Dante’s response to this was just a humourless laugh. How fitting for a sicko like him.
“Think I don’t know that? My mate is dead!” He snapped.
He thought that made his actions justifiable but it was actually the opposite. That made his involvement in this even worse.
“Then you should know better than anyone how painful that is! Why would you ever want anyone else to suffer like that? When you already know it’s the greatest suffering?” I snarled.
Dante took a deep breath as he slumped against the side wall of the cell.
“I just want my mate back,” he muttered defiantly.
So he was robbing us of our mate?! No one could be happy because he wasn’t?!
“What does that have to do with Chasity?” Asked Calix, sounding exasperated.
“She looks just like her!” Said Dante, his eyes lighting up a little.
Understanding slowly dawned on me. Alex had caught the message a lot quicker than I had.
Alex
That was as good as a confession. Dante had lost his mate somehow which was awful, the worst pain imaginable for a wolf and yet he was keen to inflict that pain on three other wolves. He had kidnapped Chasity because she looked like his late mate. My wolf wanted to rip his throat out. Who knows what he had done to Chasity all because she looked like his dead mate?!
I burst into the cell and grabbed Dante by his throat, holding him up so that his feet dangled in midair.
“You took Chasity to replace your dead mate because they look alike?” I roared, tightening my grip on his throat.
I could just strangle him.
“DON’T KILL HIM!” Yelled Calix. “We’ll never find Chasity in time if you do!”
Calix’s words snapped me out of my murderous rage. I dropped Dante. He spluttered, clutching at his throat, while he tried to catch his breath.
“They’re not gonna kill her!” I surmised, looking at my youngest brother. “You heard him! She’s replacing his mate,” I snarled.
Dante caught his breath. He slowly began to laugh, softly at first and then steadily growing in volume until his maniacal laughter was echoing through the basement.
“If you’ve touched Chasity, I will carve you like a roast!” Said Felix through gritted teeth.
“I haven’t,” said Dante, seemingly in earnest.
Massive relief washed over me.
“I want her willing,” revealed Dante.
“SHE’LL NEVER BE WILLING!” Roared Felix at the top of his lungs.
My brothers and I knew that to be true with unshakable certainty. Chasity was truly ours now.
“She won’t but Deidre will,” said Dante pointedly.
“What do you mean?” Demanded Calix.
Dante refused to answer. He just lay there on the floor of the cell with his eyes closed. It was clear to me that Dante was trying to stall. He was slowing us down with his antics. He was trying to buy time for something which meant he wasn’t working alone. He had just mentioned Deidre so she was in on this or at least the imposter of Deidre was.
A look of horror came over Calix’s face as we pondered Dante’s words.
Calix
It was all starting to make sense. Dante had chosen Chasity because she resembled his deceased mate. Chasity would never be willing but that didn’t matter because he didn’t want her mind, he just wanted her body. He wanted a shell that resembled his mate, a host body for some parasitic bodysnatcher to use. The situation would benefit Dante and the fake Deidre. Dante would get his mate’s lookalike and Deidre’s imposter would get a new, young, beautiful body. Deidre’s body was getting older. It was time to make a switch. That realisation horrified me. I loved Chasity with every fibre of my being and I loved every drop of her essence. Where would her personality, her mind, her consciousness go if her body was housing someone else?
“You…you just want her body, don’t you?” I whispered, feeling disgusted.
My elder brothers stared at Dante in disbelief. Dante fidgeted slightly as though this part of his plan unnerved him a little, as though he actually had a conscience.
“We’re not gonna kill her! She’ll be fine. Her consciousness will be transferred to something else in the meanwhile!” He said defensively.
Felix gasped. Alex was still in shock.
“So it’s true?!” Asked Alex incredulously. “You’re stealing people’s bodies? Bodysnatching?”
Dante sighed.
It was true. That meant Deidre’s body had already been successfully stolen years ago and was about to be retired. Had Chalice and Chase had their bodies stolen too? Is that why they had never come back for their little girl? Is that why they had stayed away from Chasity for nine years, missing every milestone including her coming of age?
“Are Chasity’s parents dead? Is Deidre dead?” I asked, hoping those who had had their bodies stolen were still alive in some form, somewhere somehow.
Dante slowly shook his head.
I felt a sense of relief. Hope blossomed within me. I would get Chasity back and I could get her parents back along with their friend Deidre.
