My Mate is on Fire

Chapter 5

Pov Declan

We were already on our way a few more miles and we will be arriving where Barrosh has previously indicated.

A few minutes later we encounter ourselves with an old-looking cabin we decided to approach cautiously since this had not been what we expected to encounter. The door was locked, but that wasn't surprising at all. I took the handle in my hand and pressed it hard, my supernatural strength helped me crush it making the task so much easier. Once inside the house, I was stunned.

"Are you joking?" Lucas said as he scanned his surroundings.

The small cabin looked completely normal, nothing was out of the ordinary, there were sofas, a chimney, a bookshelf, and there were even some family photos hanging from the wall. I was really confused.

'Have I gotten the wrong address or was I been played on a prank ?'

I ask Dexter who pretty much ignored me.

'Hey Dex whats up'

'Shhh! I am trying to listen.'

'Listen what?'

I perked up my ears and try to focus on any unfamiliar sound it took me a couple of seconds to catch what Dexter was talking about, but then I heard it, it was faint but it was still there a heartbeat.

I bent closer to the floor, the sound was coming from there however I did not saw any entrance or a staircase indicating that there was a basement. something was wrong.

"Um, Declan what are you doing? "

Lucas said when he saw me laying on the ground, I looked him straight in the eyes, and with a curious voice, I confessed what I have just found out.

"We are not alone."

Everyone immediately went quiet.

I stood from the floor and told everyone to search for a way to get down there and then to be prepared for what may come.

I was looking around when suddenly the bookshelf that was covered with a tiny layer of dust caught my attention, I've seen in moves how whenever you pull out a certain book then a secret door will open up, I mean that is too much of a cliche however it was worth a shot.

I approach the bookshelf and started pulling up all the books but nothing happened until I reached one in particular called "ci Annwn" I pulled it gently, and suddenly the bookshelf turned into a door.

"I found it."

Lucas said.

I turned around and saw that he was holding open a door that wasn't there before. The door leads to a staircase going downwards. This was it, my men and I were about to get into what I assumed will be a hell of a fight.

I commanded for some of my men to shift in case we will fight against other werewolves or any other supernatural creature.

As soon as I put my foot on the stairs an alarm got activated.

We were hoping to have the surprise factor on our said, well I am guessing that will not work anymore.

We ran into a place that did not compare to the cabin we came in first, this place was well lighted and clean, the place was cold, the walls were painted in white and silver giving the vibes of being in a hospital or a laboratory.

On our way in, we encounter papers scatter all over the place, broken shares, and even some broken glasses. Something was definitely wrong in here.

Once we reached what appeared to be the main room of this place we were welcomed by a horrifying scene. Dead bodies decorate the floor that was tinted with a scarlet red color all over the place. Only one question popped into my mind, who or what could have committed such a m******e?

As we get closer to the corpses we notice some burns. Some of the bodies were completely calcinated. However, did this did not hold back.

As we were inspecting the place, I heard again the reason as to why we were able to find this hidden place in the first place, the heartbeat, I followed the sound to finally find the source of it.

I made my way in between the lifeless bodies until I stood in front of the source of the fainted sound, a young guy laying on the ground, covered in a few burns and had some blood in his forehead, arms, and chest, nothing major, he had no shirt and his shorts were in a rough shape, however, he was pretty much alive.

"We got a survivor," I announced.

"What are we going to do with him?" Someone asked.

I thought for a moment since I still haven't decided yet.

"We are taking him. Luca's call out to the pack clinic and let them know we are bringing someone with us."

Lucas noded

And we took off from this place not glancing once behind.

We arrived a couple of hours later at the packhouse

Two of the guys taking the burned guy toward one of the stretchers that the nurses have prepared, meanwhile I headed towards Matthew's room.

I entered the room which was displayed with several stuffed animals, flower vessels, and get-well-soon letters. Everyone in the pack had heard what had happened and they have been worried sick for their Alpha.

Matthew was still passed out laying on the bed. Beside him was resting on a chair doctor Nian, she notices my presence and welcomes me to join her.

"How's he doing doc?"

She sighted

" He is fiscally fine, the results from the blood test were looking good, the electrocardiogram and the MRI were great, everything was exceptional as expected from a young Alpha, which will usually be good news however in this case is not.

I have no idea of what could have been the cause for the Alpha's sudden collapse."

She stated with frustration clear in her voice.

And silence was present.

I padded gently her back reassuring her that it was all going to be okay, however, I myself did not believe so.

The silence in the room was suddenly interrupted by a harsh intake of air.

'Matthew '

I turn my head towards Matthew, who was now in a sitting position on his bed. He was looking around the place as if he was desperately looking for something, his nose sniffing around and his eyes turned into those of Ezra's.

"Matthew" I called him out but did not get a response, I took a step forward in an attempt to approach him however doctor Nian stopped me midway by grabbing me by my wrist.

"Do not move." Doctor Nian said

Seconds later Matthew stops his search and bolts out of the room.

Doctor Nian finally let go of my wrist as we both followed Matthew around.

'This day just kept on getting weirder and weirder.'
