The Wolf In Me Chapter 39: Part 2 A pack without an alpha

Mei's POV



Lylah filled me in with the details of what has happened that afternoon whilst I was out shopping around
the human world, trying to find clothes that could fit my fat pregnant belly. My stomach twisted at the
end of the explanation and my legs felt unstable beneath my heavy body.



"Where is he?" I urged myself to speak, though I barely felt that it was me talking.



"Come with me," Lylah said reaching for my arm to help me walk more stable.



My feet dragged through the hall, towards the hospital area and finally, my eyes rested on the lifeless
body of my beloved mate. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and my breathing was getting heavier.
This was not good.



"Luna," Jake called from the other bed.



My eyes shifted towards him and Melody as they were watching me for a while in silence. I felt Lylah
resting a hand over my shoulder and reached for one arm to help me sit down on the chair next to my



mate. Drowning in tears, I rested my hand over his forehead, removing a few strands of hair that rested
there.



"His vitals are still steady and strong. The doctors think that the demon drained all his energy at once.
So they gave him something to help him rest further. He will be fine, don't worry."



Jake asserted, nodding his head.



"What happened to you?" I asked finding my voice again.



Jake turned his head towards his bedsheets for a few seconds like he was thinking from where to start.



"I saw.....it," he mumbled, turning his gaze towards Melody, then us.



Lylah opened her eyes wide as worry flooded through her.



"You looked?" She asked him. "Did you look through the mirror?" She asked again, this time raising her
voice as her life depended on his answer.





Jake nodded and before he could speak, Lylah rushed outside for a good while and returned with the
mirror from her room which was covered with a cloth.



"The demon is trapped in this mirror, for now. If he manages to find it's way out, you are his next victim.
We must find a better way to rid him of this earth."



She turned her head toward Luka and her gaze finally rested on me.



"Does that mean that it's possible that...that Luka saw it too?" I asked weakly, now fearing that he is in
worse trouble than I originally thought.



Lylah turned towards Melody, then turned back to look at me.



"There is only one way to find out," she announced, placing the mirror down, resting it against the wall.



"Melody, I need your help," she said, holding an arm.





They both moved towards Luka as they connected with one hand and rested the other on the Alphas
forehead, closing their eyes and with their face looking upwards. They started to chant beneath their
breaths and as they did, the room was filled with a foggy mist that allowed everyone to see a glimpse of
Luka's recent past. The moment he turned towards the mirror, the demon showed itself to him as rage-
filled its body. The demon spoke to Luka telepathically with its toneless voice that gave shivers down
the spine as it sinks into your soul.



"Inigi imis. Id desia takun mas taken," it said piercing its eyes towards him.



As the fog in the room faded, so did our voices. Everyone fell silent for a good minute which to me, felt
more like an hour. Our eyes turning towards each other, as the stench of fear filled the room.



"What...what was that?" I exclaimed, clasping to my chair tightly.



"He said you are next. The world is mine, not yours," Melody said trembling.



"How are we going to rid us of these beasts? There has to be away!" Jake said with a brittle voice.



"We must do, what we should. Melody, I need you to come with me. We will find Nelly too. The more
witches, the better."





Lylah picked up the mirror, then raised her arms towards Melody as she moved to her direction and
wrapped it around her waist as they walked out of the hospital.



"This is not good at all. Thankfully the witches can help us" I clasped both hands around Luka's right
hand.



"Come back to us Alpha. The pack needs you," my head dropped down on his forehead, feeling his
warm breath brushing against my face.



I could hear Jake sighing as he tried to stand out of bed, but his legs couldn't yet work. He shrieked in
frustration as he positioned himself back against the headboard.



Lylah's POV



"This problem is way more serious then we anticipated. The weight of the world is in our hands and we
must find a way to exterminate the demons off the face of the earth," I said clasping a fist in mid-air,
feeling persuasive.





"We must be brave and defeat them. I say we visit the ancient library and find the book of demon
destruction," I proceeded.



"But that is one of the forbidden books. Some spells are so dangerous that they conjure more demons."
Nelly replied, placing the mirror in a safe spot.



"Do you have a better suggestion?" I asked in a grating manner.



The room was filled with a moment of silence, then I slightly smiled at them, trying to shake off the
tension between us.



"Well... Then. What are we waiting for?" I announced, moving my arms towards the door as a sign for
everyone to start the mission.



It was a long journey to our witches' territory so it took a couple of days of travelling until we found
ourselves looking at the large witches tower that was hidden from the eyes of the forbidden.



"Wow. It's huge!" Melody exclaimed moving slightly more forward.





"You have just turned of age, have you?" Nelly asked her smiling like she had a nostalgic moment of
her first time seeing it.



Melody nodded and looked eager to take her first step into the tower that stood above everything. The
cold air greeted us in its halls as the breeze hovered through the large open window at the end of the
building.



"It's all made of cobblestone. Must be super old," Melody said as she softly stroked the walls.



"Library to the left," I announced, moving forward.



The door to the library was made out of old wood, matching the large entrance door to the building. My
eyes looked down at the doorknob, giving myself a moment to breathe the freshness of the light air.
Trapped between feeling guilty for choosing to go against the rules and my responsibility to save
everyone, I cracked open the door.



A gust of wind rushed through my hair, blowing it away as fragments of some old magic could be felt in
the air. I winced at the heavy feeling that stroked each part of my body like the books knew I was up to
something.





"It feels cold in here," Melody pointed out in a whisper, yet her voice echoed throughout the room.



The library had a very high ceiling and was very wide. We examined the area in one spot of a while
before I spoke.



"So, we need to find the book of demon destruction."



My eyes looking at the tone of shelves that all looked the same.



"Lylah, I think we should try the easy way first," Nelly said rubbing her fingers against her forehead.



I turned to look at her. "let's hope it works because I think this book is going to give us a hard time to
find it, knowing that it likes to remain hidden."



We formed a circle reaching each other's arms, allowing some space in between us.



"custom samdi ester mano, dam a also curno laus, custom samdi ester mano, dam a also curno laus."





I opened my eyes to see if the book has presented itself, but no book showed up before us, just like I
have expected. We all exhaled and turned our eyes towards all the books that stood still on the
shelves. I curved my eyebrows knowing that we were defeated by some book, yet I was still
determined to find it.



"Melody, you take the left-wing, Nelly, right. I'm going to check the row ahead."



We all split up in a search for the book.
