The Gamma's Daughter - Secrets Revealed

Harrison's POV
We have found Owen's compound. It's an abandoned hospital in the middle of nowhere. We have our scents blocked and are camouflaged in the trees we are hiding in. While watching the compound, we see Owen leave with a small army. I can feel the hatred and the anger start to boil inside of me when I see him. Izzy grabs my hand. "calm down, babe. You will get your revenge," she linked me. "I can feel Serina's energy coming from that back corner," Celeste said as she pointed to the far left side of the building. We had come up with a half-ass plan before coming here.

Izzy, Celeste, Julius, Ruby, and myself are going in. My dad, Dravin, Andrew, Drew, Jillian, Arol, Elijah, and Fallon each have a handful of warriors and are surrounding the compound. Alice, Valorie, Eva, Travy, and Lana stayed with the pack. They are preparing the hospital for any injuries or casualties amongst our warriors, or anyone we save that needs immediate medical care. The goddess did say they were being tortured; I'm sure they will need as much medical care as they can get.

Celeste has made a condition masking our natural scents with the scent of rogues. Julius runs around the back, looking for an entry. "I found one. It's rather small, but it should work," Julius said as he returned. The four of us follow Julius around back. He leads us to a small bathroom window that is halfway opened. "This could be a trap," I link them.

Being a tribrid, Izzy and I can now link with anyone. "It could be; that's why I'm going first to check everything out. You guys wait here," Julius linked back. "No, Julius, let me go," Izzy replied. "No can do, sweetie. You are too important to take any risks; both of you are. It's gotta be me," Julius stated. "He is right, Izzy. Besides, I don't think this is a trap. They have no idea we have found them. They definitely don't know we are here," Celeste smiled that; I know all smile.

Julius sneaks through the window. He is gone for about 30 seconds. "It's clear," Julius linked us. Celeste is the first of us to go in, then Izzy, followed by Ruby, then myself. The five of us are huddled together in this small ass bathroom. "Follow me," Celeste said as she quietly opened the bathroom door. We followed her into a dark hallway. Julius is behind Celeste, and then it's Ruby and Izzy with me in the back.

We quietly make our way through the abandoned halls. We were about to turn a corner when we ran into two women and a boy. They all seemed to have been mistreated. The women and boy stare at us with fear evident in their eyes. "Don't be afraid. We are here to help," Celeste whispered. "Are you here to save us?" the boy asked. "Zander," the younger of the two women said as she pulled the boy to her chest. "Yes, Zander we are here to save you, Serina, and anyone else that wants to be saved," Izzy said as she crouched in front of the boy. "I'm Izzy. This is Celeste, Julius, Ruby, and my mate Harrison," Izzy replied as she pointed to each of us.

"You're wolves," The younger woman asked with fear. "Yes, he and I are. Celeste and Ruby are witches, and Julius is a vampire," Izzy replied. "You are all working together?" The older woman asked. "Yes. The goddess has sent us to rescue Serina and anyone else who wants to be rescued," Julius replied.

"I'm Dorthy," the older woman said with a smile. This is my daughter Beth and my grandson Zander. We can show you where Serina is," Dorthy smiled lovingly as she introduced her family. "We will follow you," Izzy replied. "How do you know we can trust them?" I asked. I know I sound paranoid, but I'm not willing to take any chances when it comes to Izzy. "I just feel it in my gut. The goddess said to follow our guts, and that's what I'm doing," she replied. "My gut is telling me we have to be careful," I stated. "I know, babe. We are being careful and will continue to be careful. Please stop worrying," Izzy replied. "I will never stop worrying about you, Izzy, ever," I replied.

We all stop in front of a door with four padlocks. "This is where Serina is. We don't have a key. The only one that has a key is the king," Dorthy said as she pulled Beth and Zander closer to her. She seemed afraid that we would be mad and hurt them. "It's ok, Dorthy. I don't need a key," Julius smiled before grabbing a lock and breaking it off. He then breaks the other three. Celeste slowly opened the door. Huddled in the corner is a girl who looks to be maybe 15. She has bruises covering her face and arms. She is wearing a dress that looks like it used to be white. It is now almost black with dirt.

Celeste is the first to walk in. "Serina, I'm  Celeste. I am the witch queen. The goddess sent us here to save you," Celeste said as she slowly approached the girl. The girl looked up at Celeste with tears in her eyes. "You came. She said you would come, but I didn't believe her," the girl cried. Celeste pulled the girl to her chest and hugged her. "Oh, sweetheart, we are here. We are going to get you guys out of here," Celeste cried.

Serina looked at us and ran into Izzy's arms. "You are here. I have seen you. I see you are marked. Thank goddess. He wants you more than anything. Even more than he wanted your mother," she says as she looks at me. "You know who I am? Does he?" I asked. I'm not scared of him knowing, but if he knows, it will ruin my surprise for him. "I know who you are, your highness, but he does not. I have learned how to withhold information from him," she replied. Please call me Harrison. I am not the king," I smiled. "Not yet, you aren't," she smiled. "Serina, this is Ruby and Julius," Celeste said as she pointed to them. "Hour highness," Serina said as she bowed her head

Serina helped us gather about 50 werewolves, witches, and vampires. They are all so grateful for our help. "There are more down in the basement," Beth said sadly. "What's wrong?" Izzy asked. "That's where he keeps the families and the unwilling vampires," Serina replied. "Ruby, take them to Andrew. We will go to the basement," Celsete ordered. "I can show you how to get there," Serina stated. "Serina, you need to get out and get medical treatment. I will take them," Dorthy said as she bugged Beth and Zander.

After a minute of protests from Serina and Beth, Ruby finally led them out. Dorthy took us to the basement. I gasped as I took in the sight of everyone down here. They have all been beaten, even the children. I can't believe anyone could do this to people.

The place smelled of vomit, urine, feces, and blood. I don't think anyone can walk out of here on their own. I have never in my life felt the rage that I felt as I looked at these innocent men, women, and children. I know now more than ever that Owen has to die, and I will gladly be the one to end his life.
