Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 77

ADAM.

I had spent the day with Joe. We were getting on really well. I learnt that he had no family. His father had died years ago, and his mother hadn’t survived the loss. He had a great sense of humour and made me feel at ease. I was heading up to the top floor now to have dinner with Alpha Rivers and his family. I felt slightly nervous as I knocked. The door opened, and Alpha Rivers greeted me warmly, inviting me in. After closing the door, he led me over to a big round table and gestured for me to sit.

Once seated, he began to make introductions. “Adam, I’d like you to meet my family, hopefully soon to be your family too.” He chuckled “My wife and Luna Violet My Son Jack, named after my dear brother and my daughter Emma.” He introduced them one by one. “This is my Beta Robert.” He said, pointing in the direction of the man sitting next to me. I turned to say hello. Something made me pause. He looked like my dad. There were definite similarities. He had the same brown eyes and hair, although his was slightly greyer than dad’s.

Robert grinned at me. “It’s so very nice to meet you, Adam.” He said. I couldn’t help it. I had to say something. After all, i must have been giving him an odd look “I’m sorry, it’s just that you remind me of my dad.” Alpha and Robert both started laughing. Deep belly laughs. Had I missed something? Robert looked at me “My name is Robert Morris. Peter is my younger brother.” He told me. I sat there shocked. “That means that you’re my uncle?” I asked, and he nodded “It does.” How could I not have known about him? I realised that I didn’t really know anything about dad’s childhood. A thought suddenly struck me “Hold on, I don’t understand. How can you be my dad’s brother? You are a beta, and he’s an omega?” They began laughing again. “I think we need to have a conversation.” Robert said. “Dinner first.” Luna Rivers said firmly. After dinner, Robert walked me back to my room. I invited him in, and we sat and talked for a while. Once he left, I took a quick shower and went to bed.

The next morning, I headed down for breakfast and met up with Joe. I filled him in on last night’s revelations. I didn’t know why, but even though I had only just met him, I trusted him completely. We had just finished when his eyes glazed over. Once they cleared, he told me that I was needed in the Alpha’s office. When I arrived I saw a tall, thin, grey haired man in an expensive looking black suit and a b***d red shirt, sitting on the sofa. Alpha Rivers welcomed me and told me that the man was Werewolf Council Member White.

COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE.

COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE.

I shook the hand of the young man that Alpha Rivers had introduced as Adam Morris. He sat down, and I smiled at him. “I am here to get the truth about the events surrounding your being held prisoner and also your escape. However, before we begin, we are just waiting on one more person to join us.” I explained. He nodded “Of course. I will gladly give you an honest account.” He said. I smiled, and my wolf Killian laughed in my head. We found it amusing when anyone said this to us. As if they had a choice. Our special gift is truth. I can command the truth from anyone that I want. Except the council leader. None of our gifts work on him.

ADAM.

I found his smile a little unsettling. An awkward silence hung in the air until a knock on the door broke it. Alpha Rivers called for whoever it was to enter, and the door swung open, revealing a beautiful woman. She wore a long black dress that clung to her curvy figure just right. Her fiery red hair fell just below her waist. Her skin was like porcelain, and her eyes looked like they were on fire. She walked over and sat next to council member White on the sofa. “This is Ruby. She is here on behalf of the supernatural court. She will be joining the investigation due to the involvement of witches. The werewolf council has no jurisdiction over witches.” He explained. I nodded my understanding and greeted her. She gave a polite nod but said nothing.

I was told to begin my account. Just start at the beginning and leave nothing out. No matter how trivial or unrelated, I believed it to be. I nodded but decided that there were a few things that I would definitely leave out. Like Amber being a silver wolf, or the fact that I hadn’t instantly reported Chris’s abduction to the council rather than just telling my sister for example. However, once i opened my mouth, i didn’t seem to be able to control what came out of it. I looked at Ruby. Was she somehow doing this with magic? It didn’t seem like she was doing anything. I looked at council member White, and he looked focused. It was him! I had heard that the council had abilities but had never actually met a member before. I couldn’t help myself, I told them everything. All three of the people in the room gasped when I told them what Amber was.

When I was done and had told them everything that I knew, they thanked me. I stood up, feeling a little unsteady. This was the second time that someone had used their abilities to force me to betray Amber’s secret. I was mad at myself for it, even though I knew that it was out of my control. Council member White dismissed me, but before I left, I turned to Alpha Rivers. He looked uncomfortable with what had happened. I was glad to see that he wasn’t unbothered by it. “Now that I’ve given my statement. May I leave for Lakeside, please?” I asked. “Of course you can. Adam, you are our guest, not our prisoner.” He told me. I felt myself relax. “Let Joe know that you are ready, and he will accompany you on the journey. Please have him stop by my office before you leave. I would very much like to send a letter with him for my niece.” I told him that I would and thanked him for the kindness and hospitality that he had shown.

COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE.

I had got everything that I needed from the boy. Plus, a whole lot more. So Amber was the daughter of the late Alpha and Luna Rivers of Lakeside and a silver wolf. The council leader would definitely want to know about that. I turned to Ruby “Well my dear, that was quite informative. Who would you like to question next? The witch in the cells or the boy in the hospital?” I asked. She thought for a moment. “The other boy will likely have a similar story, so let’s get that over with. We will leave the witch until last.” She stated. I nodded my agreement, and we made our way over to the pack hospital.
