The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 63

Nelly's POV

Fast walking towards the entrance of the packhouse I pushed through the slightly opened door where I found the enchantress and her daughter discussing deeply.

"There you are! I have been searching for you. Where have you been?" Melody asked, "anyways, you came just on time for my explanation. I got a plan to find out more about these idiots that are ruining our normal life once more!"

"I was at the dungeons paying a visit to subject 40. I found out that they are just objects to these scientists and they didn't even find it in them to at least teach them how they should react or behave around others, not even give them a proper name. It took me a lot of time to convince her to wear some of my clothes," I explained frowning.

"Subject 40?" The enchantress asked frowning at me.

"There was 40 tattoed on her back. When I mentioned the number she reacted to it. It was the only time we did some improvement. Other then that she doesn't know how to communicate. Even gestures are useless with her."

"That is so disrespectful! We must do something about it, and fast," Lylah said, joining us.

"It is time we find out everything and expose everyone that is working within that building and bring them to justice. This is absurd! I believe more subjects are being experimented on or thrown away like garbage. We must stop them at once!" The enchantress said angrily.

"I have a great plan and I am sure that it is going to work. Are you ready to listen?" Melody asked, grinning at all of us.

Mei's POV

"Darling, are you ok? You look," I paused for a moment, thinking of the right word, "tired."

"Well, that is because I am. Apart from that, I feel a weight on my shoulders that I can't get rid of."

"Might I ask what is making you feel that way?" I whispered, pointing at Mason's bed to remind Luka not to carelessly wake him up.

"It's those damn scientists. The strongest ones are the injures ones. It is like they know whom to pick at. I can't stop myself from thinking that we have a spy within these walls, yet I don't see anyone I don't recognise," he murmured, sighing as he sat down on the bed, dressing into his pyjama trousers.

Sighing, I placed myself into my bed sitting down, reaching for my glass of water from the bedside table. He was right to worry and there were no words to make the situation any better. Placing the empty glass back on the furniture, I tapped my hand on the bed, gesturing for Luka to join me in bed. He tucked himself in locking eyes together for a moment as I managed a faint smile.

"The enchantress wants to go by herself in their territory. I think that is way too dangerous to do. She wants to disguise herself in being one of their subjects. But I think it is the worst idea I heard so far. What if they recognise her by her wound? What if it would be too late to save her?!"

He growled quietly, frowning whilst wrapping his fingers in a fist. I took his and in mine, trying to calm him down, though I was also upset about the situation and I had nothing better in mind. He glanced at me breathing out, trying to gather himself.

"We must think of a good solution. Once my wolf heals my wound, I will take care of the problem myself. I will not stop until it is taken care of," he continued, looking at the watch on his bedside table.

"This cannot wait, Luka. You cannot do everything yourself. You spend days on end, and sleepless nights working for everyone," I took a breath before continuing, "just, sleep for tonight. Give yourself enough energy for tomorrow."

With a faint smile, he moved his warm palm on my cheek and kissed my lips before tucking himself under the bedsheets.

"Good night my love," he said in a whisper.

"Nighty night sweety," I whispered, switching off the night lamp next to me.
