Sacred Ties

Chapter Thirty-Five

Saxon had been busy trying to figure out what the words meant. For days since Zach left his house, he had been reading, searching and trying to make sensible of the words on the piece of paper. The thing was, this wasn't the first time that he had tried to figure the words out. He had been searching for the meaning ever since the death of Edgar. He had promised Zach that he would have the answer in two weeks but he had tried before and it was more than two weeks but he still didn't find out what they meant. Saxon had to find the meaning this time because both his and his mate's life depended on it.

"Finally." Saxon breathed in relief when he found the book that he believed held his answers. He started turning the pages, reading to find something useful.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before he translated the words. He looked at the words and read them again and again. He didn't understand how this could break the spell. Or maybe he had translated it wrong. Saxon repeated his ways carefully and still got the same result. He sighed and hissed when his fangs cut his lip. He started to feel hungry and he reached for the blood bags that Cisco had been delivering in the room for him since he had not stepped out of the library for days.

After settling his hunger, he stepped out of the library and went to his room for a much needed shower. He then got dressed and took a few weapons, just in case he meets trouble on his way to the dragon lord. Before he left, he went to see his mate who still laid unmoving on his bed.

"I'll be in your arms in a few hours from now." He promised and then left the room. The sun had set an hour ago when he stepped out of the house to start his journey.

"Let's follow daddy." Omri suggested to Cisco and the elder shook his head.

"He will punish me if he sees me out there."

"Please..I won't let him find out." Omri pleaded and Cisco found himself nodding. Omri got what he wanted all the times so it could have been useless for him to keep refusing him. Cisco prepared himself with weapons to protect the boy when necessary. He dressed Omri and then held his hand as they walked out the house.

"Ready?" Cisco asked the boy and he got his answer when the boy disappeared. Cisco wasn't far behind as he took off following the boy.

Saxon reached Zach's house just as several cars pulled out of the place. He sneaked in and stopped before getting inside the house. Two people were talking to each other and what they said was enough to make him follow their car as they left the house too. He heard they were headed to a pack where Zach had gone. Saxon concluded it was his mate's pack and he discreetly moved in the street, invisible to others, as he followed the moving car.

Saxon knew that his godson was following him along with Cisco. He became worried on how they would move in the busy street while following him, so he stopped for a while to check on them. He smiled when he saw how Omri moved, dodging cars and maintaining his speed. In fact, it was Cisco who had some problems but he knew Omri would help him out if necessary. Omri indeed took after his parents and he would be just like them in strength, looks and abilities. Saxon continued on his way until the car left the street and entered the forest road.

The leader of the group changed into his wolf form and led other wolves away. There was another group that didn't change forms but went on driving in the cars. Saxon decided to follow the wolves and they ran for nearly over half an hour before they stopped. He didn't know why the wolves had stopped since he was following behind them. Saxon carefully moved to the front to see what made them stop. He was surprised to see his uncle Silas and his uncle's partner, Emilio. He knew something serious must have happened to bring out the enforcers. He was equally surprised to find out what had happened to bring his uncle here. He knew he had to interfere when his uncle moved towards Cemil. He quickly unscrewed the handle on his dagger and checked if the powder was still inside. He braced himself to move quickly so that neither his uncle nor Emilio could detect him before he trapped them.
