Sisters by chance - The beginning

Making A Man Talk

Jacob POV

When I reach her room, I get a link from Johnny. They're done and he's wondering where I am. So I sent him a mental picture of when I entered her room. 'See you down at the prison cells in fifteen, bring Lucas' he announces before I shut him out. Inside her room, she is lying in bed. Curled up with her hands in Luc's. He is sitting on a chair next to her bed with his back bent and his head beside her chest. He looks comical next to her, he is so big, and I chuckle at the sight in front of me. 

I stroke her hair behind her ear and smell her, oranges and cloves, sweet and warm. It feels unnecessary to wake her up, but Luc needs to come along if he wants to. She is his, too. So I shake him gently; "Luc, bro! Wake up. We need to talk." He looks up dazed. He gently loosens her grip on his fingers and gets up. We sneak out into the hall.

"Johnny wants us to meet him in the 'dungeon'. It's time for Hugo to get a taste of his own medicine."

"I'm in! Has something more happened, or why is John taking over from the investigators?"

"One of the other girls is his mate, her name is Mia. Sofia saved her life ..." I don't know how to continue that sentence, so I trailed off. Luc looks at me suspiciously and waits. When I say nothing, he raises his eyebrows.

"So our sweet girl has saved the future Luna's life?" sweet sounds so inadequate after all this, not even princess or goddess fits.

"Angel, she's an angel," I explain emphatically. I promise Luc to tell him everything, but later. In the hallway, we send my mum a text about coming down. We are in a bit of a hurry so we don't wait for her to arrive at Sofia's room, she knows where we are going and will be with Sofia if she wakes up. We meet her at the entrance and I hug her before we continue across the street. We pass the receptionist at the station and go straight into the stairwell. But instead of going up to the office, we take the stairs down to the basement. At the foot of the stairs, two warriors stand guard. They greet us respectfully and press the code to the door that leads to the cells. Down here, the walls are gray concrete, all steel and silver-coated. We rarely use this space. There is no need, usually. Once inside the corridor we are met by Harry, he has the boy, Tobias with him. Johnny stands further down the corridor waiting. Luc towers in his full length beside me making Tobias look like a small child in comparison to this massive grizzly. When he is with our angel he is soft as a teddy bear, it's funny really. Tobias takes a step behind Harry almost disappearing in his baggy washed-out clothes. 

When we reach Johnny Luc bows with a small, "Alpha!"

“You're good at this, hierarchy and stuff! It’s cute.” I joke, earning myself deathly glares from them both. I laughed and raised my hands in surrender. Me and Blue both feel elated, ready to go. We want to beat this guy up so hard he almost dies, then let him heal and do it all over again. Mentally I’m jumping like a boxer before a match. Outside I just shake my arms to loosen up and crack my neck. Luc holds up a hand to stop me, 

“First things first, you promised to tell me, what has Angel done to save the future Luna?”

With a sigh, I tell him everything I’d heard before I stormed off. His eyes glow and he turns to Johnny.

“So, I can kill him?” he asks, Johnny's eyes flicker between black and green. And for a moment he looks like he is about to let him kill Hugo on the spot. 

“Not yet, we need him to find the Luna, but he can't know that. We need him to believe that this is all about River and Sofia!”

“What's the strategy?” I no longer hide how eager I’m to get this show on the road and shake my arms again. Johnny gives us a sinister smile;

“How do you get a man full of himself to talk when he doesn't want to?" He asks us. But we both just shrugged our shoulders. Johnny grinned "You tell him he is not allowed to talk at all!”

Lucas POV 

As We are about to step into the interrogation room, John sent two warriors to bring Hugo to us. The room is quite big, with a table bolted to the floor and two chairs. Everything is this depressing concrete gray, but it's brightly lit. John takes a seat at one of the chairs looking all comfortable, I lean casually against a wall while Jake jumps up and sits down on the table. Jake picks up the phone and stares down at the screen. Alpha John and I begin to discuss the camp. He has some interesting questions about valid things, and he listens attentively as I answer. I might as well be truthful! When Hugo arrives, led by the two guards, we ignore him. The warriors are waved away by John without sparing them a glance. Hugo stands with his hands in handcuffs and looks confused for a moment that no one takes notice of him. His square face scrunches up in an annoyed expression. We continue to discuss the renovation needed to the camp's playground and the possibility of expanding the school to have a permanent classroom. Hugo gets pissed off where he stands, he huffs and snarls.

"Why am I here?"

