Chapter Thirty-seven

Jack:

“Max?” Desmond spoke as he approached Max.

Max looked like Mei the day I first saw her. No emotion, just pure killer instinct. Max’s veins bulged from his arms, along his neck into his forehead as he shook violently.

“Everyone step back.” Samuel shouted as he walked up to Max, capturing his gaze.

“He’s part Bear.” Samuel stated shocked as he looked over his shoulder at me.

“Yeah, but he always was wolf dominant.” I replied as I watched Max’s body grow like when our Lycan’s shift.

“Jack shift to Lycan, Lexi you do the same. This is might turn violent.” Samuel shouted as we did as he told us to do, watching as Samuel dropped to the ground.

His body expanding, loud cracking, roaring erupted as his massive Grizzly Bear took shape in front of Brutus and Argo. Izzy and Desmond placed a ward barrier around us, so no outside source could interfere.

Max released a powerful roar as his body expanded, shredding his cloths from his body as his body cracked, shifting with loud pops as thick black fur sprouted from his body. Four massive clawed paws appeared as he stood up slowly, snarling as his snout elongated into a broad head. A deep guttural roar ripped through the forest as bird’s screeched in fear, and the sounds of fast heart beats of the smaller animals hiding in fear.

A loud thud vibrated against the ground as Max dropped to his limbs, snarling grunting deeply as Samuel spoke to him in Bear.

“Max?” I linked seeing if he could hear me.

“Jack, this is weird, but awesome.” Max laughed darkly as he took a few steps, slashing at a tree, watching as chunks of timber flung violently through the air.

“Max focus on shifting back. Now we know extreme anger triggers your Bear.” I laughed darkly as he grunted, snarling as his body slowly shifted back to the tattooed, pierced man we knew.

“Fucking Hell! Is it always that brutal?” Max asked looking at Samuel with a shocked expression.

“You said your last name is Silvermoon?” Samuel asked with a perked brow.

“I just used my clan name, because I was part of Raven’s glorious experiments.” Max laughed darkly as I patted him on the shoulder.

“Well, shit! Now it explains a lot.” Samuel laughed darkly as he paced around looking into the forest.

“Explains what?” Desmond asked curiously, seeing he is the knowledge and brains of every fucking clan. Heavy eye roll.

“We Bears all identify by our coloring and genetics, but every third generation a genetic mutation happens. The Black Bear, or in Bear language “The Black Death” is granted to the one true “Alpha” male Bear.” Samuel’s smile growing larger by the second as he placed his fists to his large hips.

“Riddles again?” Brutus huffed annoyed with Goki rolling his eyes.

“Stop it.” I replied wanting to understand Bear genetics.

“Are you completely mated to Mei?” Samuel asked as he looked at Max’s mate mark.

“Just my wolf side, the Bear is all new to me.” Max huffed as he placed his hand over his eyes as he dropped his head back breathing deeply.

“This still might work. Bears mark by biting the right wrist during climax.” Samuel stated as he showed his mate mark on his right wrist.

“You mated as Wolf, because that was your dominant, but now that your Bear has awoken, it creates a beacon of sorts with your mate.” Samuel started getting all giddy in his large muscular frame.

“Samuel do you know exactly what Mei is?” Max asked giving me that look of “Oh Fucking Shit!”.

“Yeah, she’s Lycan.” Samuel laughed as he looked between all of us.

“How about the part that she is the “Spirit Wolf”? I asked curious to see how he reacted, sure enough instant Heart attack.

Of course, complete shock, and something else.

“You are mated to the Spirit Wolf?” Samuel asked trying to catch his breath.

“Yeah, and Akai is my son.” Max replied with a proud smile as we shared winks.

Samuel got this weird look on his face as he started pacing wildly, looking between all of us.

“I think he just shit himself.” Brutus laughed darkly as Goki howled.

“The Black Death is our version of the “Grim Reaper”, or “Spirit Wolf”.” Samuel stuttered as he leaned against the tree, rubbing his face with his large goliath hands.

