Osiris’ pov
I was impressed that Lily had found a way to talk to this Cyrus guy. I wasn’t ruling him out, but why would he help us if he was part of their group. I had someone stationed near the hospital to follow Cyrus around for a bit, see if was telling the truth. Just to be sure.
I took Riker with me and we went to the town to question the people behind the bar. Two tall muscular scary looking guys asking questions, if this was like Lily’s show they would tell us everything they knew.
“What about I try my charms first and then we threaten them if it doesn’t work? I don’t want to cause a scene.” Riker said.
He was excellent with words and pretty charming, so I let him try while I waited outside for his signal. I waited for a while, until Riker came out laughing. “It works every time.”
He handed me a piece of paper with a name.
“What did you tell the person behind the bar.” I asked curiously.
Riker smirked, “well, I
hope you're all doing well.
Lily’s pov Oliver was really upset, we tried to keep up his spirts and distract him as best as we could. As long as we didn’t feel the packlink break there was still hope she was alive somewhere. We just had to hurry and figure out what the hell was going on. If these humans hated werewolves, why was April taken and not killed? Osiris asked me to meet Samira instead of him, he was following another lead. I went to the border and she was already there, waiting for me impatiently. “So you finally believe me?!” She said as she rolled her eyes at me. I growled, “our pack did more to help you than most would. We are missing one of our members, one of my friends. I’d advice you not to cross me right now.” Samira put her hands up in defeat, “I apologize Luna. I am just so fed up with this whole thing. As if living as a rogue isn’t dangerous enough, now we have to deal with humans. “ “You are more than welcome to stay he
Osiris’ pov Honestly, I would have never said yes to helping the rogues before I met Lily. She changed me for the better and I was curious which of the rogues would want our help. Or would want to join us. It wouldn’t be easy, but if they were banished for ridiculous reasons like Meadow, then it would be worth it. Right now I had other things on my mind though. Brooke had spotted Harvey and Karen in the bar where April had gone missing from. She had mind linked and I came right over. I wanted to be the one to catch them in the act. I could always just kill them, but I needed to find April first. I haven’t killed humans before, would it be different? It’s not really an honest fight and I normally wouldn’t even consider it. But taken so many of my kind made my skin crawl. They needed to be stopped. I drove behind their truck, keeping some distance as not to alert hem. Behind me was Brooke’s car. We might needed more people to stop them, but right now I ha
Lily’s pov “Luna?” “April?! You got out?!” “No,” April said and my heart sank. I lost my link to Osiris, so he must have been taken too. The rest of the wolves were on their way, but they didn’t want to attack right away. Osiris had told them how the hunters ambushed Brooke and seemed to come from everywhere. So they were searching the area for the best point of entry. “Are you okay? Osiris and Brooke have been taken, but more are on their way. Ready to attack. What can you tell me that might help them?” “I’m being kept in a facility, it’s pretty big and there are five wolves here. I think they killed the rest. I’m okay.” I was pretty sure she wasn’t doing okay, but putting on a brave face. “How are you able to mindlink me?” “There are doctors here and hunters. The hunters use the wolfsbane to make sure none can attack, but the wolfsbane is bad for the doctor’s experiment. So they lowered the dose. At least that’s what the othe
Osiris’ pov I was slowly regaining consciousness, getting aware of my surrounding at a slow pace. I could hear cries around me and whispers. My leg still hurt, I could feel every single silver pellet was still there, the wolfsbane was making it impossible to heal myself. On my other leg another thing was burning me and both my wrists hurt, not to mention my face, where I was kicked by that fucker Harvey. My eyes were starting to work and I saw I was in a cell with a bunch of other werewolves. Most were chained up with silver chains to the wall. Brooke was still unconscious next to me on the ground. I guess they were extra careful with me, I was not only chained at my leg, but my wrists were also handcuffed. Some of the people however weren’t chained up, they were sitting on the floor staring ahead like zombies. One of the rogues saw me staring, “the doctors were trying to find where our wolves resides. The fools, our wolves can’t be found in a piece
April’s pov I was shopping for paint supplies in the human town, when I ran into Cyrus. He reminded me of my mate, he looked like a biker with his leather jacket and long hair. I have no idea why I said yes to him when he asked me out. I wasn’t even thinking of dating someone, but it had felt so nice to be noticed by someone. It had been two years now and I missed being close to someone. I missed how it felt when someone looked at you and really saw you. I missed talking to someone before going to bed and watching tv together. I know it sounds silly, I have a full life. I have Oliver and my job, my friends. But it’s nice to have someone to come home to. I miss Richard every day, but the day I met Cyrus it hurt a little less. When Emma offered to watch Oliver I had no excuses left why I couldn’t meet Cyrus. It was just a coffee date. I could always go home. It wasn’t a big deal. “Yeah, keep telling yourself that.” Thea, my wolf said jokingly.
April's pov “Hi Cyrus, Lu- Lily.” I said, suddenly feeling really self-conscious about my appearance. By chance I had taken a shower and brushed my teeth, but I was dressed in shorts and a tank top. I wasn’t even wearing a bra or any make-up. My hair was flat on my head, while I usually styled my pixie cut with wax and other hair products. “O so that’s where the rest of your tattoos are.” Cyrus said looking at my legs and my chest. I had flowers on my upper legs and Oliver’s name written above my collarbone next to some butterflies. He looked over at my leg and I didn’t see pity or disgust in his eyes. “Your friend told me that these fuckers took you with them, but were caught by the police. They had to amputate your leg due to the accident?” I nodded and looked at Luna Lily. “I told him they took you with them to sell you. That your leg turned gangrene, because they refused to get you to a hospital. But were caught by the police. I watc
Cyrus’ pov I have been going to April’s house once or twice a week for three weeks now, but April has still not stepped a foot outside her fucking house. I can see she is doing a bit better, she is wearing more make-up, is smiling more and sadly she is wearing a bra again. I kind of loved seeing her without, every time we kissed I saw her nipples through her shirt. We’ve been taking things slow, I have experience with going too fast. So I don’t mind it one fucking bit. If all I could do is kiss April for the rest of my life, I would be fucking fine. I feel she is holding back though, she isn’t sharing much and I can feel something is bothering her. I gave Snake and Bear some food and water before driving over to April’s town. I had to wait by the gate before I was let in, usually accompanied by either Lily or her sister Emma. I thought it was fucking strange, but anything to see April. This whole town was strange, so damn clean and no homeless people
April’s pov Crap. I am pretty sure Cyrus just saw me heal myself and after almost revealing the truth to him. I knew I was being selfish not telling him who I was. He deserved so much more. But seeing him made my day easier, it made me forget what happened. He was like medicine to me and when he was gone I was reminded who I was now. I did my best to hide my pain from Oliver. It wasn’t physical pain, my missing leg didn’t hurt. It was the loss of my previous life. I was pretty sure I could shift, but I hadn’t dared to try. I was scared to leave my house, scared to see how people would react to me. Honestly if I stepped outside and let the world see me, I had to admit to myself that this was the truth. I needed to tell him. I wasn’t sure if him meeting Oliver would be smart before I got a chance to tell Cyrus. What if he didn’t want me afterwards? Then I would have hurt Oliver too. I had told Oliver I made a friend, but I hadn’t told him
