Lucca's POV
Suddenly, Maia stops and smiles, and we're surrounded by heavily armed humans. Judging by the scent - wolfsbane and powdered silver - if we fight, we'll be decimated.
Maia: Well, gentlemen, I was on my way to the pack to retrieve a certain (she takes a deep breath and looks at the Alpha) Alpha, and you bring him to me, along with the Luna.
Erin: Why are you doing this? You are one of us...
Estefan: Mother, why do you want to hand us over to them?
I see Maia look at them, startled, and freeze. I see the Alpha walk towards her.
Lucca: Alpha, don't do it; we're not sure if it works.
Lucca: It works. Look at how she reacted when she heard me.
As soon as he gets close to her, she's breathing rapidly, head down. The moment he touches her face, she smiles and grabs him, immobilizing him with a gun to his head.
Maia: Don't you think I'm a little young to be a mother? Hahaha.
Estefan: Let go of me! Why did you deceive us?
Lucca: Let him go, and I'll go with you.
Maia laughs loudly and orders the other men to restrain us.
Maia: I don't know who said you had the option of not coming with us, but from now on, you are guinea pigs for the Erica Gusmao Clinic. And I guarantee you'll wish you had never left the pack. But don't worry; I'll be back to get your women and children.
Atila: Don't you dare! Don't you dare! I'll kill you!
Atila, already held back by one of the soldiers, struggles. I see Brendon, stupefied, looking at Maia. He's being restrained too, but he doesn't fight back.
Lucca: Brendon, what's wrong?
Brendon: I've never seen her so...subservient to them like this...
Lucca: What are we going to do?
Brendon: Only one person can snap her out of this Alpha-induced trance, my mate. She was always called upon when Maia got out of control.
Lucca: They're going to get them. I hope they can escape and save my Luna.
Brendon: That Alpha female... she's not your mate...
Maia: Silence! Take them all away!
We're taken away, powerless to resist. The smell of silver permeates the air around the soldiers. Not even our wolves would risk dying like this. We're loaded into a cargo truck with an interior lined with silver. We can't even lean against the walls. Each of us is placed in a separate cell, separated by bars, but we can see everyone in the same wing.
Atila: This has to be a nightmare!
Willian: Alpha, my mate is pregnant...
Brendon: Mirtes too.
Bruno: Great... Miranda is also...
Atila: Wonderful... They'll be born fatherless, that is, if they don't take them too.
Lucca: This is strange... where did they put the Alpha?
I see Maia enter the area and walk slowly towards the cell where Luna Erin is.
Maia: Wake up, little prisoner...
Erin: Well, well, Luna.
Maia: What do you mean 'Luna?' Why do you call me that? Where do you know me from?
Erin walks up to the bars and smiles at Maia...
Erin: That's how I met you...
Maia: Impossible! I've always been here... Now shut up and never repeat such an atrocity. Your mate is at this moment being taken to the pack to serve as an incentive for the she-wolves there. And from what I've heard, we'll have pups for the experiments...
Brendon: NO! I beg you, no, no, no! Don't hurt the pups, Maia, by the Goddess! Don't you remember everything we went through? Do you want the little ones to suffer like us?
Maia freezes, her eyes fixed on Brendon. She stands still, staring at him, and the silence is almost deadly until she smiles...
Maia: I'm sorry, I didn't suffer. I matured and became stronger. They gave me what you wolves took from me...
Lucca: What did we take?
Maia: Family.
She leaves, and Brendon is left desolate, crying.
Brendon: My baby, my baby...
Lucca: Why does she think we took her family?
Brendon: In this version she's in, we killed her parents...
Erin: Mercy...
