Chapter 42 - Ellamora

Christian accompanied most of them to the hospital. Upon reaching there they found the situation was too overwhelmed which even bothered the humans that were there. That is right, a secret pack hospital would be hard to maintain, especially if they had to tend to emergency situations like this. For this reason the place was open to all as a tiny emergency unit whose major part was restricted to humans. 

Christian tried his best to keep his calm, something he was quite used to as a future Alpha of their whole pack. He explained the doctor's everything as best as he could and was beyond relieved that they were not hurt by something other than wolfsbane. 

He was pacing back and forth at the corridor when he noticed none other than Sebastian Kyles sitting outside Unit-16. Approaching him he asked, "Why are you sitting here"? 

"The patients I brought in are being treated in this unit. I am here in case they need anything". Sebastian mumbled, as if he was absorbed in something else.

Christian, sensing the tense environment decided not to bother him but suddenly he recalled something, "What were you doing at the dungeon"?

"Why, I shouldn't have gone there"? Sebastian snapped at Christian which definitely infuriated him. "You realise that you acting like this makes you even more suspicious"?

"Like I care"? Sebastian rolled his eyes.

"How did you know where to find us"? He questioned again. Sebastian gave him a flat expression before he spoke, "Why do you think I was involved"? He smirked, "Then again that shouldn't be surprising". While saying that he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Christian. 

"What is this" Christian mumbled as he took it from the other's hand and read it. It was an old newspaper article that reported how the missing case of Beatrix Ellamora was resolved upon finding her dead body. "Why do I need this" Christian asked him skeptically. 

"This lady is the mother of that witch. I come from the north where the witches of the Ellamora line are quite popular. This piqued my interest so I looked through the entire file". He explained. 

"Where did you get this"? Christian asked him skeptically. "Remember your library. It keeps a cabinet with files full of glories of the pack. I was going through them… you know, cause I was bored, and happen to stumble upon this". Sebastian shrugged. "If you go back read the whole file thoroughly you will notice that its mentioned who killed her".

"That still doesn't explain how you found the dungeon". Christian pressed further. "I knew the ones who died, and they had their surnames are same unlike mine, which is why it wasn't hard to figure out. I decided to tell you guys about it when I found out that your brother was missing". He sighed with frustration. 

"So...you followed us"? Christian asked. 

"Sort of". Sebastian shrugged.

"Then why didn't you show yourself earlier? If you did these many wolves would not be injured"! Christian asked in accusatory tone.

"I thought you guys could take care of it, unnecessarily getting involved would just make me suspicious... although, you still find me suspicious, I might have misjudged"  Sebastian shrugged. 

"What was with that knife"? Christian asked him, "I have never seen a weapon like this before". Christian mumbled. "It's a tool. Like I said from where I come from it's packed with witches. It doesn't hurt to be a little prepared" Sebastian got up from his seat and smirked before he left.

Despite all the explanations making sense Christian still failed to trust him. There was something about that wolf that kept bothering him, which just didn't seem right.

He was deep immersed in his thoughts when he found Matt coming upstairs, "I thought you went home, why are you back here"? Christian asked him. 

"My Parents kicked me out, said I have to get checked up properly" Matt rolled his in annoyance. Christian, hearing that, chuckled. Matt gazed at Christian hesitant but a curious gaze as if he wanted to say or ask something. Christian despite noticing that decided not to pester him about it especially since he had a bigger problem to take care of.

Matt finding the situation overwhelmed decided to wait instead of bothering the doctor to give him a check up just for satisfaction. "Tell me something… "Christian spoke up softly that was directed at Matt, "Did you ever find anything suspicious or out of the blue about Sara"?

Matt was taken aback by the sudden question. He shook his head to which he was asked, "Are you sure" which prompted him to think deeply. "Well, she dated me even if I was giant pain in the a**, does that count"? Christian nodded before saying, "That would make sense, she needed to manipulate someone".

"I think she just kept me for intel", Matt mumbled, "She did say that I confessed stuff while I was drunk" Matt scoffed.

"You are underage, what the hell were you thinking"!? Christian scolded him with a stern expression. Matt realising what he just confessed gulped, "No more drinks from now, I have learned my lesson". Matt replied quickly to avoid any dire consequences. Christian or Caleb, either of them can be persuaded, but if their father found out how he was involved, he was bound to receive severe form of punishment. 

Not to mention what his parents will put him through if they figure out. When he reached home the first thing he was asked was how he got caught up in all this. At that moment everything went blank so he answered that he needed to buy some supplies outside the pack boundaries before he met up with Caleb. While reluctant his parents did believe his excuse and let him off the hook.

Thinking about that, Matt realized how he overreacted when he found out about Caleb. At that time he was pretty much frustrated with Sara, or  rather how he was played like a fool by her. Maybe he should have given him a better chance to explain. It would be a lie if he said not telling him was a bad idea given how he spilled everything to Sara. 

Of course she found out herself about Caleb, but he would be devastated if it was because of him. Was it really because of what happened when they were young? He failed to understand why Caleb as an omega took his side when they were young. Sure he has changed over the past few years, but he still hated what he did back then, and he hated himself for that. He had this urge inside of him to go and make up with his friend, Alas! He was too stubborn to do that.
