"Amelia! Where the fuck are you?" Zane called out as quietly as forhe could for the fifteenth time since they sneaked into her house.
"Zane be quiet, do not forget that we have a large audience outside, not just any audience, but wolves like us who have keen hearing abilities, and these same wolves happens to be after our lives. I suggest we look for her ourselves because she would have answered us by now if she could hear us," Shirley said.
"Where are we supposed to start looking for her now?" Zane replied in frustration.
"Can you stop being such a baby Zane! We definitely do not have time for this. There are about seven or eight rooms here, let us start with that for now, we would know what to do when we are done checking and we don't find her," Shirley said.
"Fine, I will go check the rooms downstairs while you check the ones around here," Zane said.
"Okay," Shirley replied, then she watched him as he started walking down the stairs, "Zane,
Shirley untangled herself from him before replying, "that was why I was about to go in search of you, I found her curled up in her closet but she refused to open her eyes or say anything to me," Shirley said then she pointed to the closet where Amelia was. "Zane, please whatever you want to do to shake her out of her daze, do so quietly and quickly, we need to leave as soon as possible. I think they have sensed our presence and they would barge in here anytime soon, so we need to leave as soon as possible," Shirley said to him, when she heard footsteps outside. Zane nodded his head in response then he walked towards the closet where Amelia was. He shook her violently and said, "Amelia get up now, we need to leave immediately, if we do not leave now, we would be in huge trouble," Zane said. He was about to shake her some more when she opened her eyes. "Zane? When did you get in here?" Amelia asked quietly. "Zane, Amelia!!" Shirley called out in panic.
"Please, do not make me do this Shirl, how do you expect me to go back to his house without giving him an explanation? He doesn't deserve that, no one do. I am not sure he would even let me go without hearing why I acted the way I did this morning. He had been calling all these while and I didn't pick up," Amelia replied. "I hate to announce this, but time is one thing that we do not have, so how is it going to be ladies? Are we borrowing or should I go ahead and steal? I already have a target in mind," Zane said. Shirley looked at Amelia pleadingly, silently begging her not to allow Zane commit a crime. "Fine, you win! But I am not going there alone, you are all going with me. That way, we would not have the opportunity to question me," Amelia replied in defeat. "Alright, that is settled, we are borrowing. We do not have to steal or commit any other crime just to get a car," Shirley replied with a smile. Zane nodded his head at her enthusiasm
Liam gracefully came down from the stage then he signalled to Zane to address the crowd.Zane nodded at Liam, then he bowed his head at the crowd to show his gratitude. When he lifted up his head, he said to them, "thank you all for accepting to fight even when it is not your battle, I promise to repay this debt for the rest of my life."Shirley slithered her way from Amelia's side and walked towards the direction where her brother was standing, "what are you putting down?" She asked him when she got to where he was standing and noticed that he was jotting something on a notepad."Nice to see you too sister, how are you doing?" Ace replied with a smirk."I would have said that I am doing alright but you already know the situation we are in. Thanks for deciding to join us even when you are not obligated to, I really appreciate. So tell me, what are you putting down on your notepad?" Shirley repeated her earlier question."I thought you would have ch
"You know I can hear you right? Please do not question my feelings about her, that is the quickest way to make me angry," Zane replied in a low yet scary voice.Shirley snapped her fingers in order to get their attention, "in as much as I appreciate you both caring about me, I do not think this is the right moment to start arguing. Ace, I am sorry to say, but nothing you say or do at this moment can change my mind about going, Zane tried and failed, so I suggest that you do not waste your energy trying to convince me because you are surely going to fail like he did. Reserve your energy for a greater cause, you would need it later this night. By the way, I am not a baby anymore, I am a full grown adult, so I suggest you refrain from calling me that, only Zane has the right to call me a baby because I am his baby," Shirley said, winking at them both when she got to the last part of her sentence.Ace looked at her for a moment then he decided against speaking about
When Shirley got back to where the wolves were gathered she met them pacing around anxiously, they were probably waiting for the go ahead command. She smiled just to reassure herself that everything is going to be alright."Very well then, you guys can shift now, we would leave immediately we are done," Zane called out to them when he noticed how angstful they were. As if they have been waiting for his order all their lives, they immediately starting shifting without wasting any more time.Shirley watched with wide eyes as they started stripping off their clothes without a care in the world, they look so strong and confident in their naked state, something that she was not sure she would ever be. She has never been confident enough to walk around naked like the other wolves do. She quickly diverted her gaze and moved to another place when she made eye contact with a naked man. She watched in awe as humans began to change to their furred forms transform into full grown
"Come to me darling I will make sure that you are safe. Whoever owns you certainly do not deserve you. He is such a fool for letting a beauty like you go into the battlefield. You are not supposed to be here darling, you are supposed to be dressed up in a room awaiting the return of your mate. Come, come to me babe, I promise to treat you right and make you the queen of my heart," the man said to Shirley grinning at her."I certainly can not go to a man like you even if my life depends on it. And I would like to let you know that I am not a property that is owned by anyone so you had better change that mentality if that was what your father taught you. Being a lady does not stop me from being a warrior, and I am sure that if we were to compete in a match, I will beat you fair and square," Shirley replied in spite"You dare to lecture and challenge me you...you bitch? Come here, I will teach you to know your place, in your next live you wouldn't dare
Shirley was surprised that the trees were still burning though it had calmed to a gentle smoke. She frowned when she looked around but she did not find Zane anywhere around. It was unlike him not to be close by when she was unconscious, he was always around."What are you looking for?" Ace asked Shirley calmly already knowing who she was looking for."Zane? Where is he, I can't find him anywhere around," Shirley replied looking around in panic.Ace sighed sorrowfully, avoiding her gaze, "let us leave here for now, you medical help and you need to rest. I will tell you all about when you get yourself cleaned up, you stink more than me you know," Ace said trying to lighten the mood."You know me already Ace, I will not leave here until you bring Zane to me, you all can go ahead without me, I will wait here until he comes for me," Shirley replied."Stop being stubborn Shirl, we have to get your wounds treated before it gets infected, I can see how muc
Shirley, close your eyes for a moment. Okay, you need to rest. I promise when you open your eyes, you will be in a soft and comfy bed. Okay," Amelia said soothingly."I did not care for any bed as long as Zane would not be in it. Tell me Lia, how am I supposed to go to bed without him by my side? Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to because I can't fall asleep without him by my side. On every other day, even when I know that he is safe and sound working in his office, I still wouldn't be able to fall asleep until he comes back, so tell me how I am supposed to sleep knowing that he is in a strange pack getting tortured? The thought is making my heart constrict... wait if he is... what if he is no more? " Shirley sobbed, fresh tears pouring from her eyes."Shiley! I told you
