Chương 113: Alexander to the rescue

“Oslow, it’s a very tricky place to get into.” said Vet as he stares vividly at the map of Oslow.

“Didn't you like run the place 20 years ago?” I asked him while shifting my stance.

Currently, we are all huddled over the oak table trying to figure out where to go in at. I say we just go in and ransack the place, but the only problem is that we may get killed in the action.

“I did, but it’s been years since I’ve been there, some of the secret tunnels may be closed off. Or Sasha knows about them and have people blocking them I wouldn’t put it past her.” Sasha is very cleaver; she’ll know that were coming for Quinneth. I wouldn’t dare leave her there and she knows that, what does she want? Is she trying to provoke me or something? It may be torture for us trapping her, and she wants Quinneth so she can resurrect the First Power. If that actually happens, which I believe won't happen, it will be the end of us all in the Nygaard Kingdom.

“Is there someplace where she wouldn’t know about? Think deeply.” Henry focuses in on Vet, trying to see if he’ll remember something, anything. After a few seconds a glimmer appears in Vet’s eyes, he must have remembered something.

“Well. . .there is a tunnel that starts in the woods then leads to the inside of the prison. Only a few people knew about it, it was built specifically for me and my family just in case something catastrophic happened. I’m 100% sure Sasha doesn’t know about it.” His finger traces across the hidden tunnel under the ground.

The tunnel starts in the middle of the woods on the east side, then leads to the prison. It looks like it may take us at least 30 minutes to get to Quinneth and Katana. I hope she’s alright.

“Was anybody going to call me?” Everyone turns around to see my quite angry mother standing in the doorway. I can tell she just woke up because she has her robe on and bed hair. Her foot taps impatiently on the marble floor.

“Coletta honey. It was an urgent matter we didn’t have time to notify you.” My father tells her, taking a big gulp. My mother can be very scary sometimes. It’s the only person that my father is afraid us.

“I know you didn’t forget that I’m the Alpha of this pack too. Next time there’s an urgent situation, notify me. Now, tell me what’s going on.” She plucks her red glasses from her house coat and puts it on her face. Charles brings my mother up to date on the matter.

“Quinneth and Katana have been captured by Sasha. There currently located in Oslow, Quinneth channeled Alexander and sent a message. We are currently making a plan to get her back.” My mother comes up to me and rubs my lower back.

“Oh honey, I can’t imagine what you're going through. You know there's a hidden tunnel in the woods that leads to the prison.” Everyone glances at her, confused on why she would know this information. “I went to Oslow once when I was younger and saw some people going down there. I’ll stay here and hold down the pack, make sure if anyone comes by, you’ll be notified.”

“Thanks Mom.” I kiss her gently on her temple. It clutches against my lips.

“Anything for my favorite son.”

“I’m your only son.”

“I know.”

My father starts to assign orders to everyone. He, Charles and Henry will go in first since they are the three leaders of the pack. Followed by the best warriors we have, then me, Christian and Aren. We would bring Vet along with us but he is a liability. Sasha, mostly his father, wants him dead and we can’t have him dying on us when we're trying to save the girls.

“Ok, everything in order and everyone knows their positions. Go suit up we’ll meet outside in 10 minutes.” My father boosts out while clapping his hands. Voice starts to murmur out as they walk out the room getting suited up.

Lyra, whom I forgot was here, comes over to me. Her red hair has twigs and leaves in it. Dress is ripped at the bottom while her bare feet are in contact with the marble floor. She looks haggard not to be rude or anything like that. She looked so scared when she showed up here. . . . she was scared of Quinneth being missing as I was.

“Can I come with you guys?” She asked.

“You know you can’t Lyra.” I walk out the room on my way to get suited up. She follows close behind me, as she clutches her body together. It is rather cold in here now that I think about it.

“Why not she’s my best friend! I need to make sure she’s safe.” I stop in my tracks and turn around. People start to walk by us, I take her by the arm gently and talk to her on the side.

“Lyra look, I know she’s your best friend and you love her. Well guess what I love her too. Like Vet you are a liability if we take you with us, you can’t keep up and your human. Go home with Count, get cleaned up and take a nap. Me and the others can take care of this, we’ve been training for moments like this.” She tucks her red hair behind her ear, she shivers under the cool hair. I take off my red jacket and wrap it around her tall frame. She warms up against it.

“Damn this is really warm. Did it just come out the dryer or something?” I laugh at her comment. She reminds me a little of Quinneth.

“No, I’m warm-blooded. Perks of being a werewolf.”

“About that, I have many questions about. . .all of this.” She pans the room with her dirty arms.

“Just like Quinneth had. When I get her back you can ask her all the questions you want, or you can ask me she’s always forgetting something or leaving out details.”

“That sounds like Harlequinn.” A small giggle leaves her lips.

Behind her I see Milo coming over. He has the same nervous look Lyra had when she came in the room. Out of everyone in here I know he has to be the most scared. Quinneth is his granddaughter, he’s taken care of her since she was a child.

“Look, go with Milo you guys can wait here or go back to the house. If your scared I can have some guards go with you.”

“No, no I’ll be fine. Thank you though, ummm you should go the others may be waiting for you.” I pat her on the shoulder and give her a small smile.

Heading into the gear room, everyone is strapping themselves up with protection and weapons. In the far corner I see Zeta suiting up, where does she think she’s going. I walk over to her; she sees me coming and gives me a dazzling smile.

“Zeta.”

“Alexander.” She says mocking my tone.

“Where do you think you're going?”

“What does it look like.” She says in a duh tone. “I’m going to help you with Quinneth.”

“Oh hell no. Your father would kill me if he knew you were going out there with us, it’s dangerous. Plus, you have a mate now and a child.” She stops what she’s doing and glares at me. She hasn’t looked at me like that since we dated.

“First of all, I’m a hybrid which makes me way stronger thank you. Secondly, I’ve gone on many missions with my father and look I’m still alive. Lastly, I do what I want.” She pushes me aside and walks out the door, her hips moving seductively from side to side.

Over comes Aren and Christian.

“So, your hybrid ex-girlfriend is coming along with us then?” asked Christian. He sits down on the bench lacing up his boots.

“Yes, can’t stop her. And why did you add the hybrid?”

“Uh because she is one. Not everyone is lucky to date one. I heard there really good in bed. Isn’t that why you feel in love with her, because she was dominant.” He moves his eyes in a seductive way.

“I wasn’t in love with her, I just. . .was fond of her that’s all. Also, she has a mate.”

“Rhynan, son of the King of Ixelles. He is super-duper sexy.” Aren says behind me, leaning on the lockers. “She really did upgrade.”

“Um. . .rude.”

“You know I’m unable to lie. Come on everyone is outside waiting on us.” I look around the room to see everyone is gone, damn that was fast but what do you expect from werewolves.

Outside, everyone Is standing around. Most likely going over the battle plans. My mother says goodbye to the Beta and Gama and comes over to me. Her hands clutch my face.

“Mom. . .don’t.”

“Don’t what?”

“Don’t get all sad and stuff. We’ll be back before you know it.” She pulls me into a bear hug, I can feel her nails sink into my back. “Mom your nails are clawing at me.”

“Sorry, it’s just you're going to do something dangerous, and I want to make sure you're ok. Be safe Alex.” She kisses on the cheek; her lips linger on it. She then goes back into the house. I look up at the sky, the starts shine bright throughout the sky. I wonder if Quinn is looking at these same stairs, if there are even windows where she is.

“I’m coming for you Quinn.” I whisper to myself.
