It was eleven o'clock in the evening and Lachlan was in the middle of a meeting with the elders and other packmates when Noaz and Erick came walking in the room, without knocking.
Lachlan scowled at the disrespect that they were showing when Erick rushed in to say, "Da-- Alpha! Apologies for coming in without permission but we have an emergency."
His Alpha stood up, his palms on the table as he leaned closer. The elders and the other packmates turned around in their seats as they looked at Noaz and Erick in surprise. "What happened?" Lachlan asked darkly.
A blonde man with grey eyes pushed his way in, shoving Noaz and Erick aside. His furious demeanor nearly shook the whole room as his eyes blazed with rage and dissatisfaction. His fists clenched at his sides before he crossed his arms across his powerful chest, glaring across the room. Another man stood behind him, standing tall with respect, his hands behind his back.
Lachlan narrowed his eyes at the newcomers. "What brings the Cesaro Alpha here?" he asked.
The blonde man with the furious grey eyes was actually Bastian's father, Riedrich Cesaro. And behind him was Paxon, the same shifter who went with them before on a mission.
"My son was kidnapped!" Riedrich shouted, sounding infuriated as he slammed his fist on the long table in front of him.
Lachlan narrowed his eyes more at the disrespect the other Alpha was showing to him. Even if he was an Alpha as well, it does not mean that Lachlan was an Alpha that can be easily bullied and mocked.
"And what of it?" Lachlan asked, his arms crossed across his chest.
"My son was last seen with YOUR son and his friends! And from what your packmate has told me that it was a warlock who had stolen him away!" Riedrich shouted, still looking furious.
Erick took a step forward. "Not just Bastian, Alpha. My mate, Amber was kidnapped as well!"
Lachlan whirled around to face his son. "Amber?" he repeated in shock.
Erick nodded.
Lachlan then turned to Noaz, who was standing behind Erick. "Tell me everything," he ordered.
Noaz immediately told his Alpha of what happened. He had just arrived at the scene when the black portal had appeared underneath Bastian. He had quickly shifted into Briven but similarly to Kaius, he could not do anything to the barrier. He was surprised that the barrier was strong to endure a shifter's strength. No matter how much he tried to smash him, he could not make a single dent on the barrier. Even when Erick's mate was sucked in together with Bastian, Briven did not stop trying to smash in. He tried to look for the warlock who had casted the spell. Apparently, he could not see him. It seems that only those who were inside the barrier could see the young warlock.
The barrier was gone once he realized that the warlock had left the scene and the two people were kidnapped, leaving the terrified young teenagers and the distraught young man who kept shouting for Amber's name. Hamish had already shifted back and had already put on his clothes.
Briven too turned back to his human self and quickly put on his clothes. He then rushed over to Erick who was cursing out loud, stomping on the ground. Jeayan and the others stood in one place, looking shocked.
Knowing Erick was not in a good condition to talk, Noaz walked over to Jeayan and asked her what had happened.
Shocked that the future Alpha of the Cesaro pack was kidnapped while the Kendall pack was around, he knew he had to meet with the Cesaro Alpha to report on the news before misunderstanding occurs.
Hence why before he reported back to his Alpha, he went over to the Cesaro pack, together with Erick. As for the rest, he had ordered Hamish and Isaac to return back to the Burkendall town. He also ordered them to make sure that they would not tell anyone of what had happened here, especially their human friends. Dana was still shell-shocked but she did promise that she would not tell a soul about what had happened there.
After the two groups went their separate ways, Noaz immediately went to the Cesaro pack, where he was welcomed by the anger of the Alpha and Luna of the Cesaro pack. Paxon had to calm his Alpha down, preventing him from killing Noaz, else Lachlan may get his revenge.
In the end, after much consolation and persuasion, the Cesaro Alpha agreed to accompany Noaz and Erick to Burkendall town to meet with Lachlan, together with Paxon.
Which led to the scene of Riedrich Cesaro confronting Lachlan.
After listening to Noaz's report, Lachlan knew he could not blame him. There was nothing he could do but Lachlan do applaud him for notifying the Cesaro pack immediately. Even if he was supposed to report to Lachlan first, since he was his Alpha.
Lachlan then turned to Riedrich and invited him to have a seat, wanting to have a calm conversation. He then continued the meeting, this time, together with Riedrich and Paxon, who stood behind his Alpha. Erick stayed behind while Noaz went out to inform Amber's parents.
Apparently, the meeting would be on the infiltration of the mansion, which Isaiah had told them about. Isaiah had his suspicions that his granddaughter was being held there, not too far from the Cairin Oaks and the forest. Hence, there was also a possibility that Bastian Cesaro and Amber Keene were being held there.
Although Isaiah could not help much when the Kendall packs were working hard to retrieve his granddaughter back, he had contributed a lot by giving everything he knew about Rehan and the mysterious man he reported to. Now, adding with the kidnapping of Bastian and Amber, it seems like they needed to work fast before anything could happen to them.
After listening to Lachlan and Isaiah's plan, Riedrich nodded, agreeing with them. He was slightly surprised to hear that a strong pack like the Cairin pack was under a warlock's spell for so long. It was not a surprise that he did not know of this since the Cairin pack usually kept to themselves and were not involved with the outside world.
The two Alpha then decided to send their strongest fighters for the infiltration. From the Kendall pack; Fergus will be the leader. And in his group, there were shifters such as Latham, Elder Aziel and Elder Ulanni. Erick and Hamish were in the group who will be joining the infiltration. As well as Paccia, to counterattack the warlocks.
As for the Cesaro pack, their Alpha will be the leader, with Paxon and another five more shifters from their packs.
Not wanting to waste anymore time, they decided to infiltrate the very next morning.
The next morning.
Lachlan was already in his office when one of his deputies had knocked on his door, saying that there was someone who wanted to meet him.
Sensing that there was no danger, he told his deputy to invite them to his office.
When that someone walked in the room, Lachlan realized that there were two of them; Amber's parents. Knowing that they might be here because of the kidnapping, he politely invited the two of them to sit.
The looks on their faces were haggard and it seems like the two of them had a sleepless night, seeing how there were dark circles under their eyes. Their clothes looked a bit crumpled as well, probably them staying up all night, waiting for any news.
Lachlan felt sympathy for these parents. How can a parent be able to live, knowing that their loved ones were kidnapped? Looking at their distraught expression, Isaiah's desperate face came to his mind. He was like them too. Pushed to the corner, he had to endure the insults and more from the warlock, just to ensure his granddaughter was safe.
Before Amber's parents could say anything, Lachlan was already talking. "We will do whatever we can to find your daughter. I apologized for not informing you beforehand. Right at this moment, we have sent some of our forces to look for them."
Eren Keene rubbed his face with relief. His other hand was being held by his wife's hands. "Thank you, Chief."
"It must have been quite a shock when you were informed about your daughter's kidnapping," Lachlan said.
"I thank you again for sending one of your people to inform us. Or else, we would be in the dark for who knows when," Eren said kindly, his hand rubbing the back of his wife, who was silently sobbing, clearly worried for her daughter.
Lachlan nodded. Usually when a kidnapping has occurred, the parents or guardians of the said-kidnapped person usually have to report after 24 hours. But because the kidnapping had occured right in front of Erick and the others, Lachlan felt it was important at that time to not follow the normal protocol.
"We will do our utmost best to look for her and to ensure she is safe and sound," Lachlan promised.
