“Victor?” Rylee called out. I turned on the light that hovered over his cell, and surprisingly, he was awake and sitting on the bed his back against the wall. “I brought you some dinner,” she said. Angelo unlocked the cell, and Rylee and I went inside. “I’m not hungry,”
“Victor, I can hear your stomach growling. I promise, the food is safe to eat,” Rylee said sweetly and sat next to him. He looked at her funny and then down at the food that was still steaming. “It’s okay,” she said to him and placed the tray on his lap. Victor gave in and ate the food. She opened the bottle of water for him and he took it. Rylee just smiled as he ate all of the food. When he was done, Rylee took the empty tray and handed it to Angelo.
“Why are you being nice to me?” Victor asked.
“Because we want to help you,” I answered. He looked at me and furrowed his brows. He tried to sit up a little more, but I could tell that he was still in pain. He was going to be for at least a few weeks with his injuries, especially with him being human. “Why?”
“Victor, I’m going to tell you everything, and it’s going to sound like a bunch of bullshit to you, but I promise, I’m going to be 100% truthful, and so will Rylee. What I need is for you to keep an open mind and not to get upset. Can you do that?” he looked at me a minute and nodded his head. Rylee came back to me, and we sat on two chairs in front of him. “Victor, Rylee and I are werewolves,” I tell him, and his eyes widen. “I’m the Alpha, and Rylee is my Luna, the Alpha female. She is my mate, a soul mate if you will. We run this pack together,” Victor’s eyes just blink really fast as he tries to take this information in.
“Victor, we believe that you were kidnapped by someone or something, and they performed some kind of dark magic on and gave you some kind of potion that contained a mixture of wolf DNA, canine parvovirus, rabies, and steroids,” Rylee said trying to repeat everything Dr. Andrews said. “It turned you into a werewolf, but only temporarily, it’s how you ended up here. You and a bunch of others who we believe were also humans that were kidnapped attacked our land. Most of them were killed, but a few of the survivors ran away, and you were captured,” “We also think that whoever is behind his didn’t expect you to make out of this alive, or at least not get captured by us alive. We found a bunch of news articles about you and missing person reports. Your parents even went on T.V.,” I tell him.
“Release me then, I’m alive, aren’t I? Let me go home!” Victor shouted forcing himself to sit up straight.
“We can’t,” I reply and he looks at me with daggers in his eyes.
“Why the hell not!?”
“Because they think you’re dead,” Rylee answered. “They held a funeral for you and for Gina,”
“What?”
“Gina didn’t make it. I’m so sorry,” Rylee said extending her hand and grabbing his. “Your bodies were found a few days after your parents were on T.V. Whoever did this, didn’t want people to look for you,”
“But I’m alive, how did they bury a body if I’m right here!?”
“According to the news, your body wasn’t identifiable, so they used dental records; however, Gina’s body was intact. We think that whoever provided the dental records to the police doctored your records to prove your death so no one would ask questions. You see, we can’t let you go home, not yet. We need to figure out who is doing this, and why they’re doing it. You’re a victim Victor, and we want to help you get justice for what happened to you, and for what happened to Gina. But also for those who didn’t get to make it,” “What do mean by that?”
“You’re not the only one Victor, we found over a hundred missing persons that are just like you. Young, affluential, and healthy. Both male and female,” I answer “Wait, so, all of those bodies I saw before passing out, they were once all human?”
“We think so,” I reply. “Unfortunately, we didn’t know any of this until we brought you down here. You’re helping us without even realizing it,”
“So, what, are you guys going to turn me into some kind of experiment?”
“No, we would never do that. We’re going to help you get healthy again, and we’re going to give you sanctuary within our pack until we can figure everything you,” “How do you plan on giving me sanctuary?”
“There are over 800 werewolves within our pack, and they all answer to me and Rylee. You will be under our protection, and our word is the law in this pack. You will not be harmed, and you will be treated as a human being. I’m going to have you moved to a hospital room within our castle in the morning so you can rest more comfortably and under the watch of our pack doctor,”
“This is too much; you’re telling me that I’m safe in a pack of 800 werewolves!? How do I know you all won’t eat me!?”
“Because unlike the s**t you see on T.V. and in movies, werewolves don’t eat humans or drink their blood. We eat as humans do, we eat regular food, and live amongst humans everywhere. Are you from Detroit?” “I am,”
“Have you heard of Valencia Architecture?”
“I have,”
“That’s my company, I’m Wyatt Valencia, the president, and CEO,” his eyes when I said that protruded out of his head. “As I said, werewolves and other supernatural beings live amongst humans naturally. Some have normal nine to five jobs, and some just stay at home and work here within the pack territory. Some of the pack members work at my company, but I also employ humans, a few witches and wizards, and my graveyard security have a few vampires, the not so evil kind that feed on the blood of animals and not humans,”
“This is crazy, this is absolutely insane! You’re telling me that supernaturals actually exist!?!” Victor all but shouted in our faces.
“I can show you if you’re still having trouble believing me,” I tell him. I stand up from my chair and remove my clothes. I shift into Blade into and tower over Victor who looks like he’s about to s**t himself.
“Don’t be scared,” Rylee says and pets Blade’s big snout. “This is Blade, he is Wyatt’s wolf. He’s large because he’s the Alpha, and unless he’s fighting in a battle or sparring during morning training, he’s just a big puppy,” Rylee says. Blade huffs at her remark, and she just nuzzles his neck. “How the hell are you not afraid of him!?” Victor exclaims.
“Remember how Wyatt said that I was his mate?” Victor nods, “Well, it works with our wolf counterparts as well. You see, our wolves are their own separate souls that share a body with us. They can speak to us, in our minds, and when we let them take control. Their subconscious can take control of our body, or we can shift into our wolf form. Wyatt is my human mate, and Blade is my wolf mate. Blade loves me as much as Wyatt does, and he is protective of me as much as Wyatt is. Hurting me in any kind of way, whether it’s physical or emotional hurts him, so he would never do that, at least not on purpose,” Rylee explains with a smile. Blade nudges his head and lays down at her feet.
“So, can you shift into a wolf too?”
“I can, but my wolf is a litter different. She’s smaller, and she’s actually pink,”
“What!?”
“I’m a special wolf Victor,”
“What do you mean by special?”
“I’m not allowed to talk it with non-pack members, it’s actually for my safety and the safety of the pack,”
“Okay?”
“I know this is a lot to handle, but Wyatt and I wanted to be honest with you since you were honest with us, or at least you were honest in your own way. We just ask that if you ever do get to go home to your family, you can’t tell anyone about us. Humans are not supposed to know about werewolves unless they are mated to one,”
“Mated to one? Are you saying that humans and werewolves can actually date?”
“Date is more of a human thing. Like Wyatt said, a wolf’s mate is like their soul mate. We feel drawn to them, and fall in love almost instantly. There is a bond that forms between them, and most wolves cannot live without their mate. They love each other wholeheartedly and they’re together until one of them dies. Even then, the bond can be so strong that the surviving mate will commit suicide,”
“How does it work for a human?”
“My understanding is that the bond is there, but wolf will feel it more. The human will feel after they have s*x for the first time,”
“So, are you born a werewolf?”
“Yes and no. You see, depending on what part of the world a werewolf lives in will determine when they gain their wolf. We’re born just like humans, but we don’t gain our wolf counterpart until we are eighteen, at least for werewolves that live in this part of the United States. I know of some packs where some gain their wolf as early as thirteen, and other parts of the world, as late as 21,”
