The White Moon Alphas Return

Chapter 9- Let Us Welcome Death Himself

-Kaiden BloodStar’s POV-

I love being in charge and powerful, but all of this paper work that comes with running a vampire clan is bull s**t. I can’t f*****g focus! All I want is my little wolf!

There’s a knock at the door, “What?!” I yell.

Gary, my assistant, opens the door, “There is a man here to see you, he’s the leader of the NightStar Clan.”

“Send him in.”

A tall, pale man with black hair walks in. “I’m Simon NightStar.” He holds out his hand to shake mine.

I cross my arms, not in the mood for visitors. “Kaiden BloodStar.”

He retracts his hand, “Let us get right down to business, I heard you’re in search of someone?” He says, not really a question.

“I am. What is this to you?” I ask, already tired of this conversation.

“I own a supernatural club, a group of teens entered earlier, one of which was a certain wolf you’re looking for. I can give you the address.” He says.

“What’s in it for you?” I ask, though I could just kill him, and figure out where his club was, then get my little wolf.

“All I ask is the blonde she-wolf she’s with is left unharmed, Esme Wattson.” He looks at me, he clearly cares for her. I could use that, should I ever have problems with the NightStar Clan.

“Deal.” I say, now knowing it is definitely Aliauna, if Miss Wattson is with her.

Simon grabs a pen off the desk and writes an address on a post-it note and gives it to me, “Pleasure doing business with you.” He says before leaving.

I walk around my desk and sit down, I pick up the phone and call my second in command, Ryan.

It rings a few times before he picks up. “Sir? What can I do for you?”

“Get a team together, I have a location on my little wolf.”

-Aliauna’s POV-

I’m completely frozen for the second time tonight, this time is different though, I’m staring into the eyes of the very one who made me this way.

‘Ali! You need to go, NOW!’ Asuna yells at me.

I snap out of it and look at Esme. She notices my expression, “Hey? You good?” She asks.

I shake my head ‘no’ and turn away, pushing through the crowd looking for Tyler. I find him dancing with the other guys. “Tyler.”

He looks at me and his expression changes from happy to worried. “Aliauna, what is it?”

“Tyler, he’s here. Kaiden, Kaiden’s here… for me.” I whisper.

Tyler pulls me into his arm’s, “Fuck.”

“This way.” Esme says, having followed me to Tyler and heard what I said.

We move as a closely packed unit of six with Esme leading. I can sense the worry, anger, and fear within our group. Everyone sobered up real f*****g fast.

Esme leads us to some stairs in a back hallway, we take them up a few stories and exit on the rooftop.

“There should be a fire escape here somewhere.” Esme says as she looks along the edge of the roof.

“Don’t bother, I have people there. I have people at every exit.” A voice says, and my heart stops.

I turn around and come face to face with my nightmares. Tyler steps in front of me but off to the side, as to not over power me. Within seconds, the group and I are surrounded by vampires.

“Now, Aliauna why don’t you make this easy for your friends, you don’t want any more of them to die. Just come with me and everyone will be fine.” Kaiden says.

“Everyone but her would be safe. She would never be safe with you.” Tyler growls.

Kaiden’s face falters, he definitely does not like how protective Tyler is of me. “Of course she will be, she’s MINE.” He hisses back.

“She’s not going with you and that’s final. I’d die before I’d let you take her.” Tyler says.

“But will she let you die?” Kaiden smirks, knowing the answer. He nods his head and within a second a huge fight erupts.

Kyle shifts his hands, Mateo shifts to Clive, and Tyler and Esme shift to their wolves. I pull out the blades I hid in my heels, and toss one to Eric. I refuse to shift and risk showing my body to Kaiden, need I shift back. My team and I eliminate vampires with ease, having improved greatly since our losses.

I see two vampires have cornered Eric close to the edge, and run over, killing them quickly.

There’s a loud bang, turning around I see a cloud of white smoke. What the f**k was that? When the smoke clears, the fighting is settled, but my teammates are all shifted back.

“That was a little concoction I had a witch make for me. It forced a shift to human on all of you.” Kaiden’s voice says.

I look over, and a red-headed vampire beside Kaiden has Tyler with a blade to his throat. The vampire holds Tyler tighter, and Tyler hisses in pain. I whimper for him, resisting the urge to run to him.

“The blade is silver.” The vampire laughs.

“Oh, Aliauna, I didn’t want it to come to this. Do I really need to kill another one of your friends? Just so that you finally listen to what I want?” Kaiden asks, feigning hurt.

“No!” I yell, “Please! Don’t! I’ll go with you, I promise… I’ll do whatever you want. Just please don’t kill him.” I plead.

