Mabels mouth opened, frozen in a silent scream.

Her legs burned with heat, as whips as loud as thunder thrashed against her thighs.

Danny had pushed her onto her knees, taping her hands and feet together.

The more she cried the more he hurt her.

After 32 whips he paused his torture and threw the whip to the corner of the torture room, a room Mabel thanked the goddess her friends weren't familiar with.

He walked towards her and slid a finger down the side of her throat.

" you're neck is absolutely delicious looking." Danny said in his croaky voice, oh how Mabel was repulsed by his voice.

"Don't frown at me babe, it only makes me want you more" Danny gurgled.

Mabels eyebrows raised slightly, confused. She had never considered herself stupid but what was he talking about?

"I want you under me. Screaming in pain and covered in my cum, I want you to be in so much pain that you beg me to stop, oh and you'll flutter your big eyes at me and tears will run down your face in what I can only imagine be love, for me." Danny whispered getting closer and closer.

Mabels thighs bleed from the whip marks as they opened further as she tried to crawl away from him.

Danny grabbed her hair and pulled her back, making a scream rise in her throat and break free.

Danny laughed as they screamed in pain, he grabbed her legs and threw her to the floor, making her land on her stomach, her thighs scratching against the concrete floor, creating added irritation.

He got on top of her back and whipped her hair to the side, staring eagerly at her.

Slowly he began to carve into her neck , so slowly that as she screamed, her friends later recounted, they heard a howl of pain mixing with the high terror of the human voice.

Danny dug his knife in deeper the harder she screamed. Mabel was sure if he went any deeper he would cut her throat open.

All of a sudden he was off of her back and pulling her up by her neck, fingering the wound he had created. Her tattered shirt soaked in her blood.

He marched from the torture room to her cell, digging his finger into her neck the more she whimpered.

Outside of the cell door he turned to her and smirked.

"Hope you like it" he whispered into her ear before opening the door and pushing her in, before closing it and locking it again. Mabel collapsed to the floor.

She looked up only to be met with the horrified eyes of Penny.

"He-help" Mabel whispered, lifting her arm up and gripping her aching neck with the other.

Soter rushed to her side to help her, but Penny quickly turned and snarled at him causing him to hiss at her and back away.

Pennys eyes glowed bright purple as she growled at everyone around her.

"No one touches the Luna." She growled before swiftly taking off her shirt leaving her in her bra and turning to Mabel. She made sure everyone's eyes were averted from the Luna before she jumped into action and dressed her in her shirt and looking at the whip marks on her thighs.

"I can help, I always help. I can take her pain." Soter whispered, feeling horrible at the sight of Mabel in pain. He rushed to Mabels side and glared at Penny as she growled.

He slowly placed both hands on her thighs as she weakly tried to push him off.

"Mabe stop it. I'm trying to help you alright? Stop." Soter said painfully, feeling her pain as if it was his own.

He quickly placed his hands back on her thighs and leaned his head against hers. A little glow formed around his hands and his veins blackened, the only sound in the room being Soters whispers of encouragement to her.

Slowly he took is hands away and looked down to see she no longer had bloody thighs but did have slight scars.

"M-my ne-neck T. M-my neck hu-hurts." She gasped out, her neck beginning to cause her such pain that her eyesight began to waver.

Everyone in the rooms eyes shot to her throat as she slowly revealed it.

Ame gasped and huddled into her mother's body as Oria clutched Ame, tears filling her eyes.

Penny's eyes hardened and Soters teeth hurt, a sign that his vampire sensed stress.

Written on Mabels neck in deep marks read:

Everyone knew that having another wolves mark on your neck, be it bite or otherwise, would be crucial to your relationship with your mate. Mabel is only lucky that Soter can soothe it, hopefully take it away.

Soter placed his hands over her stained throat and put all of his energy towards healing her.

As he brought his hands away, exhaustion filled him and he hit the ground, blacking out. Mabel slowly fell next to him in fatigue and soon they were both fast asleep on the floor as Ame, Oria and Penny looked at them.

"They do this every time she lets him heal her" Ames little voice whispered.

Penny nodded and slowly lifted Mabels shirt in an attempt to see the scar.

Penny's heart clenched as she saw the initials still carved into her skin, although you would really have to search the area to find the word, it was still there.

Penny sighed in half relief that Danny's mark was no longer there.

The Alpha was going to kill Danny, not her, but everyone in this godforsaken place who isn't in the cell they were in right now.

He was going to start a war.

And he was going to win.

**

Adonis stood in front of his warriors.

They had taken an open field, all of them huddled together- eager to hear the words of their alpha.

Liam had gathered them in a matter of minutes and they were waiting for orders as Adonis looked at them.

"I am going to cut to the story. We have successfully located our Luna." Adonis said, locking eyes with different warriors, searching for reactions.

The warriors all rejoiced at the announcement.

Cheers could be heard miles away and Adonis' heart warmed at the sight.

"Enough." Adonis said one word and the army fell silent, smiles pulled on their faces and looks of anticipation in their eyes.

"I would like to thank The Unkindness for locating her, especially Aspen Saturn, a wolf of the aeque pack who is yet to join our pack to be with her mate, Karmichael Herrmann, but still displays loyalty beyond belief. Aspen is currently being held hostage along with my mate in no mans land. We will storm their base tonight. We will kill with no regrets. Say your goodbyes to your loved ones- we are going in with our eyes closed. We don't know how much people are there and we don't know how high the death toll will be, but we do know that we will be coming back with our Luna." Adonis announced, the anxiousness to see his mate growing by the second.

Arthur placed a hand on Adonis' right shoulder as Liam places a hand on his other one.

"Memento Mori" Adonis bellows, standing tall as warriors of all ages kneel in front of him in respect and awe. (Translation: remember that you must die.)

