Chapter 38
Aria pov
I have no idea how long I have been here. The one good thing is that they don’t seem to want to sexually abuse me or any of the other wolves I smell here. They take joy in beating us and demanding answers that most don’t have the answers to. The answers they want are who is the oracle and who is the dependent they only knew that the oracle was an older she-wolf and the dependent was a young wolf. They thought I was the descendent, well I am but Lexus told them there is no way I was I was a rouge when I was brought into the pack and only brought in because the alpha at the time wanted to mate my mother.
Lexus isn't the smartest tool in the shed. And with Samuel dead, she never found out that I was the dependent. What they do know is the oracle is kin to the dependent. These hunters are working with rouges trying to find the dependent and the oracle so they can take over the packs and kill off all wolves. They had a witch that hide this place from sight and sound. Though they seem to be strong with their magic they are also very weak. The hiding of this compound from sight and sound is earth magic from what I have overheard. The love potions they have are mostly earth magic and only work for a short time. They are getting impatient for the wolf they have in the shadow pack to make the alpha her mate with the potion. My heart broke when I overheard one say that, but also smile when the other guard say “are they all sure he hasn’t mated already and that is why she keeps asking for stronger potions?” Looking over to grams she nods letting me know what I think is true because Damien, Brendon, and myself are fully mated her potions won't work on him. But then I wonder if he knows about what she is doing or who she is and this makes me see red.
Lexus struts in wiggling her barely-there hips in hopes to attract one of the guards. “what do you want mutt?” the older one asks sneering at her. She seems to be getting the younger one to warm to her as she winks at him. “oh I just need to blow off some steam and what better way than to take it out on that worthless bitch?” pointing at me. They look at each other laugh and open the door to my cell she comes in and starts punching me in the stomach. “oh boys did you hear they found a blood witch.” she says right before kicking my legs out from under me. “so” they say. “so. So. Do you know what that means?” she asks slapping me in the face. They shake here heads and wait for her. She looks me in the eye with an evil smile on her face “it means that she can overpower a mate bond. Even if the alpha is fully mated the love potion will make him fall in love with Tara.” she laughs slapping me once more and walks out. “good then this will be done soon she will get the answers to who the oracle is and who the dependent is.”
Wait Tara I know that name. I look to grams she mouths melody’s friend and it's like a lightning strike. But wait from what I heard she knows that Damien is mated and who his mate is and who the oracle is. She would have known that the love potions wouldn't work what is her plan? With my head hung low running all this through my mind it hits me she doesn't plan to help the hunters she wants to be with my mate. She wants to rid Damien of me but what about Brendon? Brendon wouldn't let her have our mate so what would or is she going to do to Brendon or does she want both of my mates? If she told them that lady Olivia is the oracle and my grandmother. The whole pack knows these things. They didn’t know that am the dependent. Blood witch sounds like a lot stronger of a witch and not in a good way. I pray to the moon goddess that my mates would be safe.
Looking down at me “I don’t know what my Samuel ever say in you. You are a pathetic excuse of a wolf. Do you even have a wolf?” she asks looking at me and tapping her finger against her lip. “doesn't matter now does it soon you will be dead at my hands for what you did.” I just listen to her ramble on about how I ruined everything for her. “so tara will have that pathetic alpha under her spell and thumb and we will have all the answers we need. The only reason you are still alive is that the head of the hunters wants you alive. Do you want to know why?” she sneers at me. I say nothing I have been wondering myself why I am being kept alive since she wants me dead. With a ticking snicker, she whispers in my ear “he's gonna have the witch kill your wolf if you have one and make you bare him, children. And with no wolf, you will be human and have no choice but to bear his offspring. No wolf to block out conception.” stepping back laughing as my stomach turns from what she said. I look to grams with fear in but all I can see in her eyes is hope and patience. I have no idea why she is so calm they want to use her and me for their gain. Grams looks calm and like she could be careless. “so my dear if their bond was blessed by the goddess for you and that alpha where are your pups?” grams sings out. Lexus spins on her anger spilling out of her as she stalks to grams. Her hand shifted to a claw. Just as she raises it one of the guards grabs her hand and glares at her “don’t make me do it mutt. Remember you place you are here to help not touch them. You were granted the ability to hit the young one until the witch gets here and makes her suitable for the general but this one is hands-off until she tells the general who the oracle is and where to find it.” he sneers shoving her out of the cell. Looking at grams I see her give me a small smirk telling me that was her plan.
