Chapter 78
(Jackson)
Isla?
Hi, how is everything going? Is the warrior okay?
I think he will be fine, the witch is still unconscious so were waiting for Jim to finish up and then we can head down there Okay, you know where to find me when you're done.
I love you
I love you too, Jackson
I guess I could catch up on some work while I waited. As soon as I sit in my chair there's a knock at the door and Cam comes in.
“I thought I told you to get some rest.”
“Was that an order, Alpha?” He jokes, “I can’t rest until this is over with, I want to question her already.”
“Me too, I think this might answer a lot of our questions. Hopefully he doesn't know any more dark witches.”
“I don't know any. How many could there even be?”
“I honestly have no idea”
Alpha? I'm ready to head down when you are.
We will meet you out back in five. Bring heavy sedatives.
Noted, see you in five.
“The doctor is ready.” Cam's eyes light up and he jumps out of his chair,
“Let's do it”
jim is already out back waiting for us with a black bag in hand.
“I'll carry that for you, Doctor”
“Thanks, Gamma.” He turns to me, “What state is she in?"
“still unconscious I think, no one has linked us about any changes, she lost a lot of blood.” Jim nods,
“As long as she’s alive I'll be able to do something, should be at least”
“Thank you, Doctor” I say. We reach her holding cell, our men are attentively watching her.
“No movement, at all, Gamma." Cam nods.
“Doctor?”
jim walks in and we follow him, he gets close to her face and studies her breathing.
“We'll she’s still alive, but only barely” He moves to her makeshift bandaged wound and uncovers her.
“This is deep. Cam, hand me my bag please.” He injects a clear liquid into her arm before getting started.
She doesn't move the entire time he's working on her, for over an hour. I wasn't sure if it was because of whatever he injected her with or because she was unconscious from the bite.
“she’s going to be okay, but pretty mad when she wakes up.” Jim says, wiping his hands, “I have to admit I don't have muc experience dealing with witches so I'm not sure how long it will take her to heal, but she's stable.”
“Thank you, Doctor” I say,
“You'll need to find her some new clothes, hers are soiled completely, and I would like to check on her tomorrow”
“That can be arranged.” Cam says, “Just let me know when and I can escort you.” Jim nods,
“I think she will be awake in a few hours, well the sedative will have worn off at least, I don't know how long she might be unconscious for”
cam instructs one of his men to find her clothes, “The rest of you can get some rest, thanks for your work today.” He turn: to the guard, “Have someone come down here and watch her once she's dressed, and we will lock up” He nods and leave This was one of the cells that has two locks on it, one of the locks has a key than only Cam, Lucas, and I have. Once she's changed into a clean dress, we lock both of the locks.
“Make sure that when she’s woken up the Gamma and I know immediately” I say to the guard that's taken over.
“Yes, Alpha, Gamma." He nods.
“Now we wait." I say,
“Again” Cam adds.
“One more time,” I get up.
“l am exhausted, Jackson, let's call in one of Cam's warriors.” Lucas complains, we've been sparring all morning.
“Once more, I'm tired too, but this is when I need to practice.” He rolls his eyes but gets back into position in front of me. Alpha? She's awake.
“Damn, saved by the bell, looks like our friend is awake."
Lucas looks relieved, “I've never been so excited for a witch to wake up before.” He jokes,
“Honestly, neither have I” I take a large drink of water, “You coming?”
“I wouldn't miss this” Cam is already waiting for us outside the dungeon door for us.
“I didn’t want you two to miss the fun,” He says.
“Always the gentleman,” Lucas responds, “shall we?"
“Alpha, Beta, Gamma.” The warrior greets us, “She just woke up, she's asking for Alpha Benjamin, but that's all she would say.”
“Thank you” I turn to the witch sitting disoriented on the bed, she meets my eyes and glares are me,
“Who the hell are you?"
“am Alpha Jackson of the Moonstone pack.” I emphasized.
She looks confused, “There is some kind of mistake, I'm under Alpha Benjamins protection.”
“Not anymore.” Cam states.
She looks between us, “Are all the men here this yummy? * She plays with a strand of her hair with her arm thats not bandaged, “Because if they are I might just have to stay."
“You don't really have a choice,” Lucas points out.
“Tell me what you want from me, I can make anything for you, but I'll need ingredients, and a work space, this place does seem to like my magic” She winces as she moves her bad arm, “And my freedom, of course. I was in the middle of something and I hate to leave so soon, but I'm afraid it's urgent.”
“We want answers, that's it. We don't dabble in dark magic here, I'm assuming you're a dark witch?” Cam asks.
“You've assumed correctly, dog” Her demeanor changes completely.
“What is your relationship to Alpha Benjamin? How long have you known him?” Cam goes on.
“Awhile”
“Have you created anything for him?”
She shrugs,
“Why were you at Silver Moon yesterday?”
“Yesterday,” She repeats, Cam nods.
“Why were you there?”
“I wasn't, I was just in the woods taking a stroll, lovely forest out there.” She smiles widely at Cam.
“How do you know Alpha Benjamin?”
“How does anyone meet?” I roll my eyes, so she was going to be that kind of person.
“We're playing nice right now, but we will get answers out of you one way or another.” Cam states cooly. Her eyes widen. “You wouldn't dare.”
“We would dare actually, there are a lot of ways to get someone like you to talk. 'm giving you the easy way out” She crosses her arms and turns to the wall.
“You have two hours to decide.”
