"And what do we have here?", Luke asked.
Karl had brought in these two giant Wolves. He hoped they could fight.
"Where did you find them again?", Luke asked, watching as the Wolves paced in their cages.
"Emerson, the Phoenix", Karl said.
"So what rank are these guys?", Luke asked.
"The black one is an Alpha and the white is a Beta. We've never had those before", Karl said smiling.
"And they just willingly came with you?", Luke asked.
"No, Emerson needed to get rid of them. I had to use the collars on them", Karl said.
Luke nodded.
"Lets hope his pack doesn't come looking soon", Luke said.
Karl nodded. They needed Roman and Dean to lose themselves in their Wolves and in Roman's case, his Hellhound. After a few fights, fighting would be all they crave. Roman and Dean looked at each other. Dean scratched at the collar.
"Don't do that", Roman said.
"I can't help it, it itches", Dean said.
"Why can't I link the pack? I can't even feel them anymore", Roman said.
"Remember what your brother said, Underground has magic covering it. So the Council can't find this place", Dean said.
Roman sighed.
"When the pack goes looking for us, Seth will know something isn't right. Nova will use her powers on her grandfather and find out where we are", Dean said.
Roman had to believe that.
"Let's just hope it's not too late", Roman said.
Nova and Seth were in the kitchen. The Phoenix hadn't come back out again, which meant Nova was hungry, thirsty, and tired.
"What would you like? They have fruit, I think maybe we should start you off with something small", Seth said.
Nova was resting her head on her arms on top of the table. She looked weak to Seth. Seth cut up a few pieces of fruit and tossed them into a bowl before handing it to her.
"Please Alpha", he said.
Nova sat up slowly and grabbed the fork. It took a minute for her to eat one piece of melon and swallowing it. Seth sat across from her with his own bowl. She poked at another piece.
"I don't want to be here anymore Seth", she whispered.
Seth nodded.
"Where do you want to go?", he asked.
"With Roman", she said.
Seth smiled and nodded.
"Finish up and we'll get you some more rest and then leave this place", Seth said.
Nova nodded and continued to eat. It took her longer than normal. Seth kept getting her more water.
"Do you remember anything?", Seth asked.
"No, everything was pitch black, but I did get the feeling of something bad happening and I didn't like it.", she said.
Seth was glad she didn't remember anything.
"It's late, let's get you to bed and we'll leave as soon as you wake up in the morning", Seth said.
Nova nodded and stood slowly.
Mommy!
She stopped and turned.
"Did you hear that?", she asked.
Seth looked around.
"No", he said.
"It was the little girl again. She was calling for her mommy and for some reason I feel like she was calling to me", Nova said.
Nova shook her head.
"Lets get you some sleep", Seth said.
"Why didn't you stop this? She said she learned her lesson, why keep this going?", Sting asked.
"Because she hasn't. Trust me, I can tell. She was just scared", Boogeyman said.
Sting nodded. He guessed Boogeyman knew what he was doing and could stop this when he wanted too.
Nova woke up to arguing. She sat up and Seth was by the door, not moving. He was listening in on the conversation.
"What's going on?", she asked.
"Corey and Baron are here", Seth said.
"Can you hear what they're saying?", Nova asked, and getting out of bed.
"Roman and Dean didn't go back yesterday. It's not like them", Seth said.
Nova changed while Seth's back was to her. Grabbing her shoes, she had to stop, feeling dizzy.
"Alpha", Seth said, helping her sit.
"We have to help find them", Nova said.
Seth nodded.
"May I speak freely?", he asked.
She nodded as she put her shoes on.
"I don't think they ever left here", he said.
She grabbed her bag.
"What do you mean? Do you think my grandparents had something to do with them disappearing?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Their scents. I saw them come in but not out. On our way here, I would have smelled them and I didn't.", Seth said.
"She wants to come back out. She's pushing herself forward", Nova said, pressing her hand to the side of her head.
Her eyes turned violet. Dropping her hand to her side. It was the Phoenix now.
"Downstairs, I felt something. One of the doors, I felt like whatever was behind it was calling out to me", she said.
"It could have been Roman", Seth said, more to himself than her.
"But I thought only bonded mates could do that?", she asked.
"They can", Seth said.
She stood and walked out. Seth behind her quickly.
"What are we doing?", he asked.
"We are going to find out where Roman and Dean are", she said.
"He's not going to talk", Seth said.
"I have my ways", she said.
Seth didn't like the sound of that. Corey and Baron stood back.
"What's going on?", Seth asked.
"Alpha Roman and Beta Dean haven't come home. This was the last place they were and Alpha Roman told us that if they don't go home, to come looking", Corey said.
"And I told you, they were here, but they left. Wherever they went after here, I don't know.", Emerson shouted.
"And you think we trust your word? You? You don't like our kind", Baron growled.
"So what? What could I have possibly done to them?", he asked.
Nova quickly made her way down to the cell. All three Wolves followed. Finding the door, the lock was open. She opened the door and the room was empty.
"They were here", Seth said sniffing.
The Phoenix looked at Emerson, angry.
"That's why you didn't want him coming down here.", she said.
She grabbed Emerson by his throat. Her hand on fire.
"That won't do anything to me. I'm a Phoenix too remember", he said.
"But I'm stronger", she said.
Emerson could feel the fire burning him, which shouldn't have been possible. He started screaming.
"Where are Roman and Dean?", she asked, and stopped burning him.
"I don't know", he gasped.
She continued to burn him. The Wolves could smell burning flesh.
"Where are they?", she demanded.
He tried to fight the demand, but it was too much.
"I sold them", he yelled.
"What?", Seth asked.
"You'll never find them. I had John erase that part of information. They're gone", Emerson smirked.
"If they are hurt in anyway, I'm coming back here and killing you", she warned.
Seth, Baron, and Corey followed her out.
"What do we do Alpha? We don't know where they are or with who", Seth said.
"Didn't you guys mention something about Underground fights", she said.
"Yes, but those aren't till Friday, two days away", Corey said.
"Then we'll wait and figure something out. Let's go home", she said.
