A Girl Adopted By Wolves (Three book set)
Chapter 14- Cassidy

"So how about you take me there?” I asked the twins.

They looked a little dazed for a couple seconds and then nodded. They must be talking in the mindlink. Well I get to go to this cabin and meet those infamous spirits.

“Just a heads up though. I don't know how alpha Hercules will react upon seeing you two or any ofus. He doesn't like to meet any of us but Amara. I mean she is his daughter after all.” Carter stated.“Alpha Ryder is no different. He is a little overboard than his father to say the least. They might tearyou to pieces if they think you pose any threat to Amara or the pack. So don't do or say anythingstupid.”

“Those Alphas live at the cabin?” I asked.

Can they be the spirits? But that can’t be. I have never heard of spirit Alpha wolves or were they wellhidden? I mean I couldn't see them for the start. More of just a feeling that they were there. Wellthere is only one way to replace out.

“Not exactly at the cabin but if anyone need to replace them they can meet them there.” Caleb repliednervously.

They are hiding something. I can't exactly read their mind at the moment. It will sound as atreachery and these furry people don't exactly like it when people pry in their minds.

"Okay let's go then.” I said getting up.

Grayson followed suit.

“Alec you should stay here.” Caleb said to Alec. “You won't like it there. It is way far inside the jungleand the Alphas are not really a cheery lot. There is that vampire problem as well.”

Ahh they must be mates. How adorable. How much of a secret can this be that they didn't even telltheir own mates? And Vampire problem? What does he mean by that? I can ask him later once weare through the situation in hand.

“No way. I am coming with you guys. I have never seen the cabin before and if this is going to savemy sister, I want in.” Alec argued.

"Alec don't argue please.” Caleb said sighing.

"You can take a complete stranger over there but not your own boyfriend?” Oh my! Someone'splaying the emotional card. “Besides it's my sister here we are talking about. I won't take no for ananswer."

With that being said, he pulled on his jacket and wrenched open the front door. I couldn't stopmyself from laughing at the exaggerated funny face Caleb was making at his mate. I followed afterAlec. The others joined us as well. Caleb a little reluctantly. I can see him struggle internally aboutbodily dumping Alec inside the house and locking the door afterwards. They are really cutetogether. Carter on the other hand seemed to be sulking a little and giving those two a jealous look."Did you not replace your mate?” Grayson asked him while we exited the apartment complex.

“I did. He is in Berkley. Aaron. Amara’s roommate.” He replied blushing a little. “I was wondering...you know... why he didn’t come with you guys? I mean Amara and him are best friends. Looking ather condition, he shouldn't have left her alone, that too... no offense... with complete strangers. Imean she is our alpha as well.”

Again Amara being an Alpha? That can't be possible.

“He said he was busy with school work and job. He was barely there when Amara was unconscious. Ithought they might have had some sort of disagreement or something. He didn't seem very fusedabout her being sick other than the day we found her knocked out.” I replied. “Has this happenedbefore? Her being in coma I mean for long time? What do you mean by her being your Alpha?”

By now we were already a good measure inside the forest. It is unusually dense though like trying tobury its secrets inside it. Caleb is leading the way with Alec firmly fixed to his side and Grayson iswalking ahead of me with Carter and I bringing the rear.

“Well yeah. A couple times actually. It usually happens when she heals someone.” Carter repliednonchalantly and then his eyes widened like he has said something forbidden. Caleb stopped in histracks and then resumed walking at a fast pace. Huh! “Shit! The Alphas are going to kill me.” hemuttered under his breath but me being very close to him, heard him loud and clear.

Healing? Is that even possible? We witches can heal as well but with potions and spells. But I don’tthink Amara has access to such stuff. Is she a witch? No. I could have felt it. Then how? Carter seemsto have slipped the information on mistake. The girl is turning more mysterious every passingsecond.

"Healing? Can she cast spells or something?” I asked him.

“Umm... I can't tell you more on this. We are forbidden to talk about it by our Alpha and to answeryour question, no she can't cast a spell.” Carter said with finality.

"And what about her being your Alpha?” I changed the subject.

“Well she is Alpha Hercules's adopted daughter. That makes her Alpha Ryder and in a way AlphaLeorio’s sister which I won't be telling you how. She possess the power on an Alpha that is. I felt itonce when she was yelling at Alpha Leorio. We found it a little strange at first but after meetingAlpha Hercules we understood a little about it.”

I don't think he will say anything more about it. I would have to replace out about it myself. A healer.That too without spells. Interesting. From what I can sum up, Amara can heal people withoutanything we witches do to heal people and she faints every time she does that. Is she using her ownenergy to heal them? But a human will probably die from it or will be left in very poor health. Sheseemed to be in perfect health when I met her the first time though. What am I missing? What kindof source is she using to do the healing process? She will need a source to do that right. That part Ican be firm on. But off course. Can it be? No. But it's just a myth. They don't exist. The last onevanished almost two thousand years ago. There hasn't been the trace of them since. No. That can'tbe. I am just working myself up on some far fetched myth. There is no proof of them ever existing.Well I will have to talk to her parents off course.

The twins quickened their pace to a sprint, leaving us behind after an hour of walking in the woods.Caleb left his mate behind? This must be really serious. The scent of wet earth was lingering in theair. A river or a stream. Alec, Grayson and I too started running after them as fast as we can. Theyare werewolf after all. Forest is their home. After running for fifteen minutes or so, a clearing wasvisible from the distance. At that moment, I knew why the twins had started running. A bloodcurling scream was coming from the clearing. The twins were standing a little inside the clearing.Not too ahead of the edge looking at a writhing and screaming Amara on the floor. But there wassomeone else too. Someone I couldn't see but only feel and made the hair on my neck stand up inthe emotion I have not felt since years. Fear.
