Chapter 246: INTRUDER IN THE PEARL FARM
LOVITA’S POV
A week after learning that we were mates with Toten, he called me in the wee hours of the night and gave me intel about our little Tharn.
" I caught him today. The little brat was talking on the phone with Zineb Aria" Toten cursed.
" You are shitting me" I cursed. " If Conri and Lucian find out, we are dead meat. "
" But why would he do that unless someone threatened him? " Toten demanded. " I heard him say that he was going to the pearl farm."
" Time to set a trap for him and find out what exactly is going on" I stated.
Two days after I pretended to relocate to the pearl farm, my wolf jolted me in the middle of the night. A sheen of sweat covered my body as my limbs tangled in the sheet. As my breath came in short gasps, I tried to calm myself down from the recurring nightmare that had come back. Since I stepped into Chugach the nightmare disappeared and I must say sleeping with Toten and Tharn had chased the nightmares away but coming to the pearl farm they resurfaced.
The problem is this time I woke up differently.
Petrified.
The nightmare this time made my body refuse to move, sleep paralysis holding me down. I could move my eyes and a scream built up on my lips but my mouth remained shut. The fear would build as I felt the wolf bond move over me, and the atmosphere became suffocating.
Hence my wolf jolted me awake and I sank into the mattress, chest heaving as tears threatened to spill and the grip on the bed sheets loosed. I slowly sat back and leaned over, switching the bedside lamp, my hands shaking in fear. I picked up the bottle of whiskey water from the bedside cabinet and gulped it down. My mouth welcomed the liquor, a relief to my throat and dry mouth.
I set the bottle down on the table and scanned the room remembering that it was still in the pearl farm waiting for Tharn to appear. I looked at the bedside clock and it was three pm. Accepting the fact that I would not get any sleep even if I went back to bed, I swung my legs out of bed and padded across the room, to take a shower.
Entering the bathroom, I stripped naked and threw the damp clothes filled with sweat on the floor. I switched on the shower, standing under the warm water that raked through my body. Kneading my shoulders my finger dug into my skin as I aimed to ease the tension in my body. I took the shampoo and massaged my hair and my mind went blank. I felt relieved as I finished the shower and stepped out of the bathroom after drying myself.
I pulled on my pants and walked to the open kitchen to make breakfast. I switched on the coffee machine, getting the cup from the cupboard as the coffee bubbled.
I unplugged the cell phone from the wall socket and scrolled through it before the phone buzzed and it was Toten who was calling.
"Hello," I brought the phone to my ear.
" He left the office and headed straight to the Island on a small boat. " And Toten disconnected the call.
I knew that Tharn would hide out for a day and hence I drank my coffee slowly, prepared for the day, and walked out of the house at five am. Cyrus was already up plus the farm workers. If my guess was right, Tharn would attack at night and there was no cause for worry during the day.
The day dragged slowly but when nighttime came, my body switched on to a high alert mode. I hid in the farm as I watched Cyrus and the rest of the workers. I walked to the little farmhouse by the stores and hid in waiting.
Two hours later, I heard noises by the farmhouse and stood in waiting when I spotted Toten crawling in and then scolded him " Why the fuck are you here?"
" You need my help to reason with him. " He snapped and then moved to hide behind me.
The scent of Tharn alerted us and we noted he was headed to the main house of the pearl farm. We kept our footsteps light to avoid detection. It was becoming increasingly difficult as we noted the debris that lay on the floor that would alert Than of our presence.
Arriving at a corridor that stretched around the corner, we stood in waiting for close to an hour. Feeling frustrated, I scanned the walls, looking for any hidden doors or compartments that would lead us back to the main house.
I turned around and Toten was gone. "Fuck fuck fuck " I cursed as I rushed outside then felt the first attack as Tharn’s wolf hit me. I landed on my feet and a storm pushed out. My eyes went to the witch powers mode and I scanned the area for Tharn Wolf and was surprised at how large it was.
" Fucking brat" I yelled.
I heard Toten curse and I rushed in the direction that the sound came from then Tharn wolf appeared and that is when I noticed another wolf chasing him and it was not Toten. I realized that he had led the wolf from me and deduced that Toten had been attacked.
We had walked right into a trap.
My feet increased the speed and when I came to the corner I found that Toten had been bitten by the wolf and he was lying on the ground in pain.
" What took you so long, lazy bones? " Toten cursed at me.
I laughed and cursed " Fucking bastard. Are you hurt?"
" He bit my leg. I know him. He is the enforcer who was chased from the pack. His name is Amon Cain. I can smell the Cinnabar crystal on him" Toten winced in pain.
Assessing his leg, I realized it was only a graze and breathed a sigh of relief. I ripped my shirt on the edge and wrapped it around his leg. Hide and stay put. It’s time to take down this bastard.
I shed my clothes shifted into my wolf form and chased them. Amon’s wolf must have realized that I was hot on his heels and then he turned around to attack me but he was no match for my powers as I pushed the witch’s powers out of me and attacked him with such force that his wolf whined and landed on the ground unconscious.
" Fucking mutt" Storm growled.
I shifted back and stood naked staring at him when Tharn’s wolf approached.
" So you lured him here because you knew he was the mole. You spoke out loud so that Toten could hear and then came over to expose him" I spoke to Tharn’s wolf. I watched the way his large snot moved over and rubbed on my hand. " You should have come to me, " I added in annoyance.
" Hey" I heard Toten yell and say " I am the one who is hurt over here"
Tharn’s wolf turned and rushed over and I picked Amon’s wolf and dragged it along until I got to where Toten and now a naked Tharn stood.
" Can you please put on some pants or something? " Toten grunted and at that point, Cyrus appeared with our clothes.
"How?" I asked him and then realized that Tharn must have alerted him firsthand. I pulled my pants on and watched the way Tharn shied away and stood behind Cyrus as he dressed.
" Because Tharn here is my grandson" Cyrus gave us the piece of news that shocked Toten and me.
" Wow!" Toten chuckled and I could only stare at Tharn as I felt that he did not trust us.
" It’s not that I don’t trust you but the fact that Lobo is watching both of you. He has no idea that I am your mate and that was the only way I thought I could protect both of you. " Tharn explained.
" He faked the call" I explained to Toten whose brows furrowed and he muttered under gritted teeth.
" Cyrus, it’s time that we build a perimeter security fence around the pearl farm. With the likes of Amon appearing, indicates that Lobo Aria is coming for us" I spoke up.
" And he will send more men in the coming days. " Cyrus cursed.
" We need to brief Alpha Conri and have a solid plan of counterattack" Toten spoke up.
" There is one more thing " Tharn’s eyes looked shyly away from me.
" Just spit it out, Tharn. I will find out one way or the other. " I snapped at him.
" Amon used your grandmother’s boat to get access to the pearl farm. I saw them together on the beach and they had a lengthy discussion. I am sorry but the mole in the pack is your grandmother Elina Storm." Tharn announced.
