Trapped [H.S]

Chapter 27 (part 2) : Deal or No Deal?

(Happy almost New Year Fellas♥)

Harry's POV

"Alpha, do you know where you're going? Because I am pretty sure this is not where the dungeons are..." Nora says for the fifth time making me growl in frustration.

"Will you stop talking?" I whisper yell at her.

"Yeah, okay." Nora almost pouts.

'Where are you, Jenny? ' I say to myself. I look around to find absolutely no one in the pack house. Why would Xavier leave the house unguarded?  It's really weird if you ask me.

This pack house is so different than ours. You can literally hear the screams of all the mates sacrificed here, you can smell the blood of all the innocent werewolves,  you can feel hatred hiding in each and every brick of this house. This house is making me feel so uncomfortable for a reason I can't put my finger on.

"Harry, I don't feel too good." Nora says stepping closer to me.

"Neither do I." I look at her to see her worried for the first time since we arrived here. She nods but doesn't say anything to it. We take cautious steps towards the big hall of the pack.

Every pack has a hall like this specially for pack meetings or pack parties.

"Hello?" I call out.

"Harry! What are you doing!? Are you crazy!?" Nora hisses.

"I don't think there's anyone around Nora..." I shrug and she gives me a disappointed look. I roam around inspecting the hall for some kind of smell or noise.

"We'll I thi-" Nora starts but before I could turn I hear a loud whoosh followed by a loud gasp. "AH!" I turn to see Nora standing there wide eyed, looking at me.

Tears roll down on her cheeks. I stay where I am, my mouth wide open with shock, I feel my eyes burning and tears welling up in them. My eyes trail down to her chest, where I see a silver arrow that has pierced through.

"No." I breath out.

Nora gives me a weak smile before she closes her eyes and lets her body fall on the floor. "NORA!" I scream and run towards her. Grabbing her falling body just before it touched the ground.

"No! Nora please!  Not you! I lost Alec and I can't afford to lose you now. PLEASE! WAKE UP DAMMIT!  Nora! Please! You can't do this to me!" I scream over and over again. But she doesn't move or say anything. "Please" I beg again and again. But she doesn't. "No! Please. No." I cry burying my head into her shoulder.

"Well,  well, well... who do we have here?" I hear a voice that makes my blood boil. He laughs as he continues walking my way, "I feel so sorry for your loss, Harry. Another addition to the dead, yeah?" He said dusting imaginary dust off his cloak.

"You coward! You didn't have the balls to fight my Beta so you shot her!" I growl at him.

"Um, no. You and I both know I could take her down in just a minute. But she's dead now, so why are we fighting over her." He says with an evil grin.

I put Nora's dead body aside gently and stand up. Xavier is almost at tall as me and as well built as I am.

"Give me my mate and I will not cause you any harm." I say through gritted teeth, my fists clenching.

"Oh but I'm afraid she must be dead by now." He says and my heart falls. For a second my senses go numb. He notices the change in my expression and laughs.

"Just kidding, Styles. She's alive. I've kept her alive to watch when I kill you."

He says using my last name. Nobody has called me that since my father was killed. I hate being called by my surname. "Don't you dare call me that! And where is she!?"

"Talking about dares, are we?" He scoffs. "And why would I tell you where she is? What's the fun in that?" He smiles making me more angry and frustrated than I was before. Suddenly he moves his cloak back and puts his hands in his pocket. "How about we make a deal, Styles? " He says and removes his hand.

He opens it and holds it out in front of my face. The Crystal.

"How about you tell me how to get the liquid out of this dammed crystal and I give you your mate?" He asks thinking I'll fall into his trap.

"How about no?" I say with a smirk, crossing my arms over my chest. He still hasn't figured out how to get the Crystal to crack and only a Black Crystal Alpha knows the trick. He can't win here, he needs me and I can take advantage of that.

"Harry, all of this can end right now. All you have to do is tell me. The blood bath outside can end." He says and I spit, " oh shut up with your bullshit! You're the one who caused all of this in the first fucking place!"

"Tsk tsk tsk. Language, Harry. Didn't your mother teach you to not abuse?"

"Don't you dare bring my parents in this, Xavier! I'm warning you!" I say pointing a finger at him.

"Okay, another deal." He says brushing off the previous topic. " How about you tell me the trick and I let your mate live. I mean, I have Hordor on the cell door right now, one command and he'll kill your precious little mate."

"You wouldn't." I hiss.

"Oh, try me." He says in a voice so calm and vicious. 

Is the Crystal more important than my mate? Will he really kill my mate? I can't see Jennifer hurt no matter what! I just can't.  I will be betraying my pack if I help him,  but I have to save Jennifer from this bastard! I can't put her life at stake! 

After what It felt like hours, he clears his throat and asks, "So?"

I take a deep breath in and exhale. "If I show you how to use the Crystal, you will let Jennifer go immediately!" I tell him.

"Your wish is my command, Styles" He says sarcastically.

I take another breath before holding my hand out. "Give it to me."

"What? No. You think im that crazy?"

"Well, yes.. you are. Now hand the Crystal to me. That's the only way!" I tell him sincerely. He waits for a minute and I know he's trying to hear my heart beats to see if I'm lying. After a minute or two he opens his hand to put the Crystal on my palm. And that's when we hear it.

Another growl. It didn't come from me nor from Xavier. A growl so powerful, it made both of us whimper slightly. Both me and Xavier look at each other with shocked faces and then we both turn to see something that made our jaws drop.

This cannot be true. Was the only thing that I could think of.
