Uknown POV
After Allison went missing, Apollo threatened to break out in front of all of these humans. He wanted to rip this entire place to shreds, humans included.
It was incredibly hard to keep him controlled, he needed his mate. I needed her.
Chad, we need to get out of here before I lose control of Apollo. NOW! I shouted down the link.
Seeing his eyes glaze over, he must be mindlinking the rest of the crew.
Apollo was clawing at my mind, roaring, causing havoc, trying to make me feel the pain of our mate slipping through our fingers.
He was trying to hurt me enough so that he could take over. I couldn't take that risk in the state he was in now, he would turn this place into a bloodbath trying to find our mate.
Chad we need to do something, he's going to take over! I shouted down the link, grabbing my head with my hands as it started to throb.
LET ME OUT! Apollo roared in my mind. I could feel my eyes starting to flicker from my usual hazel to Apollos' black eyes.
Alpha, I have wolfsbane, lean on me like your stumbling drunk. Chad said through the mind link as he slung one of my arms over his shoulder, he put one arm behind me in the middle of my back as if to support me, and then I felt the tiny prick of the needle as he injected me with wolfsbane to sedate Apollo.
The wolfsbane worked almost instantly as I felt Apollo start to calm down and curl up to sleep in the back of my mind.
Chad and I stumbled out of the house putting on the show that II just had too much to drink.
In reality, human alcohol could never get a werewolf drunk. We have an extremely high tolerance for it.
We have to make our own liquor that has a high enough alcohol percentage. One glass of it would kill a human.
We met the four warriors, Greg and Rory, at the Suburban. Everyone piled in and the ride back to the motel was silent. You could cut the tension with a knife as everyone was lost in their own thoughts of what to do next. I could tell that they were too afraid to be the first one to talk, afraid that it might set me off. I couldn't take the silence any longer.
"We need a witch," I stated.
It was Chad who spoke up next,"Alpha, we can't trust the witches. They always have their own agenda, they don't do anything unless it benefits them in some way. Besides, no werewolf has come in contact with a witch in centuries. We have never gotten along with their kind, they are evil and conniving. They have been in hiding for decades because most wolves kill them almost immediately."
"We have no other choice, the only way the three of them would have disappeared into thin air like that, is if one of her kidnapers was a witch or warlock. We need a witch to find a witch." I personally didn't trust witches either, it's in our blood not to trust them, but what choice did I have? I would do anything to find Allison, take any risk.
Realizing that I wasn't backing down from this, Chad nodded, " I can get Gamma Leroy to look through the late Alpha and Luna's files. Maybe there's something in there on how to find a witch."
I bobbed my head in approval, and with that Chad pulled out his phone and contacted Gamma Leroy.
Gamma Leroy was another one of mine and Chad's childhood best friends. We all grew up together, Allison included. As Gamma, it was Leroy's job to protect the Luna. But since there has been no Luna for the past 3 years, he has spent half his time being on border patrol, always trying to catch a scent of his missing Luna, he spends the other half of his time in the pack library. He was a bit of a book nerd, making him the perfect person for this job. If anyone could find old information quickly, it was him.
We pulled up to the motel and piled out of the vehicle. We opted to get a larger room, seeing as we were extending our stay.
We were given the key to what was supposed to be a bigger room, but instead it was two king-sized beds, and one sofa bed cramped into the same size as the one Greg and Rory had.
Feeling the exhaustion of the day, I knew I needed some rest if I wanted a clear head to find Allison.
"We take shifts, two awake and the rest sleeping, we still don't know who took her and what kind of threat they pose." I stated as I got into one of the beds.
I tried to let sleep take me, but I couldn't stop tossing and turning well into the hours of the early morning.
I gave up on sleep and let my warriors know I was going for a run.
I started walking across the parking lot to the forest that was just beyond it. Once at the treeline, I double checked that no humans were around and stripped my clothes, leaving them hidden under some leaves at the base of one of the trees. I started to shift into Apollo, I felt every painful moment of it, given we hadn't shifted in years. I felt every bone snap and take a new form, I felt my skin tearing apart as it turned into fur, I felt my face break and take the form of a snout, and the large teeth of a wolf push my human form out. I felt claws ripping out of my fingers and toes as they transformed into paws. Once in wolf form, Apollo took off. Feeling free for the first time in years, I was nervous to let him out at first, given how worked up he was earlier, but upon seeing him run through the forest to blow off steam, I understood this was exactly what we both needed. Stopping dead in his tracks, Apollo sniffed the air, curious as to what brought him to a halt. I sniffed too. Then it hit me, lavender and fresh roses.
MATE HERE! Apollo shouted in my mind. He started racing through the forest following the scent. We came to a clearing that had a small stream leading into a pond.
There stood a tall-angelic-like woman., she had long white hair all the way down her back, it looked like it was glowing with power. Her back was facing us, but her aura was that of a goddess. She was floating, I noticed, as I saw her feet hovering graciously off of the ground. She wore a long white-hooded cloak, with a gold floral pattern embroidered along the hem, the cloak ended just before her bare feet. Everything about her screamed Goddess.
"Come here, my child," she said in the most pure voice.
Apollo immediately obeyed and came up to her side, nudging her hand for affection. She then turned to face us and bent down to make us eye-level. She took Apollos' head in both of her hands and held him there for a moment. Her white eyes boring into mine. I felt peace wash over us.
"I'm sorry, I used the smell of your mate to lure you here. Relinquish control back to your human Apollo, I need to speak with him."
Obeying Apollo shifted, unlike earlier, I felt no pain.
Noticing that I was as naked as the day I was born, I quickly covered my manhood with my hands.
The woman laughed and flicked her wrist at me. I was immediately clothed in a snug white v-neck shirt, and white sweats to match. My feet were bare.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
"I think you already know the answer to that, my child, I am Selene, the Moon Goddess. I do not have a lot of time, so I will get straight to the point.", I listened eagerly as she continued, " Allison is in grave danger, you need to get to her as soon as possible, and rescue her. I'm afraid I cannot give you all of the details because it would go against the rules of the gods. I am gifting you with the ability to heal. I have gifted you with peace to rid you of all of your pain. I am gifting you with strength. You will require all of this to rescue her. This all comes with a price. There is a prophecy that Allison will need to fulfill. Trust your instincts, trust Apollo. I must go now child, our time is up. You need to wake up now." She said as she reached out to touch my forehead, there was a bright light and then it went dark.
I woke up with a jump, my breathing ragged. Taking in my surroundings, I realized I was back in our hotel room. My warriors were staring at me, my jump must have alerted them.
"It was just a dream?" I whispered to myself.
