Wolfed Chapter 46
“Bonjour,” I replied in one of the few French words I knew. My voice alerted Draugluin that the waitress was speaking to us.“Une table pour deux s’il vous plait. De préférence dans le dos?” Draugluin smiled politely at the woman who blushed.“Suis moi,” the woman grabbed to menus and weaved through some tables until she reached one near a window.“Merci,” Draugluin nodded as he sat across from me. I also nodded in thanks, still feeling like a complete idiot. “She seems nice.”My eyes traveled up and down Draugluin ’s face, curious of why the waitress blushed. He was handsome and, when he smiled sincerely, he could be considered charming. Draugluin was currently looking over the menu, his lips moving slightly as he read.“What do you want?” He looked up at me and I quickly averted my eyes to the window.“I can’t speak French nor read it.” Hopefully I sounded like myself and didn’t seem awkward after staring at him.“They have broccoli cheddar soup or tomato with basil, ones you're par

“I probably wouldn’t go along and have at least one other trustworthy person with me who knew the catacombs as well or better than I did.” Draugluin interjected.“But you’re a guy, girls aren’t like that. If she was truly down here to hide Randolph’s writings, she wouldn’t bring a man or woman with her lest they do something to her or the books and she definitely wouldn’t want them to betray her if they ever made it to the surface. Girls in love can be pretty possessive and if she was infatuated enough to hide his works, she would’ve done this journey alone. Just like if you died and someone tried to steal your research that you’ve done. I wouldn’t take Freki or Ermengarde or Lyall with me because I don’t want them to carry the burden of knowing where it is, nor would I want anyone else to know since it isn’t any of their business.”“Well, when you put it like that, it kind of makes sense,” Draugluin grumbled. With no lights, the catacombs became eerier than I’d remembered on the tou

“The voice, it’s male and slightly rusty. What does ‘Libérer mon espèce’ mean?”“Liberate my species? No, free my species,” Draugluin joined me at the fork in the road. “Unless Randolph knew magic, there’s something definitely wrong here.”“Maybe, or maybe it’s a protective charm so that only werewolves could understand and pick it up. Perhaps the gypsy’s only purpose was to hide Randolph’s writings and preserve them. She might not have known about it being a beacon to wolves.”“Interesting theory but technically we aren’t even halfway through the catacombs. T find something so soon is almost unsettling.”We sat in silence except for Draugluin translating a few things such as “Help free us”, “Save me and mine” and just a few other phrases that constantly repeated themselves. Finally I stood, making a firm decision.“I’ll go first and you can follow.”“No, Lucian, I forbid you.”“As Alpha Son, our pack needs you. I can’t allow you to go first. It’s not that I don’t think you’re capable

“That’s it!” Bayard pounced and landed on me. The sudden attack and smack to the ground only temporarily paralyzed me before I quickly shoved the boy backwards, grabbed his scruff and pulled him to the ground, now pinned beneath me.“Poor puppy,” my antagonizing sent the adolescent wolf into a squirming rage. Shockingly enough, Julias didn’t move a muscle to defend his packmate. Probably as punishment for not following orders and to keep the boy’s pride in check. “We are Argent Pack members, also called the White Guards of France. Our main purpose is watch over all historical artifacts to werewolf history throughout France."The Argent pack was the third largest pack in the world, spread throughout France with only one main house but branch homes throughout reclusive areas. There were certain werewolves who watched, or guarded, certain parts of France and the entire pack was known for only having white or light grey fur and spent most of their lives in wolf form, only becoming humans

After hopping in the passenger seat, Bayard said, “Take this,” and handed me a blindfold, similar to a superhero mask that partially covered the top of the nose and to top reached my hairline. He tied it tight and I felt the sting of pulled hair. I growling at him and I smelt a twinge of fear before it quickly dissipated. “You can’t see where we’re going if that wasn’t obvious enough,” Bayard snorted before probably securing a mask around Draugluin ’s head with a thorough inspection by his superior that it was on correctly.Once everyone was seated and buckled in, Bayard locked the doors and revved the engine. The truck roared to life, startling some passerby’s as I could hear their squeals of surprise and fright.“When we arrive, you will act as if you were cordially invited as guests,” Julias instructed us as we drove out of the city. “There will be werewolves there that do not have deep knowledge of the inner workings of the pack and don’t need to know the real reason you are there

“Young? She has to be in her early fifties” I crossed my arms but I got no response.“I assume we stay separated for our entire stay here,” Draugluin commented as we were led down steep metal steps into a well fortified hallway.“We have plenty of room,” was all that Julias had the guts to say which confirmed Draugluin ’s suspicions. Bayard passed Draugluin and I to unlock and open the two room doors since Julias certainly couldn’t in his wolf form.I felt like I was entering an animal shelter but completely enclosed with no sign of other life around me. The walls were tan and cushioned with a dull yellow light hanging above me. There was a twin bed in the room which actually didn’t look like a prison bed. There was also a small table and a chair as well as a carpet. Well, they had tried to make it homey. I turned around only to watch Bayard close the door with a resounding four clicks. How many locks were on this door? I also heard a low humming sound. So, we’d be monitored by came

“Oh really,” Julianna wrote that down. “Okay Miss Janitor, would you be willing to take a lie detector test?”“Are you?” My question really made her face twitch in restrained anger. “’Cause the story you just told me wasn’t 100% accurate to what Draugluin probably said. I think you’ve tangoed as much as I have.” My grin made Julianna look more dumbfounded. Now she wouldn’t know what to believe and the lie detector test may not even help her as I would clearly try and fail it on purpose.Just then the phone rang and Julianna tapped the speaker button with her pen. “Miss Julianna,” the secretary’s voiced sounded rusty over the speaker, “Alpha is here to speak with you.”“I’ll be right up,” Julianna stood so fast, her chair wheeled back hitting the wall. “Have a guard come escort Lucian back to her room.” She paused and glared at me, “And you better not try anything.” I merely held my arms up in defense and submission.The door opened immediately after that and a tall man with a scar ru

“We all get sick,” Draugluin bluffed, “he’s the type to be lucky enough to only catch the bad ones, though they don’t last very long.”“Really? My sources tell me he’s been sick for over six months now,” Alpha Jon waved his hand, “but that’s not why we’re here. I want the honest truth, why were you in the catacombs?”“We were looking for something,” Draugluin stated simply.“Looking for what?”“We weren’t sure. All information that was given to us came from a book in our library. I’m sure Lyall could find it for you. Pages 327-375.” Wow, Draugluin had memorized the page numbers. “I could even quote you the contents if that would be less time consuming for you.”“By all means,” Alpha Jon waved his hand.“There was a wolf, his name lost to us, who prided himself on the knowledge of his race and seeking a future for his pack and other packs believing that all wolves could have a chance to either be wolf or man by choice, not predetermined by a curse of unknown origin and even sought answ
