The Wolf In Me Chapter 20 The Book Of Demon Destruction

Part 1 Library

Jake's POV



Frustration was kicking in, knowing that I still couldn't manage to move out of my bed. My eyes were
full of worry for my Alpha as he seemed unresponsive to every medication they tried on him. Mei, on
the other hand, was with child and all of this was not good for her.



"I trust the witches are doing their best. They helped us before. We owe them big time," I asserted,
looking down at the sheets.



I turned my gaze at Mei, that had her eyes all red out of all the crying. I never saw her like this and it
pained me, not knowing what I can do to comfort her. She was my best friend and Luna, and she
helped me find a place to live when I was alone and abandoned. Our eyes turned towards Luka as we
could have sworn we saw a sign of movement coming from him.



"Luka?!" She mumbled, "hey," she shook him for a second, hoping he was getting his senses back.



"I saw him too," I said, now hopeful that he moves again.





His fingers started to shift slightly and his head turned towards Mei.



"Luka. Hey, Luka, Lulu, wake up, please," she begged, holding a hand over his chest.



His eyes opened slowly but he looked confused.



"Ohh, thank the goddess. You were out for days. Luka."



She moved her hand over his forehead gently caressing him as tears rolled down her face. I heard him
grumble beneath his breath, trying to find his fruity voice back.



"Shh, that's ok. One step at a time." She whispered, trying to calm him down.



"My goddess. Oh, what a relief. Thank you," I said raising my head towards the ceiling.



Mei's pov





My husband to be seemed to be making some improvement, at least for now. He could not form a
word, let alone a whole conversation, but his eyes opened and I could see a glimpse of fear hovering
around him. I could also scent it. Anger was getting the best of me, but I was still in control for now. I
didn't want to shift in wolf form, knowing that I was already half term pregnant. I could hear my wolf
growl as it wanted to be released.



"No," I scolded Nala, pushing her back in with force.



Jake was also in a mess. His eyes gazing through the window, observing the birds flying away and into
the trees, feeding their babies.



"You should get some rest," I suggested in a soft tone.



His attention shifted on me.



"I can't seem to shake away the thought of....him in my head. It was the scariest thing I ever faced," he
said in a thick voice.



The Luna side of me brought the determination to give him a bit of comfort. I stood from my chair and
sat by his side for a while.





"You know, I think that we have been through tough patches throughout our life, not just with the
vampire problem, but before that. Do you remember how difficult it was to find comfort in life back
then? I mean, come on. We would have been better off dying than living with just scraps of food or
worse, with a rumbling belly and no shelter over your head. Don't you think?" I confided in the thought
of that.



Jake formed a smile as he looked at me.



"Yeah, but this concerns all of us. Not just a bunch of wolves lost, and without an alpha to lead the
pack. I mean, we technically are back to being without one, until he gets himself better."



I stiffened at that thought. The pack is getting weaker without their alpha guiding them. I should be
taking my place as Luna and give them hope, but my inability to get myself together was stopping me
from doing so.



"Hey, hey. I know what you are speculating. Just, get yourself together first. You are only trying to
adjust to the circumstance. They will only need you when you are ready," he said reaching for my
shoulder.





Nelly's POV



My eyes moved from one book to another as my fingers gently touched each one, reading the titles in a
low whisper.



"Herbal healing, beginner's spells, dark potions, love potion spells..." I sighed, rolling my eyes
backwords.



"Damn. This is going to take us a whole lifetime."



I lifted my arms like I was in prayer and closed my eyes as I chanted the revealing spell. I half expected
to see it glow amongst the other books, exposing itself, but nothing. I presumed it was not in the spot
where I stood, so I moved to the next, and the next row, repeating the spell.



Melody's POV



It was my first time in the witches' main library so I was still overwhelmed by its beauty. It smelled like
potions and spells as I sniffed the air intently, trying to get more familiar. My task was to find the book,
so my mind shifted into the assignment. My eyes squeezed as my face moved along the rows, reading
each title aloud.





"Shhhh," I heard as it echoed throughout the library.



"Sorry," I said back feeling silly.



Suddenly my eyes settled on the book that read demon destruction.



"Got it," I yelled, "I found it!"



I tried to pull it out of its place but it was stuck. Nelly has just managed to reach my side, observing the
scene in front of her as I was pulling and pulling against the book. Lylah walked past Nelly and stood to
my left.



"Stop, stop," she said pulling my hand away from it. "That is not the way to do it. Everything around us
witches is complicated. Watch and learn."



I moved back to give Lylah some space as she held her arms forward like she is fighting against some
force, whispering a spell. The book seems to be disavowing the spell and refusing to abandon its place.



Nelly moved in to help Lylah, positioning herself steadily as she chanted. The book was moving slowly
out of its shelf.



"Melody," Lylah screamed in between her chant.



I ran forward and reached out for the book. It took all my strength to finally manage to push it out, as
my body bounced against the shelves behind me, falling hard on the solid tiles.



"Ouch," I yelped as a heavy book fell on my head, feeling a bruise forming where it hit. We all looked at
each other and giggled, knowing that the difficult task was now over.



Our breathing became heavy as we fled from the building that was now shaking and rumbling beneath
our feet. It was like we have angered whatever lives within those walls. I turned around to see the large
tower getting smaller as we go further away from it.



"Come, it's almost time for the taxi to arrive," Lylah breathed.



Her light brown hair moved gently away from her face as we sped towards the city. The book was being
kept in a leather bag, hidden from sight. Nelly waved at the taxi guy that was patiently waiting for us at



the end of a quiet street.



"Get in, hurry," she said, hold her hand against my back.



We were tucked in the small car unable to move a muscle, but that adventurous part was over. I leaned
my head against the headrest, exhaling whilst trying to settle myself down.



"Well done ladies," Lylah said with a grin. "Now it's time for the second part."



I nodded and turned my head towards the window, taking in the beautiful scenery of the wilderness in
front of me.



"So, tell us. Which coven are you from?" Nelly asked as they both looked at me.



"The crescent sisters," I said shortly.



"Ahh, one of the strongest covens. You seem to be new at this," Lylah said grasping her fingers tightly
around the book.





"I only found my powers a few years ago. Before that, I was stripped of the gift from my parents.
They.....well...they didn't want me to take my mother's path, thinking that I should live a normal life in
the human world. There is a long story behind it, but that is why I don't know exactly how to use them."



I shifted my eyes onto my light orange dress that covered up to my angles.



"Hmm. An overprotective mother I see. How did you get it back? Your magic, I mean," Nelly asked
raising an eyebrow.



"Well...I....asked a good friend to reverse the spell," I lied, trying to be as convincing as possible.



The truth was hidden beneath my flesh and bones and was not willing to tell it. Not even to my mate. I
watched Nelly and Lylah exchange looks, then stopped their interrogation there.