None of us move or answer him.

"Answer me, pups!" He shouts at John, who sits cool as a cucumber and continues to talk to me effortlessly. Jacob turns his phone and shows a video clip to John that they both laugh at. Hugo boils, he snorts, and his eyes flicker. He storms forward and punches the table while shouting.

"What's the point of this?" It's obvious that he thinks his demeanor is threatening. But we aren't kidnapped, tied-up girls. 

"Shush!" says Jake "you have to wait your turn!" Then he turns to John "What should we give mum for her birthday?" Hugo snorts and slumps down on the vacant chair.

"Is the little puppy buying a birthday present for mommy dearest? Your father should have trained her better. Women should give, not receive!" he says superiorly. John looked up at him and studied him quietly.

"You mean you can get women to always give, but never demand anything for themselves?" he asks him suspiciously.

"Come on John, he's just saying that because he hated his own mother or something!" Jake laughs. But John continues to look at Hugo.

"Come on bro! You do understand that he doesn't know anything about women? He must kidnap them to even touch them!" Jake says condescendingly and returns to his phone. Hugo, who looks refreshed by John's interest, continues: "The trick is to break them down and then shape them the way you want them! A friend of mine lives happily with his wife and three children. She does everything for him! "

John says nothing but tilts his head looking interested.

"They've been married for five years now!"

"Interesting..." he mumbles learning forward.

"You're not listening to him, are you?" Jake hiss annoyed.

"Oh, so I shall I listen to you then? Where's your girlfriend, bro?" John answers coolly.

"Sure, it's your funeral!"Jake shouts and throws his arms in the air. He stands up and leaves the room swearing under his breath. I stay looking suspiciously at Hugo.

"Breaking someone, how do you do that?" I ask feeling a shiver down my spine. I'm not sure I want to know. 

Thrilled by the shown interest from both of us he leaned back like he is about to tell us a story. Relaxed he begins to share his 'wisdom'.

"The trick is to seclude them, and then take all hop from them. They need to know it's hopeless to resist, and that they are to expect pain if they do! It's easier if they are physically weak."  

"Don't the neighbor's notice, breaking someone in?"

"No, not if you live secluded! And people don't care, they don't want to create trouble so they will mind their own business. My friend, lives far away, deep into a forest. That's how he stays invisible. How else could he produce so much alcohol unnoticed? A little side business of his." He brags with a shrug. "We are men, animals. We have needs…" his eyes twinkle making me feel sick to my stomach. 

"You're an Alpha of sorts, Tobias was your pack? Why not keep the sister. Training them from a younger age? That must be more effective?" John asks, leaning forward.

"The Auroras gave me a good offer, it would have been stupid not taking it!" Hugo grins leaning forward as well. 

The smugness in his face is appalling.

"This friend of yours, is he in the same trade as you?" 

"Why you ask?" Hugo wonders.

"Well, I've got a lot of useless women in my pack. We could pick up trading them with you and your friend." John answers with a shrug, looking him right in his eyes.

"Yes, but I'm better, he byes from me sometimes! I guess we could work together to accommodate a whole pack..." Hugo thinks aloud, this seems so intriguing that he's forgotten that I'm here. John turns to me and nods affirmative, we both know enough. With the information from Tobias and what Sofia has said we should be able to find River and Mia. 

"Thank you!" John whispers menacingly "for that helpful information. Now let me give you some!" he rises to his full length and looks down at Hugo with black eyes. At the same time, the door opens and Jake returns with a big grin. His eyes pitch black.

"Lucas has been listening. But let me reintroduce Jacob Winter to you, my brother! Let's see if you can sell your ideas to him..." he leaves the room and shouts "Have fun boys!" over his shoulder. Hugo looks after John and then at us. First, he looks surprised, then angry. I'm not sure if he has realized that we fooled him or not.

“You pups have my pretty pet, do you like her?” Hugo smirks. "She misses me, doesn't she? Have you seen my handiwork?" Hugo starts laughing like a mad man. I guess he still thinks that we are interested or something. He really is dumb. Jacob walks up to him and punches him in the face, crushing his nose. The sound is music to my ears. So are his screams. 

"We are about to show you what happens to those who touch our Angel." Blue's clarification makes Hugo's blood-stained face falter.

"Our mate sends her regards!" He tells him before giving him another blow to the head. I walk up to join him cracking my knuckles, and neck. Let's educate this piece of s**t in actions and consequences. Nothing we do will come close to what he deserves.
