Chapter 14
"....He pounced on me ,I tried to defend myself but couldn't because it was strong. He wave of his strike landed on my chest and that was what gave me the mark on my chest" Luther explained and all the while he did that,he was fidgeting.
" I didn't kill her,you have to believe me" He added persuasively.
Adolpha turned to Hardulf not knowing what to really believe,Luther was the one who kidnapped Ylva with his friends but the mark on her dead body shows she was killed by a werewolf,she was killed in a manner that a werewolf would kill a mere animal.
" I remembered something,while he striked me down,he went up to Ylva and carried her on its back out,I thought he came to rescue her and also I didn't think he would hurt her because Ylva seemed comfortable with it.
" I cant really remember the name she called when she saw him but it's name started with Co.... that was when I knew it was a male.
"Co....Does Ylva know anyone with a name starting from that?" Adolpha wondered. She then suddenly remembered Connor but then discarded the thought because she knew Ylva wouldn't have had anything to do with Connor and he had no reason to kill her. The one who killed her must have had a motive behind killing her.
Adolpha suggested untying them to Hardulf since they weren't heading anywhere with the interrogation but he wouldn't have it. He believed they were hiding something but yielded with Adolpha's persistence.
Luther and Amber walked out of the cave. Amber glared at Adolpha as if she wished to strangle her that instant.
Adolpha ignored her and then resolved in her mind to see if Connor has any connection with Ylva and get to the root of the matter. She hasn't been to the office for days because she already handed in her resignation letter so she doesn't know what to do and how to know if Connor had any connection with Ylva before she died.
She left the cave with Hardulf with a plan in her mind to go see Connor in the office and ask him first.
***************
Connor lay on the bed and for the first time in weeks opened his eyes,
" Where am I? He asked just as he woke up. His grandmother pulled him back to bed as he tried to sit up
" We are with doctor James" She replied
Dr James was one of their kind as well,he was from the river wolf tribe.
He was once saved from death by Connor .A crazy old hunter who knew his secret tried to hunt him down for an experiment on the full moon. He tailed him into the forest and was about to shoot an arrow at him when Connor who was also hunting nearby saw the hunter silently walking towards James with an arrow,he appeared all of a sudden behind the hunter and growled.
The hunter unfortunately because of the sudden fear met with an arrest which led to his death.
Nana couldn't hide her excitement when she saw that he was finally awake. Ever since he got the night of the full moon he had been unconscious.
She remembered how heartbroken and scared she felt when the doctor told her he wouldn't survive the attack. She knew if it were to be human,he would have been dead.
" What am I doing here and why am I here if I don't have any scars?" He asked out of curiosity.
Werewolves heal faster than any other creature so the bruises and wound he sustained from the attack were all healed.
He felt his head with his hands and noticed it was wrapped with a bandage,a part of his head was painful when touched but he removed the bandage regardless.
His grandma,smiled and then gave a reply to his question
" You were just in a little accident don't worry "
" An accident? but why don't I remember?" He asked.
Nana remembered the doctors words again " He hit his head on a hard surface during the fight so it is possible for him to lose a little memory,but in no time he would remember because our kinds heal fast".
