SWNOVELS Chapter 13
The sound of the alarm clock had woken me up. I turned to see a sleeping Maverick beside me, I did not want to wake him, so I quietly and slowly slipped out of the bed and went to the restroom. My mind was scrambled all this information from last night screaming at me. I do not understand how our parents could keep this from us and keep Malcolm a secret from us, why did they not tell us or even look for him? There were so many questions and no answers, and my head was so jumbled, I felt useless. “You are not useless Ki; you had no idea and EJ was too young to remember.”
“I know Vee but right now I feel useless he is still our brother and they have brainwashed him and tortured. How can I save him Vee?” “Ki, stop thinking what you could have done back then, stop trying to do it all yourself and remember your not alone.” “Thanks, Vee.” When I opened the bathroom door, I seen Maverick sitting on the edge of the bed in his black sweats, hand running through his hair, he looked very sexy first waking up with his hair all disheveled
. He must have sensed my presence when he quickly looked up at me his hair over the top of his eyes. “Sorry for just crawling into your bed with you but you were sobbing in your sleep and neither myself nor my wolf could stand leaving you alone in that state.” “It is okay thank you for staying with me.” He smiled and headed to the bathroom stopping and kissing me on my forehead, “Anything you need I will always help you.”
“Thank you, I need to talk with my brother and somehow save Malcolm. I know I do not know him, and it sounds crazy, but he is my brother.” “You are not crazy, you are wanting to save your family Micaiah, that’s normal and your family is mine and I will help you anyway I can.” I kissed him on the cheek and got dressed I needed to go talk with EJ and try to make some sense out of everything.
I found EJ out near the training grounds staring out into the woods. “Hi, how are you holding up?” “I do not Ki, I mean how can I not remember my own brother?” “I know EJ everything is confusing, but he is our brother, and you know what we have to do.” “I do, we must save him, but I do not even know where to begin, I mean if I could remember something anything maybe it could help us.” Then it hit me, “Lacey!” “What?” “Lacey, she’s a witch right maybe she has a way for us to figure out the missing pieces.”
He nodded at me, and we both headed back to the pack house to finally figure out what we did not know. There she was sitting right on the lawn in front of the pack house like she was waiting for us. “I knew you needed to see me I could sense it.” She answered the question before we could even ask, she is fascinating. “Lacey, we need you to send us back to the past we need to figure out why neither of us knew of Malcolm. Why he was kept a secret and maybe we can figure out why they kidnapped him.” “You need to what?” I turned and seen all my friends and Maverick standing at the door eavesdropping on the conversation.”
“Okay, but so you know we will need to be locked in the safe room while we do this.” “Why?” Maverick asked puzzled and concerned. “Because while I am transporting them back their bodies will be here as will mine, in a coma like state and they will not be able to defend themselves and I won’t be able to help anyone or protect my charge. The safe room is the only way I will do this.” “It is a deal. We need to know what happened back then to know what to do now.” I said knowing everyone would understand. We then went to the safe room EJ hugged and kissed Emma before lying down on a cot, I hugged my friends told them I loved them and to be safe while I was under, I then turned and kissed Maverick his holding of breath I could tell he was stunned by my movements, but he then reciprocated and told me
“You be careful, I will be waiting for you.” I smiled and laid on the cot next to EJ. I held his hand as Lacey laid her hands on top of ours and began chanting in another language then did so in English. “Per tempus et spatium, tolle nos ad locus expect cupimus, ad unum quaerimus, invenire responsa illi habet tenentur sic profundus
Through time and space, take us to the place we long await, take us to the one we seek, to find the answers they have kept so deep.” I felt my eyes becoming hard to keep open and body going limp. I closed my eyes and let her magic run through me.
It was like I was floating, body was so relaxed, it felt blissful even. Then I felt grass beneath me I slowly opened my eyes and seen we were in the old pack grounds I helped EJ up and we could tell we were both nervous. “They can not see you, or hear you, we are basically we are spirits here.” Lacey said reminding us it was time to find the answers. We began walking to our old home hoping we could figure something out there. As we approached, I grabbed EJ’s hand looking for comfort, not only to see our parents but this was also the place where I killed all those years ago.
