“Where are they?” Asked Chance as eager as I was to free them.
“In the bodies of three moon snakes that Deidre keeps in a tank in her room,” said Dante, lowering his voice to a whisper and cackling madly in response to his own revelation as though that was so clever.
He made me sick.
“You’ve kept them sentient and locked up as snakes for nine years?” I confirmed, horrorstricken.
I couldn’t imagine what psychological agony that must be for Chalice, Chase and the real Deidre. Living as snakes in a tank in the room of the person responsible for separating them from their rightful bodies.
Dante laughed even more loudly. Was he totally unhinged? He had to be to go along with all of this.
“Snakes only live about nine years. That’s their natural lifespan so I don’t know if they’re still there. Maybe. They might live a little longer with werewolf consciousness in them,” he added casually.
I felt chilled to the bone. He was so dismissive of the fact that they had stolen the immortal bodies and likely also the lifespans of three werewolves. My brothers, Chance, Danny and I needed to hurry. Every minute mattered. Chalice, Chase and the real Deidre were elderly snakes if they were still with us.
My wolf was furious. I was trembling as he tried to come forwards. My eyes were black. I had to hold back though. There was no time. Chance, on the other hand, could not hold back. His daughter and his granddaughter had been kidnapped by these people.
“I’ll kill you!” Yelled Chance just as his control snapped and he rushed towards Dante.
Alex grabbed him in the nick of time, pulling him from Dante’s cell and securing Dante inside.
“There’s no time, Grandpa!” I bellowed, dragging Chance away from the cell.
Chance was still struggling, trying to get to Dante.
“And where are there?! In LA?” Asked Felix, his voice panicked.
Chance stopped fighting to get away from me to listen to Dante’s answer.
“Deidre has a branch of her spiritual model retreat nonsense in LA but she’s housing everyone at the branch closer to home,” whispered Dante tauntingly.
Felix went to fetch something from his tools. He returned with a determined look on his face and a blowtorch. With a meaningful look at Dante, Felix lit the blowtorch. Dante actually recoiled, looking scared for the first time. Felix walked towards the cell.
“Where are they?” Asked Felix, taking a step closer with each word.
“You’ve been there already!” Yelped Dante, his tone accusatory.
“WHAT?!” Asked Alex, raising his eyebrows.
I gasped. The paintings of the foxes and the beautiful women came to mind. They were in the business of stealing beautiful women’s bodies! An untold number of those “models” from Deidre’s centre might have stolen their forms from poor unsuspecting beauties.
“The abandoned castle we smelled Chasity in with all the fox paintings isn’t abandoned,” I said confidently.
Dante’s maniacal laughter filled the room again. With a wicked grin on his face, he pointed his index fi**ger downwards. I glanced at the stairs nearby. I knew where we had to go. Underground! That mansion had to have a basement. We just had to find the hidden door.
Felix
Inside, I was kicking myself. How could we have been so stupid? We had been in the right place back at that “abandoned” mansion! If we had only looked harder and found the underground segment, we would have rescued Chasity already. I roared in frustration. We should have torn up the floorboards in that place not tiptoed around.
My brothers and I ran out of the pack house with Chance and Detective Danny trailing after us. An unfamiliar wolf came bounding up to us on our way out. Huh? Instinctively I growled at the intruder. Calix put a hand on my ch*st to stop me advancing on the newcomer.
It’s Dexter! Said Calix, sniffing the air, recognising his smell.
That weirdo who was friends with Chasity’s Dad? What’s he doing here? I said privately to my brothers.
He was right after all, remember, about the bodysnatching? Said Chance.
I had forgotten momentarily that there was no such thing as a private mind-link where Chance was concerned. He could tap into any mind-link private or otherwise once he was within a certain radius of the wolves mind-linking.
He could be useful. He’s been right all along, said Alex, fetching a coat and giving it to Dexter’s wolf.
Dexter quickly shifted back, covering himself with the coat.
“I can help! I know you think I’m crazy but…” began Dexter, the desperation in his tone evident.
“We don’t! Get in the jeep!” I ordered, interrupting him.
There was no time for long appeals. If he wanted to help, he had to be ready to leave right now. We all got into the jeep and I floored the accelerator. The mansion was about a half-hour away from the pack house but I planned to make it in less than ten minutes by driving at full speed. I didn’t even slow down when turning corners. Every second counted. We didn’t know when they were planning on switching Chasity’s consciousness with that of Deidre’s imposter.
“Faster!” Yelled Calix as the jeep hurtled dangerously fast down the icy roads.
I would if I could but I actually couldn’t go faster. The accelerator was floored.
“There literally isn’t any faster!” I bellowed in frustration.
The speed meter was at the max point. I turned to my elder brother Alex out of habit, hoping he had a better idea.
Alex
We could outrun the fastest of off-road vehicles in this icy terrain. This was our turf. We were built for this.
