The Savages

After meeting her pack members, she went back to her normal routine. She worked online, in the pack, and was trying to get her parents to tell her more about what was going on.

Her parents did not want to, and she knew she could not force it out of them even though she could use the truth spell, but there was no way it would work on her mother.

Malisha was worried, and it seemed like her brother knew something she did not. She had already concluded that her parents wanted her to rest, but she is twenty three years. She can handle herself.

Sighing, she writes an article for her blog. After her blog post, she decided to let her wolf go for a run. She transforms, and goes around until she feels a sharp alert that something happened outside their borders.

She turns back to her human form, and hides in scent in case the killer is present. She uses her invisible spell too in order to make sure she will not be ambushed.

She goes on, and sees a man in pain. From the smell of things, he is a lone wolf, but the question is why?

She looks at him, and checks if he is still breathing. She accesses his wounds, brings him to their borders in order to avoid getting jumped. She does a basic healing spell to ensure he does not die. She ensures he has no tracker on any part of his body. She then checks to see if he is hexed. When Malisha sees everything is in the clear, she changes back to her wolf form in order to carry him quickly.

Belle is in control immediately, and in record time she takes the male to the pack’s hospital . She can tell he is werewolf. He is supposed to heal on his own, but the wounds are obviously poisoned so he is not able to heal himself.

She reaches the pack’s hospital in record time, and they immediately notice the man in her arms, and put him on a stretcher. She changes to her human form, and since she is a witch, she can change without being nude.

She sits down waiting to see what happens to the man she brought in. By now, her parents have probably heard about this. Her mother and brother, will probably be on their way. As if they knew she was expecting them, her mother and brother are already in the hospital.

“Do you know who he is?” Her brother asks.

“You know he is lone wolf bro,” she replies.

She was right. No one entered the pack without it showing. They always know, and Malisha was sure her mother knew when she came even though she used a spell.

“Did you at least make sure there are no trackers, or anything that can put our pack in danger?” Her mother asks her already in witch mood seeing as her eyes are shining, and she is trying to gauge if the guy in the operation room has any bad aura.

“I used the discovery spell mum. I know you will still check,” Malisha tells her mum.

When her mother is finally relaxed, Malisha says, “You did not notice anything.”

Her mother nods in affirmation.

“So how bad of a state is in?” Her mother asks.

“Pretty bad. I used a healing spell so that his blood loss could reduce, but his injuries were so severe that he could not heal himself,” Malisha reports to her mum.

Her mother puts on scrubs, and says, “I am going in the operating room. You can go home and relax Malisha.”

Malisha shakes her head, and replies, “I will not be going home right now mum. I suspect foul play, and I will like to know what happened to him that he was in that bad of a state. I need to know since no one is telling me the full truth on what is going on behind closed doors.”

Her brother and mother look at each other, and her brother shrugs as if saying, “She is your obstinate daughter after all.”

Her mother looks at her, and sighs. “This might be a long surgery though, and you probably need to rest.”

Malisha shakes her head, and says, “I am okay right where I am. I would have joined them in the operating room because the injuries don’t look normal, but I know he is in the best hands.” Malisha refers to her mum.

Her mother rolls her eyes, and goes to change into scrubs.

Her brother looks at her, and asks, “What is the deal with you and the Lone wolf.”

“I saved his life, and he is unconscious,” Malisha tells her brother.

“If you are wondering if he is my second chance mate, he is not. I doubt I will be having that.” The second she says that, her brother’s face comes down.

“Mal, I’m sorry,” he says. Malisha shudders at the pity filled tone.

She smiles at her brother, and says, “You are not the reason for my unluck so, do not apologize for something you did not cause.”

Her brother is about to say something, but he stops himself knowing that his sister does not want to speak on the topic anymore.

“Now that we are here, and alone, don’t you think it is time you tell me what is actually going on?” Malisha says wiggling her eyebrows at her brother.

He glances around to ensure no one is around, and he says, “Mum and dad said I should not tell you about this yet Mal.”

“Well, in case you have not noticed, mum and dad are not here,” Malisha whispers dramatically which makes her brother roll his eyes at her.

“I do not think you want to know what is going on sis,” he says shaking his head.

“Trust me bro, you have no idea how much I want to know. The only thing keeping me cool right now is the fact that we are in the hospital,” Malisha tells her brother with a serious expression on her face.

“There are things going on behind the scenes,” her brother says.

“We have gotten to that aspect. I am here for the actual thing, not an overview.” Her brother rolls his eyes at her, and says, “You do know you have to exercise patience, right?”

