*warning, this chapter contains mentions of rape, not details but it mentions it*

Jake POV 

"Collen’s gone." Adriel said the moment he and a couple of people I didn't know along with the twins, Alexander, Killian, Titan, and Xavier showed up in my home in my bedroom when Sawyer and I were in the middle of having sex so being disturbed during an intimate time and hearing my son is gone and the man who hurt my son bringing me this news, I had Adriel against the wall with my hand around his throat in two seconds.

"Where the hell have you been, why couldn't we remember you and what the fuck do you mean my son is gone?!" I yelled/ordered. 

"I'll explain that later but Collen is gone. I don't know where or why. I was home and suddenly I got my memories back, went directly to see Collen only to arrive with him disappearing in a cloud of black smoke. We came to tell you as soon as they all got dressed. Collen’s spell is broken, they all managed to break it and when it broke, that's when my memories came back along with all of yours." He said and I let him go, grabbed my briefs from my husband, put them on, and sat on the end of my bed. 

"Adriel, you and Alexander go see if you can find him, look all over the world if you have to. Titan, contact Skylar and have him and Sam get the assassination unit together, Xavier, call Blake and see if Brittney can get her Alpha to help in searching for Collen, the rest of you await my orders. We're going to find my son." They went and did as I ordered and the other's were still in my bedroom. 

"Can I have a moment with my husband and then I'll come to speak to you all in the living room." I said and they all left my room. 

"Jake, what if…" Sawyer spoke softly and I took him in my arms.

"Don't worry sweetheart, he'll be fine. I won't rest until our baby is home." I said as I rubbed his back and he cried softly on my shoulder. 

"We have been through so much Jake, when will it stop? Connor, Skylar, and now Collen. I can't handle this, I don't think I'll make it if something happens to him, Jake." I closed my eyes to fight back my own tears, I need to be strong for my sensitive mate.

"Listen to me, I promise I will find him, even if I die trying. He will be home, I can't say safe but he will be home, I swear. I love you, rest and I'll be back up in a little while. I gotta talk to them and see what Skylar's plans are." 

"I'm joining you, he's my son as well so don't tell me to stay here when I can help." 

"Ok, come on but we gotta get dressed first." We got our clothes on and went downstairs to the living room and they all were crying and holding themselves like they were in pain. I knew they could feel Collens pain, must mean they completed the mating if they could feel his pain, and that killed me inside. 

"Hey boys." I said and Sawyer and I went to try and comfort them, the twins seem to be missing though. 

"It'll be ok, he's strong. He will make it through this." Sawyer kept saying, to them or himself, I'm not sure but possibly both. The front door opened in came Skylar and Sam, along with a few members from the unit all decked out in their gear.

"Alpha Jake, Sawyer, we came as soon as we heard. We have orders out to the unit to start looking for Collen, we also have the word out to the other packs on the west and south and my brother has ordered to help on the east and north coasts, I heard Alexander and Adriel? are looking also. What the hell is going on? Where has Adriel been and how come we forgot about him? Collens spell, broken? What exactly happened on that vacation?" Skylar shot questions at me and I shook my head.

"I have no idea the only thing I care about is my missing son. We'll get the answers to everything else later. How's Connor and Eric?" 

"Didn't wake them to tell them yet, I want them to sleep till morning before I tell them because once I do, they won't rest much, like all of us. Jake, that black smoke, only means evil. Something really evil and there are endless possibilities on who or what has him." Skylar broke the news and looked at me nervously, yea I'd be nervous too with how shit in our lives seem to be fucked up especially after something good happens.

"Killian, you need to go to Hell and see if you can find out if any demons have him, see if you can get any information about Collen if any at all." I told him and he nodded, trying to hold himself together. He kissed all the men in the room next to him and he disappeared. 

"Now who are you two?" I asked looking at the two men I didn't know.

"I'm Jagger and this is Ivan, we're Collens mates. Well, true mates but were all mated to one another now." The one said and I'm not surprised Collen has all of them as mates, destined or not, they are mates and a part of the family. 

"It's nice to meet you both, I'm sorry it has to be like this. We will find Collen, I promise." I said and Sawyer and I hugged them and showed them to a room with a big enough bed to fit them all because I know they don't want to be separated right now. 

"Try and get some rest, alright? I'll let you all know anything as soon as I find out. Before I go though let me mark you two as pack so you can listen in as well." I said and I marked Jagger and Ivan on their wrists as pack saying the oath and them agreeing before I went to make plans on having the warriors and trackers go on the hunt for my baby boy. 

Jagger POV 

"Jag?" Ivan called me when Alpha Jake left us be. I took a deep breath and turned to face him and my other mates. 

