thirty two
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me for taking fucking ages to update. Just been going through some shit and been a bit preoccupied updating my other books for my other fandoms (different acc).
I know this is a short chapter but I will be updating again really soon and I actually mean that. I've been feeling really insecure about this book but a lot of you have reassured me that you love it so hence the update. Thank you for 68K, I am so thankful. Anyway, enjoy my loves xx
"Is he in there?" Harry questioned looking at one of the men that was standing near the meeting room of the Pack House. Louis couldn't help but admire Harry. Even though, the hunter had been raised to hate werewolves and any type of supernatural creature, he couldn't help but feel proud of the way Harry was maturing and stepping up to the plate for the title he would be given sometime soon.
Louis knew enough to know the importance of the Pack Alpha and how the ranks of werewolf packs worked. If their Alpha was weak, whether it be physically or mentally, as was the other members of the Pack.
"Yes, sir," The man answered shooting a glare at Louis but dropped when he saw Harry give him a dirty look. The man quickly opened the doors to allow them into the room before closing the door behind them.
The Pack Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack was seated, his Beta and Luna at his side. The young wolf, Caleb that they had captured and released to get the Alpha there was present too. Louis didn't blame the Alpha from wanting his second in command and mate close-by. Bloodmoon had a bad reputation, even Louis had heard the stories of the unnecessary bloodshed that Harry's father would unleash.
"Alpha Harry," The Crescent Moon leader greeted with a nod. Harry sat down on a chair sitting opposite of the other wolves. Louis immediately made his way into the seat next to Harry whilst Zayn remained standing, directly behind Louis.
"I'm not Alpha yet," Harry pointed out before glancing at Caleb, "Thank you for allowing Caleb to bring you here today to talk about matters."
"We want no trouble, just passage through your territory so that we can be on our way," The Alpha, who Harry knew as Aaron informed. He held the almost the same amount of dominance that Harry did but Louis could tell that he was holding back, probably since he was in another Pack's territory.
"You see that is the issue that we have. You have been in that territory for nearly over 300 years. That's where your children were born, where your ancestors power are. Why are you so anxious to leave?"
"That is not of your concern," Aaron snapped making Harry growl under his breathe.
"Not of my concern? You're wanting my permission to leave your territory that has been passed down your family for three centuries and you have the nerve to tell me that its not my concern?" Harry snapped darkly causing a shiver to run down Louis' spine at the Alpha's tone. Calm yourself, Louis.
"Aaron, my darling, please just tell him," The Luna begged. Her husband just stared at her before sighing and nodding his head. The Luna gave him a sad smile, moving her hand to rest on his on the table.
"There's this darkness coming, none like we have never seen before. It brings sickness, it brings corruption and death. It's coming here. I need to protect my Pack, my loved ones. Where that darkness goes, hunters and more follow it," Aaron admitted causing Harry to frown at Louis whose eyes were now wide. Camilla's vision of death coming to mind, she had seen this darkness coming. Louis knew that they were not lying.
"How do we stop it?" Harry questioned. His hand sneakily went under the table to place reassuringly on Louis' knee in attempt to calm the hunter down. Louis appreciated the gesture greatly, his body untensing as much as it could in the situation at hand.
"You can't," The Crescent Moon leader told them, "It's too powerful and it's getting closer each day. It turns people dark and unjust causing them to kill their loved ones like rabid beasts. It's pure darkness."
"How do we know this is true?" Zayn finally spoke up.
"Because it's already started. Strange murders and deaths have been becoming a frequent problem in our Pack. Throats slashed open with strange markings on their bodies. Some of my wolves had to be taken to the dungeons when they become uncharacteristically violent," Aaron explained with a sigh when he thought back to his Pack.
Harry's eyes widened at Aaron's words. Strange murders and deaths. Throats being slashed. Wolves becoming violent for no reason. It all made sense, especially the spike of Rogue attacks. They were being affected by this... thing.
"Did the bodies have strange markings like he said?" Louis whispered to Harry, though he knew that there was no use in whispering. All the wolves could hear him anyway with their super hearing.
"The deaths are happening here too, aren't they?"
Harry gave him a short nod with a sigh, tightening his grip on Louis' knee. Louis appreciated the comfort that the Alpha was trying to give him, but the hunter was beginning to think that it was also for Harry's comfort that he was doing it.
"I shall grant you safe passage through," Harry stated quietly. The Alpha was shaken with the news, not knowing how to react or really believe what he had just heard. Harry knew of Camilla's vision and was just silently hoping it was one big mistake. Though, he knew it wasn't. Now that he had heard what he had, it all clicked into place. It all made sense.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Aaron breathed out in relief as he, his wife and companions stood to their feet. The Luna gave Louis a soft smile when she made eye contact with him.
The members of the Crescent Moon Pack began to head for the door but before they left, Aaron turned to Harry, "If I was you, I would run too. It's not just that darkness you need to worry about. Hunters by the name of the Winchesters are here already. They're not the type to mess about."
And with that, they were gone.
"Winchesters?" Louis raised his eyebrows in confusion. Harry's head snapped to him.
"You know them?" Harry wondered curiously. There was so much new information being unloaded to him right now, so many different thoughts running through his head.
"They're family friends of my father's," Louis said quietly before standing to his feet to turn and look the Alpha directly in the eyes, "If anyone knows how to stop this darkness, it's them. They've been through hell and back, quite literally. I bet my mother called them."
Harry sighed before running his hand through his hair, completely stressed, "I never thought I would say this."
"Say what?" Zayn inquired tilting his head to the side in confusion. Harry sighed once more.
"We're going to have to talk to the Silencers and work with them. It's our only hope."
Question: What do you think of the darkness? And what do you think of Harry's idea to work with the Silencers?
Let me know what you think :))