Malisha scoffs. “That is exactly what I have been doing. That is exactly why I have not cast a spell on those who know what is going on.”

Leo stares at his sister for some time, and knows that if he does not tell her the truth, she will find ways to get it out.

“We are referring to them as savages,” he says.

“Them? Who are the them?” Malisha asks.

“Those who are tormenting us. It is as if they are making use of forbidden magic. Initially, we assumed they were coming just for us, but they seem to be coming for not just werewolves, but witches, vampires, and the others.”

Her eyes widen when her brother says that.

“But if they are making use of forbidden magic, there is no way they do not have at least one witch on their side,” Malisha says.

“Of course we know that, but we should not also cancel the thought on the fact that it might not just be witches. Since they are a secret group preying on various creatures, they seem to be different,” Leo tells her.

“Oh My. I knew the reason was going to be huge, but this is not what I expected,” Malisha says deep in thought.

Leo shrugs. “It has been a struggle for all of us especially with us trying to find out who and who are involved in this. Which is exactly why we will have to go to the Lycans even though I do not want to,” Neo tells his sister annoyed at the fact he has to see his former friend.

“And I do understand. What I do not is the fact that our pack were not attending the meetings initially,” she says.

“In the first year, we did not, but after a while, either our beta and delta go,” her brother says.

Malisha smiles thinking of how the beta and delta who she sees as her uncle stepped up.

“So, you people think this lone wolf I saw was probably vandalized?” Malisha asks.

“Probably. We can not be too sure, and I know you were quite thorough in order to ensure the safety of our lack, but these days, we can’t be too sure sis. Which was why mum checked even though you had already.”

“I understand even though my pride did not see it that way. I do hope we whatever is going on will be revealed soon. I just don’t get how I did not find out about this,” Malisha says.

“Mum and dad spoke to grandma and grandpa. They wanted you to heal instead of diving into this immediately,” Leo replies.

Malisha looks at her brother, and she can tell he means the rejection. She hates that Grayson made her miss out on this discovery, but she says nothing becusss at the end of the day, she can understand where her parents are coming from.

“Who and who will be going to the Lycans?” She asks.

“Mum and dad, and Delta Zel and his wife, Anne. We will be on standby for the pack,” he says.

“Do you think anything can happen?” She asks filled with dread.

“No, we do not, but just in case, some packs are being precautionary. It is for the best. This meeting is not just amongst the werewolves Mal. The others will be in attendance. Everything is just hush hush,” he says to his sister.

She nods, and they both fall back into silence deep in thought, wondering what this means for both of their kinds(Werewolves and Witches).

Leo goes to get something for them to eat while they wait. After a bit, Beatrix, Malisha’s mum, comes out.

“What happened to the guy?” Malisha asks her mum.

“A lot,” she replies.

“He is very fortunate that you saw him if not, he would have been gone. He is still in deep sleep so, no one can see him yet,” her mum says.

“Do we at least know who he is?” Malisha asks.

“From the spell I did, his name is John. Let us hope he wakes up fine so that he can tell us what happened,” her mum says.

“Did he not suffer injuries in his head?” Malisha asks.

“Just a concussion here and there. Fortunately, they were focused on the other parts of his body. I believe he will heal just fine,” she says with a smile on her face.

“Thank Allura for that,” Malisha says referring to the witch goddess.

“I will be going back in soon love. I want to check him, and be sure he is fully out of the danger zone because once he recovers, he will be brought in for questioning.” Her says giving her a look.

“I know mum,” Malisha says.

When her mother goes back inside, her brother comes back with the drinks , and asks, “What did mum just say?”

“That she is pretty much done, and that his name is John.”

Her brother nods, and she can tell he is here on behalf of their dad to ensure that John is not a threat.

After thirty minutes, her mother comes back to see them, and she says, “Malisha, you can come and see him right now.”

“What about me?” Her brother asks.

“You can come in too, but you are not allowed to question if he is threat or not yet.” Her brother grunts, but nods at his mother.

They both go in, and Malisha winces at the bandages on him.

He looks at them with question, and she says, “Hey.”

“Hi,” John replies.

“Do you remember why you are in this state?” Malisha asks immediately.

“Malisha! You are not meant to ask him anything that will trigger him,” her mother scolds her.

Leo grins and says, “And I was the one you warned.”

“I remember why I am in this state. Although it is quite vague. What I do know, is that they called themselves SAVAGES,” John says.

Immediately he says that, Beatrix and her children freeze.
