The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 61

Lylah's POV

I was in much need of some relaxing time doing what I loved the most. Reading in the library at a time where no one lingered in the corridors, making sure there was perfect silence whilst venturing into a place of the author's imagination. I exhaled as I rested on the comfy sofa, wrapping myself with my favourite blanket I keep in one of the empty cabinets in the library.

As my eyes moved along the lines of the book, just like magic I drifted into a dream I chose to be in, where there was the mightiest sorcerer the world has ever seen. His wife was known to be the most beautiful mermaid that could shift into her human form as she pleases. I spent hours reading until I felt ready to go to bed.

My heart started racing as soon as I stepped out of the wolf pack library, listening to a lot of commotion. A wolf's strong growl echoed from the hall, and it was surely not a friendly one.

I heard a female's scream and felt I should help whoever is in danger. Rushing to the voices I find a few wolves in their animal form lying on the floor all injured.

"Watch out!" Was the last thing I heard before something or someone leapt on my back, taking me to the ground. I managed to turn around to find the she-wolf growling in my face, tearing my skin with its claws. I lost my voice with panic, thinking it was going to kill me, but Keisha, one of the wolves in the pack, came to my rescue, shifting in her wolf and pushing the she-wolf off of me. Whilst trying to run away from it to inform the alpha, I slipped before taking the stairs, breaking my arm. It took me a few breaths before I managed to start walking the long way up to Luka and Mei's bedroom.

"We have a situation alpha," I breathed, looking like I'm a mess, "I don't think that Mei should come, because it's a dangerous problem."

Luka followed me down the stairs to see a werewolf looking straight at us, ready to attack with its teeth exposed and its front lowered down. I didn't dare get close to it again, risking my life and I couldn't use my powers either since I got injured, so all I could do was observe the situation. Melody, being pregnant, also couldn't risk using her magic and so she stopped right next to where I stood, inspecting as her husband went into action looking concerned.

Luka's POV

I scented something unusual from it like it was between pure human and yet werewolf kind, but not belonging to any pack. I didn't want to hurt it, but as I looked around me, I saw about ten of my faithful wolves, lying injured on the floor. I growled at it, exposing my teeth as my eyes turned ice blue. I was still healing from the previous wound, so I tried to avoid turning into my wolf.

The werewolf growled back at me, having no fear whatsoever, ready to rip at my skin. Lylah that was still halfway down the staircase behind me, stopped me from walking further.

"Luka, we have to do something, but you can't shift either. I thought she would stop and obey her king, but she has no control over herself. I I am unable to use my magic if anything happens since she attacked me."

"I have no choice," I mumbled, yet loud enough for Lylah to hear.

"No Luka. Let me go get Jake. He can fight her. You can't risk damaging your wound further. You are needed for more than just one issue, alpha."

Still eyeing the she-wolf, I nodded and stood my ground, still on the last few steps on the staircase, avoiding having her get any further from where she stood.

I kept growling at it, making myself look bigger but it was not scared at all like it didn't have a master. Its eyes were black like she was possessed and her fur was yellow-like, not soft-looking, but rougher just like the rouges.

As the wolf tried to get close, I started to growl strongly, waking up my pack. Everyone started opening their bedroom doors, peeking out, trying to see what was happening. The main door was halfway open, and somehow she must have made her way in through the main gate which was supposed to be guarded by two strong wolves, Baine and Cole.

Suddenly I could hear two familiar strong growls and as I turned to look, I see them jump over me, landing next to the she-wolf. It was no other than Jake and Barbara, one of the omega wolves that had her bedroom door on Jake and Melody's same floor.

Jake, in his wolf form, jumped over the she-wolf's back, biting its back. Barbara joined in, biting the wolf's front left leg, making sure it is broken to make her weaker. The she-wolf whined at the snap of the bone-breaking, falling to the ground.

Jake and Barbara quickly moved away watching the she-wolf turn into her human form. To our horror, the woman before us was no other than a replica of the enchantress's image, looking more pale and frightened than the original one.
