Chapter 28: Meeting a ghost

She walked past me and made a sign for me to follow her, I looked at my mates and saw all of them distracted. It must be a sign. I followed her to a bathroom just outside the ballroom and locked the door behind me.

She smiled at me "you seem a bit... confused" she tried hard to hold down a laugh but failed. "What are you?" I asked in disbelief as I reached out to touch her. As my hand came in contact with her I felt skin, she was there, but just before she was air, I didn't understand.

"Are you dead?" I asked with big eyes trying to sound brave when I truly was close to going into shock. The girl let out a loud laugh and bended over holding onto her stomach as if I just said the funniest thing.

She straightened up "I am not a ghost if that's what you think, I am you" she looked confused and pointed from her to me "or a part of you" she wriggled her eyebrows "or maybe just a product of your fantasy" she looked at me like she was reporting a death – all serious "but he is a ghost" she pointed behind me.

That caught me off guard and I spun around to see a boy, my age or maybe a year older leaning against the door smirking "hello, I am Maximillian" he said all calm. I jumped backwards in surprise.

He was handsome, face of a model, hair that was all perfect and he was wearing clothes that looked to be a prince worthy in the 1500-century. "I would give you my hand if I wasn't... a ghost" he said apologetic.

My jaw hung open as I realized that I could see right through him. "You are..." I stuttered, he nodded "Miss. I am sorry I scared you but I need your help" he said pleading as he took a step closer to me. I held my hands up to stop him "one step closer and I'll scream" I threatened. He chuckled and the girl walked to him and hugged him by his shoulder "he isn't going to hurt us" she said trying to convince me. The way she said us made me shiver.

I stepped back so my back was leaning against the wall. He smiled weakly signaling that he was no harm "someone is trying to take your mates place as alpha and you can stop him" he told me. My mates was in danger? A ghost? "Wait a second, a man is trying to take my mates down... one man?" I asked in disbelieve "I have 10 mates and all their pack members, they can take one man down" I said proudly. It was true, how should it even be possible that one man could take down my mates with all of them against one?

Maximillian nodded but didn't seem relieved "a human yes, a wolf yes, a sorcerer no". My eyes widened "for god sakes are they real too?!" I complained as I sighed loudly "I am waiting for some elves to show up" I said sarcastically while I tried to calm myself, a sorcerer? Magic? Here? US I so not like Sweden.

The girl laughed "they are real, but they live far from here" she said. I just let out an annoyed sigh and looked up at Maximillian again AKA the ghost. "So you want me to tell my mates, that they are in danger, because some girl who does not exist and some dead guy told me so?" I watched them confused and shook my head to shake the thought out of my head "I am losing it, aren't I?"

Maximillian was just as a royal, the way he stood, the way he moved, the way he talked, he was obviously not from the same place as me. "The sorcerer needs one thing to take over their pack, a necklace" he told me "a necklace with a stone made off tears of an angel, that necklace has the power to destroy the entire world as we know it" he explained.

"So? Where is the necklace?" I asked him. "Hidden in the packs office, I need you to get the key from your mates and take it and then we hide it somewhere safe" he said all serious. I nodded "I guess I can do that, but how I am supposed to get the key?" I asked. I already had an idea, seducing them, but that's just cruel. He smirked "you'll think of something, I got to go now, let this be a secret among the three of us" he smirked and then he was gone.
