The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 33

Part 1 A plan to elope

The enchantress's POV

All of us witches were still in the library getting ready for Dr Write's arrival. With my eyes closed, I concentrated to find Faustus's Griffith's mind. It has been a long time since I last used this technique so I was a little rusty. After a few frustrating moments, I managed to get a five-minute glimpse of his last conversation with Dr Write. Through Faustus's eyes, I could see everything and hear the full conversation. This was something I needed to report to the alpha of the moonshine pack as fast as possible to make sure that everyone was prepared for anything that could happen.

"Witches, get ready, everything is going as planned," I smiled, feeling content that we worked as a team of a strong woman.

"I will let Luka know," Nelly said standing up from the floor, breaking the circle that we formed.

"No, don't worry about that, I got it. I need you to get yourselves, ready ladies. Don't forget what we planned to do," I said reassuring everyone with a nod.

As the young witches rushed out of the library, I stood up holding my side as I felt a sting coming from my still-healing wound. Wincing at the feeling of pain I still pushed myself to start walking, taking one step at a time.

"Can't wait to make you pay for this Dr Write. You have no idea whom you are dealing with," I said with a brittle voice.

Settling myself I started making my way towards the alpha's office whom he was writing something on a piece of paper.

"Enchantress, is everything ok?" He asked, looking at my face.

"I'm fine but I came here to warn you. Dr Write is on his way to us here. It is a long story but with the help of a shapeshifter, we managed to trick him into believing that he is going to find his favourite experiment, leading him to the dungeons where you can easily lock him up. Of course, he got some company with him so you need to prepare a few of your pack to take necessary action. My girls are already there waiting for our enemies' arrival."

The alpha stood up from the chair looking straight into my eyes quietly, resting his arms against the table. I could tell he was processing what I just said and my face started to express the urgency for him to do something he ran out of the door yelling code red as loudly as he could to gather his pack. I followed him outside and watched quietly as the wolves started to rush into the hall, waiting to be informed of the urgency Luka was expressing.

My long green dress was too heavy and tight and I knew that it was the reason why the pain was getting worse again. Holding myself against the wall, I tried to focus hard on what the alpha was saying, but soon my vision lost its fight and felt myself being pulled down on the floor.

Luka's POV

"I need twenty of you guarding outside the walls. One of you must be my messenger and rush to me once they arrive. The others must fight to get rid of the guards Dr Write has with him. Five of you will be in the dungeons waiting for his arrival whilst Jake will protect Faustus. He is a shapeshifter, a friend of the enchantress that helped us bring our enemy right where we want him."

Suddenly as I peek at the enchantress's last post, I noticed she was not standing there any longer, but a few of my people closest to her were surrounding her lifeless body that lied on the floor.

Rushing down to her side, everyone moved away, giving me the space I needed to get to her. Kneeling to her side I felt her pulse and checked her breathing.

"Bring a nurse, she can't breathe," I yelled in urgency, "not now great witch! We need you here," I whispered, holding her hand.

"Alpha," one of the nurses called, looking down at us.

"Yes, right here," I replied moving aside to let him work.

"Her dress. It's too tight," he explained, cutting the ribbon off her back, loosening it for her.

Immediately she gasped and coughed hard opening her eyes wide in shock, breathing heavily as she looked at everyone around her.

"Ok everyone," I shouted, trying to bring back the attention on me whilst removing it from her to give her some space.

"Jake, can I leave the rest with you?"

With a nod he took my place as I stepped away, moving back towards the enchantress. She was breathing a little better now but still, she needed to rest.

"I will ask my wife to give you something comfortable for you. I don't want you to wear anything inappropriate for your situation. We all thought we lost you," I frowned, showing my worried face towards her.

"Oh alpha," she chuckled in between breaths, "I will be fine. I don't die this easily anyways. Being stubborn is all I am."
