Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 86

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A gasp left my mouth only to be covered by my hand. I was now, more than ever, so very thankful for two things. One, Dexter, was dead, thankfully. Two, the alternate reality I was sent to. Without it, we never would have come across this. I went to take a step into the large underground steel box when Everest stopped me.

"Avalynn, this may be a trap. Don't." He urged me and I paused.

"Then why was I led here then?" I countered him, he couldn't answer me.

"I am with Avalynn, she was sent here for a reason," Brent told Everest.

Everest let out a sigh and allowed me to go inside first. The smell was overwhelming, but I could understand, especially with the conditions that were being forced here. I was angry and sad at the same time. My emotions were swirling together like a dangerous vortex, destroying everything in it's path.

A voice that was so very soft, barely audible even came from the darkness below as I was stepping down the steps, "I told you she would come for us. It was just a matter of time."

I looked around the room as my eyes adjusted quickly and what I saw was so very disturbing. Hands were chained together, the chains were linked to the wall. Clanking sounds and grunts were heard as the people were standing, probably the first time in a while. Who knows how long these people have been down here?

"Hello." I said cautiously and a woman, whose face was extremely dirty, offered a surprisingly warm smile.

"Hello, are you Avalynn?" She asked, sounding hopeful.

"I am. Who are you?" I asked her.

"I am Melissa, one of the good witches from the council." She stated. "I am so very happy that you have found us, I knew the spell I placed on those documents would do the trick. Is it what led you here today?" She glanced behind me and smiled at them.

"Wait what? Well yes, it sent me into an alternate dimension or timeline, I don't know, but the world was different. Hold on, let's set you free." I motioned for the others to come and help.

"You will need to use magic to free us. A powerful spell that lies in one of the many books inside Dexter's safehouse." These cuffs are spell binding and they block our magic and our ability to use magic to free ourselves. The entire place may be spell blocked as well, but the book I left in the bookcase has a protectant spell. The protectant spell on it allows whoever is holding the book to do the spell, but a hand must be left on it to work." She told us.

"What does the book look like?" I asked her.

"It is a navy book with swirls of silver on the spine. There is no name on the cover of it anywhere. You will know when you see it." She smiled. "Go ahead and go find it, we are not going anywhere. Oh, but if you don't mind, leave the steel hatch open, the fresh air is nice." She instructed us and we all left.

"Dexter has an entire library and then there is a bookcase in almost every single room. We do need to be quick. I am sure the council has been notified already of everything that is going on and the death of Dexter." Brent told us all.
