Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 98

STAR.

I felt one with Amber fully. This is how it’s meant to be. I knew what we needed to do now. We needed to talk with Becky. We couldn’t do that in her condition. Waking her could cause a setback in her healing. Maybe I could reach her wolf, though. I walked over and sat beside her on the bed. I knew that Amber had seen Becky’s wolf before, so I told her to concentrate on her. I could see the image that Amber was pulling into our mind, a big, brown, and white wolf with beautiful green eyes. Wow Becky’s wolf was stunning. Her fur was so thick and luxurious, just like the hair of the human counterpart. I giggled.

We reached out to her. She was weak but conscious. I padded over to her and lay down in front of her. You see being a silver wolf, unlike when other wolves make contact telepathically. When I do it, the link becomes physical. I can even touch them in my mind. I placed my forehead on hers and pushed my energy out until it covered her in my silver light. Once I was done, I pulled it back and removed my head, but I remained lying there with her. She looked a little stronger already.

“How did you do that?” she asked. I just giggled “It’s a silver wolf thing. Now, we need to know if you or Becky knows anything. Who did this to you?” She bowed her head and looked ashamed. “We should have realised sooner, we knew all along, but just couldn’t put it together.” She said sadly, shaking her head. Her big emerald eyes glistened with tears. “What do you mean? Did Becky figure out what had been bothering her?” I asked. She nodded “Becky read about the silver wolf when she started suspecting that Amber was one. She found out about Joseph Michaels and his history. He was the Alpha of the crescent moon pack. He lost his mate in a war with vampires. He decided to leave crescent moon in the hands of his brother. He couldn’t stand being there without Lilly, with the thoughts of the future and family that they never got to have.” She told me. I shook my head, I didn’t understand “That’s terrible. I feel for him, but how does that help? And why would that be bothering Becky? We knew that he was from Crescent Moon because that’s where Delilah was born.” I said, confused. She sighed, sounding a little tired and a little exasperated “If Joseph and Lilly didn’t get the chance to start a family, then how can Delilah be his great, great, great, great granddaughter? At most, she could be his great, great, great, great niece. So why is he lying?” She couldn’t be sure who kidnapped Becky as the wolfs bane had left her mind a little foggy. I thanked her and told her to rest. I needed to share this information with everyone else.

AMBER.

I had heard everything that had been said, so after unlinking ourselves from Becky’s wolf, I filled in the others. Ruby closed her eyes and sighed deeply. She told us that everything that was happening was the courts fault. When Council member White had called Joseph from Night Forest and informed him that Amber was a silver wolf, he had been at a meeting with the court. They had gotten excited upon hearing this information. You see, a silver wolf is immortal, but their abilities can begin to fade over the centuries. The power is designed to be passed down to a worthy family member. When a silver wolf transfers their abilities to their chosen descendent, they become mortal and are able to age normally and die. This is why it is said that silver wolfs children are meant for great things. Joseph had no children to pass the power to, so it has started to fade slowly. He had been having Ruby boost them using magic for a while now. That’s how she had known how to help Amber. Ruby had told Caleb about it. So when they’d heard that there was another silver wolf, Vincent had suggested that maybe in time, Joseph should step down and let Amber take his place in both the council and the court. After all, she had a mate, so no doubt would have children to pass the power to. Joseph had told them that he had discovered a great, great, great, great, great grandson whom he was planning on passing his own power to in time. He had told them that after losing Lilly, in a state of drunken grief, he had sept with his brothers mate, getting her pregnant. This had settled the matter for the time being. However, it had been raised again today right after the trial. Vincent had poked at Joseph. They had never got on.

Ruby was telling us all of this when a knock at the door made us jump. I stood up to answer it and tried not to react when I saw Joseph standing there. He looked at us all gathered inside and looked genuinely concerned when his eyes landed on Becky. “Oh Goddess, what has happened?” He asked. I told him that we had found Becky unconscious, and William had fetched Ruby to try and help. This was true, so it was easy to sound convincing. He nodded. “Do you know what happened to her?” He asked. Ruby spoke up, her voice a little shaky. “Wolf’s bane. I’ve done all I can. It’s up to her wolf now.” She said. He nodded, and I’m sure I saw a flicker of a smile cross his face. I wanted to punch him in his chiselled jaw. If it was true, if he’d done this to Becky, then I would make him pay. “Ruby, I wondered if I might have a word alone.” He turned to her and asked. I saw the fear flash in her eyes. “We need her to stay with us in case Becky deteriorates. Please.” I said quickly. He clenched his jaw and huffed a little. “Very well. later, though.” He said to Ruby. He gave the rest of us a nod and left. Ruby thanked me. I couldn’t help but worry though, had he heard us? Also, being a silver wolf and having the same abilities as me, he may have already seen Ruby tell us everything. I couldn’t help feeling that she was in real danger.
