The Alpha's Special Mate novel Chapter 49

Jace's POV

It took us 3 days to get home but when we pulled up we only saw Jasper standing outside waiting for us. As we got out we walked over to Jasper with worried expressions for not seeing our little girl anywhere or smelling her scent anywhere.

"Jasper where is everyone and where's our daughter?" I question as worry and agitation lace my words

"Alpha, Luna I'm glad you are okay and finally home a lot has happened since you have been gone but don't worry your daughter is safe and I will tell Lucy that it's safe to bring her home. You might want to come in and sit down before I tell you everything that has happened since you have been away from the pack." Jasper tells us before his eye's glaze over as he mind links Lucy to bring our baby girl home.

We walk into the pack house as the warriors bring in all of the luggage and put ours in our room as we go and make our way into the living room. Once I get Skylar settled in on the couch I go to the kitchen and grab a bottle of water from the fridge for her. As I settle in next to her we wait I notice Dalton standing by the window staring out and I noticed that the warriors are also gone. I sit there wondering what's going on when Jasper comes into the room and addresses us.

"Alpha, Luna I am so glad the both of you are alright and back home safely." Jasper says with a smile

"Thank you Jasper we are glad to finally be home as well. Now why isn't our daughter here and where is everyone?" I ask concern lacing every word

Skylar's POV

"Since we were told about the men we were all on high alert and had wolves patrolling almost around the clock just to be on the safe side but it didn't help. Lucy, Lilith, and I were watching TV in the living room when I got a very bad feeling since I hadn't gotten any updates from the wolves on patrol for a while so I brought Lucy and Lilith to the panic room and told them to stay there until I either came to get them or told her to grab the emergency bag and run to the Mystic Pack where I know the beta and Alpha pretty well, so I knew they would help protect them." he went on recollecting the events of what went on but I wasn't prepared for what happened next.

"I knew something happened to the wolves on patrol when I didn't hear anything back and when I tried to mind link them all I got back was silence. After I made sure Lucy and Lily were safe I came back upstairs to find the front door smashed open so I carefully made my way around the house being as quiet as I could. I heard yelling, growling and things being smashed coming from upstairs and I knew that the intruders were in the house and had found Alex and Amber who were resting upstairs." Jasper grew quiet and solemn from just thinking about the events so I moved closer to him and placed my hand on his knee to give him some support knowing this was very hard for him.

"Thank you Luna, Once I made it upstairs and to where everyone was I noticed the intruders were the men that took you Skylar all those months ago. I saw Alex tackle one of them out of the window and land on the ground with a thud, then the other two moved towards Amber and cornered her and before she could do anything they both lunged at her with their claws out and pinned her before they snapped her neck and once I seen that I lost it and shifted attacking them in an instant taking them by surprise since they didn't even realize I was there. I killed one of them before the other one got a grip on me and broke a few of my ribs as I got out of his hold I jumped through the broken window Alex had went through as I landed with a thud yelping at the pain from the broken ribs I looked up when I heard Alex in his wolf form whimper and I could see him limping while he tried his hardest to keep fighting with the the guy he tackled who was also limping slightly but I could see in Alex's eyes that he was exhausted and wouldn't be able to keep at it for much longer." Jasper was full on crying by the time he got to this part of the story making me fill with sorrow and dread I held his hands in mine as I squeeze them so he knows we are here for support as I looked as Jace whose expression was also that of sorrow and guilt as he looked at Jasper. He glanced at me and rubbed my back as he wiped away my tears I hadn't known I was even shedding.
