Chapter 20 >> Kade’s View

 

I pressed my back further, squishing my mate between my body and the wall. I hissed at the white-hunter. He stepped closer, his eyes filled with lunacy and his gun raised. I could smell the wooden bullet from here, it was made of exactly what I had feared. “how did you find the tree?” I asked him, he just tilted his head to the side and smiled broadly, “You little blood-suckers are very bad at hiding things you know. It’s very easy to find a tree that has lived longer than humanity. Especially when we have their precious Princess on our side.” At the mention of herself, Olivia walked around corner.

“Hello dear brother” she said calmly as she strutted to stand to the side of the hunter, “How are you and your whore doing?” she spat sarcastically.

“Don’t” I hissed “You don’t have any clue what you’ve done”

“Oh, honey,” she said sweetly, “I know exactly what I’m doing, and exactly what I want” she pointed at my chest with finger guns “I want the girl, I’m giving you 48 hours to bring the wolf to the Elders tree or otherwise,” she flicked her fingers and I felt Julie disappear from behind me and appear in handcuffs on her knees in front of Olivia. I cursed under my breath and moved to start running towards her, but the white hunter prepping his finger on the trigger of the gun froze me.

“Tsk tsk tsk” Olivia said, waving her finger at me, “Now now brother, do you really want to do that” she smiled at me and for once, I saw the same lunacy in her eyes as the hunters.

“As I was saying before” she continued “Meet us at the Elders tree, with the wolf, and I’ll give you your precious girlfriend back” Olivia began to play with Julie’s chestnut hair, then violently tugging at it. The hunter pulled the trigger and the shot landed in my arm. Anger rippled through me as Olivia and the hunter disappeared into thin air, with Julie. I clutched my arm. “NO!” I screamed.

Chapter 21 >> Lana’s View

 

I turned the knob, but it didn’t move and instead burned my hand what the hell? I shook my hand and it healed. “Magic?” Randy mumble, confused. He rammed his shoulder into the door and the same thing happened, he was reflected and burnt. “Somebody cursed the door” He explained.

I looked at the wall. But they didn’t curse the wall I thought loud enough for Randy to hear as I slammed my body through the wall. “Julie?!” I screamed, waiting for her reply. But nothing. Randy hopped through the hole I created in the wall to go help Kade, who was on the ground grabbing at his bleeding shoulder. “I thought bullets weren’t supposed to hurt you guys?!” I yelled over his screaming, confused. “They’re not” Randy said alarmed. Kade stopped screaming, he turned to Randy, who was holding him up against the wall. “They took her” a bloody tear rolled down his face, “It was Olivia” He started balling his eyes out, the blood going everywhere from his wound and his tears. Wait what, Olivia? I went to try and comfort Kade, trying to understand his rambling. He saw me and looked me in the eyes with pure hate “It’s because of you!” He said grabbing at my neck. I pulled back horrified. “Olivia wanted you! She took my love to trade you for her!” He screamed at me. Oh hell no, that bitch- my thought interrupted by my wolf’s I’m going to rip her head off, string by string, vein by vein. For once, I agreed with her violence, no one was going to take my best friend and think they could get away with it. “What the hell did they shoot you with?!” I heard Randy ask him, “They know where the Elders tree is, the hunters know, Olivia is leading them, she told them, Why would she do this?!” Kade was obviously distraught. I had the sudden urge to go to him. I squatted back to his level as he screamed at me to go away, blaming me, I ignored him and reached into the hole in his shoulder. I pulled a wooden bullet out of his wound and more blood poured out of it. I pocketed the bullet and ran my hand over the wound with my eyes closed. I felt something in my body pour into him. I had no idea what I was doing, but it apparently made Kade feel better, as he’d stopped screaming. I opened my eyes back and pulled my hand back, and for a brief moment a white glowing hand print was over the hole, but it faded quickly and so did the wound.

“What in the hell was that?” I heard Randy exclaim,

“I don’t know” I said, confused on what I had just done.

“I think it, whatever you just did, healed him” he said astonished, “Which shouldn’t be possible, because that’s Elders wood, it’s supposed to poison and kill vampires.” he grabbed at my hand and examined it for a second. A small moan came from Kade as his hand felt for his injury, failing to find it he looked up at me confused. Randy grabbed Kade and lifted him up onto his feet. “In 48 hours” he mumbled as he stumbled, “She gave me 48 hours to take the wolf to the Elders tree, or she’ll kill my love.”

I froze.

The word ‘kill’ echoed through my mind, activating something deep inside me. my body snapped and cracked and I felt myself changing form, it didn’t hurt this time though. It felt natural.

Chapter 22 >> Randy’s view

You’ve got to be kidding me, I watched as Lana changed into wolf form, this time she wasn’t screaming or in pain, and she didn’t have the wild feel that she had before. Realising that she might be in a normal state in her mind this time, I tried connecting a mind channel through to her so I could speak with her. It clicked in and I felt her normal presence, Are you alright? I asked her through the channel. Yeah, she said but how the hell are you doing this? She asked

mind-readers can connect telepathically through brain channels, that’s how I’m talking with you right now, I figured it’s the only way I can talk since you can’t really speak English when you’re a wolf I informed her,

 No shit Sherlock she said sarcastically. “I need to take you” Kade mumbled pointing at Lana’s wolf form “I need to take you to get her back” he swayed forward trying to reach her but I pulled him back into my grip and put his shoulder around my arm. He started crying again. “Pull yourself together man!” I yelled at him, God forgive me, I would be killed for speaking to him like this but he was acting like such a child. “the both of you need to work this out together, you need to work out a plan on how to get Julie-Anne back and have Olivia pay for what she’s done, her betrayal should not be taken so lightly as in a deal. Understand?” I said as they both stared at me, “am I the only one in this room with sense?” I sighed, a voice boomed through my head, I have sense. Sense that I’m going to rip that woman’s throat out it said. no guess needed, that must be Lana’s wolf talking. We’ll discuss that later, but I need you to cooperate, we’re going to need you I told it, Fine, it faded out and I heard Lana once again, what did she say? She asked

nothing, don’t worry about that, for now I need you to go downstairs and see if you can do what you did to Kade to the injured vamps downstairs while I talk to Kade and find out what just happened. The wolf nodded and jogged off and out of the room.

I placed Kade up against the wall as his mind seemed to be gathering itself back up again, I was intrigued by the whole fiesta that had just happened “Why would Olivia do something like this?”

Kade stared into my eyes, his filled with hatred at the mention of his sisters name “Does it matter? Nothing matters to me…” They flared up with something more than just hatred, determination “Except for getting my love back and my sisters head on a spike!”

“and no doubt, Prince, we will not prevail on either of those goals but,” I sighed “There is no succeed in giving Olivia what she wants, plus” I remembered what one of the white hunters had said before I killed him “We will need the wolf on our side, Olivia doesn’t just know where the tree is, she has one of the Demons Trials spell books” Kade’s eyes widened for a moment, but his responsibility clearly kicked in as he nodded and took in the information, “So, what’s our next move commander?”

“I have a plan, but, the wolf will not like it…”

Chapter 23 >> Julie's view
