The Wolf In Me

Chapter 22 The Beast In The Shaddows

Part 1 The witches' plan

Nelly's POV

 

I watched quietly as Melody, the youngest from the three of us was turning the pages of the book, observing the sketches of all the different monsters that could emerge from hell. She did a good job at holding the beast all on her own for all that time and surely, her powers were powerful. I placed the cigar between my lips as I turned the cigarette lighter on.

 

"When will you stop that habit Nel? You know it's not good for you," Lylah uttered, placing down the glass of wine on the outside table as she looked at me with a sharp teasing frown.

 

I inhaled my first bit of the cigar, closing my eyes with pleasure and turned to exhale it on Lylah teasing her back. She coughed waving in front of her face to remove the cigar fumes that surrounded her nostrils.

 

"You tease, come here!" She said, giggling whilst trying to snatch at me, almost falling off her chair.

 

"Hey guys, I think I got something. Look!" Melody said excitedly.

 

"Demolishing spell. It says that it can be used on any beast of hell. It needs the strength of a few witches. The more the better," She explained.

 

"Let me see," Lylah said, walking to her side, taking the book.

 

"Demolishing spell," she started to read, then looked at Melody.

 

"Well, bravo. You got it right," she smiled at her, then walked to my side.

 

"Here, this must be the one for sure. Should we contact more witches?" Lylah asked hesitantly.

 

"No! They must not know that we have this book in our grasp. They would strip us all of our magic. Then what? We would be just humans!" I said sharply, making sure she doesn't do that mistake.

I feel like Nelly was right. We would be stripped from our magic which to us, it is worse than a death penalty. My mind was full of stress from the responsibility of protecting the most powerful wolf pack.

I could not use magic around the human world so I needed to hurry back home before anything would happen that triggers my natural habit. I suddenly hear a scream that came from one of the side streets that lead to a man-made river, and I promptly decided to investigate further. I hid behind a large metal crate and peeped to see a blonde woman being molested by a big guy that was wearing everything in black, like he was a heavy metal rocker, with long wavy hair that went down to his shoulders and a few tats on his arms. I didn't want him to kill her, yet I

I have died for a few moments but the beautiful moon goddess gave me mercy for my courage to save a fragile human. I promised to be her knight wherever she needed me for as long as I lived.
