CHAPTER 96
Tyler and I ran inside the house and grabbed what we could as fast as we could and Grayson was waiting for us in the SUV as soon as we got out the house and he drove us to the airport.
We boarded the private jet and took off immediately.
“Do we know how much damage there is yet? How many people are there?” Dean asked.
“What are they? Species?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I got the SOS from Theo. He was trying to evacuate all the women and children.” Grayson said.
“I only had that one training session with the kids. I didn’t have a chance to teach them anything of value.” I said.
“We had to take down that facility. You said that you were going to go back and start hammering their training into them. Toughen them up.” Tyler said.
But I turned to look out the window knowing that there was a lot more that I could do.
And right now, we didn’t even know what the hell we were running into. I mean, there were so many things that I still had to teach them.
It was for this exact purpose but now they couldn’t even protect themselves, let alone anyone else that they might be with. Younger kids, their siblings.
I was anxious the whole way back to Alaska and as soon as we landed, Koda got in the driver’s seat because we knew that he would get us there faster while Grayson was in the
front.
I slid in the middle of Dean and Tyler and we started speeding back to the pack, almost losing control of the car several times because of the black ice that was on the ground.
But we managed to get back in one piece and Koda pulled up in the middle of the town.
We all got out of the car and looked around to see that it was completely empty.
No one came out to see us, no one attacked us. There was absolutely no one.
I ran towards my house and I burst inside and down to the basement.
Rory was still locked up, but I ran back upstairs and looked around my house. There was no
one there.
The triplets were at the packhouse looking for their mother and Grayson went to Theo’s house.

But everyone came out empty. No one was around.
I turned towards town and I started running into all of the businesses and checked them out completely. To make sure no one was hiding out the back of the building or anything like that.
Grayson and the triplets checked the shelter but they came up empty there as well.
“This doesn’t make sense.” I said.
“None of it does.” Grayson said.
“Where are the bodies? If they were attacked, where are the bodies? We weren’t here so they wouldn’t have kept the pack alive. They would have killed everyone looking for us.” I said.
“I never thought of that. There’s no bodies. Not even along the treelines.” Koda said.
“Then where the hell did everyone go?” Dean asked.
“They have to be somewhere. Do you think Theo could have evacuated them and taken them
somewhere else?” I asked.
“It’s possible. We were looking at different locations in case this one was compromised. After we heard about the impending war when we thought that these people were only after the triplets.” Grayson said.
“Do you know which place he liked the most? That’s where he would have led them.”
“If they got out. They could be being held hostage somewhere.” Tyler said.
“It would have taken a lot of people to control that amount of wolves.” Grayson said. But I
looked around at the abandoned town.
“Not necessarily. It depends on what attacked them.” I said.
I walked over to one of the buildings and I bent down to see a scorched patch on the ground
that had gone through the melted snow, right next to the diner.
“Witches?” Grayson asked.
“Or fae. It would have to be a very powerful fae though.” I said.
“Why’s that?” Dean asked.
“Fae’s aren’t as powerful as witches. But the elder fae’s can be.” I explained.
I turned back to look at the guys and I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye.
I ran to the triplets and stood in front of Grayson as someone came out from between a
couple of houses.

I wasn’t sure who it was at first, but I was ready for them. Whoever it was.
But as soon as I got a good look, I stood up straight and I lowered my hands.
“Lexie.” I yelled.
She stumbled out from between her house and the packhouse but she was bleeding a lot from
the face and the stomach.
I ran over to her and I caught her before she fell.
“What the hell happened?” I asked, holding her in my arms.
“You need to go. Get the triplets and get the hell out of here.” She said.
“What are you talking about? Who did this?”
“I don’t know. They were powerful. They’re still here. I hid because I knew that you would be coming back.” Lexie said.
“Where is everyone else?” I asked.
“Theo got as many people out as he could. He said that the Alpha would know where.” Lexie said. So I looked up at the Alpha and he nodded his head.
“It’s alright. We’re gonna get you some help.” I said.
“The Alpha can help me. You and the triplets need to get the hell out, now. You know what to
do.” She said.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“Parallel.” She said.
“She’s right. You have to go.” Grayson said.
He moved around in front of me and he took Lexie out of my arms and he lifted her up in his
arms.
“I’ll make sure that she’s alright. But if they’re still here, you four need to leave.” Grayson said.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Koda asked, getting frustrated because they couldn’t understand what the hell we were talking about.
I looked at the triplets and then I looked back at Grayson.
“Get her out of here now. Her father is a doctor. He will save her.” I said. And Grayson nodded
his head.
“Be careful boys. Look out for each other. We’ll be here when you get back.” Grayson said,

turning around and leaving with Lexie.
“Nova. You are really starting to worry us.” Tyler said.
“You should be.” I said, looking past them.

They turned around and they saw people emerging from the woods and out from behind
buildings and houses where they had been waiting to get us exactly where they wanted us.
“Who are they?” Tyler asked.
“Witches.” I said.
“Can you fight them?” Dean asked.
“There’s too many.” I said, looking around.
I stepped towards the triplets and I held on to Tyler and Dean and ordered Koda to grab a hold
of my shirt.
They didn’t know what the hell was going on, but they didn’t argue with me.
I closed my eyes and started concentrating, muttering latin to myself.
Suddenly it felt like we were lifted off the ground but only seconds later we landed on the ground again really hard.
I opened my eyes and we were still in the same town, but all the witches were gone.
“What the f**k just happened?” Koda asked.
“We’re in the Parallel universe. A different realm. It looks the same as ours, but it’s not.” I said.
“Holy s**t. So, dad and the others aren’t here?” Tyler asked.
“No. We’re on our own.” I said, looking around at the once again abandoned town.
