When It's Time

Rescuing His Love

King Andrew POV

It must be the royal alpha blood causing him to recover from his coma so quickly. By the time we reach my office he is walking fine, even at a quicker pace. We enter my office, after helping him sit I move to my desk chair. “We believe my brother is to blame for this. We have had reports of rouges joining an unknown pack for unknown reasons. Those same rouges were spotted close to the territory shortly before Olyvia was taken. Our current issue is that we cannot find where they are hidden.” I say, observing him as he seems to be realizing something. “They have a witch, she came to me while I was in a coma and told me that they are forcing her to help them and that they are closer than we think. Are there any places near the territory that held a pack once but are now considered abandoned?” Jax informs me, causing me to think. Looking at the map on the wall, I feel as though it was right in front of me the whole time. “Yes, the pack that my brother invaded years back and committed the crime that got him banished. It’s not far but being as though they have a witch helping them it would make sense that we have been unable to find them previously. They must have something dear to the witch as they feel as though helping do evil things will cause them to be punished. There is most likely a ward up preventing us from detecting them but unknown to them I have made friends with quite a few witches in my years.” I say before picking my phone up and dialing a number. Hanging up at the first ring my son looks at me with questions in his mind. I hold my hand up signaling him to wait, not long after my favorite witch appears in a cloud of smoke. “Andrew, can’t you just call like a normal person? I did this spell for emergencies, not chit-chat.” the strange woman scolds him. “This is an emergency Nancy. My son's mate was kidnapped by my brother and we need a way past their wards unseen.” I tell her, crossing my arms in frustration. She may be my favorite but she knows how to get on my nerves. We have been friends since we were children, uncaring to the taboo of being friends with each other. The witches and my father were not on good terms until I took rein and formed alliances with them, Nancy helping a lot with them. “Of course, take me near the land.” she says before walking out, somehow knowing exactly where we are going.

Jax POV

“I can get through this, give me three days time. There is a lot of force behind this ward so prepare your army as well.” is all she says before disappearing again in another cloud. Dad leads us back to his office where he begins preparing for the fight that is sure to happen. “I want to join, allow me to train and show I am recovered.” I tell my father, smiling at his nod of approval before going to my trainer, telling him not to go easy on me. After getting my ass handed to me a few times I begin to get back into my groove. “That’s enough for today, go rest.” he tells me, Dawson being frustrated at how everyone dismisses me. ‘We are fine, we are not sickly.’ he growls in my mind, ‘Calm down, most werewolves don’t come back from a coma as quickly or easily as we have.’ I responded, getting a huff in return. I go to my room and begin my nightly routine of showering, shaving, and brushing my teeth. I lay down and quickly fall into a deep sleep, going back to the strange darkness from my coma. “Listen closely. She is in the cells and he wants her power. Avoid unleashing it until you’ve defeated him otherwise you’re screwed. Be fast, precise, and plan carefully. Remember seven hundred.” I hear the same voice from before, thankfully waking up after. I look outside noticing it is dawn and begin my way to the kitchen to help with breakfast. After quickly eating I head to train, which becomes my life until we leave to rescue my mate. A day later, my hard work pays off, “I approve. You have shown that you are still as capable as ever. You will lead this rescue.” I hear my father say. “The witch came to me again, she said remember seven hundred and that she is in the cells. We must be fast to prevent her full power from unleashing.” I tell him as we walk to his office. “Seven hundred. Sounds like she's trying to help us.” he tells me before turning to the maid, “Inform the general to expect seven hundred or more enemies.” he commands her before we arrive at his office, sitting across from each other. “Let’s plan.” he says as he takes out the map and plans of attack.

Olyvia POV

“Psst” I whisper to a friendly guard, “How long has it been?” I ask. “Almost six months, though I’ve heard word that the witch has become restless.” He tells me. I never learned his name to prevent him from being seen as an ally to me. He has already pledged to help me as much as possible and has volunteered to guard me personally. I am thankful, though it means he has had to beat me occasionally. “I won’t hit hard from now on, but you must act as if I am.” I remember the words he told me after the first time. ‘We will save him.’ Mia tells me before retreating again. It seems as if she is preparing for something as she has been resting more than normal. Suddenly the guard looks at me in a mixture of shock and fear, “Your mate is here, I am to kill anyone who comes for you. That I will not do, but please get my mate. I have not told anyone until now that the witch is my mate though I believe the Alpha somehow knows. Save her.” he tells me before looking towards the door as screams, growls, and whimpers can be heard from outside.
