IZZY'S POV:

"Lizzy Wake up!" I slowly peal my eyes open, still dazed from sleep. I groan when I sit up. I hold my belly protectively as I look around. I see Eddie in a panic. His eyes are frantically darting at every part of the white room. "Eddie? What's wrong?"

"Look Lizzy, listen to me very carefully." He whispers. I crawl closer to him. He holds my face in his hands, "They're going to take you."

"What? Why?"

"You're past the four week mark. They'll punish Xander by-"

"Punishing me." I finish breathlessly.

He nods sadly. My heart is beating against my chest. My palms become clammy. My head starts to get dizzy and my eyes sting with tears. I close my eyes and be still. I hold my stomach and pray to the moon goddess, "Please, protect my child." I whisper. I fear for my baby. I don't want him to get hurt before he's even in this world.

My lip quivers. I admit, I am the Luna of the most powerful Pack...and I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to think...But I do know that I have to take courage. I will have to go through things to ensure the safety of the two most important people that I love. Xander and our son.

I nod my head slowly. I breath in deeply. I hear the metal doors opening, signaling that they're coming for me. I look at my big brother, Eddie. His eyes are filled with worry and anger. I smile at him through my tears, "I love you."

He shakes his head at me, "Don't do that. Don't say you're good byes to ME! I have protected you for most of my whole life, I don't plan to stop doing that now baby sister."

I reach my hand out through the bars and hold his, "There are some things you can't protect me from Eddie. There's nothing you can do to stop this...If I don't make it-"

"Don't" he growls.

I squeeze his hand, "If I don't make...make sure to help Xander...when he's not at his best, please lift him up. When he's about to do something stupid, give him a good talking to."

He shakes his head as tears fill his eyes. I raise my hand and cup his cheeks, "And Eddie? Promise me one thing."

"What's that?"

"Have a family. Live life. And love Zapora with all your heart. If you do that, I will be at peace knowing that my big brother has the best life he could make for himself."

I see Eddie's angry face, but his eyes are filled with tears and he's trying to restrain his quivering lip. "I love you little sis." His voice cracks. "I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry I couldn't stop this."

I shake my head, "It's not your fight. It's mine." We embrace each other through the bars. Tears roll down my cheeks. This is probably the last time I will see my big brother. My big brave brother. I hear the footsteps stop in front of my cell and unlocking it. The steps come closer to me. I clutch tighter to Eddie's shoulders. He growls at the man behind me. 

I kiss my brother on the cheek as the man takes hold of my arms and lifting my up to my feet. Eddie is instantly on his feet, growling and snarling at the guard. He grabs the bars and starts shaking them and shouting, wanting to get out for me. "If she's hurt I am going to fucking kill you!" He shouts, "If you hurt her child I will make you scream in pain you bastard!" He roars.

We head towards the door. before we enter, I look over my shoulder at the last piece of my blood, my family, my big brother, Eddie. I give him a small smile before I'm pulled away.

***

The guard keeps on pulling me and shoving me down the hallway. "Where are you taking me?"

"No talking." He says in a cold voice.

The man ends up leading me into this chamber, "Strip." he commands.

My blood runs cold, "No." I whisper.

"Strip, or I'll make you." He spits at me.

I take a deep breath. If I don't do as he says, he will do it. I'll be naked in front of this man no matter the choice I make. With shaking hands and stumbling legs, I slowly take off my clothes. As each piece of clothing drops from my body, goosebumps surface. Not because it's cold, but from my exposed skin, the intense stare of the man. 

When I am just in my underwear and bra, he leaves the room, locking the metal door. I run towards it, trying to open it. But it doesn't budge. I Can't get out of here. I scan the area, trying to figure out what to do when suddenly the pipes attached to the wall starts to rattle. That's when it dawned on me. This is a gas chamber... No! I sprint towards the door, banging on it, "Please! Let me out! I'll do anything!" I shouted. After a while a sank to the floor. I held my stomach, my baby. "It's okay, "I whisper to him, "It's okay, mummy's here..mummy's here."I look around and see the pipes vibrate even more. I close my eyes, "I love you, both of you...may we meet again." I whisper.  When I hear the steam burst out, I suddenly felt droplets of water, pouring down on me. Water? What the hell?! I stand up and look at the roof. it has shower head on them. I collapse to the ground when I realize that they actually put me in a shower chamber. I start to laugh in relief, "Izzy! You're so stupid, " I say to myself. I take a deep breath, filling my lungs with nice moist air. I rub my stomach, "We're okay baby boy, we're okay." I close my eyes and lets the hot water cleanse my face and body. Then I smile.

