The Wolf In Me

Chapter 26 Next Of Kin

Part 1 The scientist

Luka's POV

"Damn it," I whispered angrily, holding a fist in mid-air.

"Hey, hey, quiet" Melody warned, bringing my fist down. "Don't worry, I got it," she said, grinning cheekily as she closed her eyes and took deep breaths to focus.

She chanted silently whilst I observed our surroundings and Jake was trying to spot the person that shot the tranquillizer.

"You cannot fight it off. It's too strong. Now, let's find out if you got that tattoo hidden under your shirt," the scientist said, exposing Melchior's chest.

My heart started to race thinking we were going to be screwed but as I was getting my weapon ready I heard the scientist speak again.

"Oh, seems like you are the one."

I felt confused about how he had a tattoo identical to mine, but I heard Melody slightly chuckle, feeling pleased with her magic.

"Was it your doing Melody?" I asked, staring at her.

"Guards! Come get him in the trunk. Let's move!" The scientist called out, still gazing at Melchior.

Suddenly, I turned my attention back towards Melchior and the scientist and I couldn't control my emotions any further so I growled loud enough to make the trees shake, releasing my wolf. No time to waste, I pushed through the branches that came my way, barely letting my feet touch the ground in the hopes of saving Melchior.

Jake's POV

To my horror I watched Luka run towards our enemy, exposing his wolf. I urgently needed to find who shot the tranquillizer before he shoots another at him too. I reached out the shotgun Luka left behind and aimed at the direction from where I last heard some faint shuffles in a bush to my left. Sure enough, I spotted her. I aimed and pulled the trigger, making a huge disturbance in the forest.
