Thats right its here!! Also I've worked out a schedule, (fingers crossed this one sticks!) I'm aiming for a new chapter EVERY FRIDAY until I complete this book :)
            
twenty six

I'm not permitted to leave the room I woke up in. The doctors are running tests to find where my wolf is and Xavier has this witch doctor named Sally trying to find anymore enchantments that may have been cast on me. He never speaks of his sister and I don't bring it up, he doesn't know I could still hear despite being in a paralysed state. In all honesty I'm yet to make sense of the conversation he had about a girl named Katrina.

I've had so much time to think, being trapped in one room, I'm finally starting to make sense of what's going on. What's being going on this whole time.

I'm being used. Everyone is using me, and for what? Some special Luna ability? One that I don't even know about. I can't keep this up.

"Morning." I look up at Xavier, his eyes are soft as he stands in the doorway almost waiting for permission.

I sit up seemingly signalling to him he can come in, "what's going on?" I ask avoiding his gaze.

"There's been progress, Sally thinks she's located the witch your life is tied with." Xavier says his tone flat.

"Okay isn't that good?"  I ask don't people deliver good news with a smile? That's what they do in movies anyway.

"The only way for us to get you two together is to bring you to her."

I cock my head slightly, "what's wrong with that?"

"She's in Europe Belle. We'd have to fly over, everything's so complex and with Theodore still in the picture." Xavier stops, the moment he says that name I freeze.

Gently he reaches out to me, "I don't want you getting hurt. You've been through so much as it is, it just doesn't seem fair."

I let out a laugh at his words, "nothing about the past 12 years have been fair. I know that I'm fragile but apparently all anyone's been doing is hiding things from me for whatever reason and it's exhausting Xavier. I'm exhausted."

His eyes hold mine, the piercing green I can't seem to shake. "I know Belle, but I don't want to overwhelm you with information. I feel like every time we talk I'm off loading more information onto you, your brain must be just about to explode." Xavier jokes in attempt to lighten an already sombre mood.

"I know, but you're the only person who's ever dignified me enough to tell me anything. I feel like such an idiot, knowing nothing about this world. It's nice to feel like I actually know something for a change." I confess not meeting his eyes, it sounded pathetic to say out loud.

"Okay," Xavier says sitting on my bed. "In truth, Theodore isn't the only complication if we were to go to Europe."

I look at Xavier confused, all I could think of is that it would be too expensive.

"Wolves are wild creatures and they are most comfortable in the forest. As werewolves we're part wolf and therefore forests have an allure to us even in human form. What's more is that where a werewolf is born is where their wolf is strongest. The general area anyway. That's why most werewolves stay within the packs they were born into and all potential Alpha's have to be born on the pack land. A wolf's connection to the land is sacred and therefore it gives them power."

All the cogs in my head start to turn, barely anyone from the other packs ever travelled. Sometimes Alpha's would come from out of town but only ever on business and never for long. I remember always wanting to see the world but no one ever talked about travel, it was like the rest of the world didn't even exist. This must be why.
