before I attacked her.” She wipes her eyes and sniffles before continuing. “He took them where no one would interfere. He wants to; he needs to do the spell today in order to get the whole Covenant's powers, not just the powers in the doll.”
    “Where would he take them, then?” I ask her- but after reading her thoughts I know exactly where.
    She looks at all of us squarely in the eyes in order to make the point that she isn’t joking around. “The Underworld. He knows that no one is courageous enough to go down there and with more than half our Covenant injured he thinks we won’t go down there to get them. But he’s underestimating me. I don’t care if my Witch powers don’t work, my Wolf ones will and I’m going to get them back and kill that asshole.”
    No one says anything for a second. A mission to the Underworld is a suicide mission because our powers don’t work down there. “Our powers won’t work, but I’ve read that potions do. We can go stock up on all kinds of potions and weapons and then go down,” I say, but stop when I notice Yashira look at me as if I’m crazy. “I’m going- even if it’s just me and Rebecca. I will not let Alana and John face death knowing we could do something to stop it.”
    “He’s right,” Wyatt says to Yashira. “I hate to have to choose, but you can stay here with your sister and I’ll go down with them and the rest of the Wolves.”
    Yashira looks at him incredulously for a few seconds before responding: “I’m not leaving you alone!  Milissa is fine at the compound with all the others there. They have all been healed and will have the poisons out of them in no time and then they will be able to protect one another.”
    “Am I missing something here?” Rebecca asks them. I give her a pointed look and she says “Ah, I see. You guys have found out you’re mates?”
    Both their cheeks get pink and they nod their heads at her. “We will both go, too,” Wyatt says to Rebecca and me.
    Justin, Jorge, and Eva speak up and say they will join us as well. “We cannot allow our Alpha to go headfirst into danger without us. We would not be able to live with ourselves if she never came back,” Eva says to me.
    “Okay, let’s go stock up,” Rebecca says, perhaps a little too excited to return to battle.

Alana
    I remember Jeffrey knocking me out but I was not expecting to be in a cave when I woke up. There are bars like to a cell but no windows and no bed or anything to lie on. I am on the floor of dirt and dried up Demon blood .
    I am about to start calling for someone and demand to know where I am when Jeffrey comes strolling in. He looks a little too happy to have me here. “Where am I? What do you want from me?” I ask.
    He laughs at me, a full body laugh that doesn't belong to the eerie smile he had. “You mean you don’t recognize this place? Oh yeah, that would mean coming down here from time to time to get a look at it. And your people don’t like to come down here because their powers don’t work in the Underworld,” he finishes with a menacing laugh that makes me retreat a few steps back.
    “The Underworld? What the heck do you have me down here for?” I say, sounding stronger and braver than I feel at the moment.
    “My dear, you and your mate are going to perform the spell that I need in order to get your powers from this stupid doll and each and every one of you that is still alive after that nasty fight we just had,” he says, holding up Annie for me to see.
    “How did you get her? How am I supposed to do a spell if my powers don’t work down here?” I say to him, trying to get as much information as possible.
    “Oh, you see- I’m an illusionist. I can create an illusion to use as a decoy which is what I did as soon as I found the doll. It only holds its appearance for two days, but that is plenty of time to get this spell done. As for the spell: you can cast spells down here, as well as use potions- just no powers are
