Chapter : TBD

Damien”


Whispers broke out everywhere.

“He can’t talk to us like that.”

“ A war, Jupiter, the moon goddess, who does he take us for?”

“Why hide the identity of his mate?”

“Who is this mysterious she-wolf?”


I felt my blood boiling at their insinuations. Leo wanted to kill every last one of them and make a new council, but that is not our way. If we destroy them all now, then the rest of the pack will no longer trust us. There will be a coupe and I will be taken down as Alpha.

Underneath my blood boiling anger, I could also feel anxiety. It was weird. I’ve never been an anxious person, but I could feel my heart racing and it felt hard to breathe, almost like someone was sitting on top of my chest, while reaching in and squeezing my lungs. The anxiety quickly passed and turned into fear. I felt goosebumps pop up all over my arms and sweat build up on my nose. And then I felt nothing. Worry hit me instantly, I knew before Alex mind linked me that something had happened.

‘Alpha, the Luna has been taken, the library has been ransacked. Papers and books are scattered everywhere.’

I tried to mind link Guinevere. There was no response. For the first time since mating Gwynn I felt empty.

‘We need to find her now! I can’t feel her. Summon our best tracker, get him to the library now.’

‘Yes Alpha, and Alpha, don’t worry, we will find your Luna. Gwynn is a tough girl. She can handle a lot.’

I cut the mind link off with Alex and looked around my office. The fools were still talking amongst themselves, obviously to the world.

“Silence” I bellowed. Everyone coward and submitted their necks to me. My alpha command so strong I could see I was inflicting pain on them, but I didn’t care. I was their Alpha, and they would show me the respect that I deserve. “A war is coming, Gather the men, women, and children that can fight or that show potential. Take them to the fighting arenas, fit them with weaponry. Prepare them for war. If we our massacred, if your people fall, then the blame is on you. You’ve all been warned.”

I turned and walked out of my office. Slamming the door behind me, leaving no room for discussion. I took off running once outside my office, racing towards the library, my heart in my throat. I don’t know what I’ll do if I lose Gwynn.



***Guinevere***

When I reached the library I wasn’t sure where to start looking or even what I was looking for. The pack library was huge, it had multiple bookshelves that went from the floor up towards the vaulted ceiling. Each bookshelf had its own ladder to provide access to the higher up shelves.

I looked around lost, not sure where to start, when I saw an omega wolf cleaning some of the older shelves. I cleared my throat not wanting to startle her. She jumped a little, but quickly climbed down the ladder.

“Sorry ma’am I didn’t see nor hear you enter.”

“That’s alright…” I paused for a moment giving her a chance to provide her name.

“Wendy, ma’am. Wendy the library omega at your service.”

“Wendy,” I said smiling, I’m looking for information. And I’m not sure where to start. Are there old records kept around here?”

“Yes, all of the records are kept at the back of the library. Follow me.”

Wendy started walking towards the back of the library, I quickly followed behind her.

Would it really be that easy to find out who framed my father? I found myself questioning my mission again.

‘Yes Luna, it will be.’ Sabrina linked me. ‘Whoever betrayed the king and framed your father, wouldn’t have worried about covering their tracks. You can tell from the letter that they thought their plan was fool proof.’

“What year are you wanting to search?” Wendy asked me.

“Umm let’s see… if my math is correct, I’d like to read all the records from 1991 to 1993.”

“Anything particular you are looking for? I can help you narrow down your search.”

Wendy questioned me, eying me quizzically.

“Oh no thank you Wendy, I’ve got it handled from her. Thank you.”

Wendy shrugged her shoulders. “No problem, I’ll be in the left wing if you need me.” She handed me a fat stack of binders and journals before walking away.

I took the stack and walked over to the nearest table putting the books down. I groaned inwardly, why aren’t these files upload to a desktop. It would be so much easier to sift through them.

‘Oh quit complaining, the sooner we get to work, the sooner you can clear your parents name.’ Sabrina mentally rolled her eyes at me.

I sat down and sifted through the papers trying to find any hint or trace of the betrayer. My head was starting to ache, I’d gone through all of year ‘91 and a portion of year ‘92 and I wasn’t anywhere closer on finding the witch who made the potion or the person who bought the potion than I was when I started out this morning.

Groaning in pain and frustration, I pushed the books in front of me off to the side and laid my head down on the table.

‘This is hopeless’ I whined. ‘I’m just going to close my eyes for a bit and rest my head. Then I’ll resume my work.’

I started to close my eyes when I heard footsteps approaching me. I quickly opened them lifting my head up. Oh, it was just Wendy walking towards me with a glass of water,

“Ma’am, would you like a glass of water, you seem parched, and you’ve been going through those files for hours.’

I reached out accepting the glass. “Thank you Wendy, you’re so kind.

I tossed back the glass of water, and instantly I felt ill. My vision started to blur and I felt myself get dizzy.

“Wendy,” I called out to her faintly, “what was in that water?”

Wendy looked worriedly at me, but then her eyes glazed over. I could tell she was mind linking someone. My heart started to race, and I could feel my anxiety building up.

“Why Wendy?” I ask her again, my voice barely a whisper.

“I’m sorry, but I had too. I am the librarian and I am cursed to this place. I was told if anyone tries to research those years to give them this water to drink. And then to Alert Lazarus. If I didn’t I would die. I have pups that I need to get home too, I can’t risk my life.” Wendy choked out tears streaming down her face.

“Wh…wh..who is La..zz…za…Lazaruss?” I finally manage to spit out, my body feeling like it was being frozen within.

A deep dark chuckles replies back to me. A man coming into my vision. It was too dark to make him out.

“My my my, aren’t we a pretty little she wolf.” He said reaching out sliding his hand up my thigh.

I tired to jerk away but that just made his smile increase.


He removed his hand from my thigh and grasped my chin with it inhaling deeply. “Mmmm you smell like the Alpha, delicious.” Lazarus leaned down, and ran his tongue from my jaw line up to my cheek bone.

“What do you want from me?” I growled at him.

“I want you to give in and to stop fighting, I want you to sleep.”

It was as if Lazarus had placed a spell on me, my body instant relaxed and I felt my vision fading out. I tried calling to Sabrina but there was no answer. I felt my heart beat race, feeling like it was going g to burst out of my chest. I was terrified. I didn’t know what was going to happen. “Please,” I called out to Damien through the mind link. “Please, please help me.”