XANDER'S POV:

I am pacing in my cage. Back and forth like a crazed wild animal. My muscles are tensing and my breathing is heavy as I wait. Where is she? Shouldn't she be back by now?

"Be patient. She will be returned to you." I hear Lincoln says.

"That's not what I'm worried about."

"What'er you worried about then?"

"Whether she's hurt or not. Whether that bastard touched her again." I growl.

I couldn't help but let my lips curl into a snarl as I paced. I kept clenching an unclenching my fists. I need to hit something.

The sound of a metal door creaking has me stand in place. A couple of guards come in looking nervous. I growl and step forward. "Where is she?"

"She's okay. She's waiting for you."

"Why isn't she he-" Before I could finish, one of the guards had shot me. I look at my shoulder where it hit. I pick the dart out and drop. I growl in anger.

"What the hell?" the man said.

"I thought these were for elephants?" One of the men whispered.

"They are!"

I roar in anger, "WHERE IS SHE?"

The men, with shaking hands, got their guns out and pointed it at me. I didn't care. My wolf was going wild. I needed to get to her, to my Izzy.

They shot me. There were at least ten darts in my chest. As I walk forward to the front of my cage. My head felt light headed. I shook it, hoping it would clear it. it doesn't. Suddenly, everything went black.

***

I wake up in a box looking room. There are concrete walls and a big bed. There were two doors. One to the bathroom I'm assuming and the other, the exit. I slowly lift myself up. I rub my chest and feel the little dots that the darts were in. I smell the air. I felt my wolf stir inside when we caught a faint scent of Izzy. 

I look around the room frantically, but see no sign of her. I close my eyes and let my nose lead me. I took deep breaths as I walked towards the scent. It became stronger and stronger. I felt my knee bump into something. I open my eyes and see the bed before me. It was't made. it was all messy and the covers were twisted, the pillows were scattered everywhere. I bend over it slightly and take a sniff. I felt my wolf growl in anger when I caught the scent of my mate's blood. 

 I look at the bed and see a smudge of blood around the middle-ish of the bed. Where was she bleeding? I look around the bed for more signs. On the head of the bed, I see cuffs. The kind to hold down someone. That was when it clicked in my mind. This was the place. The place where he raped her, raped my girl. "Motherfucker," I snarl.

I yelled, shouted and roared as I ripped the mattress to pieces. I flipped the whole bed over. I destroyed everything I set my eyes on.

"You were always very destructive."

I spin around and see Matheseus standing their with his happy smile that I want to rip off his face. I march towards him, but he holds his hand up, "Not so fast. Just by the click of my fingers, I can order the death of your mate."

I stare him with black eyes that are filled with a boiling rage. My chest i heaving and I keep clenching my fist, wanting to punch the smile off his face. The smile he shows to all little boys he hurts.

"This is my ultimate revenge on you Xander. You took everything from me. She was my everything. And you took her."

"That's because she was a sick woman. She would play with little boys just like you."

"It was something we both enjoyed. Something we both had in common."

I growl, "You sick bastard. You two sure did deserve each other. You both traded your sane minds for something totally psychotic."

I see his smile falter slightly, "I am not psychotic."

"Yes you are. You are a grown man that preys on little children. You torture grown men for enjoyment. And you took my mate as revenge for your wife that abused boys. That is psychotic Matheseus."

"Enough!" He shouted. I smirk at him, knowing that I hit a nerve. But then I see his mouth slowly stretch into an evil smile. "It has been so nice catching up with you Xander, but I'm afraid Elizabeth is waiting for me in the showers. Once I'm done with her, then you may have some time with her before your end."

I roar and run towards him, but he is already out the door. I pound on the door. Trying to break it open, but nothing happens. My whole body is vibrating with anger with the knowledge that he has the power to do anything with my mate right now.
