The Wolf In Me

Chapter 67: Part 2 Trapped

Luka's POV

It was time to take action. My wolf has now healed my wound and my strength got much better. Leaving my family safe in our room, I rushed downstairs with a smirk.

"Damn, I missed this kind of action."

I rushed outside and started walking towards the dungeons but I was soon stopped by a voice in my head.

"Luka, this is Nelly. Dr Write is walking into the dungeons. Melody and I are trapped in here, but you can surprise this monstrous creature from behind. As soon as he gets further in, I am locking his way out."

"I'm on it. But how can you speak through the mind link now? You are not a wolf," I asked confused, peeping towards the dungeon entrance from behind a tree.

"'Magic of course," she replied shortly.

Without wasting time, I mind linked a few of my best wolves, including Jake to join me. I could have done it on my own, but who doesn't like some backup?

"I finally got you, you bastard jerk," I whispered, waiting for the others.

"Luka," Jake murmured from behind me to acknowledge his presence.

"The rest?"

"They are right behind me, look."

I watched a few wolves joining us, then with a nod, they turned into their wolf form whilst I decided to remain in my human skin to have a direct conversation with the big bad wolf killer. Dr Write was already inside the dungeons and so I decided to proceed with my pack, moving slowly to avoid making too much noise. It seemed like he had no backup with him except for Faustus, the guy that can shift. Slowly, as we reached the dungeon door I motioned with my hand for the others to follow. The scientist's scent smelled of death like he was exposed to multiple dead bodies in one go.

Closing his only exit I put my mind at rest that he couldn't run from me, though Nelly has already done some spell that wouldn't allow him to escape.

"Dr Write," I growled loudly, allowing the echo of the dungeon makes me sound more dominant.

He took his last step, stopping just at the first cell, which was empty where I pictured he will be in in a few seconds. I started to walk closer to him as I watched him turn around to face me, turning Faustus along with him, still gripping his shirt from his shoulders. Faustus appeared to look a little worried about what was to happen with him, looking at me with an innocent face like he was pleading for his freedom.

"Thank you, Faustus. You did well. Now you can go," I said, looking at Dr Write in a possessive manner so he would let the shapeshifter go.

"Faustus?" he asked, looking surprised.

Without answering him back, he started to struggle to free himself from Dr Write's strong grip, but the scientist held even stronger.

"Where do you think you are going?" He screeched frowning at him.

"Let him go! It's an order!" I yelled, already exposing my wolf nails at him.

"He is my shield. Whatever you are doing to me, he is the one to suffer first. He seems to be important to you, does he? I fear no one!" Dr Write replied.

I couldn't control the growl that has just been released from my throat as my eyes turned ice blue.

"Ah, the king of wolves. So so interesting. You would be a good asset to my studies."

"I am no one's pet! Pack, get ready," I yelled, still eyeing the scientist.

The scientist held the victim stronger against his chest, covering his vital organs as he moved further back. Little did he know that we had already planned for the worst and he was already cornered, so I smiled dominantly, still making eye contact with him. He looked confused at me, not sure if he didn't understand my expression or maybe he didn't know what to do next without any backup from his side.

I lifted an arm for the wolves to get ready, then brought it back down as my index finger emerged along with its wolf claws. I heard everyone growl from behind me as they took off forming in a circle around Dr Write and Faustus. Griffiths shifted himself into his actual human form, making the scientist let go of him with extreme shock in his eyes.

"Impossible!" He murmured, still staring at the shapeshifter, not believing what he has just seen.

"And like that my friends, I leave the rest for you whilst I go enjoy my new wine and add it as one of my new collections," Faustus said, grinning and bowing at me.

"Don't leave just yet. Wait for my return in my office," I grinned at him before he walked out of the dungeon accepting my request.

"As for you," I continued, motioning with my head for the witches to do the next step.

The wolves gave way for Nelly and Melody to walk through the circle. With one wave of the hand, they pushed him with some magical force into the cell as the gate closed behind him. From my point of view,

I couldn't see clearly where he landed but I heard a thump against the wall which only meant that the force pushed him hard enough to hit it.

"Not so tough now are we scientist? Or should I say, murderer? I have tone too many questions to ask, yet I will wait. Today you will prepare yourself for my questions. Tomorrow for your answer. A wolf always knows if you tell the truth or if you lie, so don't dare try to cover any of your actions. Alas, you will be punished," I said reaching the locked cell.

As he was still on the floor, he screamed as loudly as he could, making my wolf ears wince. The white part of his eyes was getting red with rage and as he managed to stand he rushed to the cell in an attempt to reach for me, trying to pull me against the metal gate that was blocking his freedom.

"You will not get away with this!" He whined, rattling the gate.

"Oh, I think the odds are against you my worst enemy. I can get away from here whenever I like, whereas you, you are stuck in here until I say so.

Everyone in the room chuckled at my answer as we set foot outside the dungeons, feeling the freshness of the air once again and the bright daylight hitting our skin, making it warm again. The dungeons are always a little chilly, humid and its scent is like something dead is rotting somewhere close to your nose.

"Enjoy Dr Write," Jake chuckles, closing the door behind him, but naked.

Melody quickly lent him her scarf that she has just removed from around her neck so he would cover his ass and front. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Tomorrow I need you, Jake and the enchantress to join me for a long honest chat with that guy down there whilst Melody and Nelly, I wish if you can spend some time with our new addition to the pack. I

am sure she would appreciate quality time with you. She needs to learn important stuff. Also, she is no longer a subject here, so we must give her a name. Teach her how to talk, how to dress, how to eat and be polite. When she is ready I will assign her with my wife to teach her how to control her wolf and how to fight if she ever needs to protect herself."

"How about the lab? There are still a lot of scientists there that can carry on with Dr Write's work," Melody asked, looking at me with curiosity.

"One step at a time, Melody. Tomorrow we start picking at Dr Write's brains. Then we will see from there what to do with the lab."

"Can't we just shut it down and get it over with?" Nelly interrupted, trying to reach our pace.

Showing her that I was getting upset with her for not trusting my idea, she looked away for a moment, pursing her lips.

"Fine. I trust you, Luka. I intend to save whoever is still being a victim of science in there and is being thrown away in that pit the enchantress mentioned."

"I will assign a few of my pack to go save the rest of the subjects as soon as we arrive at our packhouse."

Suddenly as we almost reached the main door, Selene, one of the wolves that were with us pointed out that there was some fire coming from the forest that was slowly heading in our direction.

"Hurry, we must warn everyone! It is soon going to reach us!"