"I know." Is all I said because we all are thinking of what is going on with Collen. We felt his pain earlier, it wasn't to the point where we couldn't stand but it was intense. We all got into bed and held one another, trying to be strong and not think of what is happening to our beloved mate. 

A few hours later they all were finally sleeping and I was wide awake, worried about Collen and where he could possibly be. I just met him a week ago if that and now he's missing. I don't like sitting around waiting on news, I want to be out there looking for him but I also know I need to be with my mates no matter how much I want to look for Collen. 

Calder POV 

I was seeing red. I will tear apart anyone who knows anything about where he might be. Callahan and I snuck away from our mates to do our own thing. They seemed to have things covered so we left not even bothering to say where we were off to. It may have been wrong to do and maybe a bit suspicious on our part but I couldn’t risk my brother’s safety. Our first stop was home, we haven’t been home in three years and I wished it was under different circumstances. 

“Calder, Callahan, how I’ve missed you.” Our uncle said embracing us in his arms.

“It’s great to see you too uncle but this is not a social visit.” His smile dropped and his eyes grew black. He knew we found our mate a few days after we found Alexander, he also knows about the others. 

“What do you need? I’ll do anything I can.” He was breathing heavy, he was on the verge of going on a rampage. 

“We need all our allies on this, vampires, wolves, everyone we have on our side. Kill anyone who refuses.”

I was not leaving it to chance that anyone who refused was working for the people who took my mate and I’ll kill anyone who is.  

After leaving our uncle’s office Callahan broke down in my arms. “Cally you can’t break down right now, I know it’s the wrong time to say that and it’s insensitive but we have to be strong for Collen. Remember what Father and Daddy used to say, Bonds are forever, mates are eternal.” 

“Cal, I can’t keep doing this, I can’t lose anyone else.” He said in between sobs. Losing a baby and your parents all before you turn 18 is a burden and sorrow I wouldn’t wish on anyone. 

As I held him I thought of the spell my parents taught us when we were fourteen that would use our powers of light and dark and strengthen it somehow. It was worth a try. 

We were at the altar after getting the necessary things when we felt a cold wind. Our parents were here, from time to time the wind would pick up and they always said to always listen to the sound of the wind and you’ll know they’re there. We took a breath and began chanting

"By the fire of his soul, I call upon the ancient light to guide us so that Collen must be found” I started. 

"By the Stars in his soul, I call Starlight to guide me, so that Collen must be found.” he read the next line. 

 "By the scent of his soul, I call smell to guide me, so that Collen must be found." We read together. 

"By the heart of his soul, I call instinct to guide me, so that Collen must be found" We finished the spell and the wind blew harder and the candles blew out. That’s never a good sign under any circumstances. The spirits must be angry. 

We looked around and everything went quiet and then that’s when we saw it, The wolf with red eyes, to most people it would be a bad omen but the black wolf with red eyes is said to be a misguided spirit who had been wronged all his life in one way or another and just needed to be shown the right way. Some say it's the devil coming to earth to raise hell. Vampires have a different theory. The ‘demon wolf’ is said to be the bridge between life and death and has the blood of both a demon and an angel or even a god. 

It looked at us and howled running out of the altar and disappears. I pray to the ancestors that Collen is returned safe, sound, and unharmed. I also pray that the others are having better luck than we are.

Ivan POV

Everything has gone to absolute shit, I finally find my mates and one of them is missing. I hated this feeling of uselessness, back in the ocean I was a warrior, I was the most skilled out of the fifteen hundred men in our tribe I shouldn’t be sitting on my ass like this but I have no clue what to do.

“Ivan.” I heard in my head.

“Go ahead, Malcolm.” I sighed and rubbed my face. 

“There’s movement down here and a tribe is acting suspiciously.” I’ll have to tell the alpha.

“I want you and our allies to track them and let me know if anything happens.” 

Sighing I go occupy my time by being with my mates. 

Adriel POV 

"So your punishment was to live as a human and all our memories were wiped of you and yours of your whole life? Wow God must have really been disappointed in you." Alexander said as we flew to yet another state, searching for any signs of Collen. We have already searched half the east coast and no luck, his scent was all over NC though but that may be because he was recently there but no sign of him. 

"Not as much as I'm disappointed in myself Alexander. No matter the reasons, I should have told him, I know that now. If anything happens to him, I'd kill myself because it's my fault he's missing. If I had just told him, he wouldn't have had to be on vacation, under a spell that could have been broken years ago and getting taken, none of that would have happened if it weren't for me." I can't lose Collen before I had a chance to tell him how I feel about him. 

