Part 1 Memory
Enchantress's POV
As my eyes were closed, taking myself back in Biorn's preserved memory, I focused on what I saw
written on the letter.
"The letter was written with a left hand which means we have something that can help us find who
wrote the letter since it was signed under anonymous."
"How do you know that?" Melody asked, taking a step forward, frowning in thought.
With a smile, I observed her for a moment, then decided to give her a good tip for the future.
"Since left-handed people move their hand over their fresh writing, they tend to smudge the whole
paper with the same ink they write with. This paper was all smudged. An eye for detail darling. An eye
for detail is the trick to many problem-solving issues. You can never tell when you can find it of good
use later on."
"Oh, wow. That is a good tip to know," Luka smirked through a wince.
"What was on the paper?" Luka asked impatiently.
I sighed, then closed my eyes again to imagine it all in my head exactly how I saw it in Biorn's memory.
"The letter said that science was offering him a high-rank post as long as he co-operates. He would
receive a good sum if he would accept helping them in the name of science."
I opened my eyes again now realising something important.
"This Biorn guy is not the head of all this. Someone else is behind the main purpose of this project.
Surely he works for this guy now, whoever he is and they plan on something big. Though, I wonder if I
can manage to get more out of the scientist's head," I said, moving beside the alpha. "With your
permission, I would like to have a word with the prisoner again."
Luka nodded but grabbed hold of my arm before I started to walk away, pulling me closer to him.
"This project has been on for years. I wish to know when it started, the name of the boss, what the
project is all about and their motive."
He eyed me until I nodded back in agreement, then he let go of my arm.
"Jake, Melchior," he said, motioning with his head for them to follow me.
It doesn't hurt to have two pairs of extra hands, just in case. We walked down the stairs, out of the main
door and into the dungeons where we have been just a few hours ago. Two guards had to be standing
just outside the doors but I couldn't see them from the angle I was at just yet. Still, my heart skipped a
beat as I got a hunch that something was wrong. Their bulky figures were nowhere in sight and that
only meant that they were either busy fighting inside the dungeons or they left the prisoner unattended
for some reason.
I moved my legs more quickly, urging to reach the dungeon, and to my horror, the guards were
bleeding and left dead in their spot.
"Damn it! Jason! Drake!" Jake shouted, crouching beside their bodies, hitting them lightly on their
faces. He checked their pulse but they were gone. With a fist, he punched his legs, gnashing his teeth.
Melchior brought out an arm in front of me, stopping me from moving forward as he kept his body
strong and steady.
"Stay here," he said, moving away his arms as he rushed into the dungeons checking the area.
Soon he came back up with his eyes wide open. "He is gone!"
Luka's POV
"I'll leave you two at peace for now. My sisters are calling me to get to them fast anyways. They said
they have a plan on how we can assist you in this mission," Melody said standing up from the chair at
the corner of the room.
I nodded and smiled, thanking her for their help as Mei and myself watched her exit from the hospital
door.
Mei moved beside me as soon as everyone was out and held my hands softly, sitting down on the chair
next to my bed. She smiled quietly, eyeing me for a moment.
"Our world can never let us live in peace, can it?" She whispered.
I chuckled knowing that she was right. For years our kind had battled between different species when
all we ever wanted was peace. Most of all a normal life. I lifted my eyebrows but said nothing for some
time.
"How's the pain?" She asked, observing the wound.
"Awesome," I chuckled, wincing at the stretching of the ribs against my wound.
"We will win this war, just as we managed to succeed in the other fights, I promise. I can feel my wolf
trying to heal my wound already, eager to get out of this bed to get into action. In a few days, I can be
myself again Mei."
Feeling the softness of her cheeks made me want to make love to her, despite my injury. Her eyes
were mesmerising as she glowed, looking back into my eyes.
Suddenly Jake came back rushing into the room looking troubled. His wide-eyed face and the waving
of his hands only suggested that something was really bad. My heart was already pounding at the
thought, imagining it all in my head.
"What's wrong Jake?" I said, raising my voice in alarm.
"He's gone!" He breathed, looking deep into my eyes.
"What do you mean gone?" I growled getting upset, feeling my eyes burn as I noticed them turn ice
blue from Jake's eye reflection.
"The outside guards are dead and so is the one inside. Melchior found the cell door open wide and the
prisoner is gone! Two more of our pack members were found dead a few meters away from the
dungeons!"
"We must find him! We can't let him get inside this building. The main gate has been closed early today
so no one could exit or come into our parts. If it is still closed and the guards are on guard, I can't
imagine that he managed to escape all on his own, yet it looks that way. So I think they must have
found another way to come in from," I said, standing up from the bed, feeling all the pain taking my
breath away.
"Luka I have to go check on our son. He is sleeping alone in our room and I can't risk having the
prisoner find him!"
I nodded as I watched her rushing out of the hospital room, closing the door behind. My instinct was to
look out of the window in the hopes of spotting Biorn from three floors up.
"What are your orders alpha? What is our next move?" Jake asked in a rapid high toned voice,
interrupting my intuitions.
My eyes turned to look at him, frowning in thought as I took a few steps towards him. Gathering a plan
in my head I sat down at the edge of the bed groaning in pain.
"I need you to gather our best fighters. Surely someone must have come in to help him kill the guards
and find the keys to open for him. If I was in his situation I would ask for just one guy to do such a
manoeuvre, preventing from getting too much attention from the enemy."
This was a mystery that needed to be solved fast before anyone else was injured or dead.
"I want everyone to search the area in wolf form, ready to attack. Make sure to get a least ten wolves to
cover the entrance, just in case."
I watched Jake rush out of the room, off to gather a large group of our best and strongest of wolves
whilst I moved back to the window, observing the area.
Suddenly I saw some movement coming from behind a large tree right below the window. An average
human would not have managed to see anything but with the help of my wolf vision, I could discern
clearly what was going on.
I got tense as soon as I saw a third figure of a child being held by one of the two guys that were waiting
to make their escape. It would only take a second for them to find an escape if one guard turns to look
the other way.
Without thinking I rushed out of the door ignoring my discomfort to find Mei at the corridor in tears,
screaming hysterically that our son was gone.