“Aliauna don’t! Don’t you dare go with him to save me!” Tyler yells at me.

I turn to the rest of my team, they look to me to tell them what to do next. A stray tear rolls down my cheek, I’ve failed them… again. “Don’t try and stop me, don’t follow me, and don’t try to rescue me just to die trying.” I order my team.

I turn back to Kaiden and Tyler, “How do I know you will let Tyler go once I go with you?” I ask.

“Once you and I leave, Ryan here will let your little friends go. And if Ryan doesn’t return to me within the hour, I’ll kill you.” Kaiden states.

‘I’m sorry Ali but if they block me from you I need you to have this memory’ Asuna says to me before the memory of my daughter possibly being alive comes flooding back.

“Ok.” I whisper shaking away those feelings needing to focus. A steady stream of silent tears slide down my face now.

“Aliauna! DON’T! Don’t do this! NO!!” Tyler pleads, making me cry more.

I walk forward towards Kaiden, once I get to him, he whispers in my ear, “You will suffer the consequence for falling in love with someone else.”

I won’t give him the luxury of seeing any more emotion or reaction from me than he already has, so I just stand there numb, while tears continue to slide down my cheeks and off my face.

Kaiden turns me around, so that my back is to him, he puts his arm around my waist and pulls my close. I look at my team, for probably the last time, Esme is crying, tears well up in Mateo’s eye, Eric and Kyle stand with much respect in their eyes, and Tyler is crying angry tears, yet they all listen to my orders and do not intervene. It's painful to have them look at me like this, I mouth ‘I’m sorry’ before I feel a prick in my neck.

The world around me starts to spin, before I black out Kaiden smashed a vial of black liquid on the ground, and a cloud of black smoke engulfs us.

-Tyler’s POV-

The world around me is silent as I watched Aliauna surrender herself into the arms of Death himself. I cry angry tears, unable to believe that I may never see her again. The love of my life, mate or not, I can never love anyone the way I love Aliauna Malloy. If only she could believe someone could truly love her, when one has been through and suffered what she has, I guess ‘love’ isn’t something you’d really believe in.

Kaiden injects Ali with something and then smashes a vial on the ground, black smoke engulfs them and when it settles they’re gone. Gone, she’s f*****g gone… again.

Esme screams, I look over to see her collapse to the ground and cry, Eric is quick to cover her exposed body with his shirt while attempting to console her. Mateo looks torn on what to do, and Kyle is standing guard as if unsure that we were safe.

“I’m gonna let you go, don’t be stupid, or he will kill Miss Malloy.” Ryan, the vampire holding me, says. He lowers the sliver blade from my throat and backs away.

I turn around and glare at him, “Give your boss a message for me, tell him I’m coming for him, and I’m gonna f*****g kill him.”

The vampire just laughs before pulling out a vial of black liquid and doing the same as Kaiden, disappearing to who f*****g knows where.

I walk over to some dead vampires and take their pants, tossing a pair to Mateo before putting a pair on myself. I wipe any remaining tears from my face before turning to the team.

“We’re gonna find her, and get her back, I promise.” I say to them, “First, we have to find out how they knew we were here.”

“I think I have an idea, and if I’m right, I’m gonna f*****g kill him.” Esme says angrily. She gets up and wipes her tears, before she heads back into the club.

The guys and I follow her, we get many stares from the people still dancing and drinking, I mean I’d stare too if five bloody and bruised people, four of which were not fully clothed walked by me.

Esme walks right up to the bar and slams on the counter, “Where’s Robby?” She snarls. A bartender just points to a door. She walks up to the door before turning to the guys and I. “Tyler, you come with me, the rest of you go wait in the vehicles, we’ll be there in a minute.”

They don’t argue and do as told. Esme opens the door, inside is some sort of office. The bouncer who let us in, Robby, has some chick pinned against a wall with his tongue shoved down her throat.

They look at us, “What the hell, Esy?” Robby says.

“Get out.” Esme growls at the chick. The girl runs out the door and I close it behind her. Esme turns the lights on.

“Esy? What are you doing? What do you need?” Robby asks, seemingly annoyed that his little ‘toy’ was chased away.

“Robby, you know if you ever lie to me, I will make sure you suffer… long and hard. If you tell the truth, your death will be quick and painless, well mostly.” Esme tells him. She’s actually pretty scary.

“What are you talking about? Esy I-”

“Enough with the ‘Esy’ bullshit, ok? I know what you f*****g did. I can’t believe it, you know we protected you, all for you to go back to a f*****g clan.” Esme interrupts him.

“I’m sorry Esme, but just like a wolf needs a pack, a vampire needs a clan. And I made sure that you’d be safe.” Robby attempts to reason.

