Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 63

BETA EDWARDS.

I was thoroughly enjoying the look on Stone’s face. His brother didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on, which seemed odd given that he was the Beta. Stone almost s**t his pants when Council member Perry asked to see the dungeon. He couldn’t refuse without looking guilty and couldn’t show us without proving his guilt. Either way, he was screwed, and he knew it.

He was still trying to think of a solution when his beta spoke up “Of course, the dungeon is right this way. There’s no one down there, though.” He said. We followed him to the heavy wooden door. Stone was right behind us, still looking worried. We descended the stairs, the cold, damp air hitting us as we neared the bottom. The thought of Chris being locked in here by that jackass made my b***d boil. We walked along the narrow corridor, checking each cell as we passed, but they were all empty. What the f**k???? We knew that the information that Chris was being held captive was good. It had come from a very reliable source, and yet there was no sign of him. I couldn’t even smell him. I glanced at Stone and he looked as confused as me. Although he looked extremely relieved as well.

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw that empty cell. Although it did raise a few questions. Where was Baxter? Who had taken him? What the f**k do I do now? Once they had seen that the dungeon was empty there was no reason for Perry and Edwards to stay. Yet they decided to spend the night anyway. This irritated me, I needed to find out what had happened here. I also needed to find out who had betrayed me in the first place to bring them here. It would be much easier without those two around.

I had Molly, one of my maids show them to two of the guest rooms and made my way to my office with Dean on my heels. “Jason, what the f**k is going on?” He asked when we got there. “Nothing. Just someone trying to cause trouble. Hou saw for yourself that the dungeon was empty.” I told him, trying to sound nonchalant. He clicked his tongue impatiently “Who the f**k do you think you’re talking too? I’m not some random mutt that will fall for your bullshit. I’m your brother, and supposedly your f*****g bera. Now stop f*****g lying to me.” He said raising his voice slightly. I walked right up to him and scowled “Who the f**k do You think that You are talking too?” I asked emphasising the word you. “You may be the beta but I’m the f*****g Alpha, and I will tell you exactly what I f*****g want to tell you. If you don’t like it step the f**k down or f**k off to another pack. Otherwise back the f**k down little brother. Don’t make me physically put you in your place.” I growled the warning. He sniggered “I might just do that.” He said before walking out. That’s all I f*****g need.

AMBER.

Sitting in the hospital with Becky she was holding my hand, waiting for news. Ellie came out of the room and told that Peter was going to be just fine. Max was healing him already. I felt the relief wash over Becky. Ellie didn’t want to leave Peter alone just in case anyone tried anything, but told us to head home. My phone pinged with a text from Jason telling me that something had come up and I should go back to my house. He said that he would come and see me later. I didn’t trust myself to be near him right now so Instead I suggested that we go to Becky’s house. Ellie stopped us and said that she didn’t want us to go there in case someone came looking. She gave us a key and said to go to Adam’s house instead.

We took a slow, quiet work there together. We arrived and I stopped in surprise. This was the house where I’d found that scent. Was that Adam’s scent? We entered and the smell was stronger. I felt it wash over me and wanted to lose myself in it. Star started jumping around in my mind. “Star, what’s going on?” I asked her. “Mate” she purred. Wait! Was she saying what I thought she was saying? Is Adam my mate? “Yes” she answered my thought. I sat down heavily on the floor. “Amber? What’s wrong?” Becky knelt beside me looking worried. I looked up into her big brown eyes. “Adam is my mate.” I said quietly. I was afraid that she would be upset about it. He was her brother after all. To my surprise she broke into a huge grin. “I know” she said. “Adam told me. I’m sorry I didn’t say anything, but he made me promise not to. He wanted you to realise on your own.” She told me wrapping me up in a big hug. “We are going to be sisters.” She said excitedly. “We have to find him first and get him back.” I reminded her. I wasn’t sure if it was Adam’s scent or everything that had happened but I was starting to feel a bit light headed. I needed to lie down.

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I was getting ready to head over to Bluebell cottage. The little something extra that I’d put in Amber’s food earlier should be starting to kick in. She should be much more receptive to my advances now. All the other problems could wait until tomorrow. Tonight, I would make her mine. Once she was, I would be unstoppable. I was about to leave when my phone pinged. I8t was a message from Tanya telling me that she had Chris. I closed my office door and dialled her number. She told me that she had still been in Lakeside after coming to help me find Amber. She had seen Perry arrive. She knew who he was, and so she had taken Chris from the dungeon and used magic to conceal that he was ever there. Goddess, I could k**s that woman. She had saved my a*s. I told her that I would show her my appreciation tomorrow once they’d left, and she giggled. I felt much more relaxed now. I put my phone away and headed out.
