The Wolf In Me

Chapter 63: Part 2 Magic

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.

Melody's POV

It was around six o'clock in the morning when the alarm went off. I exhaled, trying to gather myself to get out of bed. Five hours of sleep was barely just for my energy to come back the way it used to be, but I needed to get started.

I turned to look at Jake that was still snoring next to me, though he moved around slightly, sensing me waking up.

I slowly tiptoed out of bed and changed into my comfy black trousers and a red top which barely fit me due to my larger belly. I smiled for a moment, taking my time looking at it, realising how much it has grown in just a few months. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Can't wait for you my darling," I mumbled, rubbing it with both hands.

Closing my bedroom door behind me, I started walking to the library where I found Nelly, Lylah with her arm wrapped up, and the enchantress waiting for me as they chatted in silence, not to make a lot of noise. It was still dark outside and the wolves would only wake up when the sun rises. The library was the best place to make sure that no one wakes up with all the noise we were about to make in a few minutes as it was the only room that was soundproof.

"So," I started, moving forward, "Is everyone ready?"

"As ready as can be!" Lylah said, grinning at me.

"How will you make it work?" Nelly asked her, looking worried, glancing at her broken arm.

"Well, I still got my other hand, don't I?" She replied to her, looking into her eyes, "just come closer and hold me from here," she continued, slightly moving her thin bicep.

"We are going to try our best, right? I hope things don't get too complicated. Both you, Lylah and I, since I'm expecting, we cannot stress our bodies too much," I said, raising my eyebrows, "so the majority of the energy has to come from you, enchantress and Nelly."

"Let's do this," Nelly said with her arms extended for Lylah and myself to reach and form into a circle.

Gazing at each other for a moment, we nodded in approval. We closed our eyes, concentrating on the main objective.

"Mar na rou gui sela, mamba lauda gui sambo, rasa erbu lamero hasrem fila gui rau," we chanted in witch tongue, sensing every inch of our bodies intertwine with each other. It all started in a whisper, but the more energy we needed, the more we raised our voices.

The superiority and strength made us all smile, having that good feeling of power channelled into each one of us. It has been years since we last had the opportunity to do such magic and sometimes minor opportunities were what made us happy to use our gift.

Due to my pregnancy, it was more difficult for me to remain steady, but I encouraged myself knowing it was for the best of us.

We kept repeating the chant and a few seconds later there was a ray of light coming from the centre of the circle, followed by a gush of wind, throwing a few books down from the shelves, making some noise in the background.

Together we stopped and parted our extended arms, opening our eyes to see if our plan worked. There he stood naked and wet, looking at us in confusion, unable to move in shock.

"What's this all about?" He asked sternly.

"Welcome! It has been a good while since you were last summoned. Fear not, you are in the hands of the good witches," I said, grinning at him.

"This is Nelly, Lylah, Melody and I am the enchantress, though I think you might recognise me from last time."

"I do remember. We have made a good exchange. I trust you can make me happy once again," he answered, looking straight into our eyes, now gathering himself up, "but please, first things first. I need to wear something, don't I? I was halfway out of my morning shower."

With a nod, the enchantress quickly waved a hand and got him into some trousers and a t-shirt.

"There, you look much better now," she beamed.
