2024-10-29 19:42:56The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows across the tablecloth. Quiet music played softly in the background, only muffled by the low hum of conversation. Max and I were on our first official date. It was just the two of us at the restaurant and the word had gone out that no other wolf was to darken its door tonight.

Snuggling down into the deep couch cushions I sighed in contentment. I was warm, well-fed and completely relaxed, a feeling that had been missing since I'd received Zachary's rose. The rhythmic patter of rain on the windows was slowly helping to lull me into a peaceful doze.

The first rays of the morning sun peered through the chink in the curtains, a reminder that the day was just beginning. Groaning, I rolled over, deciding against putting off getting up, but a heavy arm dropped across my mid-section, preventing any further movement out of the bed. Grinning, I flipped over to face my captor.

They were planning. Each evening since Zachary's last 'gift' the Alpha and his top wolves would gather at the Manor to study maps of the territory and plan the next hunt. It seems that Zachary was proving to be elusive, but Jonas was determined to leave no stone unturned. Protecting me was the driving force but underlying that was the fact that the Alpha had been disobeyed.

"God I needed this." Lying back, eyes closed, I inhaled the lavender-scented air as the miracle worker behind me massaged the last of the tension from my shoulders.

Relaxation was a distant memory. Jess had decided that we now needed a day of shopping, and when she said a day she meant afullday. We'd been wandering around the mall for the last three hours and from the way Jess was talking there were at least another two nearby we had yet to visit. I wasn't generally a shopper, but Jess had been so excited I didn't have the heart to put a damper on her day.

The man beside me was too slow, he meandered through the airport as though he had all the time in the world. Maybe he did, butIdidn't. Landing back at the tiny Haven Falls airport all I wanted to do was find Max, but the nice wolf Jonathan sent back with me wouldn't be rushed and I was too polite to say anything.

The diner had always been like a second home to me. I'd worked there for years, both before and since I was bitten that night. It had provided a constant in my life when I'd needed it, it was my daily dose of normal. I valued working alongside people who simply knew me as Maggie, not as a werewolf, certainly not as a rare female wolf. At the diner I was just me, with no other identities attached.

6 months later Life with Max was...interesting. Good interesting, but never predictable. And I loved every second of it. Who knew that one of the missing pieces in my life was an arrogant, cocky, hot as sin werewolf? Letting down my guard and letting Max, and everything that came with him, in was a decision that I had never regretted. "I still can't believe Jonas has a guest house and I never knew about it." Huffing, I dropped the heavy box to the floor, glad it was one of te last. Unpacking was going to be a nightmare. "Not sure he thought you'd be interested, babe." Max waltzed in, a box under each muscled arm, not an ounce of strain on his face. "It works out well for us though." He was right. After month of long conversations and beggin on Max's part, altough he'd deny it, I'd agreed to move in together. I'd actually been ready a

Zachary was dead and I truthfully had no idea how I felt about that. In accordance with Pack law he had been executed for his crimes, with Max as his executioner. As a victim of his, and man I hated that word, I'd had the right to watch him die. I'd declined. I had no desire to see a man killed, and I really didn't want to see my boyfriend in the role of killer.

Tension was thick in the air, so heavy I was sure that even the unwitting humans could sense it. We were all in a state if high alert; watching, waiting. Zachary still hovered in the reception area, enjoying the results of his handiwork. Meanwhile I remained out of sight in the waiting room, praying that the others didn't lose track of him.

Chaos. That was the only word that got even close to describing the scene at the hospital. How many people had the psycho attacked? Worried relatives crowded the waiting room as my guards and I pushed our way through. The weight of panic pressed down on me.

The sun was sinking beneath the horizon casting a beautiful warm light across the clearing. It was an idyllic scene, one that would inspire poets and painters alike, there was no sign of the violence that was to come. This place of seeming peace and calm had been selected as the location for the fight, soon the serenity would be lost.

I was back in the woods, a place I'd been hoping to take a break from after my last trip through them. This time though I wasn't running for my life, and I was with a Pack of wolves I'd trust with my life.
Bitten Chapter 30
Another rock bit into the sole of my foot, causing me to stumble, but I refused to slow down. Running through the woods in wolf form would have been so much easier, but I wasn't able to shift back again so quickly, it took too much energy. Instead I had to rely on my less than brilliant human senses to help guide me through the wall of trees.
Bitten Chapter 29
Escape. The single word that ran through my head every hour since Zachary had announced his 'distraction' plan. All I could now think of was that I needed to get out of here and tell the Pack about it, so that they could prevent the impending disaster.
