Luka's POV
It was time to take action. My wolf has now healed my wound and my strength got much better. Leaving my family safe in our room, I rushed downstairs with a smirk.
"Damn, I missed this kind of action."
I rushed outside and started walking towards the dungeons but I was soon stopped by a voice in my head.
"Luka, this is Nelly. Dr Write is walking into the dungeons. Melody and I are trapped in here, but you can surprise this monstrous creature from behind. As soon as he gets further in, I am locking his way out."
"I'm on it. But how can you speak through the mind link now? You are not a wolf," I asked confused, peeping towards the dungeon entrance from behind a tree.
"'Magic of course," she replied shortly.
Without wasting time, I mind linked a few of my best wolves, including Jake to join me. I could have done it on my own, but who doesn't like some backup?
"I finally got you, you bastard jerk," I whispered, waiting for the others.
"Luka," Jake murmured from behind me to acknowledge his presence.
"The rest?"
"They are right behind me, look."
I watched a few wolves joining us, then with a nod, they turned into their wolf form whilst I decided to remain in my human skin to have a direct conversation with the big bad wolf killer. Dr Write was already inside the dungeons and so I decided to proceed with my pack, moving slowly to avoid making too much noise. It seemed like he had no backup with him except for Faustus, the guy that can shift. Slowly, as we reached the dungeon door I motioned with my hand for the others to follow. The scientist's scent smelled of death like he was exposed to multiple dead bodies in one go.
Closing his only exit I put my mind at rest that he couldn't run from me, though Nelly has already done some spell that wouldn't allow him to escape.
"Dr Write," I growled loudly, allowing the echo of the dungeon makes me sound more dominant.
He took his last step, stopping just at the first cell, which was empty where I pictured he will be in in a few seconds. I started to walk closer to him as I watched him turn around to face me, turning Faustus along with him, still gripping his shirt from his shoulders. Faustus appeared to look a little worried about what was to happen with him, looking at me with an innocent face like he was pleading for his freedom.
"Thank you, Faustus. You did well. Now you can go," I said, looking at Dr Write in a possessive manner so he would let the shapeshifter go.
"Faustus?" he asked, looking surprised.
Without answering him back, he started to struggle to free himself from Dr Write's strong grip, but the scientist held even stronger.
"Where do you think you are going?" He screeched frowning at him.
"Let him go! It's an order!" I yelled, already exposing my wolf nails at him.
"He is my shield. Whatever you are doing to me, he is the one to suffer first. He seems to be important to you, does he? I fear no one!" Dr Write replied.
I couldn't control the growl that has just been released from my throat as my eyes turned ice blue.
"Ah, the king of wolves. So so interesting. You would be a good asset to my studies."
