The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 196

Asher

I feel as though this is all my fault; I was the one carrying her on my back. I felt it when

her body tensed up at the sight of the she-wolf being tossed to the rogues and I should

have stopped her from shifting. I need to make this right somehow, I need to get her

back and when I do, she will never be out of my sight again.

“Will you stop with the blame already?” Holden sighs at me, “None of this is your fault,

it’s the witch’s fault and we will get her back together; do you understand? In no way will

you be doing this by yourself!”

“How did you know what I was thinking?” I ask scrunching my face up.

“I can feel your emotions, Ash. So, I just called on a vision of you and it told me

everything I needed to know. Not so much with images but with feelings and such.” He

shrugs like it’s a natural thing.

“I’m not so sure I like this new power of yours.” I scowl.

“Ash,” Ledger lays his hand on my shoulder, “I was right there as well, and I can beat

myself up over not being able to do something at the time, but your brother is right. None

of this is your fault and you couldn’t have prevented it. We will get her back.”

“She’s already been there overnight; that sick f*ck could

be doing anything to her right now!” I slam my hand down on the table that we are all

sitting around.

“The prisoner said he wouldn’t be touching her until tonight…” Decker states.

“And we are going to go off of what a hunter tells you when you are threatening his life?

Of course, he will tell you whatever he thinks you will want to hear!” My anxiety is

through the roof at the moment, and I won’t be able to relax until our mate is back home

with us.

“Calm down sweetie.” My mother places her hands on my shoulders from behind me as I

sit. I can feel her own powers flowing through me as she tries calming me. It works, and I

can feel my body start to relax.

“Thanks Mom. I don’t mean to be so frantic but the longer he has her the more anxious I

become.” I explain.

“You never have to explain your actions when it comes to your mate. I know all too well,

we all do, sweetheart. We are only wanting to remind you to try and keep your head on,

so we can come up with some kind of plan.” She means well, and I’m trying to accept

that but yet I’m a bit annoyed as well and I’m pretty sure it’s Blaze that’s giving off these

emotions.

‘Blaze, we need to calm down like mom says. We won’t be able to think straight and plan

accordingly if our emotions are all over the place.’ I try to calm him like mom did me but

it’s a bit more challenging.

‘Easy for you to say, I was the one carrying our mate, you were just along for the ride!’

He sneers at me.

‘Oh really? We are going to play this game, are we? WE

ARE THE SAME, BLAZE! Let’s just concentrate on getting her back now, okay?’

‘Fine,’ he growls, ‘but we better have her back by tonight!’

I turn my attention back to the others and nod, indicating that I’m good. I’m hoping I’m

good anyway; I seem to be the only one that isn’t keeping it together. It could be due to

what I went through; I only just came back to my mate, and I’ve al- ready lost her again. I Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

close my eyes and take a few deep breaths, getting a hold of myself before I lose it

completely.

“Now, Quinn and I have been going through Marko’s spell book,” Cici informs everyone

as she slams the huge book down on the table in front of everyone.

“D*mn, I’ve forgotten how big that book was!” Ledger

states.

“Well, we need your expertise, babe.” My mother-in-law smiles at her mate, “You’re the

only one that knows this book, so,” she flips through a bunch of pages until she finds

what she’s looking for, “tell us if this is what we think it is? I’ve learned how to read some

but without Emery’s magic running through me it’s a tedious task and so it’s taking me

longer to learn.”

Everyone, including me leans over to look at what Cici is pointing at. The book is old, so

I don’t dare even touch it, but my mother-in-law has no qualms about it. I’ve seen this

sym- bol before, so have my brothers when we were going through the Elder’s books

that they brought to us.

“The Power of Four.” My brother’s voices are just as vocal as mine is as we say it in sync

with one another.

They all look at us and Cici nods her head, “That’s what I thought it was too.” She looks

at her mate, “You’re up hot stuff! Nobody else can read this gibberish.” She winks at

Ledger.

He reads through it first before reading out loud, but be- fore he recites it, he scratches

his head, looking totally con- fused, “I’m not sure how to take this. According to this, it’s

telling all Shikari to beware of the Power of Four. Under no circumstances should they

create a war with the most power- ful beings on this earth.”

“Then why would Colin take Emery?” My father chimes in, sounding just as confused,

“Does the witch not have this knowledge, or does he think he can outsmart us?”

“I keep trying to get a reading over there,” Holden states, “But he’s blocking me. I

thought we were powerful! How can I not get my visions?”

“Because you aren’t using them correctly. There are cer- tain spells that you must use,

just like the Shikari; your power only goes so far without help.” Ledger explains, “The

only thing this book has about the Power of Four is that you guys are the most powerful

at the peak of a full moon.”

“Well, that’s tonight!” I jump up.

“We have to figure out a plan and make sure it’s fool proof by the time the moon is high,

and then we have limited time; that’s my understanding anyway.” We all watch Ledger as

he continues to read, flipping through pages. When he begins to grin, I know that he’s

just found the answer and a ray of hope sparks inside of me. I glance at my brothers,

and they too have that ray of hope t*inkling in their eyes.

“Care to tell us what you just read?” I question a bit an- noyed that he hasn’t said

anything yet.

“During the peak of the moon, just before it begins to de- scend once again, all wards

will be useless, meaning we can teleport over there and grab her without any warnings

going off. Their magic is useless against the four of you.” He grins. and the rest of us

start high fiving each other.

“Wait a minute, though,” my mother cuts our celebrating short, “If he has her in a silver

collar, then her powers won’t work with my sons. She may have her witch powers but the

Power of Four comes from the wolf side. It doesn’t matter if the wards are down, the

silver itself will stop the power within her.”

“Guys,” Ledger looks to me and my brothers, “Do you know whether Emery was wearing

the amulet that I gave her for her birthday?”

“I’m guessing so, she never takes it off.” I answer and he goes into thinking mode.

“This will only work as long as Colin didn’t take the amulet from her.” He waves his hand

over the table and three black

braided bracelets with some sort of stone that sits in the middle of it, appear in that exact spot.

“Your magic tricks never get old,” Decker laughs, “What are we looking at?”

“Do you boys remember when Emery was younger, and she always got those

headaches?” We all nod, “Well, it was the magic within her that kept building and her

little body couldn’ t handle it until she was able to use her magic. I would syphon it and I

saved it all. Funny thing is, I had to separate it into

four different amulets, and it wasn’t until you all found out that you were mates that I

understood why. You each are meant to have one; Emery’s is in her necklace, and

these,” he picks them up, “belong to the three of you.”

“So, what are we supposed to do with them?” I ask as I strap mine to my wrist.

“I have spelled those so when you shift, they will stretch with your wolf, but these

bracelets will be what gets your mate, and my daughter, back home tonight as long as

she still has hers on her person. It’s her magic…strong magic, but it’s not the magic

within her, so this will work in its place.”

Thank you so much for reading! I truly appreciate all of you who continuously come back

for this Saga! =)
