Captured

Chapter Sixty Two

"We're going to get you some help, maybe some counselling that way you can talk about what happened and how to...move on." I wasn't sure if I was wording it correctly, I was in no way trying to dismiss her trauma. I wanted her to heal from it and get on with her life.

"I don't want to talk about it." Cami snapped, snatching her hands away from mine. "I've made up my mind."

"You're being selfish! So fucking selfish! You need to think about how your actions will affect others around you."

"I'm being selfish?" Cami's voice rose up too. "I'm trying to do the right thing here, how am I being selfish?"

"What am I going to do if you die?" Tears streamed down my face like a never-ending river. "If they kill you what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to live without you?"

For once, Cami seemed lost for words since she got back here. She didn't say anything as she looked at me with her sad eyes. Even if she didn't care about her life anymore did she not think about the impact her death would have on me?

She was all I had now, what would I do without her?

Shaking my head, I pulled tried to pull myself together. No, I'm not going to think about her death when all of this is preventable. I had time to either convince Cami to drop this meeting or come up with a solution that keeps us both alive and well.

"Stay here. Don't go anywhere." I told Cami as an idea popped into my head. "Promise me you will not leave this room or speak to anyone about what happened that night."

Cami nodded causing me to let out a sigh of relief. The last thing I needed was to come back and find out she had told other people about that fateful night.

"What did you tell Uncle Tom?" I suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be looking after her and was probably wondering where she was. "Does he know what you're planning on doing?"

"Yes, I told him."

"And he didn't stop you?" Had he lost his mind too? What was wrong with everyone? How could he allow a child to come back here and confess to a crime that would get her killed?

"He tried to but I had already made up my mind."

God, why was she so stubborn? Why was she so hell bent on dying?

Not wanting to waste anymore time, I left the room, closing the door softly behind me and praying that Cami stayed in the room and didn't cause anymore trouble.

Perhaps it was my fault, after all the last thing she heard from me was Alpha Alessandro threatening me and crushing my phone. If I had somehow managed to get in contact with her again, I could have reassured her that I was fine instead of leaving her wondering whether I was still alive or not.

I tried though, I tried my best.

Your best isn't good enough, Nala.

"I need to go to the library, which way is it?" I asked one of the men who were stationed on the corridor.

Both men exchanged a glance before one of them stepped forward. "Come."

That was easy! I was expecting some sort of resistance or thought they would need permission from Alpha Alessandro but I guess not. I followed the guard silently, keeping my head down and myself as invisible as possible. I didn't want to be stopped by any of the maids working here or worse, any of the guests living here.

The guard opened the door and motioned for me to go in. "I will be waiting outside." He simply said before closing the door behind me.

Entering the library, my nose was instantly hit by the scent of paper and magic. The aura of the room was peaceful as a Sunday morning in the winter, quiet and serene. It was unlike any library I had ever seen before, the long and thick bookcases were ornate as if they had been carved by a person who had a profound love of literature. The engravings were of wolves, some sat down, some in a running position and some with the moon behind them. It was inviting not only to the eyes but to the fingers as well.

My hands skimmed over the bookcases, my mind in awe of how beautiful everything was. There were hundreds of thousands of book here, if not more. As much as I would love to spend my time getting to know this library better, I had a more pressing matter to get to.

Refocusing my mind, I began to skim through the covers, trying to find the book or books I was looking for. I was successful in my ventures and grabbed as many as I could, eager to learn as much information as I could in the short amount of time that I had.

It felt like it had been minutes since I entered the silent and empty library but I knew I had been here longer than I should have. Every minutes counted, hell every seconds counted when it came to saving my sister's life. I couldn't afford to waste any time.

Putting the books back into the original places, I held onto one. It was thick, over several hundred pages long and very old. It was dark in colour with gold etchings on the side and the front. Clasping it to my chest, I headed out of the library as my heart began to race.

Hopefully Cami had fulfilled her promise and remained in the room, out of sight and out of trouble.

"I'm going to see Alpha Alessandro." I told the guard who stared at me blanky. I knew how to get to Alpha Alessandro's room from my room but I wasn't sure how to get there from the library. "I don't know the way."

Silently the guard began to walk and I assumed he was going to take me to Alpha Alessandro so I followed him, clutching the book like a lifeline.

Was I making a mistake here? Should I do this?

We got to Alpha Alessandro's office a lot quicker than I had anticipated. Knocking on the door, I let myself in when the Alpha's voice beckoned me in.

Alpha Alessandro looked up from his laptop but did not seem surprised to see me. "What is it now, human?" He went to his laptop, not bothering to spare me another glance.

"I-I...I"

My stuttering had him closing his laptop and giving me his full attention. His eyes then fell on the book I was still clutching onto with dear life.

Come on Nala, you can do this!

Swallowing harshly, I steadied myself for the words I was about to say.

"I want to mate with you."
