Chapter 56 - Information
**Hopes pov**
Fredrick widened his eyes and glared at me. The eyes were watery and bloodshot but the hateful look was clear.
“What has it been Fredrick? Eight hours? Nine?.. You are hurting badly and it won’t go away..for a long time. You know, Your Father..Ambrogio, he spent almost two hundred years like this..” I chuckled. It was fake, but I did it for effect.
“I can take it all away..I can make you feel better..if you want me to?”
I could see the conflict in his eyes. What he had endured was nothing to what his father had been through..but at the same time he was hurting so bad and just wanted it to stop. He closed his eyes in a silent Yes.
“Maya!” I called out into the corridor and Fredrick opened his eyes to the sound.
Maya came in and stood behind me, looking at the creature in front of us.
“Maya here is my best friend” I said to Fredrick and saw his eyes wander over the beautiful woman behind me.
“ She is human..pure human blood in her veins..not a hint of wolf, vampire or witch..I've done my research, so I know that pure human blood is the best medicine..for this ailment.” I continued as I watch him lick his lips, his pupils dilated before they got smaller and then back again. He was fighting with him self. Should he try to be as strong as his father who didn’t have a choice? Or should he take what was offered to him to feel better.
“What do you want?” He asked, the task of speaking seemed to be excruciating.
“ I want to know what you know about a white wolf named Magda” I say, looking for any kind of negative or guarded reaction..there was none.
“ Magda..you want me to pit wolf against wolf? No problem! I can tell you what you want to know about that crazy bitch, she’s probably crazier than you are anyway.” He said, his teeth chattering from the chill and his eyes still wandering over Maya.
I turned to my best friend, and looked her in the eyes. This was not her world..she was a human, a human who cared so much for her best friend so she let her self get tossed in to this madness between werewolves and vampires.
She gave me a silent nod before she round me and walked up to Fredrick. I heard the growl from Reece and Chase but I put my hand up, stopping them before they could intervene. Maya put her arm out, her wrist just before Fredricks mouth, and then she turned to me. Her eyes told me she would do anything to help me, no matter the cost.
Fredrick thrust his head forward and sank his fangs into Maya’s wrist. He sucked with a sound I heard before..the sound when Ambrogio sucked the blood from my mother..from Aayla’s mother. I shook my head, trying to get back in to the present and tore Maya away from Fredrick.
“Reece, take her and see to it that the wound is taken care of.” I say and release Maya into Reeces arms. I then turn back to the man in the chair..Fredrick. He looked better all ready. The shaking had stopped, his eyes were clearer.
“Now, that’s better isn’t it?” I said and pulled up a chair to sit beside him.
“ Here is what’s going to happen. You are going to tell me everything you know about Magda. How many rogues does she have? Who are her targets? Where does she operate from? And why is she involving her self with the likes of you?”
Fredrick smirked at me, no doubt feeling much better.
“ Sure, I can help you with that..I guess I owe you as much. He winked and kept the smirk on his face.
“ I guess so..and when we have done that, we will move on to Ambrogio, same questions, different main character. “ Now I was the one smirking.
Fredricks face fell a little, but he cleared his throat before he begun.
“ Magda came to us a few years back. She let herself be taken as a prisoner, even shared her blood willingly, and later even her body. Personally I don’t mix with..your kind, but some of us do. They get some kind of kick out of it I guess..for a whole year she was with us before she was free to leave. She promised to help us in the attacks against the packs if we turned a blind eye to the rogues..”
“ How many rogues does she have? “
“ None..a thousand..They are rogues! They don’t belong to anyone..its not like they are a rogue pack, that would go against the word itself wouldnt it? But I get what you mean. She usually collects about a hundred when we call on her for aid.”
“So Ambrogio is taking wolves for help to defeat us..” I shake my head at the thought.
“ Our father has been..gone for a long time, Theresa saw to that. He has nothing to do with the wolves.” A hint of nervousness glimmered in his eyes before he closed them and leaned his head back at the chair. When they opened, it was gone.
“ Since she doesn’t live with the vampires I assume you know were she is? “
“ Probably in her old childhood home, that was always her goal to take over her old pack..sadly, it wasn’t much left to take over after we were done” Fredrick chuckled.
I can see a bead of sweat forming at his temple, his hands gripping the chair tighter. This means that the effect of Maya’s blood starts to wear off and my own continues to do its job.
“ I will let you rest now Fredrick, I come back tomorrow.” I say and stand up, putting my chair away.
“Please bring that blond friend of yours when you do.” He chuckled again, I could hear the pain he was trying to hide in his voice.
That evening we had a nice quiet dinner in our room with Thomas and Anna. I talked with my mother earlier and she was spending time with Zandra, that gave me some kind of comfort, knowing Zandra wasn’t alone.
Maya and Reece were eating out and Cathy said she didn’t feel so good, returning to her room.
Anna was more relaxed in my present now, she even snuggled up and fell asleep in my lap after her bowl of Rocky road was empty. Thomas kept yawning so we took them to their room and tucked them in.
“This was a very long and exhausting day” I say as we come back into our room.
Callum is coming up behind me, rubbing my shoulders and kissing my hair.
“ Why don’t you take a warm shower and I put all this away” He says, nodding against the dishes from the dinner.
“ Sounds good to me “ I turn around and kiss him before I leave for the bathroom.
The hard beams of warm water is doing wonders to my muscles, I lean my forehead against the tiles and I feel my self almost drifting of.
Callums hands pulls me against his chest as he steps in to the shower behind me. I lean my head back and rest against his shoulder, enjoying the feeling of his hands, roaming my body. He grabs the shower cream but instead of putting it on a sponge or in his hands he pours it directly over my breasts, making me flinch from the cold feeling when it touch my skin. He washes me in slow motions while kissing my neck and nibbling my ear. I can feel him growing against me so I turn around and claim his lips.
He push me up against the wall, letting his lips and tongue roam my body, he left hot trails of kisses and lovebites on my breast’s, my belly, my hips. I fist his hair and push him down, hooking one of my legs over his shoulder and he is more than willing to obey. I can taste myself on his lips when he come back up to kiss me. Still holding my leg, he open me up in front of him and looking me deep in the eyes he push in. I revel in the sensation of having him inside of me, feeling my walls stretch by his size. We stand like that for a minute, kissing and stroking eachother’s bodies.
“Callum..”
“Mhm..”
“Please move..I can’t take it any more..”
It is all he needs. He take my other leg and lock them around his hips, carrying me out of the shower and straight to the bed.
“ Take me hard Callum..I need you to erase this awful day..please.” And he does, he start to pound in to me, slow and soft a few times before he increases both speed and strength in his thrusts sending me towards those familiar heights only he can take me to.
I don’t even remember falling a sleep, but I wake up to the sound of a big explosion, shaking the foundation of the house.
