CHAPTER 55 : RESCUE MISSION (PART 1)
CHAPTER 55 : RESCUE MISSION (PART 1)
Jace was enraged because his cousins were refusing to agree and were being stubborn despite
Alexander's attempts to explain.
“This isn't a game, guys.” Jace spoke sternly, to which Draco replied, "We know it isn't," as he returned
Jace's stare.
“Yeah, but you're treating your mates like objects.” Alexander spoke worriedly, wanting to check on
Alyssa and Luna but unable to do so because Jace had told him to stay close to him at all costs.
“We are not,” Loukas stated. We're just telling them that everything they're seeing is a figment of their
imagination,” which made Alexander and Jace sigh.
“Yeah, but what if it's true and they get hurt? What are you going to do?” Jace inquired, and Loukas
responded, "We will save them," which made Jace laugh.
“I know you will, but what if you are late and they die?” Jace said as Draco scoffed and answered,
“They can't die this easily,” as he averted his eyes annoyed.
“They are humans, and they can die this easily. “Don't forget that they are humans in a supernatural
world where Wolves and Vampires are at the top of the food chain, making it easier for other creatures
to attack your loved ones,” Jace explained as he rubbed Alexander's palm.
“Look, Jace, we understand you, but where do we begin?” said Loukas. Our ex-girlfriends would never
do something like this,” Jace sighed, refusing to speak to them because he was irritated by their
obstinate personality.
Alexander shook his head and said, "But Alyssa and Luna believe in you both, so believe them," while
Loukas hummed in agreement and replied, "We believe them and love them, but this is ridiculous,"
causing Alexander to frown.
“What if I say Maya caught a wolf that attacked Alex and me?” Draco's eyes widened as he stared at
his best friend, concerned, as he whispered, "A wolf attacked you," as Jace hummed, nodding.
“Yeah, and he kept saying to beware because it's revenge time,” Jace said as Draco cast a glance at
Loukas, who shrugged his shoulders.
Loukas stated, "We didn't do anything to any wolf," to which Draco agreed, as he had no recollection of
ever harming a wolf.
“Perhaps they are in a group that just wants to hurt our mates, so for once just forget everything and
believe your mate,” Jace said, as Draco nodded his head and Loukas thought for a moment, while
Alexander and Jace hoped Loukas and Draco agreed.
Jace cast a glance at Alexander, who shrugged his shoulder as Loukas hummed.
"All right, I'll believe you all and try your way once because I want my mate to be safe," Loukas said as
Jace hummed.
"And what about you, Draco?" Alexander replied as Draco sighed, "I believe you guys, but if what
you're saying is true, we need to be alert and ready for anything," as Jace nodded his head agreeing.
"Now we have to figure out how to do it." Loukas spoke, to which Jace replied, "Yeah, a way for us to
figure out who is behind all of this in secret." While Draco hummed.
"We need to tell Ronin as well," Draco said, while Alexander smiled and nodded, saying, "He believed
Juliet a long time ago, but lost hope because you guys kept pushing him," causing Draco to frown.
"We'll apologize to Ronin, Juliet, and our other mates because they might be in real trouble," Loukas
said, as Draco agreed with his brother.
"But for now, think of a strategic plan until Ronin returns," Alexander said as Draco, Loukas, and Jace
began to brainstorm some plan.
Draco, Loukas, Jace, and Alexander sat silently on the sofa in the hall, with Jace staring at Loukas and
Draco, who was trying to come up with a way to figure out the plan.
‘HELP,' Ronin's voice echoed in the heads of Jace, Loukas, Alexander, and Draco as they exchanged
puzzled glances.
‘Julie....' was all Jace, Alexander, Loukas, and Draco heard again as they all stood up nervously.
“Did you guys hear Ronin's voice?” Alexander inquired.” Draco nodded, gently pushing Alexander
towards Jace.
“Stay with Alex,” Draco said as Loukas hummed as they both dashed to Ronin's room, followed by
Jace and Alexander.
Loukas opened the door to see the balcony open, while Ronin fainted on the floor with a blood-
splattered stick next to him.
“RONIN,” Alexander yelled as he pushed Loukas and Draco while he shook Ronin who groaned
because of pain.
