Dungeon Visits

Chapter 19

Dungeon Visits

Everyone in the pack was gathered together as they buried their loved ones. Mates cried as they held onto their children and parents cried because they lost their children. The pack cried together because they’re all one big family.

After the burial ceremony the pack came together for a family dinner and to raise a glass for all who went back home to the goddess.

“We may have said goodbye to our loved ones, but they are not truly gone. They wait for us on the moon as they watch and guide us. The Moon Goddess loves her children and when our time comes, we’ll reunite with our family, friends, and soul mates. Let us raise a glass to family, love, and togetherness”, Xander spoke loud and clear to the pack.

“Let us eat together and comfort one another. Tomorrow we’ll have a few announcements to make. Thank you”, Xavier added.

After dinner, Cora decided to take Glan home to be buried in Andora, after tomorrow's announcements. Lee will be left in charge for the next two days as all the royals will leave to mourn their beloved King Glan. Loralei and her mates decided to stay in Andora, but they haven't told their parents yet. It would be safer for them and the pups.

Before leaving Cora called a small meeting, asking that Orion, Mariana and her family, and their children be present. Farrah had been in the hospital recovering from dehydration and  doctor Genesis wanted to do a full check up. Farrah had been missing for two decades, her health was a priority. She was finally given the all clear and was being discharged.

Mariana POV

This damn week has been hell, with Aria getting kidnapped and then my daughter in law as well, the pack has been on high alert. As I looked at my beautiful newborn daughter I was grateful to her, Lilith Grace kept me sane. I wanted to kill everyone and find my daughter and goddaughter, but little Lilith decided to come a few weeks earlier.

My mate lost it when we learned Aria was kidnapped, he went even more crazy when I went into labor. Not that I blamed him, so I made him look for our daughter. I was safe at the pack, he could not help me give birth but he could help find Aria. When Sienna came to the hospital to shield us, I knew we were under attack.

We haven't had an attack of that magnitude in years and never from vampires. What the hell was going on. When Loralei returned with my daughter I felt like I could breath again and I knew Jack did too. Only Loralei was kidnapped right after, I wanted nothing more than to leave the damn hospital and find her, but I knew I was in no condition to do that.

I knew our son and Trent lost it, they had to literally be put to sleep. It just seemed that things just got worse for my family and when my son felt his mate getting raped the entire pack saw red, revenge was the only thing that they looked forward to. Selene and Nahla are more like sisters to me, so when I learned that Glan died my heart broke, he was a second father to me. My father was currently in Andora, but was just told to come to the pack for a meeting. I assume it has to do with all that has happened recently, especially since he just lost his best friend.

“Come to daddy, princess”, Lee cooed as he grabbed our daughter from my arms. I couldn't help but smile, Lee held a hand out and helped me up.

“The meeting will be starting soon”, he led us to the office of our Alphas.

The minute I walked in I smelled the most familiar scent, salted taffy. When my eyes found the source of the smell I thought I was going to pass out. Was I seeing a ghost?

“Hi sweet girl”, the voice of the angel spoke out to me. I stood frozen, my brain couldn't even process it quick enough.

After several long seconds I spoke, “Mom?”, my voice unsure and shaky.

The woman nodded her head, I ran the few steps to her and began crying, how was my mom still alive? She smelled the same and looked the same, her face looked a bit sunken in, like she’s had a hard few decades. She was still so beautiful though. She stroked my hair as I cried into her, holding her tightly as if she were going to disappear.

“Let your mom breath sweetie”, I heard my dads voice.

I looked up, realizing for the first time that he was here, standing next to mom. My children just stared, not really knowing what to do. I could scarcely believe it, if I hadn’t seen it for myself, I’d think she was a ghost. When I felt her touch my hair, I knew she was real.

I took a step back but held her hand, “Mom what happened, we thought you were dead, we felt you die”, I asked.

She smiled sadly, “Come sit”, everyone sat down.

