Deception

Chapter 14

She was holding your hand as she led you to a deserted part of the packhouse. Your eyes gradually widened when you heard silent chantings getting louder. She stopped and slightly peeked over the corner of the wall the both of you were hiding at. She gestured you to watch with her and slightly bent her body for you. You went over her body with your hand on her back for support and widened your eyes in shock at the scene unfolding in front of your eyes.

There was a group of six werewolves sitting down in a circle, with a symbol that looked like a six-pointed star in the middle of them, with a candle at each corner of the points. You recognized their faces, they were the rogues that had infiltrated the pack. The chants were gibberish in your ear but from the frown on Rachel's face, she knew what the chants were. Of course, she should know. The place was located at the top floor, where Rachel was residing at, and it was near the end of the hallway, just outside a storeroom.

She looked at you, trying to talk to you with her eyes but you have got no idea what she was trying to tell you. She tried mouthing the words but you still couldn't get what she was saying so you continued staring at her, trying to decipher what she was trying to tell you. Noticing your look of confusion, she grew increasingly frustrated and chanted something under her breath and went behind you. Eyeing her, you released a gasp when she pushed you out of your hiding spot, exposing your presence to the werewolves who turned at the sound when you stumbled and nearly fell.

The moment you met eyes with the wolves, you recalled the shape of her lips.

'Distract them.'

Straightening your back awkwardly, you put your hands on your hips.

"What are you guys doing here? This place is restricted."

They instantly stood up in shock and bowed their heads at your presence.

"Forgive us. We will leave right away." One of them said and you raised your eyebrows.

"What are you actually doing here? I heard you chanting a language not our own, and what's that symbol in the middle? Are you guys associated with a witch?" You interrogated as you walked towards them. Your eyes shifted from them to the symbol on the floor.

Inside the six-pointed star, you saw other small symbols but from the number of shapes and curves it had, you knew that they formed words. But it was a language unknown to you. Maybe Rachel knew but you didn't have her witchcraft knowledge to read and know the meaning of these words.

"What language is this?" You squatted down and starred at the words, trying to memorize it in your head. The symbol and words were written in white chalk and you saw a bottle of water sitting at the corner with a box of chalk.

You saw one of them moved to attack you and you immediately stood up and swiftly avoided his hand.

Using your brain to deduce the situation, you smirked when you had an inkling of what you just stumbled upon. This place was restricted, so there was no CCTV, and one of them was able to hack into the CCTVs and planted still footage so that nobody would see their movements.

"What exactly are you going to report to her now that you've been found out?" You tilted your head and asked.

Their innocent masks were instantly taken off and they were glaring at you.

"Back to plan A." One of them smirked and you sighed at that stupid idea.

They were aware of where they were right? You tried to mind link Jungkook but you couldn't find the link. What was this deja vu?

"This place is enchanted." One of them saw the confusion on your face and you scoffed.

Well, now you knew you were being screwed over, again. And Jungkook was going to be so damn pissed at you. It hasn't been a few hours since you 'compromised' with him, telling him that you wouldn't act on your own.
