Alpha King's Witch Mate

Aftermath

Maddie’s POV:

I tossed and turned all night after Rowan and Harry left the room and the sun was rising slowly, clearing the clouds. I don't know where we are going to go from here and what exactly is happening around me.

Everything seems so suspicious and new to me. I have lived a sheltered life in the coven that I am having a hard time trusting.

What if Rowan and Harry have an ulterior motive and they want to use me for something evil! They don't feel evil or bad people but still I want to be wary of everyone.

I rose from my sleeping position yawning and stretching my stiff limbs and I walked towards the bathroom to get ready for the day.

After brushing and taking a hot shower and walked out of the room. Rowan and Harry are already up and they are sitting at the dining table, coffee cups in front them.

“ Good morning.” I greeted, skipping Rowan’s eyes I went straight to the coffee machine to get some coffee.

“ How did you sleep?” Harry asked, concern evident in his tone. He thinks I was spooked about those rotten creatures but he doesn't know that I lived with rotten people all my life.

“Slept Like a baby.” I winked at him, attempting a joke and he chuckled. Rowan just scoffed, making me roll my eyes at his hot and cold behaviour.

“ So, what's the plan today?” I asked, sitting opposite Harry and across Rowan as I took a sip of the hot coffee, calming my nerves.

I haven't asked them about their pack and background yet and seeing Rowan’s cold behaviour and his temper I don't think now is the time to breach the topic.

“ We need to leave this cabin first and then we will think on the way to our next destination what we have to do.” I don't really know what their purpose is and I want to know so I can see how my purpose will fit into theirs.

Attracted to Rowan doesn't mean I will forget about Charlie. I will find him and see with my own eyes that he is alive and safe.

“ Where is this destination?” I asked, taking another sip of the coffee. There are so many questions lingering in my head and are on the tip of my tongue but i held them back.

“ There is a human village up north. Rowan here knows someone there.” Harry answers, Rowan is still scowling and not acknowledging me directly.

“ Okay.” I finished my coffee and went back to my room to get the pair of clothes which were in the closet. By the time I have finished someone knocked on the door and i know that it is Harry because Rowan doesn't have any decency to knock instead he will just barge.

“ Come in, Harry.” I called out as I turned towards the door waiting for him to come inside.

“ Are you ready?” He asked, looking around the room.

“ Yep, I don't have much to take.” I hiked up the small bag on my shoulder and he gestured me out where Rowan is waiting for us with a small bag on his shoulder too.

Three of us walked out of the cabin and the smell of burned flesh and trees assaulted my nostrils as soon as I stepped outside. I covered my nose so as not to inhale the rotten smell and vomit the coffee all over my shoes.

My eyes widened at the sight before me. Most of the trees are burned down and there are lumps of flesh on the ground. Seeing them made my insides churn and I gulped down the bile raising in my throat.

“ Woah! What the hell!” Harry wondered, his wide eyes examining the surroundings.

“ Our witch here did this.” This is the first sentence Rowan talked since the morning and that too, to Mock me.

“ Shut up!” I growled, making his smirk wide. I hate it when he mocks and thinks he is the god. I want to slap that smirk out of his face.

“ This is the first time I have used my magic like this and I didn't know the results either.” I clarified, not looking at them but around the burned forest.

“ Whatever you did Maddie, it's great. I wish I would have seen these fuckers getting burned. These creepy fuckers were pain in the ass ever since.” Harry growled, this is the first time I have seen him this angry and his wolf shining through his eyes.

Werewolves always intrigued me and I always wanted to see them shift into their animal form and how they lead their lives with both personalities. I was so curious and i always had so many questions with me for Chalres but he never answered me rather he always changed the subject.

“ Since when did they start?” I asked, pointing towards the creatures. They should answer this question at least. If iam going to be part of their mission then I need to know things.

“ No one knows exactly when they start appearing and how they are appearing out of thin air. No one knows their origin nor creator.” This time Rowan answered. He is shaking with anger.

“ Creator? Are they not any particular species? Supernatural beings?” I asked, more and more intrigued and curious about them.

“ Nope, they are hybrid. Someone is turning them into these ugly ass killing machines.” Harry answered.

“ Killing machines? But why?” There has to be a goal or a motive behind this. If someone is turning people or other species into these creatures then they have a motive behind this but who knows what their goal is!

“ We don't know who is behind this fuckery but when I find them then I will skin them alive and make them eat themselves.” Rowan's threat filled with rage and anger. He seems so affected by this but why?

Why does he want to find the source of this! What exactly is he looking for?

“ My head is spinning with all the questions.” I murmur as I follow the men in the direction of the woods which are not burned. No one asked me to help with my questions rather spend the journey in silence.

I don't know where we are going nor how much of our journey we have finished but the sun was setting and my stomach was growling in hunger. If we don't stop to have a bite and take some rest then I will just die of hunger and tiredness.