"Don't blame yourself, I have a feeling this happened because his spell broke, someone or something is trying to keep his wolf dormant and since he's woken up, he disappeared without any trace as to where he is. Why would someone go through all that just to let his wolf be active? They're scared for some reason so don't blame yourself, I'm sure this would have happened years ago or now." I understand what he means but it doesn't help that I still feel at fault, for everything that Collen had been through and I will always regret my choices regarding him. 

We flew around the state of Georgia and Alexander scanned the ground to see if he's anywhere in the Earth but came up empty.

We did that with every state and no luck, either he's in another country or he's hidden with a very powerful protection spell. 

It took a week to search the world with our speed and powers and no luck in finding him and I'm so exhausted and worried out of my mind. Alexander said he felt Collens' pain and I know there is something else but he won't tell me what it is. He tries to hold in the cries but I can hear it and I'm even more worried when he throws up, he did that a few times today alone. 

"Alexander please tell me what you feel?" I begged for the tenth time in the last half hour. 

"You'd know if you had told him you were his mate and marked each other, you would know he is getting beat, he is getting tortured and today Adriel, he's been raped!" My God. 

"I'll be at the pack later, I'll be back." I didn't give him time to reply and just flew away from him, away from anyone, and landed in the woods outside my house. I punched trees, kicked rocks, and just beat the hell out of nature for hours and it still didn't help my building guilt. I know how Collen feels about being in control during intimacy and that control was taken away from him the moment they took advantage of him. I'd never be able to say the right words to help him nor be able to ever ask for his forgiveness. 

I knew I couldn’t do much but I knew I needed help so I flew to heaven to speak to the goddesses and God himself. 

Connor POV

So much has happened these past couple of weeks, daddy and papa have been losing it. I honestly don’t know if they’ll last much longer if Collen isn’t found. We have every supernatural and human Allie on earth, in heaven, hell, the sky, land, and sea looking for him. If there is movement anywhere we’ll know about it and if anyone acts suspicious they will be dealt with accordingly. Skylar and Sam are working overtime to find him sooner rather than later. No one wants what happened to me to happen to him. I called in a few favors since Ben still had army contacts internationally. If there was anything they found to be sketchy they’d let us know. 

"Are you sure Alexander? It's not just a trick to make you all think that?" I heard daddy ask when I was heading to his office, his door was open so I stayed near the end of the hall to listen. 

"Yes, I'm sure. I felt it a few times today and so did the others. I can only imagine how Collen is feeling if the pain I feel is a fraction of his, it's brutal Jake. I got sick each time he was raped and I cried. I wish there was a sign to show us where he is at, a hint of a close location, anything but we're not having any luck. It's like he vanished. There isn't even any detection of a powerful spell anywhere. We won't give up though, not until he's home." I stopped listening after I heard my baby brother was raped but I heard what all was said. I turned around and ran to the closest bathroom and lost my lunch. I don't have to imagine his pain because I know first hand what he's going through. There may be an age difference but it's still the same pain and I don't wish it on anyone, no matter who you are. 

"Are you alright my love?" I heard the sweet voice of my mate and I shook my head no and Skylar sat on the floor next to me and held me in his arms.

"What happened?" He asked and I told him what I heard Alexander tell daddy. 

"Oh goodness, I'm oh I'm gonna kill them. I don't know who they are but once we find them, they will be dead. I'm so tired of the people in my life hurting for bullshit reasons. There is no reason why anyone should hurt someone like that. Do you want me to block any conversations about this with daddy so you don't hear them?" He asked as he looked into my eyes.

"No, I want to know what is happening to my brother, no matter what it is. I need to know." 

"Alright, if that's what you want. We will be there for him, helping him through this once he's home and I know he will appreciate you being there for him the most my love." 

"I always will be. We may be almost twenty years apart but he's my baby brother and I know he'll need me, us when he's found." 

"Yes, he will need you the most though. You have a better understanding of what he's going through than any of us and you know how to help him, we may have helped you but it wasn't all us, you had your family and their support even when you didn't want it, they never gave up on you and that is what Collen is going to need as well. Come, let's get off this floor and go see where we are in the search." He got up first and I took his hand, brushed my teeth and we went to Brayan's office where everyone was and talked about the findings so far on the searches but there wasn't any, not a single thing magical out of place. 

"Has anyone heard from Calder and Callahan? They haven't been here since they arrived with Adriel. That was almost a week ago." Skylar asked and everyone shook their heads.

"No, come to think of it, it's a little suspicious that they vanished as soon as we heard Collen was missing don't you think?" Sam mentioned and he has a point, their mate is missing and they aren't here? It makes one wonder why that is.
