The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 15

Mei's Pov

We searched for hours trying to find the spot from where the vamps were entering but it was to no avail.

"They came from that direction for sure," I insisted, looking at Luka.

He pursed his lips not knowing what else he can do.

"Unless...." I stared straight at the long path that was flickering with the lit torches hanging on the wall.

"Unless there is a hidden passage," I continued.

Luka cleared his throat as he scratched his head thinking of the possibility. He waved an arm at the other two alphas to follow us back through that passage and we started checking each part of the walls that surrounded us.

I stopped staring at a picture of a past alpha that was hanging randomly on the wall. He resembled my father so much, yet I knew it wasn't him. I smiled at it as it brought back a few memories of when I lived a normal life with a traditional family wolf pack before all the troubles tore us apart.

"You know him?" Luka asked from behind.

I pressed my fingers on its outline and I swore I felt like a bump from its backside. I looked at Luka before investigating any further. I removed the picture and that is where I saw it. A brick standing a bit further out from the rest. I pushed it and the wall started to open a dark and smelly passage. It made a loud noise of the movement of the bricks. Alpha Kaden and Alpha Jeremiah rushed to our direction looking stunned. We all just stood there staring for a while.

"How did they find such a place that we didn't even know it existed? It is part of our territory yet it was nowhere on the map," Luka said now moving a few steps into the passageway.

"Come, let's follow its directions to find out where it leads to."

We started to walk further in each holding a fire torch. It echoed and stank like there was something dead in it, possibly because it was closed for a very long time unless there was more to it than we were thinking. Five minutes in and there was no sign of another passage or exit. We kept moving further in and then we spotted a deep hole in the ground, so deep that we were not able to see its end. We were not able to move in any further as the hole was as wide as the walls.

"What now?" I asked confused.

"It must be the path that leads to the vampire's domain!" Luka looked at the two Alphas.

"We must do something about it. What if they try to attack us in our sleep?" Kaden started.

"They can climb up everything," Jeremiah said backing him.

"Luka, I'm sure you have an idea," I said smiling at him with my reassuring attitude.

He sighed and looked at us.

"I am going to bring this s**t down. We will block the path and they will not be able to come through."

We looked at each other knowing that if he tears down the walls everything else resting above it will come down with it.

"I'm sure we misunderstood," Jeremiah said with a confused expression.

"We make it look like it has been blocked is what I meant. Do we not have two witches on our side?" He smiled at us as we laughed it out.

Lylah's POV

"Did you just see what happened? The vampire burnt up at the touch of Luka's blood," I said wide-eyed.

"We all know he was sent by the great moon goddess to rid us of these horrid creatures. It has come to no surprise," Nelly said with a smile on her face.

We watched the packs turn back into the massive packhouse as the vampires fled.

"Let's go," she said moving her head towards the door.

I nodded and followed her down to the hall where everyone gathered to celebrate the first day of victory but Luka was nowhere to be found. I tried to search for Mei but she wasn't anywhere too. I only hoped that everything was fine.

"Hey," a young girl stood in front of me hoping I would get her attention.

"Well hello, sweety. How are you?" I asked fixing a few strands from her golden yellow hair.

She looked down with sad green eyes.

"Papa did not return. He might be one of the dead," she said teary-eyed.
