Enzo's POV

I was packing up while trying to think of a way to keep Uriel with me and get my father to trust me enough so I can execute my plan of killing him. And then, it came to me almost as if God, if I actually believed in him, sent the plan to me. I smirked and decided maybe I should use my own connections to contact that witch to help me or maybe I'll just get my father to contact her. Father will certainly take some convincing, but I'm sure he'll agree with my plan. It's perfect because we're leaving the country. God, I am a genius!

I go look for my father while pulling out my phone and sending a quick message to someone.

"Father! I have a plan and it benefits us all."

He looks up from his desk.

"Plan for what?"

"Well, on how you can finally demolish the Diavolo and get the angel to be under your control."

"Alright, boy. I'm listening."

Uriel

I woke up and my head was pounding. What the hell? Where am I? The last thing I remember was heading toward the cafe to get me some cookies because I was craving them. I wonder where my mate is. I tried to reach out to him through the mating bond and I felt him coming my way. I looked around just noticing my surroundings. I'm in a fancy looking room. Everything looks so pristine and clean, almost as if no one has lived here. There isn't even a touch of warmth or anything. No pictures on the wall. Just sleek black furniture and white colored walls with black carpet on the floor. I make my way of the bed and toward the door. I have no clue where I'm going. As I reach to open the door, it opens on its own and behind is my mate!

"Hey sleepyhead! You've finally woke up! You nearly gave me a heart attack when I found you on the floor asleep! I thought something happened to you! But then, Dr. Dante said that you were probably just exhausted because of the pregnancy so you're now on bed rest, just until the baby comes."

"That's not fair! I'm barely two months along! I would agree if I were like 4 or 5 months, but barely 2? Not even, I just completely 1 month!"

"Look, Uri. You know I care for you and want the best for you and our baby. So please just do it?"

Was it just me or did his voice change a bit when he said "our baby"? It's probably just my pregnant brain messing up again.

"How about we compromise? I'll go on bed rest once I hit 3 months? And when I do, I won't go anywhere unless you're with me?"

He looks at me and I can't help, but bring out the big guns and pout up at him.

He sighs before giving me a warm smile.

"You know, I can't deny that cute puppy pout you do. Fine. But I will make sure you keep your part of the bargain."

I squeal in victory!

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

I jump in his arms and give him a big kiss. Woah! Suddenly, I feel some kind of pressure in my head. Almost as if something is pounding on some kind of door and trying to get in...that's such a strange analogy, but that's how it feels.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"There's a pounding in my head, but it doesn't really hurt. It's just irritating."

"Well, maybe some soup will help you feel better. Come on, father should be downstairs in the kitchen eating dinner already."

I sigh and follow him downstairs. I know I've been living here for longer than a few months now, but nothing looks familiar to me. It's like I just moved in all over again. What is wrong with me?

I followed close behind my mate, not wanting to get lost or lose sight of him. Why do I get a strange feeling whenever I call him that? What is going on with me? It's probably these pregnancy hormones making me feel like this. Finally, he walks toward a door and opens it for me. As I pass him, I thank him and he chuckles before slapping my ass causing me to squeal.

"You're welcome, baby."

"Not in front of your father, Enzo!"

Adam

"WHY CAN'T I FEEL HIM?!?!"

I roared! It's been a few days and still nothing. The day my sweet amato went missing, I felt like something was blocking my connection with him. I couldn't reach him and it was driving me insane! We went back to the school the very same day to see if we could find some clue as to what happened, but nothing. My room is a mess. I've managed to completely destroy everything except the bed that Uri and I slept in. The sheets still hold some of his scent. I was angry with myself. How could I have been so stupid and let him go alone?! I grabbed my bed frame and completely flipped it. It crashed into the wall leave a mess of broken wood from the bed and plaster from the hole in the wall. I stepped forward to grab an already broken lamp, when I hit something. I looked down and saw a broken picture frame. What the hell? I picked it up and saw that it was the picture that Uri had gotten me for Christmas. It was a picture of us on our first date. It was right after we finished making out on his door step. He nuzzled my chest. I was so nervous when I asked him to be mine. I'm so happy he said yes...how can I get him back? I just want him and my child back. I no longer feel anger as I fall to my knees. Instead the feelings of despair and hopelessness begin to take over and cause my heart to beat painfully fast. I've never felt this way before and it hurts. I don't know what to do. I finally let out a cry of emotional pain and start crying. I can't breath and my hands are shaking. My thoughts are full of all the painful possibilities of what my sweet amato could be going through right now. I began to claw at my chest trying to stop the pain in my heart. I was full on sobbing at this point. I was so focused on my pain that I didn't even hear my mama come in. She seem to have appeared out of nowhere when she sat in front of me and ran her fingers through my hair as she spoke to me. She was asking me what I needed from her, but her voiced seem non-existent to me. I was so focused on my Uri's possible current state that nothing could get through to me. What if he was being beaten? What if they were torturing him and raping him? What if they beat him so bad that he loses our precious child? I'll kill them! At this point, my mama's fingers had stopped what they were doing and I suddenly became super drowsy. I welcomed the darkness with open arms. Perhaps, I can forget the pain just for a little while.