I finally looked around the room, my Alpha’s, Luna’s, their children, my children, Ava and her parents and Garrett were here. Why was Garrett here?

“It’s a long story, but when I refused to tell Evanora where Isla was she kept me prisoner. When we felt her die, I knew that Ava was born. After the evil witch learned of Ava’s existence she tortured me for months”, mom explained, the sad look in her eyes had me instantly angry.

“That fucking bitch”, I spat out, when we found her, I was going to kill her myself. Lee handed Lilith to Aria to hold and came to calm me down. After a few minutes mom continued.

“I had a dream one night, it was so vivid that I can still recall every single detail of it. I knew my dream was showing me my destiny. A man helped me escape Aradia and I ended up in Romania”, everyone was so engrossed in the tale. Romania, that’s where the Princess was being held captive.

“I took a job as a maid for Lord Marcelo, my dream showed me that I was to help the future Queen of Andora when the time came”, she explained.

“You were the one who helped Loralei escape?”, I asked, mom just nodded.

“Why didn’t you ever let us know you were alive? Why did we feel you die? And who was the man that helped you escape Evanora?”, I fired my questions at her.

My mind was reeling, I was happy and mad, relieved but confused. “I didn't tell anyone I was alive because Evanora had kept on searching for me. I couldn't risk her hurting you or Orion. I am so sorry, but it had to happen this way. Besides I had a mission and destiny to fulfill. And you all felt me die because the man who helped me escape, he helped me break my mate bond to your father. Breaking a bond is more painful than death, so it makes sense that everyone thought I died. And to answer your last question, I don't know who the man was that helped me, but he did and I am forever grateful”, mom finished.

I took several minutes to process everything that was said and the most important thing was that my mom was alive and finally back home. Farrah the amazing witch hybrid not only saved Ava but helped save my goddaughter, and I was so grateful. I looked up at my mom, I could see the guilt in her eyes. I pulled her into my arms and just breathed her scent in. My mom has finally returned.

When I pulled away, I looked at my three children, we are so blessed. “Come and meet your grandmother”, Jack and Aria stood up, a sleeping Lilith was scooped up by my mom. And for the first time in a. Long time, my family was finally complete.         

Charlie POV

It’s been a few days since Sirus brought us to a second location. We were about three hours away from Silver Moon. I was now the Beta to Sirus and I had two goals, avenge my brother and get the love of my life. Sirus had a good amount of rogues, both wolves and merfolk. The only problem with that was that he didn't truly know how to be a leader. Soon enough though, I’ll kill him myself and take what I want.

We heard talk from the shifter bars the rogues frequented, Silver Moon was attacked by vampires. I have never known the pack I grew up in to have enemies in vampires. This was good for me though, surely I could recruit some blood suckers to help me attack Silver Moon.

No one has ever been able to take over Silver Moon, I trained my whole life there so I knew that we couldn't win. I saw the bigger picture though, we must take over the smaller packs first and over time when we had enough man power, only then did we stand a chance. In the meantime I had to come up with a plan, a distraction of sorts so that I can kill Sirus and take over.

The Mens POV

**Warning: Graphic Torture Scenes**

Xander and Xavier left their mates with their mom, Mariana, and Farrah. Garrett also refused to leave Loralei’s side, which was fine with everyone, another person to protect her. Now was time to visit the piece of shit that was currently chained to the dungeon wall with vervain laced metal.

Xander and Xavier walked in and heard Marcelo screaming in pain, it made them both smile, the bastard had a long list of people wanting to have their turn with him.

Currently Adonis and Ares stood against the wall arms crossed, Lennox sat on a metal chair, Shane and Lee were perched on the metal table, watching Trent and Jack pull off Marcelo’s finger nails with pliers. The pliers were laced with vervain and holy water, his piercing screams was music to everyones ears.

Ares and Lennox had already had their fun earlier, both had the gifts of various mental talents. They mentally tormented him and used some of the torture tools at their disposal.

Jack was currently using a thumbscrew and was breaking every single bone in every finger.