“Will someone tell me what the f**k is going on?” I ask.

“Go on, Robby, tell him.”

“When you guys walked in, and I saw the other girl you were with, I recognized her, from a thing that was sent out by one of my clan's ally clans leader. He was looking for this girl, claimed she was his Queen. Since, a while ago, I left the clan but was let to rejoin, I figured calling this in would be a way back into good graces. I made sure that Esme would be safe, and I pleaded that no one else would be harmed. I’m sorry!”

I’m seething with rage, and so is Esme.

“Well, guess what, Robby, we were harmed, and Aliauna, that other girl, he might kill her, and he’s definitely gonna do worse things to her!” Esme yells at him, before going to lunge at him, but I stop her.

“Esme, believe me when I say I wanna kill him just as bad, if not more than you, but he may be able to get us to Kaiden, and if he can get us to Kaiden, he can get us to Aliauna. C’mon, we’ll bring him back to the house and put him in the dungeons.” I explain to her.

We head out to the trucks with Robby, I put him in the back of my truck and Esme sits beside him, Eric gets in the passenger seat, and I get in the driver seat. Mateo drives Aliauna’s truck with Kyle as his passenger.

When we get back to our house, Esme takes Robby down to a cell in the basement. When Esme comes back upstairs, her knuckles are bruised, she hit him.

“Everyone, go get changed. Meet in the basement in ten minutes, we’re gonna find Aliauna and bring her home.” I tell the team.

I head up to my room and strip the disgusting pants off of me, I go into my closet and throw on a pair of grey sweatpants and a hoodie. Once I'm dressed, I sit on my bed and put my head in my hands.

‘We need to find our Moon!’ Tio whimpers in my mind.

‘You don’t think I know that!’ I snap back and block him out, needing quiet.

After a minute, I go over to my desk and pick up a photo, Aliauna and I on my seventeenth birthday. She asked me what I wanted, and I said I wanted a memory that lasted forever, kind of joking because all I wanted was her. Anyway, she got some instant photo camera thing and Kayleigh took the photo for us. Aliauna hoped on my back and has a party hat on in the photo, I’m standing and smiling while holding her up. f**k, what I would do to just go back to that day.

I head down to the basement and meet the rest of the team in the couch area. Eric sits on the love seat with Mateo perched on the arm, Kyle sits comforting Esme on the couch, and I sit down in the armchair.

“Can someone explain why the bouncer who let us in the club is here?” Mateo asks.

“He’s the reason Ali was taken. He turned her in.” Esme growls. She's definitely gonna kill him after.

“That f*****g bastered.” Mateo snarls.

“I agree, and I want to rip his throat out for it… but, he can get us to her.” I say as calmly as possible.

“I’ll go in and get information.” Esme offers.

“I don’t feellike we’ll get any information if he’s dead.” Eric speaks up, as if he’s annoyed at Esme.

“Shut the f**k up, Eric!” Esme shouts.

“Hey! I don’t know what happened between you two, but figure it the f**k out. I need your guy's complete focus to get Aliauna back. So deal with your s**t. And I’m going in to get information, and once we no longer need him, Esme can do as she pleases with him.” I say to the team. Eric and Esme both huff, but don’t protest.

I leave the room and head into the cells. We have five separate cells, each big enough to house three people comfortably. The only one down here is Robby because we don’t usually need our cells, he’s in the first cell.

Robby is chained to a chair in the middle of the room, ready for interrogation. He has a black eye, split eyebrow, and split lip, Esme definitely hit him. I open the door and don’t bother to close it.

“So, this is how this is gonna go, Robby,” I sneer, “I need answers to my questions. You are going to answer them, truthfully, because if you don’t, it’s going to end worse for you. Got it?”

I don’t wait for an answer, and start my questions right away. “Where is Aliauna? Where did they take her?”

“I don’t know.” Robby says.

I punch him in the face, “I asked, where is she?” I say again.

“I don’t know!” He yells then turns his head waiting for another blow.

“Alright, who did you tell.” I ask.

“My clan leader, Simon NightStar of the NightStar Clan.” He whispers.

This was too easy, “You’re pathetic, you just gave up your clan, your family, because of a punch.” I walk out of the cell and close the door.

“My clan is no family, and neither is the one your precious mate is heading for.” He says as I lock the cell.

“She’s not my mate.” I whisper.

“Sure seems like it.”

I walk away and go back to the team.

“So, where's our girl?” Mateo speaks up.

“He doesn’t know, but he told me who he told. Simon NightStar, leader of the NightStar Clan. Let’s go find this motherfucker.”
