Chapter 11 The mystery begins
910 Words
Twenty minutes have passed since the boys went to get Caroline and they have yet to return to the party. Alpha Rodger links them as heading in their direction. He asks," What's the hold-up everyone is waiting?"
Father, you need to send the guests home with our sincerest apologies, and then you and Mother need to come to the pack house ASAP.
Stopping in his tracks, Alpha Rodger's mind links Luna Margret to end the party right now and offer their apologies.
Rodger!, Margret demands," What is wrong? Why am I sending our guest home early before the announcement?"
I am trying to figure that out myself. I will inform you of the situation when I have more information.
After seeing that the last guest is gone, Margret quickly and efficiently heads to Caroline's room only to find the twins in wolf form and Rodger is as white as a sheet.
"Rodger," Margret cries out, " What is going on here? Why are the boys in wolf form? Rodger? Hey Rodger, snap out of it!"
With no response from Rodger, Margret mind links with Gabriel and Blue, the twins' wolves. " would somebody anybody explain to me what is going on here and where is Caroline?"
Have a seat Mother, Gabe says as he nuzzles his head against her arm.
You both know that it is against pack policy to be in wolf form while in the packhouse unless there is imminent danger. Oh Goddess, Margret cries out, "What have I done? Caroline!"
This is not about you Mother. Take a deep breath in and tell us what you smell.
Margret does as instructed taking in a deep breath and then another. "That is strange," she says. "I don't smell anything but us. I should smell Caroline as this is her room but it is like it has been sanitized to hide her existence. "
We as well. That is why we transformed inside the packhouse. We needed to see if we would be able to pick up her scent.
That is why we asked if you could smell anything. You after all have the most powerful sniffer in the pack.
This could only mean one thing.... WITCH CRAFT...!
Witchcraft hasn't been seen in a wolf pack in over a hundred years. Why would they be messing with us now after all this time of peace between the wolves and witches, ask Margret.
I do not know Mother but it is here and now. Just look at Father, he has been in that trance since the moment that he stepped foot in Caroline's room. Why it hasn't affected us is anyone's guess. Why would they take Caroline though? She has not hurt a soul in her life.
Guilt starts to set in, Nathan says, to no one in particular, " If we only come sooner. We would have been able to save her from this."
Andrew/Gabe says," We were feeling her emotions during the party. I chalked it up to her being anxious about what happened between Vixen and us in the woods."
Talk about the male ego, sheesh. Margret tells Gabriel and Blue that she would like to speak to the twins. Go to their room before your shift so that they can dress before we speak. Margret gives each of them a little nuzzle before they head out the door.
First things first. Right then Rodger let's get you somewhere more comfortable. As you lead Rodger through the doorway the spell breaks.
What the..., how did I get out here?
Margret asks him," What is the last thing that you remember?"
Alpha replies, " Well, hmm, OK. I left the party to go to find Gabriel and Blue. They said that there was something I needed to see and the next thing is standing here in the hallway with you."
We need to call a pack meeting with the warriors. Tell just the squad leaders to meet us in the war room.
Rodger sends out a pack link to the Beta, Zeta, Etas, Epsilon, and even Theta, the pack doctor as well as the warrior squad leaders.
In just a matter of minutes, everyone was gathered around the table in the war room. The room is aptly named as it held memorabilia from all of the pack wars through the centuries and even a few from the human great wars. Glass cabinets hung on the walls were filled with the secrets of the past.
One thing from the past in the room makes one wonder about the ancestors. The large round solid oak table has long been rumored to be the actual round table of King Arthur himself. A noble ruler of the wolves if there ever was one. Yes, King Arthur was a werewolf ( not exactly proven, but pretty darn close.)
#interruption to my writing.
I just want to thank everyone who has begun reading my story. I am hoping that I have not made too many mistakes that interrupt the flow of the story. Please feel free to let me know what you think you think of my story so far. This is my very first try at writing so please do not be hateful while you are trying to be helpful. It is really hard trying to come up with 1000 words just in one episode. like now I am only at word number #901.
