Chapter 347 Ruin Everything 

Amir’s p.o.v. 

“Amir, wake up.” Pedro says as he opens the door to my bedroom and holds out a phone. 

Something just left Shadewoods Mansion out of one of the back windows. Not sure what it is, but you better get here now. 

A message from the team that watches the mansion and I wake up the rest of my team to accompany me to the mansion. 

Whatever it was, it jumped into the trees. 

Now I am intrigued, Matrius is finally showing some interest in the outside world again. Usually he just lies in the back of my head and shows up whenever I need him, but he barely speaks to me anymore. 

“I talk when I need to.” Matrius mumbles. 

We get to my other team about five minutes later and we get a quick update on the whereabouts of the mysterious Shifter who left the mansion. 

I let Matrius listen for any sound and I can feel his frustration grow when he can’t hear a sound, which supports my suspicion of a Shifter. 

“What kind of Shifter can move through trees without making a sound?” Matrius asks me. 

“A well trained Feline Shifter.” I answer him, not that I have ever met a Feline Shifter. 

We are aware of other Shifters, but most of them don’t interact with Wolves and Lycans and my Mother always believed that it is the reason why some of us have a hard time finding our fated Mate. 

The rustling of leaves draws my attention to a tree on my left and my eyes widen when I am staring into the eyes of a Mountain Lion, who softly jumps from the branch in front of me. The Mountain Lion slowly moves behind some bushes and a minute later my jaw drops. 

“Giselle?” I hear Wade ask and the female shakes her head. 

“My name is Mateja and I don’t know anyone by that name.” She answers Wade and I realize that this is Lucas‘ Half–sister. 

“Why don’t we get out of here? We can deal with the questions later.” I suggest and order my other team to resume their observation of the mansion. 

Within ten minutes we are back at the house and I show Mateja the room she can use, still a little baffled. 

“Why did you call me Giselle?” Mateja asks Wade the moment she walks into the living room and Pedro turns his laptop around to show her a picture of Giselle. 

She steps closer to the screen and we can hear her mutter under her breath, she doesn’t sound happy at all. Maybe she can help us with the two mysteries we have and maybe she can’t. 

“That is how he is getting you off his back, by making you think that she is dead.” Mateja growls softly and I am obviously not the only one that doesn’t understand her. 

“Echo insisted on leaving the mansion tonight, even though I figured that we still had up to a week to

couldn’t understand his remark about me doing what I needed to do for him. 

Finished 

I just got my answer with that picture, if he kidnaps Giselle and leaves my body out there to be found…” She lets the sentence trail off, we are smart enough to finish it ourselves. 

Every person in the room has trouble controlling their Wolf, our Shifter sides don’t like injustice. Well, most Shifters don’t and that means a struggle for control over the Human body when a Shifter hears about injustice. 

Clover is the first one that is able to calm down her Wolf and I see a smirk on her face as she turns towards 

the others. 

“Lucas would have failed, Giselle is marked and without actually killing her the bond stays intact.” Clover says and it helps to calm down the other Wolves in the room. 

“No offense, but she isn’t eighteen yet and can’t find her fated Mate.” Mateja responds. None of us responds to her statement and she seems to understand that we have no reason to trust her. 

“Okay, I understand you don’t want to explain this to me. I just want you to know that I will tell you everything I know about Lucas‘ plans and I know just about everything. The place where he plans on holding Giselle, how he plans on taking her if he can find her. 

Lucas is still hoping that Alpha Alexander can get her back to Onyx Star Pack in time, but I have a funny feeling that he will be waiting for an eternity for that to happen.” Mateja says. 

“I can even help you with that.” She says while pointing at the whiteboard. 

We stare at the whiteboard with ten names on it and no clue as to their whereabouts. The location that Clover found in Rogueyard, which was rented by Marcel, had been abandoned and we hadn’t found any other property that was rented in Marcel’s name. 

“They are at the same location that he wants to hold Giselle at, if I remember correctly then each of them was trained for a specific task within that location.” Mateja says. “I don’t know the tasks they were trained for, but it didn’t sound good.” 

Now the time–table for the disappearances makes sense, it takes longer to break a male than a female. It is easier to break someone within a year of being rejected or if they are older or without their Shifter half. 

Grabbing Dorian might have served two purposes; on one hand he would be easy to break and on the other his surveillance wouldn’t take up a lot of time. They had been in a hurry to find the last of their Servants, it was getting closer to Giselle’s birthday and the next Full Moon. 

“Lucas has been preparing for this after he lost his chance with June and he has gone over every possible scenario he could think of, except for his next victim to be marked.” Mateja says. 

It makes sense that he would be more careful this time, but it didn’t do him any good. He couldn’t have foreseen that Adora would have forced a shift to save her Human or that they would be in the same room as their fated Mate on ‘a Full Moon. 

No matter how many scenarios Lucas went through, he overlooked the one that could ruin everything.
