“I know Ayla, she would never do this, she hates David, and even if she would get back with him. She would never write a letter
that mean” Dad says.
My knees buckled with relief, I was afraid I had to convince my parents something was wrong. That my sweet, honest, fierce
mate would never do anything like this. But they knew her and so they fell in love with her too. Mom was crying now because for
her it was like her daughter had gone missing.
“I am going to call her parents, they slept over at Ayla’s and her Gran...” Just as I am suggesting calling Ayla’s parents Jay is
calling me.
“It’s her father I tell my parents before I answer the phone”
“Griffin, it’s Ayla” The fear in Jay’s voice is evident, and it shakes me to the very core.
“I know I received a letter this morning, stating she won’t move in here because she is back with David” Before I can tell him I
know she would never do that to me Jay speaks up again.
“Tell me you don’t believe the letter, they left a letter on her bed stating the same but she was so excited about her future with
you when she left the party last night,” He told me.
I knew she was, from the moment I started reading this I knew she didn’t write this letter. That she would never leave me to get
back with David. Still, it felt good to hear, a balm to my soul.
“Listen, Jay, you come over like you planned to meet with me here.

Because she IS excited about our future together and I will make sure we have that future with her” I promised not just him but
myself too.
Because I felt so lost without Ayla like the world was crumbling down around me. Without her even realizing it she had become
my anker. Where I used to have a goal, keeping me with my feet on the ground. Since getting to know her she was my greatest
rescue her.
When she is back with me, I will crumble as soon as she is in my arms. I will cry when she is the one to wipe my tears away.
“I am so happy to know you’re my daughter’s mate, I know you will do everything to get her back home with you. But Griff we
must remember how strong she is” Jay tells me but I can hear his voice
waver.
Daniel and Krystel are still on their mate-moon, blissfully unaware of the news. They both need to know, I cannot imagine what it
must feel like for either Jay or Tessie to have to call their son and then their pregnant daughter, to tell them their sister is
kidnapped.
“I will call Kate, Krystel, and Dan to let them know so you can focus on getting here okay?” I tell him
He sighs with relief, before thanking me and then hanging up the phone.
“Tell Kate and her Mate they can come over here and stay at the castle too. The same goes for Ayla’s grandparents. We need all
the help we can get to figure out where they are. And family needs each other in times like this” Mom suggest after having
overheard who I am about to call.
So I think her, I text Jay to let him know his parents are welcome to

come over too. And then I make the hardest phone call of my life
“Hey, Griff, shouldn’t you be preparing for your mate to arrive? Or are you nervous?” Daniël cheerfully answers the phone
“No, Dan I am so sorry to be the one that has to tell you this but David kidnapped Ayla. You and Krystel need to come home” I
tell him regret and guilt washing over me.
Because I could have stopped it, she was about to be a part of the royal family. No, she is a part of the royal family. I should have
sent a guard with her just to be safe. Especially when we already suspected David was planning something. How could we have
been so naive to think that he would go after us? After the royal family, after our pack when all he wanted was Ayla. She is worth
more than the entirety of Silver Creek, the Silver Moon pack. She is worth more than the entire kingdom and he was too late but
he realizes it now. So we should have, known, I should have known he would not be coming after us. I should have known he
would be coming after her. And I should have kept my mate safe.
shove when she really needs me I’m not there for her.
I spent my time arguing with a she-wolf from my own pack because I could not make it clear enough that Ayla is the only one I
will ever love again until my dying breath. A breath I would be so willing to breathe out to make her smile. When I finally
managed to deal with that I just fell asleep, she must have been alone and scared for hours when I was just simply sleeping.
“Griff, you still there” Dan shouts at me, pulling me back to the phone in my hand and the two people on the other side of the line.
“Yes, I am it is just, I uhm well, SH IT” I curse I feel like I am losing it.

I want to properly function until she is back with me, I want to be the strong Prince who has everything under control but I am not
and I don’ t know how long I can keep faking it.
“Griffin, snap out of it, you are spiraling and that is not getting my sister back. I know you love her and most importantly she
knows you love her and it will keep her strong. Let her love for you do the same, let it keep you strong, and remember what she
would say to you” There is a tenderness, a fondness in his voice.
He would no doubt be chuckling thinking about what Ayla would tell me if she was here now. If it wasn’t for the situation being so
dire.
So I’ll say the words out loud, I tell him what his sister, my mate would have told me if she was here right now.
“Don’t get in your head Alpha, just think I know you can” I can see it, her smirk when she tells me. Her hand on my cheek
drawing my attention back to her.
A faint smile tugs at my lips, because Dan is right I need to remember she loves me. I know she will trust me to come for her
wherever she is. So I need to make sure that I honor that trust. That I won’t go all Alpha on her but that I will find her as soon as I
can and that I will get her out. Daniël and I discussed when Krystel and him will be back. Telling him to come straight to see me
when they arrive. And there is just one last phone call to make.
Just like Dan, Kate answers cheerily, wanting to know if I need any help preparing for Ayla. Excited to come to see the castle
soon since Ayla invited her and Tim. And just like her brother, I can hear the heartbreak in her voice when I tell her Ayla is gone.
Then I can hear her find her resolve, curse out David, and then without me having to tell her she is welcome here. She tells me
she will be at the castle around dinnertime.

“She is just like her siblings you know, honest and smart the
Hemmings did a good job at raising those three. For now, we just have to believe that, it is what will make her able to keep
herself safe during this time” Father reassures me, or he tries to and I have no choice but
to make myself believe it as I mindlink the entire pack to hold an emergency meeting..
