-MILA-"What's wrong?" Selene screamed in my ear.I shook my head, I didn't feel much like telling her what the bartender had told me.I wasn't quite ready to admit that Lobo may have had some involvement in the murders.She shimmied her way onto the dance floor while I stayed near the bar. My mind was racing over the new information I learned and I wasn't sure how to process it."What are you doing here?"I spun to see Lobo glowering down at me. I remained silent but yelped when he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me away."What are you doing? Let go of me!"He shoved me into a wall in the hallway leading to the toilets. It was a lot less noisy here."What are you doing here?" He repeated."I came out with Selene. Not that I need to explain myself to you."He looked back towards the club before turning to me again, "This place is not the sort of place you want to be in. It's not safe.""Really?" I placed my hands on my hips, "Is that it? Or are you worried that I'll find out you were
-MILA-After yet another lecture from Lowell, I went to sleep.But I woke up when it was still dark out. I took a shower and got dressed. I couldn't fall back to sleep no matter how much I tried to. I sent Lobo a text before getting into my car. I had been thinking over what he said about his mate and wondered what he meant when he said he had found his mate. But I couldn't worry about that all day so I let him know where I was going to be in case something went wrong.I was going to inspect the wooded area where the bodies turned up.By logic, it was a stupid idea, but I wasn't focussing on logic. I needed to find out if Lobo was actually the killer before Selene got herself too involved with him.I would hate if something happened to her, she was my best friend for so many years. We were practically family now. By the time I pulled up at the woods, the sun was beginning to rise.I tucked my phone into my pocket and locked my car.It was a little chilly out, so I was glad I was wea
-MILA-"Where are you going all dressed up?" Lowell asked as he walked into the room.I was standing in front of the mirror fluffing my hair up."I'm not even dressed up, babe." I was wearing black jeans, a grey tank, and a black jacket. "You're wearing make-up." He pointed out."Yeah, I'm going out with Selene. But it's nothing major, just a little get-together."He nodded but I could see the suspicion in his eyes. I turned to him, "What is it? You don't look too happy about this.""I'm not," he leaned against the door frame, "It feels like we barely spend any time together these days. I miss us, you know?"I sighed and went over to rest my hands on his shoulders, "I know what you mean. I could stay home with you tonight?"He shook his head, "No, I have to go in to work. Maybe we can do something this weekend? We need to spend more time together.""I'd like that," I said with a smile.He kissed me softly on my cheek, "Have fun tonight. But be careful."I nodded before walking out.
-MILA-I jumped to my feet, almost falling over as I put distance between us."Lobo... I can't." Even as I spoke the words it was difficult for me to stop myself.It was a rather strange feeling, logically I knew this was wrong, but it felt right in my soul.Lobo got to his feet, "You're right. I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." He looked a little awkward and embarrassed."I should go." But I couldn't find the will to make my feet move. The invisible pull was back, keeping me in my spot."Lobo, what is going on? What is this feeling?"He looked surprised, "You feel it?"I nodded, "Yeah, well, I feel something. What is it?"He looked down, but I got a split second to see what looked like fear flitter across his face, "Nothing. It's nothing. Go home." He pushed passed me as he walked away. I stared at the alter feeling strange and upset. My heart was hurting.I sighed and walked over to it, I wasn't sure what the process was, so I crouched down in front of it.Reaching a hand
-MILA-The blood drained from my face at the sound of the shattering glass.I slowly walked toward the kitchen, peering around the door I froze in terror.A large Lycan stood in the middle of the room, at least double my size in height.I was frozen to my spot in fear, and then he turned to me snarling.Its sharp teeth bared in anger as spit dribbled from its mouth as if it was rabid."Oh, God." I turned running for the door, but the creature was faster, running on its hind legs, I was no match.I felt its sharp claws as its hand grasped around the back of my neck.I screamed out in a mix of pain and fear as he threw me across the room like I was a toy.My body ached as I hit into the wall and fell to the floor.I stared up at the monster as it loomed over me, snarling angrily down at me."What do you want?!" I screamed in terror.His only response was to snarl and growl at me."Whatever I did to piss you off, I didn't mean it. Please don't kill me." I felt pathetic begging for my lif
-MILA-I opened my eyes feeling groggy from the medicine-induced sleep I had been in.Lowell was still in the room with me."I just want to go home," I complained."I know. But they need to make sure you're one hundred percent okay before they release you."I nodded, "I know," I had a few broken ribs and a lot of bruises. My body felt like I had been knocked over by a train."We'll stay in a motel for a few days before we get a flat or something. Just until we find this guy.""Okay. That sounds fine. Will the police be around?"He nodded, "Yes, I have the patrols, but it was clear that they're no match for this guy. So, I'm having Lobo watch you too, Especially if you need to go out."I frowned, "Lobo? But you said that I needed to stay away from him.""Yes, think of this like a necessary evil. I know that Lobo is the best one for this job. He is capable of being a match for this guy should he show up again.""Okay," I sighed, "Lowell, I need to tell you something."He leaned forward
-MILA-The hospital finally released me and I sat in the passenger seat of Lowell's car."Are you going to speak to me, or are you still giving me the silent treatment?" Lowell hadn't said much since picking me up."I don't know what to say, Mila. You could have been killed."I sighed, "I know. It was stupid and I don't know what came over me, but I had this pull, like an urge fuelling me. It's been happening a lot lately, actually. I get these urges to do things I know I shouldn't do."Lowell frowned, "So you're saying that you're being pulled towards things?""Yes. That's exactly it. I don't understand it. Selene suggested that maybe it has something to do with the moon.""I've never heard of that before. I know the mate bond has that pull, but I've never heard of it being for anything else. Do you feel it toward me?"I looked out the window, "No." I had to be honest with him, but I knew I couldn't quite bring myself to tell him I felt it toward Lobo either.I just couldn't hurt hi
-MILA-"Why are you bringing me to your place?" I asked him."Well, again, you have to trust me. But you'll get it eventually. Right now, make yourself at home because it's better than a motel room.""You've got a point. But are you sure you're not just doing this so Lowell doesn't know where I am?"Lobo chuckled, "That might be part of it. But I do have something to show you, I just can't show it to you right now.""Alright." I decided not to pry as I followed him inside. Somehow, it was exactly what I would have pictured for Lobo. It was dark but cozy."How long have you lived here?""Since I came back to town. It used to be a place the family would come to. Obviously, it was a lot less overgrown back then."I glanced around the living room, frowning when my eyes found a snow-white rabbit sitting on one of the sofas."Uh, Lobo? Why is there a bunny sitting on your sofa?" I was genuinely confused by this, it seemed a little out of place and for a moment I worried that Lobo may have
