Chapter 127: Alan's Plan

Alan's P.O.V.

Whoever this witch is who took Sydney and Lindy has some powerful magic. Typically, I can get a trace of another person, but her presence is strong. That can help us, but also hurt us. She has to be extremely old and be an expert in her craft. Getting to the women won't be easy.

"What are you thinking?" Delaine asks, taking my hand. When she touches me, I instantly feel like I can think clearly. We may have known each other for less than a day, but she's already my rock.

"I have an idea, but it's going to be risky," I tell her, kissing her forehead. Delaine looks up at me and smiles slightly.

"I trust you. If it gets Syd and Lindy back, that's all that matters, so tell us your plan," she says while pulling me toward the others.

"Everyone, listen up. Alan has a plan," Delaine announces. The others stop talking and look at us.

"This witch is powerful, so we have to tread carefully. I believe the best way to reach her realm is to trick her. I will use my power to break through her barrier. Most of the misfits will go in through that way with me. While we're doing that, she should come for us, and Delaine will use her magic to hide the bunnies, Dallas and Dayan, as they go in. We will keep her distracted for as long as possible before joining you. Everyone must be careful because once we're in her realm, she'll know and can kill us all. Another thing is that it's best if those of us who have found our mates mark each other so we can mindlink no matter where we are." I look around, and everyone is nodding.

"Let's mark our mates and then go save the bunnies," Jordan says. I know this isn't the typical way we should mark our mates, but we don't have a choice right now. I turn to Delaine.

"Are you ready to be marked by a fox?" I ask her as she wraps her arms around my neck.

"I can't wait. Are you ready to be marked by a bunny? You know, typically, a fox would eat a bunny," she says, raising her eyebrows at me. I lean down to whisper in her ear.

"Once we save Sydney and Lindy, I will eat you plenty. I can't think of a better celebration meal." I kiss her as her mouth falls open.

"I'm going to hold you to that. Do you want to go first?" She tilts her head, and I kiss her neck.

"No, you go first. I want to be claimed before I take what's mine," I tell her, leaning down so she can mark me.

"My pleasure." When I feel her bite into me, my legs almost give out. I understand why people do this in the bedroom now. I want to be inside of her right now. When she pulls back, she smiles and tilts her head.

"Your turn, sexy fox." When Delaine calls me sexy fox, it makes me hard. After this is over, I'm going to need some quality time with my bunny. Let's put that saying, fuck like bunnies, to use and make it true. I bite into her neck, and she moans while holding onto me tightly. I'm going to kill this witch more than once for robbing us of our mating orgasms. This is cruel. I smile and look into her gorgeous eyes when I'm done.

"I love you."  I mindlink her.

"I love you too. Now, let's go get my sisters."  I turn around, and the others who mated look glassy-eyed as well.

"Alright, let's go to the witch's realm." I see Anya telling Sally to stay behind and that we will take her with us when we get back. I have to keep the hope that all of us will come back. Dealing with witches can be deadly.

I lead everyone into the forest. I inhale the witch's scent and pick up on the portal to her realm. No one can see it when we reach it, but I know it's there. She's hidden it well.

"Okay, we will go in first. Wait five minutes, and then Delaine, you lead the others. Keep in contact through mindlink as best you can. I don't know what to expect because her realm will be whatever she's made it to be. Please be careful, everyone." I kiss Delaine and show her how to go through the portal. Once I'm sure she understands, I kiss her again before me, and the misfits jump through. This is it. Either we'll save Sydney and Lindy and come out alive, or we'll all be dead. Please don't let me lead us all to our slaughter.

Norea's P.O.V.

After returning Sydney to her cage, I went to get the other supplies I needed. I can't believe I can actually put my plan into motion. I have been waiting for centuries to do this. I was almost ready about a hundred years ago, but a few of the shifters died. I was so angry that I killed the rest, took a break, and started over. Now I have what I need, and they're all alive.

When I return home, I begin setting everything up. I'm sure the two bunnies are awake now, and just like all my other shifters, they have no clue what's going on. I open the door to the room of cages and rub my hands together excitedly.

"Hello, everyone. The time has come for you to make yourselves useful. This has been a long time coming, and now, thanks to all of you, I can finally accomplish my biggest goal," I tell them as I walk around looking at my specimens.

"Bitch, you better let us go. We are not your playthings to do with as you please." Lindy says, when I get to her cage. I laugh as I keep walking.

"That's where you're wrong. You are here because I need you. I'm not going to play with you. I'm going to take all of your blood and mix it with the blood of all the other shifters here. Once I have the blood from everyone, I have a special potion to combine it and create a super shifter. It will be the first of its kind," I explain as they all look at me in horror.

"What do you mean by a super shifter?" Sydney asks me. I have a soft spot for her after watching her kill Doug, so I'll kill her last.

"A shifter who can shift into every kind of shifter known to man. Together, he and I will take over the world." As soon as the words are out of my mouth, I freeze. Someone just came through my portal. I concentrate on seeing who it is. I turn to Lindy and Sydney with a smirk.

"It looks like some misfits have made their way to my home. Let me go kill them, and then I'll return to take care of you." I run out of the room while the two bunnies yell profanities at me. They're so stupid thinking they can sneak into my realm. All they are doing is guaranteeing their deaths.
