Chapter 162
Elliot’s POV
After we found the imposter Silver in the forest and then we found the real Silver, I asked Charlotte to investigate with the gammas, using her abilities, to try and find out where they had taken Silver, to begin with. But once I realized that Silver’s appearance had been taken, I mindlinked her and asked her to investigate that as well.
Charolette couldn’t control her visions, but the Moon Goddess was on our side, and I knew that she would give Charolette the proper visions to help close this case and save the pack. It’s what the Moon Goddess had wanted. I knew Charlotte would be able to help and when she mentioned Crimson and that there was a way to reverse it, I wanted to wrap my sister in a hug and twirl her around.
I knew she didn’t trust Silver; she already explained the reasoning behind her distrust. It was because of the prophecy she had years ago. But Silver wasn’t a danger to this world; I truly believe that the one destroying our world was Silver’s twin brother and that’s why Charolette only saw one child in that vision and not both. Silver wasn’t a destructive person; she was quite the opposite. She was the definition of good; she was healing. I believe she’s the key to keeping the world safe, not destroying it.
But I also understand why my sister was wary of her. I’m hoping that’ll change once everything comes to light, but for right now, my focus is on keeping my wife and pack safe.
“Lucky for you, I already have the cure,” Charolette surprised me by saying. “I make this every full moon and I carry it with me everywhere. I knew it would come in handy one day p>
She reached into her large bag and pulled out a clear jar with crystals wrapped around the edges. Inside the jar looked to be water, but it glistened as she held it up for us to see. “Is that Moon Water?” Erik asked, stepping towards it in wonder.
Charolette’s grin widened.
“Yes, indeed,” she answered. “Splash this on her face and it’ll reverse the Crimson effects p>
“Does it work right away?” I asked.
“It should,” she answered.
She twisted the cap of the jar and opened it. She dipped her fingers inside the water, getting them soaked. Before I knew it, she was splashing the water onto Silver’s face. Silver staggered backward shocked, and my wolf surged forward in fury as I glared at my sister. “What the hell, Charlotte?” I growled, nearly losing control.
Silver just looked confused as she wiped the water off her face with the cloth Erik had given her.
Charlotte studied my wife for a moment, her eyes perplexed, like she was waiting for something.
“Explain yourself,” I said through my teeth, losing what little of my patience I had left.
She just shrugged and turned to look at me.
“I had to make sure,” she said simply. “It turns out she actually is the real Silver p>
“I wasn’t doubting that,” I said in a growling tone.
“Maybe you weren’t but I was, Little Brother,” she said, condescendingly patting my chest. “Where’s the imposter p>
“At the palace,” I answered, trying to calm my angry wolf.
Silver wrapped an arm through mine
and pressed herself close to me, sensing that my wolf was on edge. I immediately calmed down, even if she still smelled like a rogue, her presence was enough to soothe my wolf realized he knew from the very beginning, even if she smelled like a rogue, that this was the real Silver. He never had a doubt and I immediately felt guilty for silencing him all night.
“We should go there then and find out who the imposter is,” she said as she put the cap back on her jar.
I nodded and turned to look at Silver.
I didn’t want to leave her side, but I
also didn’t think it would be safe for her to travel around right now.
Besides, she needed to get some fluids in her and rest so she would be strong for whatever came.
As if she could read my thoughts, she gave me a sweet smile and kissed me gently on the lips.
“I’ll be here when you get back,” she assured me.
I nodded and kissed her deeply, wanting to taste her; even if she smelled like a rogue, she still tasted very much like the Silver I knew and loved, and I was relieved by that, She smiled into the kiss and when t pulled back, I was craving more.
Against my better judgment, not liking that she was friends with another male, I turned to Erik.
“Can you stay with her?” I asked. “I’m taking Luca and Leo with me to the palace to confront this imposter p>
He nodded without hesitation.
“Of course, Alpha. I won’t leave her side p>
I nodded, staring at him warily. I wondered about his true intentions with my wife but now wasn’t the time to question him.
I turned to my Beta and Gamma and motioned for them to follow us. I kissed Silver one last time just before Dr. Scott motioned for her to lie back down on the bed so he could put the IV in her arm.