“Well, I guess we handle this like any other day. Fucking go with it!” I laughed with Max as Samuel stood in complete awe.

“You know once you mate completely with Mei, there is no other mate, she is the one.” Samuel spoke with a fatherly tone as he looked between us.

“I was lucky enough to find Seth, my first mate, and even more lucky to know that the mother of my pup, is my one true mate.” Max spoke as we both patted each other proudly on the shoulder.

“Right! Let us round up the troops and figure out where they have her hidden.” Desmond shouted as he clapped his hands together as Izzy smiled as she “poofed” away.

“Where is she going?” Samuel asked shocked between us.

“To get her troops, the pups.” Me and Max laughed darkly as Samuel had this bright fatherly glow to him as we walked into complete chaos.

The Watchmen had the pups packed and ready to travel, while Suzie and Zoey gave them their final “Goodbye” tickles.

“Keep me filled in on the situation.” Samuel firmly patted our shoulders as Desmond “poofed” us right outside of my office chambers, and loud giggly laughter echoed as Izzy “poofed” the Watchmen and pups, into the large nursery down the hallway.

Pushing open the doors, finding Eli, Lexi, Xander, and the Twins rushing around the large office. Stopping for a moment, before going right back to work finding Mei again.

“So, what do you we know so far?” I shouted sternly grabbing a whiskey as Xander pointed out several locations on maps.

“Jack they can be anywhere.” Eli shouted as he rubbed his hands over his face, exhaling deeply.

Max was pacing wildly staring at the Maps as Lexi caught sight of his movements, side glancing me. I nodded to him as he walked over to Max, placing his hand on his shoulder.

“Someone call Hilo. He might have an idea where to start.” Eli shouted as Desmond pulled his phone out, quickly dialing.

While Lexi and Max, went to work on searching the network for anything about the Star family.

“FUCK!!” I shouted tugging at my dark locks, breathing deeply as I stared at the ceiling.

“Jack!!” A female’s voice shouted as we all jumped around in shock, standing firmly in place.

“Damn it! Ella you almost had a rude welcoming.” Eli laughed darkly as Ella walked over, slapping him across the head.

“What are you doing here Ella?’ Max asked darkly as he looked over to me with a perked brow.

“How would you “Boys” like to have a heart-to-heart with someone?” Ella laughed coldly as she crossed her arms over her petite chest.

We all shot questioning glances around the room as Ella’s evil smirk, grew into a sinister smile.

“Vance.” Brutus growled with Goki.

“Aww, do we get to play?” Goki laughed darkly.

Looking at Ella nod to my own question.

“You are Royals, and Vance is being held under Supernatural Law.” Ella smiled as she walked over to the stone wall, opening the all too familiar blue glowing portal.

Max shot up from his seat, following closely behind as we stepped through the portal. Stepping into a dark hallway, lined with heavy iron enchanted cells, smelling musty water mixed with disinfectant. Ella led us down the long hallway, stopping in front of a dimly lit cell.

“You have company.” Ella hissed as she kicked the iron gated door with a force that shook its hinges.

“I have nothing to say.” A snarky voice spoke from the shadows.

“OPEN CELL 3D!!” Ella shouted as the loud buzzing of the electronic locking system, unlocked the heavy deadbolt latch with a heavy clicking clunk.

“Get up!!” I commanded as Max stood quietly behind me, breathing heavily.

People tend to forget that Max and Mei were trained fighters, no emotions when it came to facing an opponent. I think our friend Vance, needs a tuff lesson in remembering who he messed with.

“You either move on your own, or we move you our way. Pick?” Max growled deeply causing the hair to stand on end as Ella shot me a look of shock.

Vance slowly shifted in the shadows of the cell as he stepped forward with his head held down.

“Good little Fairy.” Brutus laughed darkly as I watched Vance shuffle his feet cladded with heavy chains.

“Now, pick?” I growled next to his ear as he jumped back a step.
