Chapter 50
Damien pov
The last week has been busy with the arrival of all the packs and coordinating with all the alphas. But here we are outside the area waiting for all teams to be in place. Over the last hour, we have been watching the area and it seems they don’t feel they could be located and attacked. We have not seen anyone outside the barn-style building. If I didn’t hate these hunters so much I would be impressed with how smart they were with picking this as a hideout. Anyone walking by would think I was just some old run-down barn left from a long-forgotten farm.
We get the signal that we have been waiting for. We all start heading to the barn everyone on their toes watching each other's backs as we go. So far this has been a letdown on the fighting front but I’m not going to let my guard down. Drake is on high alert. I know from the way he is acting that our mate is close by but she can't feel us he says she's blocked from the bond. This tells meshes around a lot of silver. Knowing that silver is near puts me on edge. I can feel that Brendon is on the same page I am. Closing in on the barn I notice a hi-tech door lock shoots and ladders how are we getting through that. I feel a hand on my shoulder looking over I see alpha white. Holding his hand up to get me to wait a moment as his eyes glaze over. From the back of warriors, a small she-wolf comes forward-looking at the alpha he nods towards the door. Looking over she smirks and rubs her hands together.
She approaches the door eyeing the whole area making sure to not trip anything yet. Tilting her head side to side looking at the lock. Reaching into the pocket of her pants pulling out her phone? Okay, I'm so lost at what is going. I look over to alpha white is he laughing? What the actual hell is he laughing at me? He shakes his head and points to the door. Glaring at him but look back and all of a sudden we all hear the click of the door opening. Wide-eyed I looked back at the smirking alpha. Okay okay, he got me. He could have told me he had a hacker in his ranks but after meeting him he's gonna take any chance to get a laugh at any turn.
Silently heading in we stay in our teams of two. The outside may look like an old run-down barn but the inside was a state-of-the-art dorm building. It's an open concept decorated in grays black and white. It's an impressive building. Making our way through I'm noticing that there is no one around. Are we in the right spot? I wonder where everyone is. I'm about to lose my cool it looks like there is nothing here maybe they moved them. I link one of the warriors on the outside who has the map asking if the X moved he lets me know that has not. A young guy walks out of one of the rooms upstairs noticing us with a yelp and hits a button on his wrist causing a loud jarring alarm to go off.
This was not something we had planned for the noise is so loud we can't think it's hurting our ears. Looking at alpha white it seems he's already on it cause he's already moving to find the young she-wolf. It takes a few minutes but she gets the alarm to stop but it was enough time for the hunters to show up what I first thought was bad luck turned around to be a blessing. If the alarm had not gone off I don’t think we would have found the trap door in the floor it was hidden well.
They came through the door with guns I'm sure are loaded with silver bullets this could be ugly. It's too small of an area for us to fully shift so claws and fangs it is. They are firing at random not taking the time to aim. Alpha white yells keep moving don’t let them get a clear shot. With that, we all move out. Brendon going high I go low. The hunter in our sights doesn't know where to aim but too long to think about it as I take out his knees with my claws Brendon rips into his throat blood coating us like hot sticky rain. The smell of copper and iron filled the air feeding our blood lust. I see small would take a shot to the shoulder throwing him back yelping out in pain. He will be fine once the bullet is removed. We had a plan for this if hit with a silver bullet fall back to have it removed. Once healed enough you can return to the fight.
I notice the wolves are taking down the hunters up here fast so I head to the trap door slipping in the blood that is coating the floor. This made getting to the door harder than thought at first. Sliding into the wall I take out another hunter she didn’t see it coming. She had her back to me as I slam into her snapping her head. Letting her drop using her as a stepping stone to reach the door. Once through the door and down the stairs. There is a long hallway with barely light. Following the scent of the hunters farther down the hall. Stopping by each door sniffing looking for where they are keeping our wolves. Coming to the end of the hall to find another set of stairs. Oh for the love of pop rocks how far down does this place go. Heading down to the next floor and I hear more footsteps. There is one of me and who knows how many of them I need to find a hiding spot. Taking cover behind the only unlocked door I found.
Looking around I notice I am in the scurrility room oh my goddess this should be helpful. Locking the door to give me a warning if someone comes I get to the computers. looking at the screen trying to find where they are holding everyone. Then I see her chained to the wall looking so small and weak. She is in a cell with two others they both have their backs to me but I can tell they are not friendly. Just the body langue tells me my girl is in trouble. Running my finger over the screen just seeing her face again pushes me to get to her. Linking everyone with us from my pack “our packmates are on level 6 I'm heading that way now make your way. Be careful they have hunters on every floor. All doors have been unlocked pass it on to the other packs.” with that I cut the link and head out of the room. Smashing the tower to the computer. Coming out of the room I find that Brendon is making his way to me. Locking eyes I turn and head for the stairs down knowing he is right behind me. The closer we get to aria the more frantic our wolves are getting. We come to the last door just behind it we will find the wolves that have been taken along with our mate. Letting him know there are two people in the cell with her and she is chained to the wall. He's growling at my words.
One last look at each other we inch the door open sniffing trying to get an idea of what we are facing. All we can smell is blood rot decay dirt. The overwhelming smell of waste in the air is so strong we can't pinpoint even aria peaches and cream smell. Shrugging our shoulders we head in staying low sneaking into the room the guards left to watch over the prisoners have their backs to us. When a female yells “you let us out right now or ill kill this bitch and then you won't have anything left to use to get that stupid alpha talking. So if you want the oracle and the descendant you better let me out.” I know that voice that is Anderson's mate. So they are looking for aria and her grandmother but they don’t know who they are looking for. Standing behind the guards looking over his shoulder at Lexus Anderson waiting for her to see me when she does I smirk at her. As she opens her mouth I use my claws to rip out his throat spraying his blood out in front of me coating the bars and Lexus. “well well well what do you here?” I ask this has aria snapping her head to me.
