CHAPTER 84.

-Erin’s POV-

Edmund, and Cole were waiting I walked with Gabby out into the woods and over by the clearing to a lake where Aiden, Nick, Cassy came running up beside us and smiled. She was so cute and I couldn’t handle how much she loved Gabby. Cassy was a golden. friend, one of those rare ones you don’t find too often.

This conversation was about to be anything but lighthearted. Noah, Gabby’s brother was still gone and they needed to find out what happened to him.

Aiden leaned down and kissed his mate, Nick watched me and I went to stand beside him but it didn’t feel organic, it felt uncomfortable for both of us.

“Has anyone heard from him?” Gabby asked but everyone shook their heads.

“I can’t believe it’s been two days already. How could I have waited with this?” She asked herself and shook her head.

“You were back with your mate for the first time in a long time and your wolves needed theirs,” I said and placed a comforting hand on her back.

“Do we have any ideas how this could ve happened?” Nick asked.

Edmund dragged a hair through his disheveled hair and sighed.

“You did say that Asher had a witch and this shit does sound like magic. Any ideas about who she is?” He asked and looked at me

“I never talked to her personally or saw her for that matter. Except for…” I thought back and remembered one night after the males had fed their lust I was left in one of the red rooms. I

“There is one person we know who may have information. She’s the only one in this pack who worked on Asher’s side.” Cole said and

looked at Aiden.

We were all walking up the stairs. Nick, Edmund, and Gabby were in the front and everyone we passed could feel their wolves.

They exuded power and anger and I honestly felt b bad for whoever the girl was that we were about to see. Because she would be the recipient of their rage.

Nick kicked the door down and there she was, sitting on the edge of the bed with bloody knuckles and there were scratch marks

around the entire room.

“Holy shit,” Cassy and I breathed at the same time.

Her hair was tangled together like a bird’s nest and the rings around her eyes

es were deep and dark. I could tell that she hadn’t been fed and she probably had some wolfsbane in her as well to weaken her wolf.

CHAPTER 84.

Gabby stepped inside and growled. Her wolf was stepping forward and I saw the fear in the girl’s eyes.

“What have you done?” Gabby growled. Aiden stood back and so did Cole. They were allowing Gabby and her brothers to take full reign over this.

The girl stood up and tried to hide her fear.

“Get me the f*ck out of here.” She seethed. Nick and Edmund stepped in on either side of Gabby and looked down at her. You could see her shoulders tensing and her head falling an inch as she felt their power.

*ANSWER ME!” Gabby growled and her fist connected with the girl jaw. She fell against the bed and narrowed her eyes.

You got stronger, maybe the time you spent with Asher wasn’t such a waste at all, huh?” she asked and laughed.

“What people don’t seem to realize is that strength is a choice. And right now I’m choosing not to rip you open, though that choice may not be mine for very long so I s

I suggest you speak.”

“It finally took effect, huh?” She said and smirked. She had no strength, no wits and no escape so the only thing she could do now

was gloat.

I had seen this so many times, there was no way that she was going to tell them anything that they wanted to know. She was having too much fun playing with them.

“Tell us what you did to our brother or I swear by the goddess I will break every bone in your body slowly. Hear every c*ack and watch you cry from pain…so tell me, what did you do?” She gulped and stepped back.

Her head fell and I was wondering if they had actually cracked her, would she tell them the truth?

“I didn’t do anything…You’re Interrogating the wrong person.” she sighed and looked up at Gabby.

Gabby’s brows furrowed and she grabbed the girl by her throat and lifted her from the ground. She started clawing a thrusting her head.

at her hands and

“Ama-Amanda.” She choked and her body fell on the floor as she gasped for air.

Gabby’s eyes glazed over and when she came back, she walked out of the room and closed the door. “No! Let me out of here!” The girl screamed from inside the room.

“Where is she?”

“She’s at practice.” They walked out and I just followed behind with Cassy wondering who the f*ck Amanda was and how that girl back there so easily gave her up. Cole had deviated and needed to take care of some other business and Aiden had to go find his parents who had called on him. He said to mind link him at any moment if need be.

I started hearing grunting and smelling blood as we walked out onto the field where the warriors trained. One of them turned and pointed to the shed so that’s where we went.

Inside was a whole other training facility with soft mats on the flodes, rings where you could fight and bags hanging from the ceiling.

It reeked of sweat and rubber but it looked cool. No wonder the people here were so strong –

“Amanda!” Edmund shouted and got her attention. She was in the ring with another girl when she saw us. She stepped out under the rope and walked toward Gabby and her brothers but when she got closer and saw what she was up against-she-bolted”. Amanda ran past the bags and out into the locker rooms but nobody followed.

I was confused at first but then I heard someone screaming and fighting and out from the locker rooms walked another warrior

She fossed her by their feet and bowed her head before walking off. Somehow I forgot that Gabby was the actual

“You know why we’re here. What have you done to my brother?” Gabby asked and kneeled in front of Amanda who was still on the floor with her arm in her hand. It was dislocated. Gabby grabbed it and shushed her before pulling it back in place.

“Answer me or the next thing to happen is your arm will come off and I don’t think I don’t have to tell you that though a werewolf can heal, we can’t regrow body parts. Even I got chills hearing her speak.

“What the hell are you talking about?” She seethed

“Noah, my brother, someone has messed with his memory and Sam said it was you,” “I- I have done anything to him, I don’t know what she’s talking about!”

“Have you been in contact w

with a witch?” She asked and stood back up.

“What…well…” Gabby stood straight and waited for the answer.

“Well?”

“Yes but not to mess with your brother,”

“Is this witch part of our pack?” Gabby asked.

“No but-”

“Was she aligned with Asher?”

“I-

“Did yo

you tell her any pack business?” Gabby’s voice rose with each question and I saw how Amanda covered back as the authority in her voice became clearer.

“I did but not anything about-”

“Than I hereby confine you to the dungeon under suspicions for treason!” Amanda’s eyes grew in their round form and her chin fell to

the floor.

“No! I haven’t betrayed anyone!”

“Since when has it been okay to talk about pack business to outsiders?”

“But Sam said-”

“Enough. The questioning will continue in your cell.” She shook her head frantically and roached for Gabby when two warriors grabbed her arms and carried her away.

“No!” She kicked and screamed but to no avail.

“Luna, what methods for questioning?” / Another warrior asked. He had a big build and several scars running over his body.

“Any methods that will bring answers.” She said.
