Chapter 50-Tracing fire
” Damn it! Damn! ” He dealt two hard blows on the steering wheel which made the horn scream twice with the rhythm of his blows.
” Why is it happening all over again? No! No! It’s not the same. It’s not the same thing! ”
He bent his head over the steering wheel this time as its loud horn yanked, making the noises in his head fade a little.
Two loud thuds over his car roof, made him look up.
He signed and frowned as Beck and Josh descended from either side.
” How many times did I ask you not to damage my toys? ”
The two jumped in through the windows and said,
” We went after him. He could barely walk after taking all that Wolfsbane. ”
” Ah, that Chong! He offered him Aconite as if it was beer! Go on. Tell me you found it’s lair! ”
He asked. Both shook their heads, as Beck began,Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
” He robbed a beggar and went straight inside a phone booth and dialed someone. ”
A person showed up. He was human.
The two of them were talking in sign language so we couldn’t really make a lot out of that.
But it was clear the lad was begging him for something but the human kept asking him if he was being tracked.
They had a little scuffle but before we could intervene, the lad jumped on the man, twisted his head off his neck and began drinking from the blood fountain. ”
Ryan made a face as if that cringed him.
” Eww! How tacky. So they have a very well organized group of these young wolves that they are making and they have human chauffeurs assigned to them. ”
Ryan was stroking his stubble, thinking about it. ” They have the best somewhere nearby. Tell me what happened next! ”
” We didn’t intervene at all like you had said, we just observed and followed.
When he had finished draining his human he sprinted towards the cliffs. ”
” Cliffs? The place beside the sea with that old
abandoned building? ”
Ryan asked before Josh could go on.
He nodded, ” Yeah, that one. I thought that building must be their cave. Man! I was wrong. He charged straight in the ocean and disappeared! ”
” You didn’t follow him into the water? ”
Ryan almost barked.
” You know you would never be able to track him in water. It would have been useless, so we rushed to find you instead. ”
Ryan nodded, acknowledging his mistake. He knew he was having mood swings. Definitely because of Sherry but he couldn’t let that out on his boys.
” Okay let’s go take a look there right now. ”
He drifted the car back then roared the engine forward .
Ryan walked upwards on the rocky path that led to the abandoned building and its adjacent walls.
He touched the bricks with his hands and sniffed.
He kept walking along it, while sniffing.
” There definitely is something fishy about this place. I can smell werewolf scent everywhere.
If there are so many werewolves in our neighborhood, why haven’t we ever encountered even one?
Does this mean they have been deliberately masking their scents?
Very well, I understand that they might want to function alone and not want any problem with us.
But why now? Why are they letting their presence known to us now? Why did they target Sherry’s belongings? Why did they place that tracker in Chong’s car? Who are they? Seems like they know me too well! ”
Ryan kept walking through the building, ” Come on out now from the shadows, old friend or foe, you want my attention? Here I am! Come face to face! ”
As Ryan walked a little more inside, he stopped.
Something touched his feet. Something soft. He picked it up.
To his utter shock, it was Sherry’s belongings.
Her underwear . He could smell her scent still on it but it was smeared.
It was smeared with semen.
A werewolf’s semen. Somebody had masturbated on it.
Ryan sort of understood what it meant. For them to leave it behind was a warning. A warning that they wanted Sherry sexually and it was a warning for Ryan. It was a warning for him to stay away .
He snarled and bent on all four, putting the filthy thing away in his pocket before his boys could see it.
He looked here and there for more answers.
” Scatter around and look for anything weird. Could be clay, rock or thread. Anything that your gut feels, should not belong to this place. ”
Ryan took Sherry’s underwear out again and examined it carefully, sniffing it with disgust. But he needed to confirm.
He thought he could smell camphor in it. If he was correct, there were more than werewolves involved in this grand plot.
After a couple of seconds, he understood that what he thought was right.
It was camphor. The ingredient that the witches used in all their rituals.
It meant they had something with her. Something that involved black magic.
” Shit! ” Ryan pulled his phone out immediately to call Sherry. He needed to make sure that she was alright.
Her phone was ringing. It rang several times. But nobody answered and Ryan started getting paranoid.
Just then his inbox beeped and a text appeared,
” She is sleeping Alpha. We were watching a horror movie together when she suddenly started shivering. I thought she was scared but then she passed out. I checked her head and she was burning with fever. I gave her some medicine and now she is in her room.”
It was Bellow who had answered back.
” I will delete these texts so she doesn’t know that I know her password. ”
Came in the second text.
Ryan was about to hurry back home upon hearing that when Sherry’s underwear in his hand burnt his skin.
” Ouch! ” He let it go so it fell on the ground.
It caught flame right at that moment and Ryan stepped backwards.
Beck and Josh came running in as well, seeing the flame.
” What is that thing? ” They pointed as the flames leaped before ending into ashes.
And the ashes then began rearranging themselves into letters and words, in a language none of the men understood.
