They were the only ones who could help.
"This is why Wolves make bad mates for our kind. They aren't strong enough", Emerson ranted.
Roman rolled his eyes.
"You should talk to Nikki", Roman was cut off.
"Queen Nikki, she has a title, use it", Emerson snapped at him.
It took everything in Roman not to snap at Emerson.
"Like I was saying, talk to Queen Nikki. She couldn't even control her. Your kind is weak against her too", Roman said.
Dean smirked.
"Where is she?", the King asked, ignoring Roman's words.
"She found something out about her parents death. She's going after the one person who knows what happened", Roman said.
"Stephanie, the Witch", Dean finished.
Emerson nodded.
"I'll go and collect her. Its best that neither of you are here when she arrives", Emerson said.
"She's my mate. I'm asking for your help, not for you to take her from me", Roman said.
"Its obvious you can't control her, Alpha. Let me and my family take her off your hands and find her someone who can", he said, turning to walk away from Roman and Dean.
Dean growled. Emerson stopped. Looking over his shoulder, his eyes glowing.
"How dare you growl at me mutt", Emerson said.
"One of her mates is dead and the other she doesn't trust. She won't want him", Roman said.
"Leave, now", Emerson said.
Roman placed his hand on Dean's shoulder.
"Lets go", Roman said.
Dean looked towards his Alpha, confused.
"But", Roman stopped him.
"We'll figure something else out. For now, let's get to her before they do", Roman linked to his Beta.
Dean nodded and they walked towards the doors. Dean tried to open it, but it was locked.
"Did you think I would actually let you leave after reading your mind.", they turned to look at the King.
"Yes, I can do that. Just like I know Nova can. She probably hasn't found it yet", he said shrugging.
Roman growled now. His Hellhound coming out. Emerson smirked.
"So the rumors are true. You're a Hellhound", he said.
Roman was going to shift and attack him, but was frozen after taking a step towards him. The Queen came out, her eyes were ice blue.
"My wife can freeze, another Phoenix gift", Emerson said.
Roman had seen that one from Nova several times. He could hear Dean growling behind him. Heath walked in with Bo, Curtis, and Adam. They each took a knee in front of the King.
"Take them downstairs and lock them in one of the cells.", he said.
They stood and looked at each other.
"What's the problem?", Emerson asked.
"He's our Alpha, we can't", Emerson stopped Heath.
"You work for me, not him. You left your pack. Now do as I say or leave", he said, raising his voice.
Heath swallowed and nodded. They tied Roman and Dean's hands together. The cuffs around their wrists, filled with magic to keep them from shifting.
"I'm sorry Alpha Reigns", Heath whispered to him.
Roman nodded.
"Don't let them hurt her. She's not herself right now", Roman whispered to Heath as they walked them down to the cells under the castle.
They locked them up separately.
"Tell her to trust her heart. If it feels bad, don't go through with it.", Roman said as Heath closed the door on him.
"I'll tell her", Heath said.
Roman exhaled and looked around the small room. A cot, a toilet, and a bucket of water sat in the corner.
"Why can't I link anyone?", Dean asked from his cell.
"This room must be covered in magic. No asking for help or planning for rescue", Roman said.
"What do we do?", Dean asked.
"Wait for Baron and Corey to come. They know that if we don't show by tomorrow night, to come looking", Roman said.
"Did Abigail tell you what she knew?", Dean asked.
"Not yet. I wanted to find Nova first, she's more important now", Roman said.
"She said this isn't how it was suppose to be.", Dean said.
"Dean, do you remember the books? The history? In any of that do you remember reading anything on Witches and manipulating time?", Roman asked.
"No, there was something else though. I just can't remember his name. I figured we never go into the dark woods, so why remember him", Dean said.
Roman sighed.
"Me too", Roman said.
Nova-
She could feel Stephanie's powers. She could take her. The only thing stopping her was her husband and Randy.
"On your orders", Seth said.
The Phoenix looked at Seth.
"We just need Stephanie. She's all I want", she said.
"Hunter's her mate. You take her and", she cut him off.
"And he'll follow. I know, I've learned a lot about the mate bond. Just like I know Roman sent you with me.", she said.
Seth looked at her.
"Unlike Nova, I've lived several lives. She doesn't remember any of it because they aren't her memories, they're mine", the Phoenix explained.
Seth nodded.
"For a wolf to go rogue is frowned upon by other Wolves. You're a Gamma, it's engrained in you to stick by your Alpha. So, you are either really stupid to leave such a promising position or he sent you with me, or you're so terrified of me that you rather be on my good side", she said.
He chuckled.
"You don't scare me.", he said.
"So then it's the middle one, he sent you", she said.
"You said it yourself, it's engrained in me to stick by my Alpha. You are my Alpha female. Roman has Dean and you have me", he said.
"He and I haven't mated, I am not", he stopped her.
"But you will be. I see the way you look at him, Nova too", he said.
The Phoenix looked away from him.
"He told me to leave, I'm not welcome back", she said.
"We both know that if that was true, I wouldn't be here now", Seth said.
She smirked.
"So he did send you", she said, looking over at him.
He chuckled. He froze and placed his hand on Nova's shoulder.
"What's wrong?", she whispered.
"Someone's coming", he whispered.
She looked back. Feeling the power radiating off of whoever it was.
"Stop", she said.
Whoever it was stopped, but they were trying to fight it.
"Nova, it's me", Nikki called out.
Nova and Seth made their way to where Nikki, John, and another man stood, unable to move. She waved her hand and they relaxed.
"My wife has the same gift, but she's not from the Order", this man said.
Nova looked at Seth.
"He's the King and your grandfather", Seth whispered.
This man smiled and stepped in front of Nova.
"I'm Emerson, your grandpa", he said, holding his hand out.
"Nova", she said.
Emerson glanced at Seth.
"You can leave now", he said to Seth.
Nova held onto Seth's arm.
"He stays, I trust him", Nova said.
Emerson nodded.
"I heard you found out who killed your mother? What do you say we take care of the problem together?", he asked.
Nova looked at Seth and then back to Emerson.
"I'm not going to kill her just yet. I want her to suffer the way my parents did, the way I did", she said.
He nodded and smiled.
"We can do that", he said.
He looked back at Nikki and John.
"Get Orton and Hunter. Nova and I will get Stephanie and meet you back at the castle.", he said.
Nikki looked worried.
"Don't question me, Nicole", he said, his eyes glowing.
Nikki nodded and followed after John.
"I can help you, Nova. You just have to trust me. I am on your side", he said smiling.
He held his hand out and she hesitated before taking it. Seth didn't like this one bit. He tried reaching out to Roman, but got no reply. He tried Dean, only to get the same results.
"Lets go get Stephanie", Emerson said.
Seth followed. He knew Emerson hated Wolves, but that wasn't going to stop Seth from following them. He was going to protect Nova as best he could.
