I move quickly through the halls as there is a burning sensation running through my chest, something was wrong, something is incredibly wrong with her. With Amelia. I didn't know what it was but on the inside I had a pit deep in my stomach and I could feel my wolf pacing anxiously inside.

"Pardon me," I mutter as I barely miss a servant with a pile of clothing as I round the corner towards the medic bay.

I push the two oak doors open. "Mutter, what's going on?" I ask her approaching the bed.

She looks at me in surprise as I reach the bedside where Amelia lay looking peaceful but extremely pale.

"How-" she's interrupted by the doors once again opening and the prince along with his mother entering the room. The prince moving past me as if I weren't there and kneeling by her side taking one hand and staring at her fixedly.

I turn to her majesty. "My Queen, what happened?"

She covers her mouth with one hand shaking her head. "I don't know, we were having a talk and then she collapsed."

"Was there nothing else? Were you drinking or eating anything?"

She blinks as if trying to recall and then she looks me in the eyes. "Just before a servant brought us water."

I turn to one of the other guards and beckon him forward. "Bring all the servants that were to be attending to her majesty and the lady today."

"Sir." He nods leaving the room.

"She's so cold..." Whispers the prince and then he looks up at, Mutter. "Can we get her some more blankets please?"

She looks at him somberly, but nods and complies.

He continues holding her hand and stroking her hair, no doubt whispering to her in their mental link.

"Your highness," I turn to the Queen, "I will find the one's responsible for this."

She smiles. "I've no doubt you will," and then her gaze turns a little curious. "But how did you know something was wrong, I kept this between myself, my son, and the few guards none of the den had been alerted yet."

Should I tell her that I could feel it as if it was my own pain? Like I was the one blacking out?

"It was just a gut feeling," I bow once, "I'll take my leave."

She gives me one last look but nods going to her son's side and placing a hand on his shoulder.

I head out of the oak doors and are greeted with the sight of Elder Leopard and Alpha Nickoli heading towards me. I close the door firmly behind me and stand in front of it arms crossed. I'd been in my head so much I'd forgotten that they were still guests here.

"Alpha, Elder, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Erik, we heard that the future Luna had fallen ill and we're coming to check on her." Says the Elder.

My eyes dart between both of them. "Now would not be the best time. The prince is currently in there with the Queen and they have asked to be left alone."

Alpha Nickoli tries and push pass me. "Don't be ridiculous, she is-" I stop him holding my arm out.

I scoff. "Don't you dare say it... Don't you dare say that she's your daughter. Your family... You both lost that right when you abandoned she and her mother." I look at him, my eyes, I'm sure, reflecting my wolf.

"Why you insolent, boy. How dare you speak to your superior that way!" Says the elder coming towards me, but Alpha Nickoli stops him.

"No. The boy is right, he's just doing what he's been ordered and what he's been taught. To protect his own." He goes back to the elders side. "We'll be taking our leave now. You have a good evening."

"You as well," by the time I've said this the elder had already gone of in a whirl and the Alpha behind him.

I signal two more guards to my side. "You, two guard the door. No one goes in without my or their highness permission. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sir." They both say taking their posts.

Now to figure out what she's been doing...
***
The library entrance smells of old paper and the beams of light from the torches cast a slightly warm glow across the room causing shadows to dance across the walls and massive shelves.

And like always the old lady was no where to be found.

"Granny! Are you here?" I say.

"What is it you need, boy?" Says an elderly voice behind me causing me to jump slightly. I had to stop myself from cursing.

"How do you do that?" I ask, as she circles around the desk.

She smiles a coy smile. "I've been around a lot longer than you cub, there are still many things you need to learn as an Alpha." Her smile disappears, "but that's not why you're here, to learn my secrets but rather those of a certain she-wolf."

"What has she been searching for in here?"

"Come with me, everything is where she left it."

"You mean like the last time I found her?"

She nods. "You remember the way?"

I nod.

"Then go on. But you may not like nor understand what you might find."

Taking her warning in mind I head back through the maze of shelves though this time without the assistance of her scent to guide me there, though it wasn't completely gone it was still stale enough to say she hadn't been here for at least a week.

Finally I arrive at the space and light the little oil lamp on that rested on the table.

