The Wolf King's Luna

CHAPTER 21

CATHERINE.

I am startled awake by the rushing, harried feet running all over the place. My head was still covered but I could tell that they were lacking up.

Is this it?

Am I going to die now?

"I have to give it to your friends," that dead voice says from behind me. "They are very good at tracking."

What friends?

"They managed to track my scent here. Too bad they can't find it. Still, we would need to move. Be good now, okay?"

I feel him move around and soon the chains fall off.

"Ugh," my wolf whimpers.

"Are you alright?" I ask her.

Once the chains were in, I couldn't sense her again. I had been worried.

"I will be fine. Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"No."

The man grabs my hand and begins to pull me out. I can't help but stumble thanks to the bruises and open wounds on my legs caused by the silver.

"Walk. Don't let me kill you now," he snarls.

"What does he want?" she asks, her voice still faint.

"Not him. Tammy."

"Tam- that bitch. What does she want with us now? How did she know you are alive?"

"No idea. All I know is that she sent this man to kill me."

"Why hasn't he then? Don't get me wrong, I am glad. But why? He has had enough time to do so."

"I don't know that either. It's not like I can exactly ask him questions, my mouth is gagged."

"All this time?"

"Yeah."

"Then why aren't you scared?"

"What?"

"I am in your head remember,? You are pretty calm up here."

"I am? I didn't notice."

"hmm."

"What?"

"Nothing. I jus-"

She doesn't get to finish her sentence because I am shoved into the back of some truck.

Before I can right myself and sit up, my legs are pulled roughly and the chains clamped around it.

"Mmph," I groan out at the pain and get promptly ignored.

My hands are treated in the same manner and the doors are shut closed.

And once again, I am alone.

BLACKWATER PACK. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

DAMON

"Damn it!"

I have gone over this place over and over again and still nothing.

It has been three days since Catherine went missing and I keep returning here even when I don't have a reason to.

I just can't shake it. There is something here. I know it.

Ryder jigs up to me, face grim.

"Anything?" I ask.

"No."

"What am I missing?" I mutter as I turn away from him.

"Alpha, maybe w-"

"Alpha! Alpha! We found something!"

I turn and see one of the wolves at a far distance, waving at me, trying to get my attention.

Without wasting a second, Ryder and I run towards the man.

But before we get to him, he turns around and heads in another direction, but we don't slow down. We keep pace until we come to a stop in what looks like an underground tunnel. Hidden by several fallen trees.

The wretch.

Without saying a word we go in, following the tracks to a large twenty feet silver door.

An open silver door.

We rush in to see rows and rows of little cages. Broken empty little cages.

I would think they were for animals but I can see the blood.

There were people in there.

" Was Catherine in one of these?" Ryder asks in trepidation.

"No. I can't smell her in these."

"Alpha," the other man calls. "There is a room here."

I look over and see him standing by a small door.

I walk towards the door and duck in, only to be slammed by her scent.

The resulting growl has both Ryder and the wolf backtracking away from me.

I examine the room. Her scent is stronger on the steel chair over by the window.

There are chain hooks on the floor next to it but no chains.

This whole place is empty.

"They ran."

"Alpha?"

"They left not too long ago. Find their exit and we can track them," I say as I turn to walk away.

"Alpha?"

"Not now Ryder. I can't handle anything else."

I am barely holding on to my sanity right now.

All I want to do is go on a rampage. Kill everyone who wants to hurt her, to even look at her the wrong way.

It is all I can do to not storm into the Skylight pack and burn it all to the ground. The wolves as well. All of them, dead.

As I emerge from the tunnel, I see both Mel and Faye waiting for me.

"Anything?" Mel asks.

"She was here."

"Was?"

"they left. We probably missed them by a day."

"Shit," Faye curses.

"How is your wolf?" Mel asks.

"Still silent."

She sighs at that.

"Faye, " I call as I turn to her. "I need you to do something for me. It is dangerous though."

"Anything."

"I need you to breach the Skylight pack. Find whoever it was that met with the person we are tracking. I don't care how you do it but bring them to me. Alive."

"Yes, Alpha," she says before turning to shift and then running off.

"Now what?"

"I have Ryder and the others searching for any exits. We can try and track them with that."

"What about me?"

"I need you to find someone for me. The Falcon."

"The falcon? Why would you need him?"

"I have a suspicion as to who might have kidnapped Catherine. I need information and some help to find him."

"Okay, if you say so. "

"Before you leave, I need you to secure this place. If I try to do it myself, I might trash it."

"I got you."

I watch her head in and disappear before I walk away from the place.

The anger, the rage, it is crawling under my skin. Itching to get out.

"Damon!"

"Shit what? Don't startle me like that," I snap at my wolf."

"I want to run."
