Chapter 12

The wolf Den

Truth be told, I didn't trust that old man one bit even if he was truly related. Sure everything he said made sense but still, why would he want to help me? He doesn't owe me anything and I doubt he even saw me much when I was around. Either way, if he had any information on anything then I didn't care what happened to him. If my mother was still alive then I couldn't kill her even if she did take my memories. I need to find her as soon as possible and sit down and have a long talk. I also needed her to give me memories back once I'm done with her. Only she can give them back to me.

We began walking towards his house in the hard rain but I actually enjoyed it. Rain sometimes can seem peaceful and it helped me think for some weird reason. The city was pretty lively for this kind of weather. Traffic seemed to be at an all time high and the winds were pretty strong. Newspapers flew by, honking from cars, the sound of the rain hitting the concrete, thunder flashing here and there. This was a loud city to any regular person but it didn't seem that way to me. I can cancel out noise without even thinking about it. Maybe it was part of being a wolf or just a talent. This city just seemed high spirited and lively but it almost felt like it had this dark secret to it that I could not put my finger on. It made me nervous at the same time as feeling peaceful . My mind started to wander as I got a punch to the left shoulder that felt like a cinder block shot out of a cannon and I was launched to my right. I thought my shoulder was broken or dislocated as I stumbled onto the concrete and I didn't even know what just happened. Then I heard...

"Hey idiot! Are you even listening to me!" yelled my grandpa

I was knelling on the ground with my right hand on my left shoulder. Did he punch me? My shoulder felt like hell and this geezer is that strong?

"Did you hit me?!" I yelled still kneeling

"Of course I did. Jeez you can't even take a punch you sissy." He said laughing

I suddenly had a urge to kill this old man. He's not even supernatural as far as I know and he can hit hard enough to actually hurt me? What's up with him?

"How did you do that? You punched almost as hard as I can." I asked picking myself up

"As a matter of fact I can punch harder than you can." he said confidently

We continued walking and I laughed at what he said.

"I'll admit that was a impressive blow, but I can hit harder for sure." I said cracking a smile

"We'll see." he said

The rest of the walk to his home was pretty quiet. Neither of us said a word as I'm sure if we did some smack talk would be happening. We walked for about forty minutes when we pulled up into a suburban 1950s house, it was almost isolated from the rest of the community and I think he liked it that way. His lawn looked very clean so he must have mowed it every now and then. His house was mostly yellow and had one story. He had a yellow chimney, a red door, a few windows and a side door. His backyard seemed to be a forest as I can hear the footsteps and sounds of many creatures. We walked up to his front door and I was about to open it when I felt a force that felt like impenetrable gel. Mountain ash. He hesitated and he turned and said.

"Listen there are some rules if you are going to stay here that you have to follow or next time it won't be your shoulder I punch so listen up. Make a mess you clean it, feel free to eat what you want from the fridge but leave some for me. If you get in trouble with anybody without me being involved, you are not allowed back until you solve it. Don't ever go in my room, You got that?" he asked

The rules seemed pretty simple to me, but the tone he said it in made me feel like he was really serious about all he said. Especially about if I get into trouble. I knew that I would get into trouble, I knew that coming here looking for answers would not go smoothly, but I knew that and came here anyway. Was I stupid or just brave?

"Deal." I said

He gave me a tour of his house as he opened the door. It was pretty basic, nothing too fancy or luxurious. He had a few paintings here and there of some nature images, he had only two rooms, one was a guest room and the other way his which I can't go in but he let me see it for a second. His house was somewhat small but he lived alone so no reason to be large house. After his quick and brief tour we sat down across each other at his dinning table as I put my very valuable jacket next to the front door and pulled up a chair and sat down across from him.

"Okay so I am going to say what you are probably wondering and if you have any questions at the end then you can ask. So Crow is pretty much an alpha but his real name is World, he has complete control of this city. He has a lethal pack of about fourteen alphas and more betas, he has captured omegas and actually has these vicious "Dread doctors" doing test on them trying to make them stronger so once they figure out what the drug that works for wolfs are that make them strong, he can become one of the most powerful in the world and do whatever he wants to do with that power. Rumor has it he has over one hundred omegas or betas trapped in his cage that will die every time they fail as a experiment and none of them have succeeded yet. He has lawyers and dirty cops all over the city that turn a blind eye for him just for a handful of cash when they find out about him or have a lead on him. He has weapon and drug caches that he transports for money somewhere in this city. So here is what I think we should do, we go find your mother who is an alpha, also your twin sisters who are alphas, and the five of us can go in and find the weapon and drug caches, destroy the weapons and drugs which gives him no money. Once he finds this out he will want to kill us so we let him come to us and we take him down!" he said throwing down his fist on the table.

"Wait...I have twin sisters?!" I asked

He took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders.

"Tomorrow we go and get Emily and her daughters. I know where they are so that's not the hard part, but finding his shipments will be and beating him." he said

"I am not a hero. You want me to risk my life for people I don't even know? I came here for answers not a stupid war. No way in hell." I said

"You came here risking your life for answers! I gave you what you wanted and some so I think you owe me. Plus I'm letting you stay in my house." he said

"So that's why you helped me? For this? Fine you want me on your suicide mission then that's cool but don't expect me to risk my life for you if you get in trouble out there with fourteen alphas."

"Fine by me, now let's go meet your mother and sisters." he said as I got up and picked up my jacket and put it on and headed to a unknowing family.
