ALLEN"S POVI just kept quiet before they opened one more door, Leading me into a room with a gla.s.s door framing the whole wall. Across the room sat a worn-out guy, his hands and legs chained with few bruise marks still left. I wondered who made him this way?, although all my doubts were pointing towards Blake, I had to let go of those thoughts.
Rock went to the next room and sat across him. It was a scene you would see in crime investigation, asking the culprit few questions.
" What is your name?" Rock asked in a stern voice, enough to make me flinch. But Blake held my hands making me relaxed, we sat on a chair looking at the man before us.
" I"m Rota, Witherine"s soul beta and I have come here in need of help" he said with a strained voice.
" How can we trust you?" Rock asked still maintaining his stern face.
" Because they will be coming after Reddrick"s sister and we are unable to protect her"
" Who will be coming after her?"
Rota hesitated for a moment before " The Alpha of the red blood pack" and I could sense the tension in the room.
" Why is he after her?"
" It is not a he?" he said
"It"s her, they call her the blood queen, we do not know what she is capable off, but we know she is the one behind all the kidnappings, she is seeking a certain witch to perform black magic, we do not if its true but our pack is rouge and over the decades our pack size as reduced to 100, our Alpha has gone missing, and so I have come here to ask for help. I want Feriene( Reddrick"s sister ) to be safe. I do not want to see her been taken away by that MONSTER" his eyes held such contempt that it was difficult to go unnoticed.
" Do you know where the Red moon pack is?"
" No, we haven"t found their location, they are still in hiding, me and my pack members have searched for her for decades and still haven"t found their base. It as though they never exist in this realm. But I have a clue" he said
His eyes drifted, I guess imagining where it would have been.
" If you go further north there are white Mountains or as we call it where the white wolf resides, whenever my pack members go there, they never return, I"m not sure if it"s because of the fog, or the steep plains or if they are murdered, we never see what goes in come out, and we can"t just go in aimlessly since there are many traps."
"People have said, that is where the blood queen resides with her army, even before we enter we need a strategy, we can"t just wander in aimlessly or else we will become the food for the devils" he said with seriousness that it all sounded like a hypothetical fantasy world.
I was surprised to see Blake"s face in such tension, that he was believing in this man"s words.
" Have you seen her, the blood queen?" he asked
" No, But I remember Reddrick telling me that her wolf is grey with red eyes".
There was a long pause before,
" tell your pack members to come in, we will give shelter for those who require it, provided you keep your words and do not hurt us " the words echoed through the room before the lights went down and the room became dark again.
I couldn"t ask, I was afraid of the answer, were their mythical creatures. I wanted to know, but knowing too much will always kill, elders said, but even knowing too little, is ignorance which leads to death.
There were two options before me, to confront them or to just dismiss whatever happened in this room. What was I supposed to do?
" Allen, I know you have a lot of questions, it is okay to be afraid" he said hugging me, his arms were holding me as if I would break any moment.
Yes, he loves me no matter what, I have to trust him, I thought.
"let"s get you some sleep" he said walking me out of the room, I was back in Blake"s office when I heard loud noises.
" What is happening" I asked Blake concerned.
" well, my dear, it seems that your brother as come"
" oh s.h.i.t, how could I forget that what"s the time" I asked panicking.
" Its 5pm" he said trying to calm me down.
" I have to go, or else he will ground me again" I said heading towards the main door when it busted open.
" A.L.L.E.N….you come down right this moment, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ESCAPING FROM YOUR HOUSE MISS"
Oh d.a.m.n, when my brother uses the word MISS, it means he is angry.
" I left a side note" I said in a soft voice, I could hear Blake running behind me.
" Oh yeah, Wait this?" he pulled out the yellow slip I had put on my table.
" I will be going out for a minute, will be back soon" he readout
" I am sorry but I dint know one minute meant 8 hours" he said shouting at me.
" I was just worried" I retorted
" About whom, This guy?" he pointed at Blake.
" Its not like he is your boyfriend or anything to get worried" he shouted and I was silent.
My brother looked so comical right now with his eyes wide open when he realized I was dating Blake.
" You are not serious, are you?" he asked with uncertainty that I just nodded.
" what….how….." he blabbered his words mumbled.
" Sir, I would request you to stop scolding my future wife like that" Blake"s said in his professional tone that I blushed…I mean how could he tell that we just started going out.
" what …future wife…she still a kid….I object this" my brother shouted back pulling me towards him.
How easy it would have been if both these people just stopped glaring at each other like cats, I thought.
