Chapter 104

ANASTASIA MULBERRY

Unlike Harvey who kept leaving them in their room for prolonged periods of time, the doctor returned shortly after, not that either Thea or Anastasia wished to see her again. It was even worse that while she had left Harvey behind, she had brought a small group of other people; all wolves.

“Ladies, we have some good news for you.” Heena, the doctor announced with a large, bright smile on her face as she closed the door behind her, the three other wolves having already piled into the room behind her.

“You’re going to let us go?” Thea asked in a small, hopeful voice at the same time that Anastasia snorted aloud and rolled her eyes.

Heena merely pursed her lips and glanced down at the small stack of papers in her arms, the other three wolves all stood behind her with their arms crossed over their chests; completely silent which gave off the impression that they were simply here to observe.

Even though Anastasia wasn’t a werewolf herself, she had no doubt in her mind that all three of these men were werewolves. The three of them stood tall and proud, broad shoulders and muscled arms, all of them with a dark edge in their eyes.

There was also the fact that the one on the edge, standing closest to her had all but bared his teeth to her in a menacing fashion when he had caught her staring. Instead of looking away quickly, Anastasia made a point to sneer at him before turning her bored and distasteful gaze on the doctor who was still shuffling through the papers.

“Unfortunately, neither of you will be let go anytime soon but look on the positive side.” Heena smiled widely but before she could continue, the redhead was quick to jump in, not for one second doubting that there was no positive side.

“You say that as if there’s actually a positive side.” She made a point of rolling her eyes again, not the least bit impressed with or hopeful with all that they had to say next. “But please, do proceed with your good news.”

Heena sent Anastasia a sharp look but chose this moment to bite her tongue, especially when being watched over by the others. Instead of lashing out like she was very tempted to do, she pursed her lips and turned her gaze on the other prisoner; the calmer and weaker one of the two.

“Not that we’re all that surprised, but your bloodwork has come back perfectly fine!” Heena announced with a large grin, almost as if excited with the possibility of what all of this meant, but when a low, warning growl sounded from behind her, she gulped rushed to continue speaking. “We mixed your blood with that of a powerful werewolf and just as we had expected, it came back perfectly unlike the others which displayed many warning signs.”

“Which powerful werewolf? How powerful a werewolf are we talking about?” Anastasia questioned as her eyebrows knitted together in the middle; her mind perplexed. When Heena simply sent her a sharp look instead of responding, Anastasia continued forward with the questions. “And how did you get the blood of a powerful werewolf?”

“That is none of your concern, human!” The middle wolf spat at her with a sharp glare in his eyes, clearly not impressed with her excessive questioning.

However, Anastasia was far from concerned and even if she was, she had no plans of showing it. These people were the kind that fed off fear so the less emotion she showed right now, the more it would work in her favour later when they wouldn’t eb able to plan her next moves. It was just unfortunate that she couldn’t project those thoughts to Thea who had resorted to silently crying now, the tears only briefly stopping to blink up at their kidnappers.

In silent agreement with her superior, Heena continued to push forward, purposely brushing off Anastasia’s questions to the side without so much as a second though.

Anastasia frowned deeply as she watched them all closely; even more suspicious than she was before.

“One thing that we didn’t expect to see was that Thea’s blood turned out to be a better match than Anastasia’s.”

“Why didn’t you expect that?” Anastasia asked, a confuddled expression on her face as all these people seemed to do was talk in riddles.

“While you seemingly had a normal birth, Thea barely survived which makes sense since you’re mated to an Alpha.”

“And Thea?”

“To be completely honest, we’re not quite sure why or how that happened.” Heena shrugged with a nonchalant expression on her face which once again, made Anastasia silently question how this lady had managed to become a doctor.

“What does this all mean?” Thea asked in an exasperated voice, having been unable to keep up with all of this information as her mind was still muddled with the thoughts of her son.

“It means that you’re probably mated to an even stronger werewolf than her.” Heena simply shrugged in explanation before continuing forward, simply because they weren’t interested in the mates of these surrogate woman but rather, how quick they can get a wolf pup in their uterus’.

“Anyway, it’s a definite that the both of you can carry wolf pups to full term so fortunately for us but unfortunately for you, you won’t be leaving any time soon.” Heena sneered at the both of them, feeling absolutely no remorse or guilt for their actions and mistreatment of both these females.

“My mate’s going to come for me.” Anastasia lifted her chin in defiance as the promise passed her lips, fighting off the fear inside her that doubted Marcellus even knew she was missing.

“We highly doubt that.” Scoffed one of the wolves from behind.

“Why do you say that?”

“Let’s just say that while you’re here, we’ve got him busy with a few things. Anyway, by the time that he figures out something is even wrong, he won’t ever be able to find you.”

“Yes, he will.” She insisted, needing herself to believe it otherwise she would run out of hope. And hope was a dangerous thing to lose.

“Even if he does, we’re going to be long gone by then.”

“Long gone?” Thea questioned with wide, wet eyes. “What do you mean? Where are you taking us?”

“Just leave it up to us. It’s nothing for either of you to concern yourselves with.” He dismissed with a roll of his eyes and seemingly finished with this conversation, him and his fellow wolves turned their backs on them.

When the door opened and the three werewolves piled out of the room without so much as a glance back at them, Anastasia was surprise that it then closed, leaving them alone in the room with the doctor.

“You’re not leaving?”

“Unfortunately, not.” Heena scoffed and rolled her eyes, unmoving from her spot near the door, almost as if she either feared or was disgusting by both the females. Probably both.

Despite Anastasia and Thea’s best attempts at getting the doctor to talk to them and answer their questions, Heena remained unaffected and completely impassive as she busied herself with reading over the papers despite having done so already twice before.

It was only when a knock sounded on the door that the woman moved, but once to slide it open and exchange the stack of papers for two pot noodles.

“What are you doing with those?”

Heena rolled her eyes as she walked over to Anastasia’s side of the room.
