I am also grateful that Callan ran here in his Lycan form, because that might make the difference for Umayza. The Warrior grabs hold of Dolion, and Armand explains to him why he has to be brought to the Council.
“See if they can get Ynanna to do the interrogation. We need answers, and we need them yesterday,” he says.
We all know that if someone can get answers out of this moron, it will be Ynanna, and I almost feel sorry for Dolion to get subjected to Ynanna’s form of interrogating-almost.
By the time we have gotten everything out of Armand’s SUV, there is a tow-truck to get it out of the ditch, and Armand decides to ride back in Callan’s SUV.
I offered to drive, but he was adamant in driving himself, and we continue our route to the Academy. Evander is quiet as we follow our Captain, and I don’t have much to say either-our thoughts are with Umayza.
Callan hasn’t contacted us yet, and I don’t expect him to within the next hour or so.
Kane is lying in the back of my head with a pained look on his face, and from time to time, I hear him softly whimper. We both need to know that Umayza will be fine before he will stop his behavior, but it might take a few days if the injuries are minor, and it can take up to weeks if her injuries are bad.
By the time we get to the Academy, Callan has informed us that Umayza was taken away by a Doctor, but other than that, he nor Gray had any information on how she was doing. It made me and Kane feel on edge.
Kane had already threatened Dolion a few times, and I know I will have a hard time stopping him.
We see Gray pacing up and down the hallway, while Callan sits on a chair with his head against the wall and his eyes closed.
“Captain, you look a bit better than last time I saw you,” Gray says as he shakes Armand’s hand. “Thank you for keeping my Daughter as safe as you could.”
Any injuries Armand had were already gone by the time we got there-it is the perk of being a Lycan, as we heal faster than a Werewolf. Even wounds that are fatal to a Werewolf can be healed if a Lycan is given time to rest and doesn’t sustain any other injuries.
Evander and I have found ourselves and our Squad-members in that situation a few times, and we are all still breathing. In all the years that I have worked for the Council, we have only once lost a Squad-member, and that still doesn’t sit right with any of us. We never found much other than his necklace and a few pieces of his skin.
At first, none of us wanted to believe Darius was gone, even though our bond was broken. It was seeing the piece of his skin with a tattoo on it that made it real for all of us. That, and the necklace he never took off, no matter what. It had been gifted to Darius on his eighteenth birthday by his Mother.
Ynanna
I just walked out of my office at the Academy when my phone starts ringing. The caller-ID shows that it is Council-member Dayanah, and I pick it up with a smile on my face. “I hope you have something more thrilling for me to do. Questioning some idiotic Alpha becomes boring,” I say.
“Hello, Ynanna. We need you to question the Wolf I told you about this morning,” Dayanah says without wasting my time, as she knows how much I hate it. I ask her where the Wolf is.
“Dolion was taken to our prison in St. Clairsville, and we need everything,” she responds.
It will take me a few hours to get there, so I tell Dayanah I will contact her if I have anything to report before I disconnect the call and head towards my room to pack a bag. I know when Dayanah told me they needed to know everything, she really meant everything.
This morning she had walked into my office and informed me there was a chance they would need my help in finding answers, but there was not much she could tell me. She told me everything Umayza had told them during a conference call the night before, and that they had spent the night at a Safe-house.
On their way to the Council, a Wolf had attacked the SUV belonging to Evander and Conri. They had alerted the Council when Umayza had said he wouldn’t stop until he had her. With her testimony during the conference call, the only thing Dayanah knew for sure was that it wasn’t a sexual interest.
I asked her how they managed to capture Dolion, and when she told me how they had tried to get her to safety, I had smiled. Theron always comes up with the best plans. I didn’t like the fact that Umayza got injured during the attack on Armand’s SUV, and I will get the answers I want.
Without any problems, I make it to St. Clairsville prison. As I approach it, I see the remains of the building that was once there-a building from a time when Humans still existed. There had also been a prison here back then, but the building got too badly damaged for the Council to use. Instead of rebuilding it, they built a new prison right next to it.
Yesenia is waiting for me in front of the prison. We have known each other for a long time now, and the look on her face tells me I will be dealing with a real asshole. She walks me inside past the Guards and walks me straight to her office, which tells me Dolion has said a few things she doesn’t like.
“Okay. Spill it, Yesenia,” I say the moment we sit down with our coffee, and she smiles at me. “Umayza told Dayanah that Dolion has had two chosen Mates before, both of them not born in that Pack, and both died by either his hands or his actions. I asked him about it, and all he did was smile at me,” she says, sounding pissed off at the guy.
“Well, by the end of the day I will have all the answers. Did you put him in the Chamber?” I ask.