*********

Third POV

Ivana was in so much pain for she had just witnessed one of her beloved sons have a mental breakdown over his missing mate and unborn child. Right now, her other two sons and husband are using all their connections to try and obtain the location of their brother/son-in-law. She needs to begin her spell to help her son. She also wants Uri and her first grandchild back because Uri has become like a son to her. She chanted a spell to put her understandably panicked son to sleep. She waves her hand and the room is back to it original state before her son wrecked it. Then, she waved her finger at her son and levitates him toward his now fixed bed before she leaves the room. She heads toward her spell room and on the way she runs into Seraphine, Uri's mother. Uri's family were also here helping as much as possible. His sister and her mate haven't been told because they're trying to get a handle of taking care of their first child. Only Uri's parents and older brother know. Sera had red and puffy looking eyes with bags underneath them. Her hair was matted and generally looked like she has given up on it. She didn't look at all like the powerful angel that she was. Instead, she looked like the grieving mother she currently was.

"What happened?"

Her voice cracked as she spoke. Ivana hugged her before she replied.

"Adam had a panic attack. He is not doing so well and it is perfectly understandable. I fear he will go insane soon. I need to help out. I'm going to my room to try and cast a spell to help. I can't stand around anymore while our husbands and sons run themselves ragged while searching for Uri."

Seraphine was tired of crying. It wasn't going to help her get her youngest baby back. With new determination, she told Ivana that she'd meet her there after a shower and a change of clothes. It about time she helps out.

Ivana nods and continues toward her room. She waves her hand and the doors open. She walks into the room and starts to prepare for her locating spell. Luckily, she had asked her husband to get a hold of the ingredients for her spell earlier in the week. But he finally got a hold of the last ingredient so it was time to beginning. She begins to prepare her space. As she finishes, Sera comes in looking much better and like she's fresh out of a shower. Ivana makes her stand next to her as she begins her spells. Because Sera is related to Uri, her energy is similar to his so it would be easier to find it. They also have a family connections that helps. She took calming breaths and steadied herself. She began to chant words as she opened her senses to the energies around her. She finds Sera's energy quite easily because it's literally next to her. She follows it till she gets to a point where it spreads out to four different paths. It wasn't that hard to find which one of the connections belonged to her youngest. It's the one that is completely stretched thin. She follows it till she hits a wall. She can't go any further. She searches for a way to break it when she notices the aura around the block. She knew right away that they had help putting up this block. She was going to have to find the one who helped and she knew exactly how to do that. Ivana opened her eyes and called for a family meeting. She yelled for everyone, excluding Adam who was sedated, to come to the living room. Then, she waved her hands and peice of paper and a pen appeared. As she began speaking, the pen moved on the paper as it wrote down what she said.

"Meet me, where we last fought, in two days and be prepared to get the ass whoopin of a lifetime for blocking the connection between my son and his pregnant mate as well as being involved in his kidnapping. I don't know how much they paid you, but you better hope it is enough to cover your hospital bill."

With the snap of her fingers the paper disappeared. Afterward, Ivana entered the living room and waited for her family to get here so she can explain her findings.

*****

Meanwhile, Hecate was enjoying a bath in her $15,000 a night room with an extravagant bathroom that has the finest shampoos, conditioners, and soaps. She loved that she could afford such luxuries. There was a time she couldn't even afford the dirt under her bare feet. She shook her head and rolled her eyes at herself for even thinking about that time when she was lower than dirt in the eyes of other people. She shook her head and took a sip of her bubbly champagne before standing up and letting the water run down her body. She sighs as she suddenly sees a piece of paper appear in her face. She can already sense who its from. She didn't want to read it. She snapped her fingers and it began to read itself out loud.

"I can't believe that he's mates with her son. What a shitty coincidence! I can't believe it!"

She waves her hand and she is dried off and dressed in her silk pajamas. She sighs.

"Oh, well there is nothing I can do about it now. I got paid for the job. I have upheld my end of the bargain and so have they. The conditions were that I tell no one about the specifics of the job. And I may be a lot of things, but I keep up my end of my deals unless they break theirs first."

Hecate sighs as she got into bed. She is ready to face the music of her actions. She's not too worried. She knows she can take her on. She's just worried about what the price for her victory will be. The last time they fought, she had to sacrifice something close to her. An item that held wonderful memories for her that she couldn't bear to part with, but her need to be the most powerful witch so that no one could look down on her ever again was much greater. She sighed yet again. She wonders if she could take her on without her added help. After all, she practices a lot without the help from demons. She only uses their help for a big job, like those involving mafia members or political leaders or something like that. She feels like something will happen when they meet. And when it does it'll be big. Yet, she can't decide if it'll be a good thing or a bad thing. Hecate snaps her fingers and the lights turn off. There is nothing to do, but prepare herself for whatever will happen when she finally meets up with Ivana Diavolo.