Jace angrily turned Loukas and Draco around as he sternly spoke “As you can see, it has already
begun. “Where is Juliet?” Loukas and Draco's eyes widened as they began to search the room for her.
“Lou,” Ronin said quietly as he sat, while Jace rubbed his back and quickly looked around to bandage
Ronin's head.
Alexander said, "I'll bring the first aid kit," as Jace shook his head no.
Jace said, "Whoever did this might do it with you, so stay with me." As Alexander hummed
understandingly.
Draco tore Ronin's shirt, which was lying on the sofa, and gave it to Jace to bandage Ronin's head who
was now frowning.
“Can you tell me what happened and where Juliet is?” Loukas inquired, concerned, as Ronin
stammered, "I-I don't know." I couldn't see their faces because they were wearing masks, and they hit
me very hard, and I f-fainted while they took her,” he winced in pain.
Loukas' eyes widened as he rushed out of the room, followed by Alexander.
Draco quickly picked Ronin up and wrapped Ronin's arm around his shoulder as he used his vampire
speed to go to Alyssa's room, with Jace trailing behind.
Draco, Ronin, and Jace entered the room to find Loukas on the floor, while Alexander hugged him and
tried to calm him down.
“Where is Alyssa?” Draco inquired, concerned, as Loukas stuttered out, “I-I was stupid enough t-to not
believe her, and n-now she is k-kidnapped because of me,” as Draco's eyes widened while he made
Ronin sit and quickly used his powers to go to his room.
Draco opened his bedroom door, looking around worriedly, and opened his walk-in wardrobe to see
Luna's back as she faced the wall.
“Luna,” Draco said quietly as he noticed her sitting calmly and touched her as the dummy fell to the
floor.
Draco touched the dummy that looked like Luna angrily, while he was trying to keep his temper under
control as he returned to Alyssa and Loukas' room to see everyone trying to comfort Ronin, who was
crying.
“Calm down, Ron, we'll find them,” Jace said as he patted Ronin's head, who nodded his head sadly.
Jace was older than Ronin, so he was concerned for his younger cousin, unlike Loukas, who was
attempting to solve the problem while Alexander assisted him.
Draco and Loukas frowned as Jace rubbed his face and yelled, "See, this is what we were trying to
warn you about."
“I believed her and was attacked, so even if we protected and believed them, this was to happen.”
Ronin spoke as he glared at Jace, who shook his head in response.
“No, you were attacked because the kidnapper thought Juliet was alone, but you must have done
something to alert the kidnapper that you are with your mate, so perhaps that is why you were hit.”
Jace spoke, which made a lot of sense, and Ronin nodded his head, knowing Jace was correct.
As he scowled and stared at his hands, Ronin said, "I heard a knock on the door and I just yelled and
questioned after that I opened to see no one so I ignored it when I suddenly got hit."
“See, you told the kidnapper you were around,” Jace huffed as he sat next to Ronin, his arms crossed
around his chest.
“What do we do now?” Alexander inquired. As Loukas responded, “Now we try to figure out what this
fucking kidnapper wants from our mates,” Alexander nodded his head in agreement, hoping nothing
bad happened to his friends.
"Don't worry, we'll find them," Draco said as he noticed Alexander's sad expression.
Draco was well aware that Alexander was close to Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna, and that Alexander would
be terrified and concerned for them.
“We need to tell our parents,” Loukas said, as Ronin agreed with a nod.
Draco spoke up. “Yeah, and besides, Luna knows how to contact me, so I'm sure she'll figure out a way
to mind link,” Loukas hummed as he remembered how she contacted him even though he was so far
away.
"That's great,” Jace said as he patted Ronin's back and stood up to stretch, adding, "And I'm sure
nothing will happen to your family," as Loukas, Draco, and Ronin nodded humming.
“I'll call mom and dad,” Ronin said as he stood up quickly, almost falling due to dizziness from being hit
on the head.
"Hey, did the kidnapper leave a dummy?” Draco inquired, as Loukas, Ronin, Jace, and Alexander
exchanged puzzled looks.
“What do you mean by dummy? The kidnapper did not leave anything for us.” Loukas said as Draco
smirked, "Perhaps the first clue." As they all nodded in agreement.
