Chapter 62
Uncle Dave’s POV
Melinda ran off to Nora’s quarters and I just opened the door when Helio’s and Ares came barging in along with Ben and my brother. Ben’s eyes were red and I think there was blood coming out from them.
I found Anna quickly with Melinda’s mother, Mariah and she looked rather angry. I nodded at them and handed over the kitten to Anna and kissed the top of her head before rushing around the castle.
My instincts told me to go to the backside of the castle, that something was there in the back garden. And I was right, in the middle of the garden I was nearly throwing up, this time it wasn’t a cat and her kittens. No this time it was even more disgusting, I hate witches!
Rogue lycans in their shifted form, pinned up on the trees around 20 of them or more and all of them are missing their heads. What is this? A blood ritual or something so I
mindlinked my brother.
*Brother? I found the missing lycans well, some of them anyway. They are in the back garden and bring Melinda and her mother with you. The mother is out the front with Anna.* I closed the mindlink after my brother answered that they were on their way.
I turn around when I feel them getting closer, it took them about three minutes to get here and I have searched for a way
to get the bodies down but they are protected by something. It’s like a barrier of some sort.
“Don’t touch it” Melinda warns as she comes to stand by my side.
“It’s a bush” I say and glance at her.
“I get it that you don’t like witches but please have some faith in me. I don’t say that you should trust me because I know that you don’t but please, all I ask for is some faith” Melinda sighs and I give her some of it and back away.
She holds up her hands and a blue glow surrounds her hands and then she hisses like she burned herself.
“Stu pid, little sister, you will get yourself killed this time” she curses and I raise an eyebrow at her.
“Mom, over here” she calls out and I can now see her mother and my brother walking over.
“It’s an offering” Melinda says and touches the barrier. It becomes dark red, even more so than the blood that covers the grass inside the barrier.
“Yes I can see that” Mariah answers and she doesn’t seem happy about it.
“What is this all about?” my brother asks and looks just as disgusted as I feel.
“A blood ritual or sacrifice is to harvest power, a forbidden
power to achieve a high goal” Mariah says and looks distant.
“Maya was born without natural powers so she has to borrow from someone else and usually it would be me but when I
caught her torturing animals a few years before she gave birth to Mia, I refused to lend her my powers again” Melinda explained and I watched her as she looked sad.
“Yes, unfortunately she was born without powers of her own and her daughter is almost the same” Maria says and bites her lip.
“So how do we deal with this?” I ask and Melinda glances at

“I will summon Fa nny and Carol while you guys should look for a traitor amongst you” Mariah say and I stare at her
“Why do you believe that we have a traitor among us?” lask and I can’t even think about it.
“Because of Melinda’s foretelling and that Maya couldn’t have killed those cats by herself, someone is helping her” Mariah explains and I think back
I really hate witches. They always do spells and rituals and innocent people get hurt and everything just ends up in a boom and everyone except the witches are suffering. Just like with the stu pid, idiotic curse.
“I am going to find Anna and I need to talk with you brother later on ” I say and he nods at me and I turn on my heel and walk back to the castle when I hear a whooshing sound.
+ glance back and see two more witches appearing beside Melinda and Mariah, spo oky.
I walk back to the castle and meet Ares on my way around the corner, I grab his shoulder and turn him around,
“Nope, you are not going down there” I say and drag him with
me
“Nope I am not.” Anna was sad so I was going to go and get you but it seems we found each other so now you go and comfort your girlfriend and I will try to not puke while I watch you guys” Ares explains and makes some strange sign which makes me slap him in his back head.
“Stop, I don’t know what that means but you look disgusting while doing it, I feel sad for Nora” I say and walk away from him and I knew that I stepped over the line but I am not happy right now. I need to shift and run it off.
“Dave?” Anna’s voice comes out and I glance at her but shake my head slowly.
“It’s okay miss Anna, I and some other of the guys will take Dave to blow off some steam. We will be back later” Linus
dad comes over and I shake my head.
The tournament” I begin to say when Linus’ dad shakes his head.
“Nah we decided to take the second part tomorrow instead, one of the warriors broke his leg so the doctor was furious” he laughs and I just shake my head and grunts.
I reach for Anna and smell her scent and whispers
“I will be back tonight. Make sure you are not alone”
“Yeah, I will be in Nora’s room.” Anna answers and I notice the
little white fluffball, sleeping in Anna’s hands.
“Name” I say and look down.
“I don’t know, I didn’t want to give it a name in case of..” Anna say and looks sad again
“Melinda said that the kitten is safe so think of a name” I say and give her a small smile
“You can decide” Anna say and I get surprised and think but my head is empty and then a name hits me
“Yuki” I say and wink at her and she giggles.
“Perfect” Anna says and we smile at each other.
“Blah, blah, blah, just kiss and we can go” Linus’ dad says and Anna blush hard.
Thit him and kissed Anna on her cheek and then we walked away from there. Along the way there are other guys that I recognize, that are joining us. Now we are a group around ten lycans that are about to shift and run around like pups.
A bit childish perhaps but so much fun. All of us have been healed and saved by our future queen and we are extremely loyal to her so when the witch said that we have a traitor among us I couldn’t believe it.
It has to be one of the others in that case.
