Chapter 104
“Ambrose” is all Hades said before the room went black. The sensation of air being sucked out of my lungs lulled me into its dark embrace.
Blinking fast trying to clear my vision. Soon blurry images start to form. Looking around trying hard to focus.
“Father I have looked over the number several times and we are broke. The only hope we have is if you convince the black rose to sell to us at an extreme discount for now.” A nasally familiar voice whines. “You and I both know the answer to that we need a new strategy.”
“I can help” a haunting voice whispers. “who’s there?” “your future. Now if you want my help to send someone to the storage room under the dungeons.”
The two men look at each other a long time before they shrugged and went in search of the source.
Walking through the door. “and your sure this new potion will strip them of the magic? Where does it go?” “it will go into a vial ready for you to use to control the packs and well any wolf that enters the grounds all you have to do is drink this and follow my every word.” A body-less voice fills the room. Looking around trying to find the source of the voice but I can’t.
The feeling of being dropped from a high place soon has my stomach ready to leave me. A young girl is running around happy and free. She shines like the sun her golden eyes alight with wonder and joy. “ Aphrodite sweetheart it’s time for your treatment.” A big golden eyes man says looking down at the girl. “coming papa. Will it hurt?” “no sweetie it won’t. You will be asleep the whole time.” He smiles at her as she runs to him.
The world shifts again the same girl only older is now standing at a fireplace talking. “tell me how to twist the lust elixir. I am tired of being told no just because of who my father is. Shouldn’t they just fall at their feet for me? I am the embodiment of love and lust after?” she sneers. Looking around the room it’s empty. The same body-less voice fills the room. “call the night coven back to the castle dear. You will need their help. Why your father does not invite them to live here is beyond me. But he must have his reasons.” She nods and then leaves the room. Horrible creepy laughter fills the room as blackness takes over.
Gasping for a clean breath what I see settles in. My family robbed so many of so much. How can I make it right?
Looking around I find my dad and Johnny both asleep in piles on the cold tile floor of the cafe. Sitting up I look around confused. Why am I here? Where are we? The cafe is oddly quiet almost as if we are the only ones here. When they start to stir I ask them what they remember both come back blank as well. Maybe Sally knows what happened.
Gathering ourselves we head to the truck and make our way home. The drive was quiet all three of us confused. When we get in the linking range I try and link Sally, but I’m blocked. Odd. There should be no reason for her to block me right now. So I try linking a few others and again I’m blocked.
Picking up speed as worry sets in he flies down the road 0raying not to be stopped on our way. Reaching our border no one is there. What the hell? I’m starting to become both pissed and worried. Where are the guards?
Driving up to the castle's front entrance I have not seen a soul. I have a bad feeling. “we need to stick together.” My dad orders. “no you two search well everywhere. I’m gonna head to the office that’s where Sally should be. Link with updates.” I order as Johnny stops the truck. We all hop out and head our own ways.
The castle is deadly silent not even the sounds of mice scurrying behind walls are silent. Making it to my office the door is wide open. Walking in I see a tall dark figure standing with his back to me at the window behind my desk. “can I help you?” “Not anymore dear cousin you have already helped me. But I did bring you a gift. Come spot.” He snaps his fingers. The scent of cranberries fills the room making my knees weak.
A blonde blue eyes human walks in behind me heading to Hades. He has ab odd mask on his face and his blood shot eyes stare blankly ahead. I know without a dought he’s my mate. Did Hades call him a spot?
“Athena this is my pet spot. Spot this is my cousin Athena.” “mine” I growl at him. He only chuckles as he turned to face me. Laying a hand on my mate's shoulder. “here is my offer cousin you step down as alpha of alphas handing the title to me since it should be mine. And I’ll not take his muzzle off. But if you don’t you will find out what it’s like to be ravaged and killed by spot. He can’t smell you with his muzzle on. Would you like to see what happened without his muzzle?” he doesn’t let me answer when he turns my computer monitor to face me. Pulled up is an image of my mate standing in a white room with just shorts on. Clicking a key on the keyboard the video plays.
My mate starts pacing the room clearly in an angry state. A fog soon fills the room and his anger spikes. “that fog is a synthetic scent of you.” He smirks. Looking over I see my mate staring at me with such hate I can’t breathe. Hades clears his throat.
“watch”
Looking back my mate begins pacing the room hitting the wall so hard his hands bleed. But when the door opened and a young girl who looked like me is shoved in my heart stops at the look he gives her. It’s the same hate he’s been staring at me with since he walked in.
“why?” I cry