“I'll call uncle and aunt while you all go to Draco's room as I'll meet you there.” Jace spoke while Draco
nodded in agreement.
Loukas, Alexander, and Ronin followed Draco to his room, where Draco went inside the walk-in
wardrobe while the others waited outside.
Draco grabbed the dummy in the closet when he noticed a note attached to it and brought it outside
when Michael and Victoria entered the room, all worried, with Jace next to them as he noticed the
dummy and a note in Draco's hand.
‘YOU ALL LOVE AND CARE FOR THE NEW QUEENS, BUT NOT FOR LONG... FIND YOUR
PRECIOUS MATES IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THEM. THEY ARE IN THIS CASTLE, BUT THEIR
CHANCES OF DYING ARE GREATER. YOU ONLY HAVE 24 HOURS TO FIND THEM OR ELSE... Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
OUR SWORDS AND THEIR THROATS.'
Draco punched the wall and groaned, unable to control his rage, while Jace drew Draco in for a hug to
calm him down.
"What are we waiting for, let's find them," Alexander said, as Loukas nodded his head and replied, "I
will tell the guards to look around as well," while Jace nodded.
“Perfect, and we'll find them in no time.” Ronin smiled at his parents, who nodded as they exited
Draco's room, only to see Katie running towards them with blood on her leg.
“Katie,” Victoria said as she held the maid and made her sit on the chair while Katie was crying in pain.
“I will bring her mate,” Michael said as he dashed off to find the butler who was mated with Katie so he
could care for her.
Loukas noticed a note stuck to Katie's back and quickly took it and read it aloud while everyone else
was listening.
‘WHO DOES SHE WORK FOR? WHOEVER SHE WORKS FOR HAS THE SAME BRUISE AND CUT
ON THE SAME SPOT. OH, I JUST REMEMBERED THAT THIS MAID WORKS FOR ONE OF THE
QUEENS, RIGHT? IF YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR PRECIOUS MATES, DO NOT ASK FOR HELP
AND SOLVE THIS MYSTERY ON YOUR OWN, AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL THE
GUARDS.’
" DAD, DO NOT COMMAND THE GUARDS " Draco yelled as Jace dashed after Michael to prevent
him from informing the guards.
"Mom, treat Katie's wound, please," Loukas said as Victoria nodded, while Loukas used his powers to
quickly rush after Michael because he could tell Draco was in shock.
"Katie works for Luna... my moon is in trouble, and she is hurt," Draco said as he sat on the floor, while
Alexander held Draco's hand and watched Katie.
Katie's leg was badly cut, and her left arm shoulder was dislocated, causing her to sob in agony.
When Jace and Loukas returned with Michael and Cole, Draco had no idea what to do and kept staring
at Katie.
Jace frowned as he sat next to Draco, who hugged him, unsure what to do because he was angry and
wanted to kill the person who had hurt his mate.
“We have to solve this quickly,” Jace said as Michael agreed, seeing how much pain his sons were in.
Loukas said, "We need to come up with a plan." Ronin agreed as he spoke, "We have to save our
mates because they need us." while Victoria agreed to what her sons said.
“You guys can do it, and I will help you as much as we can,” Jace said as he looked at his cousins, who
hummed in agreement.
Draco stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, please take Alex with you and keep him safe," because
Draco knew Alexander could get hurt and he didn't want that to happen.
“Yes, uncle and aunt, I would be very grateful if you could protect him.” Jace agreed because he
adored Alexander and never wanted to see him suffer.
Alexander frowned as he spoke, "But I want to help," while Jace shook his head and said "No Alex, you
need to be safe," causing Alexander to sigh and nod.
Alexander tightly hugged Jace, who kissed the crown of Alexander's head as he hugged him back.
Loukas and Ronin exchanged glances while humming as Cole assisted Katie and took her away, while
Victoria warned them not to tell anyone or Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet would be in big trouble.
"THIS IS IT ... THAT KIDNAPPER IS GOING DOWN WITH THIS STUPID GAME," Draco yelled, as
Jace agreed with a smirk.
Alexander walked away with Michael and Victoria, leaving Jace, Draco, Loukas, and Ronin to save
Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna.
