Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 47

AMBER.

I had found the library it was a big old looking building. With big arched windows on either side of the large wooden door. I pushed it open and stepped inside. It smelt slightly musty. There were shelves filled with books, and the light streamed in from the big, glass dome on the ceiling. There were computers against the back wall and tables near one of the windows. Over in a corner, I saw the librarian. She was a stern looking older woman with her grey hair pulled back in a plait. She looked up at me as I entered and then returned to reading the book she had open on the desk in front of her.

I began to explore the shelves, hoping to find what I was looking for. Once I had selected a few books, I settled myself down at one of the tables and pulled out a notebook and pen from my bag. Picking up the first book, I wrote down the title ‘Witches, Wizards and Warlocks’ I began reading and made notes as I went. I read that they are known collectively casters for their magic and spell casting abilities. They can all live for hundred of years and age very slowly once they reach adulthood. Wizards are the least powerful of the three, and Warlocks are the most powerful. The book mentioned a Warlock named Cole. He was feared and very powerful. Apparently, he had been killed during a war over a baby. Along with many of his followers.

Witches generally belong to a coven, but they don’t live together as coven. Witches enjoy solitude, so tend to live alone or with family members. Wizards do not form groups they work completely alone. They are regarded to be the wisest of the three. Powerful Warlocks tend to lead groups of witches and lesser warlocks. The book was full of information, but I couldn’t see how most of it would help me when it comes to Tanya.

I turned the page and saw something that could actually be useful. There is a spell that can be used by non magic wielding beings on casters of all kinds. It renders them powerless for twenty-four hours. I wrote the spell down and closed the book. I had everything that I needed from it. I read through the other books that I had picked up and wrote a few notes as I went.

I discovered that Lakeside wasn’t as old as the other packs in the area. It was started by my great grandparents Alpha Thomas and Luna Molly Andrews. They had once belonged to the B***d Moon pack, but it had been taken over after their Alpha, who was Thomas’s father, was defeated in a challenge. They had decided to leave B***d Moon rather than live under the new Alpha. Some of the pack followed them, and they formed Lakeside. I had seen their graves up at the Alpha cemetery.

My grandfather Michael had taken over from his father as Alpha with his Luna Abigail at his side. They had a daughter, my mum, but no son to inherit the Alpha title. My mum mated to the second born son of the Alpha of the Night Forest pack. They met at the bi annual gift of the Goddess ball. I had no idea what that was.

My father became Alpha of Lakeside with my mum as his Luna when my grandparents retired. It doesn’t mention their deaths, and I didn’t see their graves. I would have to ask Ellie where they are. I would love to meet them. It says that my parents and I were all killed in a rogue attack on the way home from visiting our family at Night Forest. Of course, I knew that wasn’t completely true.

According to the book, Beta David Stone assumed the Alpha position in the pack after this as their was no Alpha to take it, and he was the next highest ranking blooded wolf. He had no Luna but already had a son Jason, who he passed the title of Alpha on to.

ADAM.

I felt better this morning, having finally got everything off my chest. I knew Becky had meant it when she promised that she wouldn’t tell anyone about it. If I’m right and Amber is my mate, then I want her to come to that realisation on her own, and if she chooses to be with Jason, then I want that to be her choice. Who would blame her, he’s the f*****g Alpha and I’m just an omega working in my family restaurant. Life as a Luna would be better than anything I could offer her.

I had been working in the kitchen this morning to give dad the morning off. I would be back in later to work out front for the dinner shift. Lunchtime I was walking down main street when I overheard a group of pack warriors talking about having captured someone “I expected a future Alpha to be more of a challenge” one of them laughed. I kept my head down and carried on walking. What future Alpha? I wondered. It took a while before I remembered Amber’s ex. I hadn’t seen him around lately, I figured she had told him to leave. I didn’t know that he was a future Alpha, but I guess she had a type, i smirked to myself. I wondered what pack he belonged to if it was him, after all this could start a f*****g war.

I made my way to Bluebell cottage. I didn’t really want to see her right now as when she was near me I just wanted to grab her and claim her as mine. She needed to know that her ex might be in danger though so I knew that I had to man up and do the right thing. There was no one home and her phone was turned off so I headed home. I called Becky and filled her in asking her to pass on the message. That way Amber would know, and I wouldn’t have to be near her. Why didn’t I think of that earlier.
