Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 78

CHRIS.

I was feeling much better today. The wolfs bane was completely gone, and now my wolf Leo was finally able to heal us both. I had managed to take a shower this morning and felt fresh. As great as the people here had been, I was dying to go home. I also wanted to go and see Amber. I knew that Adam was her mate, and that meant that there was no chance for us to be together anymore, but I needed to tell her that my love for her had been real. That I would always be there for her. I needed her to know that.

Dad had gone to speak with Alpha Rivers about taking me back to Moon River now that I was strong enough to travel. Mum was off talking with the doctor. The door opened, and a well-dressed man entered, followed by a gorgeous woman. They introduced themselves and explained why they were here. Before I knew it, I was telling them everything. Once I had finished talking, they thanked me and left, just as mum came in. s**t!! Why had I told them that dad had sent me to seduce Amber in the city? Why had I told them in detail about what had happened with Kim? And why had I told them about my feelings for Amber? I hadn’t meant to tell them any of that. I also told them about Jason and his witch girlfriend. I didn’t feel bad about telling them that, though.

COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE.

This tale just got juicier with every person I spoke to. So we could add unlawful s****l practices to Jason Stones’ list of offences. Technically, I guess Chris Baxter should be charged with that, too. After all, he had just admitted to us that he’d had s*x with this Kim. Although he hadn’t known that she was a witch at the time, I may be able to let that slide. The boy had already been tortured now and had to deal with the heartache of losing the girl he loved. I honestly felt that he had been punished enough. “Would you like to question the witch before I force the truth from her?” I asked Ruby. She gave a smile that would make a lesser man swoon. “No that’s fine. Why waste our time listening to the lies that I’m sure she would try to feed us.” I nodded. “Well then, let’s get this over with shall we.” I offered her my arm, and she took it with a smile.

KIM.

I had found a way in. I had seen a car approaching this morning. It had stopped at the gate. While they were waiting for the guard to open the gate and allow them inside, I had crawled underneath and clung on for dear life. I would have just used magic to transport myself inside, but the whole pack was surrounded by some kind of warding. Once the car came to a stop inside, I had waited until whoever was inside to get out and walk into the pack house. I had only seen his fancy, black leather shoes.

KIM.

I had found a way in. I had seen a car approaching this morning. It had stopped at the gate. While they were waiting for the guard to open the gate and allow them inside, I had crawled underneath and clung on for dear life. I would have just used magic to transport myself inside, but the whole pack was surrounded by some kind of warding. Once the car came to a stop inside, I had waited until whoever was inside to get out and walk into the pack house. I had only seen his fancy, black leather shoes.

After I had crawled out from underneath the car, I hid in some nearby bushes while I came up with a plan. I tried my magic and found to my delight that it worked inside the pack grounds. I needed to figure out where exactly the prisoners would be held here. How to get Tanya out, and lastly, how to get out of the pack. I had to assume that the wards would stop us using magic to leave as well as enter. I wasn’t even close to being the witch that my sister is, but I knew enough to do a simple magic map spell. I closed my eyes and summoned the power that was inside me. I recited the spell, holding out my hands, and opened my eyes. I smiled when I saw the glowing orb of power in my hands flatten and become a map. I pricked my finger on a thorn in the bush. I squeezed a drop of b***d onto the map. It turned red for a moment and then returned to its original colour. Red footprints appeared on the map, showing me how to get to Tanya. B***d magic was the simplest way to find my sister. The map was showing me to my nearest b***d relative.

I followed the footprints. Hiding whenever possible to make sure that the coast was clear. The last thing that we needed was for me to be captured, too. There would be no one left to rescue us. It wasn’t long before I reached a big, grey, cold looking building. It was set away from the pack house, and it didn’t really fit in with its surroundings. I tried the door, but it was locked. I doubted magic would be any good here, but I gave it a go anyway. To my surprise, it worked. The lock opened, and I pushed the door. A damp, disgusting smell hit me almost instantly. Like rotting leaves and stagnant water. I scrunched up my nose and entered. I could hear water dripping in the distance and a faint whimper. I made my way quietly through the maze of cells until I found the one I was looking for.

Tanya was curled up on a small, hard bed at the back of the cell. There was a bucket in the corner. I almost threw up in my mouth when I realised what it was for. I whispered her name, trying to get her attention. She didn’t even move. I tried again. Still no response. She just lay there with her back to me, crying. I reached out and leaned on the cell bars and almost fell when they opened. What the f**k? It wasn’t even locked! Why was she still here then? She could have easily unlocked the outer door. I entered the cell and touched her shoulder, saying her name a little louder this time. She jumped, turning to face me. That’s when I saw the chains. She was wearing shackles covered in strange symbols. I knew that they were magical runes, but had no idea what they meant.