******

*Two Days Later*

Ivana was arguing with her husband and her sons. She told them what she learned when she tried to connect with Uriel and what she plans to do. They are completely against the idea. She knows she can get out of there alive, perhaps not unscathed since she was able to defeat her last time with the help of demons. But she has a feeling something big will go down when they meet.

"We're coming with you and that's finally mama."

"Fine. If that's what you want. I don't care. We just need to do something to help your brother, Adam. He's completely lost without his mate and his child."

"Mio povero figlio, Adam. Non riesco a immaginare come si sente in questo momento. Forse dovrei parlargli. Sai che è nella sua stanza da quando lo abbiamo sedato quando ha scoperto che Uriel era scomparso. Dio, non posso immaginare quanto sia distrutta la sua stanza. (My poor son, Adam. I can't imagine how he feels at this moment. Perhaps, I should talk to him. You know he's been in his room ever since we sedated him when he first found out Uriel was missing. God, I can't imagine how destroyed his room is.)"

"I fixed his room the other day when I went to check up on him."

Ivana wasn't going to tell her sons and her mate that Adam had a panic attack because she knows how important it is to Adam to look strong in front of his male relatives. Vincent just nodded before heading toward his second son's room. He sighs because it truly hurts to see his son going through this. He can't imagine what Ivana went through after they "kill" him and she had to raise their three sons on her own. He loves her so much more for being able to survive for so long on her own. A mate is so important in a supernatural beings life. They make you stronger and better in all aspects of life. He can't believe that Hecate is invol- well he can. She's all about the money so she'll do any job as long as the price is high enough. She is strong enough on her own, but his Ivana was way stronger and Hecate didn't like that so she made deals with demons to be able to defeat Ivana.

He shook his head to clear all the thoughts that were important at the moment. Right now, Adam and his mate are important. He hopes he can help his son. He knocks on the door to Adam's room and walks in before Adam can say anything. Adam was sitting up in bed just kind of staring at a photo. As Vincent walked closer he noticed it was a picture of Uri and him. He smiles at the cute photo before he analyzes his son.

"Buongiorno, figliolo. Come hai dormito ieri notte? Non preoccuparti di rispondere a questo. Posso vedere dal tuo viso esattamente quanto bene hai dormito la scorsa notte o non hai dormito. Senti figlio, non posso fingere di sapere cosa stai passando. Forse tua madre può aiutarti perché ha attraversato qualcosa di simile. Tutto quello che posso dirvi è che ci si deprime e si pensa al cosa succederebbe se solo fosse il panico e l'incapacità di fare qualcosa a causa di quel panico. Quindi ti alzerai per fare una doccia e poi cambia prima di unirti a noi nella sala riunioni, così tua madre può spiegarti cosa ha scoperto. Abbiamo un vantaggio su Uriel. (Morning, son. How did you sleep last night? Don't bother answering that. I can see from your face exactly how well you slept last night or didn't sleep. Look son, I can't pretend to know what you're going through. Perhaps, your mom can help you since she went through something similar. All I can tell you is that moping around and thinking about the what if will only lead to panic and the inability to do anything because of that panic. So you're going to get up take a shower and then change before joining us in the meeting room so your mom can explain to you what she found out. We have a lead on Uriel.)"

These seemed to haven woken Adam from his little trance.

"What? How? When?"

"Two days ago. Your mama was trying to follow Sera's connection to her son, but even their link is blocked and your mama knows who put it there. Hurry up! Take a shower and change before coming downstairs to eat. You feel better."

Adam quickly got up to do as he was told. He now has a lead on his amato! That's all he needs. He's going to get his loves back! What his papa told him really kind of put things into perspective for Adam. He's was right. He can't allow for his anxiety of the unknown to get in the way of saving his mate.   

*****************************

Surprise!! I'm so sorry for taking forever to update. So much has happened in my life that I couldn't find the time to write. And when I did manage to scrape together a few hours to sit down and write I was hit with massive writer's block! I rewrote some parts to this chapter so many times because I wasn't happy with it and honestly, I don't know if I'm happy with how came out even now. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I made a New Years Resolution to try and update more often because lord knows I am really slacking on my stories! No picture or song this time. It's currently  in the morning and I have work in 4 hours! Ugh!! Anyways enough about me! 

Did you like the chapter? WHat do you think about the third POV? I know there was a lot of different POVs this chapter, but as I said I honestly didn't know how this chapter was going to turn out. I didn't know what was going to happen when I sat down and wrote this. Let me know what you think! As always,