“Looks like you’ll never be able to use your hands again, not that you’ll live long enough to find out”, Jack smirked.

Using an iron spider Trent looked at Adonis who smirked, he raised his hand and heated it up. Trent ripped Marcelo’s pants off and with the hot iron with its four gripper claws he gripped it onto his penis. The screaming that came from his mouth was satisfying to everyone. And in one swift move, Trent’s grip on the handle tightened and he pulled, removing his genitalia.

“Oh Shit”, Xander and Xavier said at the same time.

“That’s going to leave a mark”, Shane chuckled.

The brother’s all “Oh’ed”, and Lee actually looked green. Marcelo actually passed out, “Adonis heal him just enough so that we can continue”, Xander said nonchalantly.

Adonis smiled “As you wish father”, his hand glowed white and he did as he was told. Adonis looked at his twin, no words needed to be spoken, Ares nodded and shot a blast of water at Marcelo to wake him up.

His eyes were wide with fear, all the confidence he once possessed gone, “You all are sick!”, Marcelo had the nerve to yell out.

All the men looked at each other, their animal counterparts  fighting for control.

“You raped my sister you sick motherfucker, but we’re sick ones?”, Lennox laughed coldly.

His Lycan Leonidas took control and shifted, with his huge muzzle he ripped one of his legs off. “Leave some limbs for us son”, his father’s mind linked him.

He raised his huge paw and let his huge ten inch claws come out. He swiped at his face, his pinky claw ripping out one of his eyeballs from its socket. He growled loudly and shifted back, Marcelo shit himself.

Adonis raised both hands allowing his shadows take place in torturing him, Ares used his telepathy opening his mind up, shadows invading Marcelo physically and mentally. He began screaming and started convulsing after several minutes. Adonis called his shadows back.

“Wasn’t he supposed to be powerful?”, Lee sarcastically said.

He stood up, it was his turn, “Let’s make this quick, I have a wife to get back to”, he said.

Lee grabbed a tongue tearer, “Your screaming has gotten on my last nerves”.

And with that Lee gripped Marcelo’s face and shoved the clamp into his mouth. He squeezed the clamp and ripped half of his tongue out. “Much better”, Lee laughed.

Marcelo tried screaming but the sound of gurgling was all that left to be heard. Lee shoved his claws into his stomach and twisted. Marcelo could do nothing as he passed out again.

“What a weak ass bitch”, Lee laughed.

He clapped his Alpha’s on the back and went to go back to his wife and daughters.

Ares shot water at him once again, Marcelo began thrashing, “You can try but you’ll never get out”, Xander said, Kade coming to the surface growling.

“He’ll get out, just not alive”, Xavier added.

Both men walked towards their prey. He began thrashing even more, but there was no way out. Xavier stepped forward and it happened so quick that no one saw it. In his hands, claws protruding he ripped the Vampire Lords testicles off. His blood and gurgling was all that left his mouth, as he drooled profusely.

Xander grabbed a pair of forceps off the table, “This will do nicely”, he walked in front of Marcelo. He pried open his mouth and using the forceps he pulled out both of his fangs.

“That was for feeding off our daughter”, he said as he began beating him to a pulp. When Marcelo was no longer recognizable he looked at his son who nodded. Adonis healed him just enough to keep his dead heart beating.

Shane stepped up, “Alpha’s, I think we should build a pyre, the sun will be rising in a few hours, what do you think?”, Shane ripped off the necklace around Marcelo’s neck, that’s what allowed him to walk in the sun.

“Now that’s a fantastic idea, Lennox get the pyre ready”, Xander laughed.

Lennox nodded and went to the middle of the training grounds and using his earth manipulation gift he made a pyre.

“In two hours, the prisoner will be burned at the stake. If you wish to bear witness, you may join your Alpha’s.” Lennox mind linked the pack.

“Yes Alpha”, the entire pack responded.

There was no way they weren’t going to watch the monster that kidnapped and raped their Alpha Princess suffer. He deserved whatever punishment was given and so much more.
