Free Lacy Seeing Double by Jana Leigh

communicate. Their phones would not work and computers would not connect to the internet. It was like there was interference.
    Dalton had been able to „pop" in and out of the compound, but since he returned with his mate Blaine two weeks ago; he had also been unable to leave. It was frustrating. Cami, the Alpha female, had found a way to send out Blaine"s brothers before the spell that surrounded the town became too strong. But they had no clue if they had gained the help of the witches.
    Thank goodness they had food and water. The Pack store had received a shipment just the day before they had been attacked. Cami had been in the compound with the rest of the Council members that Dalton had not popped to help Kira. The black cloud at first only looked like a harmless cloud that was being used to scare them. Jo contacted her father and he was the one who told them that they were dealing with witches.
    At first Cami had been excited. She was going to meet another new magical person.
    Now she was just pissed. How dare they hold them hostage? They were not even asking them for anything. That was the most frustrating thing; they had no clue what the end game was supposed to be.
    Quin thought that they were trying to prevent them from finding the rest of the Chosen.
    He also knew they could not hold up this spell forever. The energy it was taking to keep it in place had to be draining the witch. They could only hope that someday soon it would weaken enough so they could fight their attackers.
    Dalton was the only one of them who knew what exactly witches could do and the news was not good.
    “I am telling you. If these are black witches, we have our work cut out for us. They use their powers against nature. When a witch is born, they are usually a white, red, blue, or green witch. These each have certain powers that help the witch find where they are most useful in the coven and to humanity. When a witch turns her back on her powers and uses them for personal gain or to harm someone the lines begin to blur. Once they step over the line, there is no going back. From there the powers become unstable.
    They lose their sense of right and wrong. It is like a psychopath on steroids.” Dalton said and ran his hands through his hair.
    “Great. There has to be more than one of them out there. So what you are telling me is that we have the Charles Mason of witches outside the gate to our home?” Jaden said dryly.
    “Exactly.” Dalton said.
    They all paused to digest the information. Cami was the one to break the silence. “Fuck a duck.”
    Everyone laughed but nodded. They had children and elderly to protect, no one was going to surrender, and they just needed to figure out how they were going to deal with this.
    Blaine said, “If my brothers made it to New Orleans and found the coven, we may be getting help any day.”
    Quin nodded and looked at Blaine and frowned. “Have you seen anything?” He asked.
    Blaine looked at his mates and said, “No, we have only seen what I have told you. I cannot allow my mates to mark me until my brother"s return or we will all be dead. I don"t know why. It really doesn"t make any sense to me but that is what the spirits have shown us. I have talked to my mother, she doesn"t know either.” Kira spoke up and said, “I have a theory. Of course, it"s just a theory. Blaine and Dalton think I"m crazy but I will throw it out there.”
    Blaine rolled his eyes and Dalton sat back, folded his arms, and laughed. That earned them both a glare from their mate.
    “Since there is really nothing else to do but worry, pace and have sex. I would avoid from pissing off your mate.” Cloe said and laughed when her mates frowned at her.
    “As I was saying.” Kira said blushing. She had yet to get used to all the Chosen being such close friends. She felt a little like an outsider, but she also thought that was because Blaine had not yet claimed them. “When mates claim each other, a bond appears, right?” When
