The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 27

Part 1 Memory

Enchantress's POV

As my eyes were closed, taking myself back in Biorn's preserved memory, I focused on what I saw written on the letter.

"The letter was written with a left hand which means we have something that can help us find who wrote the letter since it was signed under anonymous."

"How do you know that?" Melody asked, taking a step forward, frowning in thought.

With a smile, I observed her for a moment, then decided to give her a good tip for the future.

"Since left-handed people move their hand over their fresh writing, they tend to smudge the whole paper with the same ink they write with. This paper was all smudged. An eye for detail darling. An eye for detail is the trick to many problem-solving issues. You can never tell when you can find it of good use later on."

"Oh, wow. That is a good tip to know," Luka smirked through a wince.

"What was on the paper?" Luka asked impatiently.

I sighed, then closed my eyes again to imagine it all in my head exactly how I saw it in Biorn's memory.

"The letter said that science was offering him a high-rank post as long as he co-operates. He would receive a good sum if he would accept helping them in the name of science."

I opened my eyes again now realising something important.

"This Biorn guy is not the head of all this. Someone else is behind the main purpose of this project. Surely he works for this guy now, whoever he is and they plan on something big. Though, I wonder if I can manage to get more out of the scientist's head," I said, moving beside the alpha. "With your permission, I would like to have a word with the prisoner again."

Luka nodded but grabbed hold of my arm before I started to walk away, pulling me closer to him.

"This project has been on for years. I wish to know when it started, the name of the boss, what the project is all about and their motive."

He eyed me until I nodded back in agreement, then he let go of my arm.

"Jake, Melchior," he said, motioning with his head for them to follow me.

It doesn't hurt to have two pairs of extra hands, just in case. We walked down the stairs, out of the main door and into the dungeons where we have been just a few hours ago. Two guards had to be standing just outside the doors but I couldn't see them from the angle I was at just yet. Still, my heart skipped a beat as I got a hunch that something was wrong. Their bulky figures were nowhere in sight and that only meant that they were either busy fighting inside the dungeons or they left the prisoner unattended for some reason.

I moved my legs more quickly, urging to reach the dungeon, and to my horror, the guards were bleeding and left dead in their spot.

"Damn it! Jason! Drake!" Jake shouted, crouching beside their bodies, hitting them lightly on their faces. He checked their pulse but they were gone. With a fist, he punched his legs, gnashing his teeth.

Melchior brought out an arm in front of me, stopping me from moving forward as he kept his body strong and steady.

"Stay here," he said, moving away his arms as he rushed into the dungeons checking the area.

Soon he came back up with his eyes wide open. "He is gone!"

Luka's POV

"I'll leave you two at peace for now. My sisters are calling me to get to them fast anyways. They said they have a plan on how we can assist you in this mission," Melody said standing up from the chair at the corner of the room.
