Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 65

ADAM.

I was ready to give up. I couldn’t fight anymore. The witches hadn’t hurt me physically, but they had used magic to make me betray Amber. I had told them everything, and I hated myself for it. I had seen them bring Chris in and put him in the next room. Sometimes, I had been able to hear his whimpers of pain. Rusty was feeling it, too. The blonde witch had come and given me water earlier , after she’d taunted me about how Jason was going to get rid of my family and make Amber his Luna. I didn’t want to live to see any of that come to pass.

I heard a commotion outside the door, and suddenly, it opened to reveal Amber stood there. My heart quickened at the sight of her. She rushed over to me and began removing the ropes that had silver threads running through them. She was knelt in front of me, her Hazel eyes filled with concern. I could feel my skin tingling where her fingers touched it. Once I was free, she threw her arms around me. I had longed for this since finding out that she was my mate, longer if I’m honest. I wrapped mine around her and held her close. I breathed her in deeply, but something wasn’t quite right. I shook it off. It was probably just the situation. I suggested that we get Chris and get out of there.

Amber grabbed my hand and pulled me back. “Can we just take a moment first?” she asked sweetly “I just want one little moment with my mate.” She said, looking into my eyes as she did. My heart jumped with joy at hearing her call me her mate. I quickly closed the gap between us and gently brought my lips down to hers. She kissed me passionately. This should have felt wonderful. When true mates k**s, it’s said to feel like the whole world just melts away, leaving just the two of you. It’s supposed to be a feeling of pure joy. It makes you feel complete. This k**s was good, but it didn’t feel how I’d expected. Rusty was growling and howling I. My head. He should have been overjoyed at us kissing our mate, yet it seemed to be upsetting him, maybe even hurting him. This made ko sense.

BECKY.

Me and Amber had spent the afternoon curled up on Adam’s sofa with mugs of tea just chatting. It was so good to just forget everything that was happening for a little bit and just enjoy being with my friend. She had gone to the kitchen to refill our mugs when I heard her scream in pain and heard the sound of a mug smashing as it crashed to the floor. I ran in and found her writhing in pain on the kitchen tiles. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want her to be in pain, and yet at the same time, all I could think about was how her pain meant that my brother was being hurt, didn’t it? That’s what Doctor Hill had said. She was feeling her mates pain. Luckily at that moment my parents arrived. Mum got dad settled on the sofa and rushed over to help.

Mum asked what had happened, and between us, we explained. Amber told her about the pain. It wasn’t like before. This was worse. It felt like her heart was being crushed slowly by icy fingers. Mum gasped. “He wouldn’t.” She said. “Who wouldn’t what?” I asked desperately. Mum explained that this sounded like the pain a werewolf feels when they are betrayed by their mate. “Betrayed, what like Adam had told them about her?” I asked “he may not have had a choice.” I defended him. Mum shook her head “A physical or s****l betrayal.” She said quietly “That pain is caused by our mate being with another.” She said. The room fell silent as the reality of her words sank in. Had Adam willingly joined the other side? How was he getting physical with someone if he was being held prisoner? How could he do this? That wasn’t the brother that I knew and loved. There had to be an explanation.

We helped Amber up and got her to the living room, where we placed her in an armchair. I told Mum that Amber had realised that Adam was her mate as soon as we’d entered his house. Mum looked pale and tired. She glanced between Dad and Amber. “Well, it’s just you and me, kid. We are all the defence we have.” She said, trying to make her voice sound light and carefree, but failing. I took her hand “We’ve got this mum.” I told her. Her phone pinged, disturbing us. It was a security alert from the restaurant, someone had broken in. Mum looked a little afraid, so I gave her hand a gentle squeeze. It wouldn’t be long before we were found.

KIM.

As I kissed him, I couldn’t help but feel victorious. I knew that she would feel it. Not as much as if they had mated and marked each other, completing their bond, but still, it would hurt her. I ran my hand down his sweat and dirt covered torso. I had to admit that his body was desirable. It was worth having to use a spell to make myself look like her, and I’d given him Tanya’s potion that fakes symptoms of being near your mate in his water earlier. My plan was to fully seduce him. Make her feel it and then kill him and make her feel that.

I had gone to see Chris earlier. Offered to free him so we could be together even. He f*****g rejected me! He was lying broken and bruised, covered in dirt and dried b***d. I was offering him salvation, he should have been f*****g grateful. Yet he was still pining for that b***h. I had took great pleasure in informing him that Adam was Amber’s mate. So even if he got out of here, she would never be with him. A tear rolled down his cheek and he sighed in sorrow. “As long as she’s happy.” He almost whispered. I knelt down next to him “I could make you happy.” I said. He laughed, he f*****g laughed “NEVER!” he shouted. I hit him and walked out. That’s when I came up with the plan to hurt her. I had gone to her house and got some of her clothes to wear, her perfume and some hair from her brush, I needed her dna to become her.