All around me were old bound leather books like the last time but they seemed to have multiplied.

I take a seat and pick one that seemed to have her scent linger a little longer than the rest. It was open already to a page, it was full of diagrams and pictures.

Seeming to show three people with symbols, the symbols that Amelia had on her body. One of the symbols, the sun was under the figure on the right and the moon was under the person on the left and both symbols were under the person in the middle.

Could that be Milla? What does all of this mean?

I find words among the picture. Just a sentence mind you but it was something. 'The sun is to guard it's charge in the light and the moon to love gently, glowing at night. Both protectors come as one for the one great wolf."

Well that couldn't have gotten any more cryptic... What-or who rather- are the Sun and Moon?

I sigh putting down the book.

"Erik,"

"What's going on Orion?"

"Winston and Ara are back,"

"I'll be right there, they need to know of the situation,"

"We'll wait here then."

The connection cuts off and I push myself off of the ground and make my way through to the front of the library.

"Did you find what you were looking for cub?" Says the old book keeper with out looking up from the book she was restoring, despite her age her hands were nimble handling the needle and thread.

I turn away from the door. "I don't know what I've found..."

"Don't worry cub, she'll make her return when the time is right." She gives me a small smile before returning to her work. "Now go cub, your friends are back right?"

I look at her warily. "Right..."

What else does she know?

I leave the room heading towards the entrance half way there I run into Winston, Ara, and Orion.

I smile. "Welcome back, I see it was successful." I say looking at Winston.

He slightly smirks his eyes flashing. "It was,"

I clasp forearms with him. "Well I welcome you brother, I would like to celebrate more but we've got a problem on our hands."

"What is it?" asks Ara her guard immediately going up.

"It's Amelia, I think someone's tried to kill her,"

Ara growls her body immediately taking a defensive position. From the corner of her shirt I can see a scar, not like the other ones.

It seems he was successful in more ways than one...

"Who dares? Is she alright?" She inquires, angrily.

"She's stable just unconscious for the past couple of hours, we don't know when she might wake. I have guards posted on her and the prince and her royal highness are currently with her."

"That's good... Can we go see her?" Winston asks clearly concerned.

I nod. "Come with me,"

Suddenly there is a commotion coming from the direction of the medical bay, female screaming and commotion.

Amelia!

I sprint off with the others close behind in no time we're at the entrance to the med bay. I push past the two guards into the room to meet the sight of Amelia struggling against the hold of Leo who was trying to calm her down.

"Let go of me you heathen!" She spits at him.

I look to mother. "What's going on here?"

She looks at me wide eyed, clearly a little frightened for the girl she saw as her daughter. "She woke up and just started screaming, letting no one near her. Leonardo trying to calm her has seem to made it worse,"

Amelia hops off of the bed swinging at Leo and growling deeply. Baring her teeth at all of us.

I knew how this could get if she was to get serious.

"Everyone back off... Give her space, slowly," everyone does what I ask except for the prince, "your highness."

He looks at me reluctantly with his jaw clenched and joins his mother's side. You could practically see the anxiety rolling off of him and that was defiantly not going to help the situation.

I take off all of my weapons, place them on the ground and begin to approach her slowly.

"What are you doing?" Hisses Ara.

"Just trust me, okay,"

She doesn't respond but I hear her make a slight noise of annoyance and disapproval from behind me.

"Amelia, look at me," I call gently.

Her attention snaps to me, her chest heaving. "You're going to be okay, you're among friends. No one is going to harm you, Milla." I hold out one of my hands.

She stares at me a little longer and her body posture relaxes as she slowly approaches me her gaze questioning as if she wasn't sure of what she saw and then her eyes widen and she runs towards me.

I shut my eyes ready for the attack, but it never comes instead when I open my eyes I find her securely hugging my middle. I could feel the stares on the back of my head.

"It is you, it is truly you! I thought I would never see you again, my beloved!" She squeezes onto me tighter.

I take my hands and gently put her at arms length from me. She looks at me with a confused and slightly hurt gaze.

"Milla, what are you talking about?"

She looks even more confused. "I don't know of this, 'Milla' person you speak of. I am Luna and this is my vessel."