"Ac mori nos oportet" the crowd echoed back, making Adonis nod in respect. Adonis believed respect went both ways, so if his Warriors would pledge their loyalty and reverence to him then they deserve his respect. (Translation: and to die we must.)

After a minute or two Adonis called for his army to stand.

After ordering them to say their goodbyes he went to fix himself up.

He was going to see Mabel for the first time in three years, he needed to look good for her.

She is going to hate my tattoos and scars, Adonis thought to himself while looking at his arms. Both arms were full of different sorts of drawings. One arm was filled with memorials for his dead loved ones, a quote saying "you will always be in my heart, my mind, and in your grave" filled the top of his arm, with stars surrounding it, each star representing someone he had loved and lost. The lower part of his arm had flowers and a bee along with Mabels initials on his wrist. It was beautiful. His left however was a total different story, with snakes and lions etched onto the skin. He had a red snake trailing up his forearm and wrapped around his elbow, but everything up from that was a lion that had half a lions normal face and half a lions skull.

Adonis also had tattoos on his fingers, angel numbers. Those had been his second tattoos after Mabels initials. His favourite tattoo was her bee. She had always loved honey.

The most simplest tattoo he had was of two sunflowers facing each other. Underneath read :

Adonis had seen somewhere that when sunflowers couldn't find the sun, they looked at each other. So he got them as a commemoration for his dead parents. He reckoned without Amethyst, James couldn't see the sun anymore, and had no sunflower to turn to. So he gave up searching.

Adonis vowed the day he got that tattoo that he would do anything and everything to get his sunflower back.

And now here he was, messing with his hair in fear that his mate was going to hate how he looked.

Suddenly a pain erupted on his neck, Adonis gripped it as his heart tightened in his chest.

He groaned out loud in obvious pain as he began to itch at his skin. It felt as if it was burning.

Excors said

Adonis didn't know whether to rejoice or wreck his room in anger.

This was the first time he felt her pain. That means her wolf is really awake and is searching for him.

If her wolf is awake then that means she must be in sudden danger, which she has been for three years.

So is her wolf really just co-

A knock was heard in Adonis' room and he walked towards the door.

He opened it to see the face of his Beta, Arthur.

"Hey Don, it's almost time to go are you ready?" He said, eyeing his outfit.

Adonis stood there in black dress pants and a matching black dress shirt.

Arthur almost questioned if the boy realised that they were going to go fight for the future Lunas freedom and that his clothes were going to inevitably get ripped.

"Don't look at me like that. I am going to change." Adonis glowered, rolling his eyes at the mans childishness.

Adonis just wanted this to be over and for Mabel to be in his arms again.

He wondered if she was still as small as he remembered.

"All right, all right! Don't bite my head off kid. So-" He went to carry on but Adonis raised an eyebrow and shut the door in his face, turning around and walking into his closet.

Shit was going to go down.

***

Mabel groaned, instinctively rubbing her hands against her eyes in fatigue.

That was the longest she had slept in three years.

Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the dull darkness that took up the room.

"Luna? How are you feeling?" Penny said, rushing forwards and helping Mabel sit up.

Mabel groaned in return and laid up against a wall.

"She says she fine but needs a second to come to her senses" Soter mumbles from the floor, his arm thrown over his eyes in an attempt to fall back to sleep.

"Thanks for that" Penny says sarcastically.

"No biggie" he responded, smirking when he realises he's annoying her.

"Listen Luna, Dux is coming alright? They'll be here soon. Home is just around the corner." Penny says to Mabel.

Mabel looks at her confusedly.

"She means to ask who Dux is" Soter interjects making Penny throw him a short glare before returning her gaze to Mabel.

"Dux is Alpha Adonis, I have made contact with him and they are coming, they're going to rescue you okay?" Penny nodded, hoping for Mabel to understand.

A small smile landed on Mabels face. She nodded and soon fell out of consciousness again, her tiredness taking over.

"How come you didn't tell us that Adonis was coming?" Soter immediately questioned once Mabel was asleep. She didn't need to hear this.

"They are not coming for you" Penny said, her voice hard with isolation.

"They aren't taking her alone. She barley knows them anymore, she remembered them like a WEEK ago. She can't go through that, I won't let you put her through that." Soter defied.

"He is her mate."

"I am her friend. I am going to protect her- whether it be her feelings or her physical health. I will not let you ruin her feelings and mix her emotions." Soter said back immediately.

"As if you have a say over what happens to her, you're a bloodsucker after all. They will be here soon."

"As if you can say much, mutt. I'm staying with her."

"I don't think Adonis will like that very much"

"Adonis can shove it up his a-"

Mabel shot forward with a gasp.

Her eyes opened and everyone gasped as light filled the room.

The once ice-like pigment of her iris had changed to a dazzling golden, so gold that it did not compare to the golden plume in which Icarus fell from the sky in.

"Adonis" she said without stuttering. Her voice flowed like a musical instrument, so slow and soft that everyone in the room questioned if she had even spoken.

"He is here. Adonis is here." She said, her golden eyes moving around the room, yet she was not able to see a things

"Adonis" she called.

"Adonis" she called louder, making everyone cover their ears. Since when could she shout so loud?.

"ADONIS" she suddenly let rip. She screamed her mates name at the top of her voice, so loud that Ame clung to Oria in fright.

Not a second later a howl was sounded as yells echoed through the building outside of the cell.

The howl shook the cell, it was filled with such excitement, anger and anticipation that even Mabel could feel the severity in it, from her half unconscious state on the floor.

The howl clearly said something.

And Mabels eyes glowed brighter.

He was telling her he was coming. He knew where she was.

And she was ready to be found.
