-MILA-"Lobo, wait, I need to talk to you." I ran behind him in an attempt to catch up."What is it?" He asked but didn't stop walking. "Before you have me speak to the Pack would be great." I grabbed hold of his arm and spun him to face me."What is it?" He asked, frowning down at me."I had another glimpse when Shauna asked me to see if she was going to be okay. I think we might need to keep an eye on her.""Why? Is she still in danger?""No, well, I don't know. She was sitting on a bed and crying over herbs. Something was wrong. I think she was guilty about something."Lobo looked up, his gaze going straight to Shauna who was sitting beside Betty."I'll keep an eye on her. But right now, you need to address the Pack. You have to let them know that you can see these glimpses.""And I will do that. But you keep an eye on Shauna. If she's up to something that could make her so upset, it must have been pretty bad."He nodded, "I will. Come on." He took my hand and led me toward the re
-MILA-Lobo and I walked into the police station, going straight to Lowell's office."To what do I owe this pleasure?" Lowell asked as he looked up from his desk."We want to know why you lied about the killer." Lobo went straight to the point.Lowell narrowed his eyes, "What? I don't follow."Lobo looked at me, "Would you like to step in here?"I nodded, "Yes." I launched into what I saw and how I killed the Lycan.He sighed, "What is it with you? You just can't leave well enough alone, can you?""Why did you lie?""Because I killed the real serial killer. Obviously, I can't mention that or there will be far too many questions."I glanced at Lobo with pursed lips, hoping he wasn't buying into this nonsense. I didn't believe him for a second.Lobo crossed his arms over his chest, "Now, why don't I believe you? Lowell, come on. That isn't like you, why would you kill him without telling us about it?""With everything that's been going on, I didn't think you needed any added trouble on
-MILA-I was back in Lobo's car. Sitting silently while he drove, my eyes staring blankly out the window, watching the trees whirl past."You haven't said much. Are you okay?" He asked."I don't know," I replied honestly. I wasn't sure if I was okay or not at this point. I wasn't even sure I understood any of what was going on. "So, are you going to say anything?""Right now? Nope, I'm not saying anything." "Why not? I feel like this constitutes saying something."I shrugged, "Probably. But not right now. Right now I'm processing.""You haven't even looked at me."I turned to look at him, "There, I'm looking.""You're terrified of me, aren't you? You think I'm a monster.""Baby, I was terrified of you before I knew any of this.""Are you trying to be funny?""No, I'm being honest. I was scared of you before, I don't think this makes me more scared of you."He nodded, "But it hasn't helped anything either?""I don't know. I'm finding it hard to wrap my head around this. I've known ab
-MILA- We walked into the warehouse. I turned my nose up at the thick layer of dust and sand covering the ground."Really? He couldn't keep the place clean?""I don't think housework is on the top of his list right now, Mila."I looked around the bare area, "Do you smell anything?"He turned to me with a frown, "Do you?"I shook my head, "No. I don't think my sense of smell has heightened at all. Maybe it only works when I'm in wolf form?""No, it should work in human form too. It will probably get better with time."I leaned back against the wall, "Okay. So I'll stand over here, while you go sniffing around."Sighing, I leaned my head back against the wall and gasped. Another glimpse. I saw Lowell walking around the room, he looked like he was nervous about something. On edge. He was on the phone, talking animatedly. And then it was gone."I just got another one of those glimpses. I saw Lowell walking around on the phone."Lobo frowned, "You're getting glimpses without touching an
-MILA-I walked into the Pack grounds after my lunch with Lowell, in one hand I held the cardboard coffee cup, and in the other the box containing the piece of cake I brought back for Lobo."Where were you?" Betty asked as she fell into step beside me."Out.""Yes, but where? You're supposed to be with your Pack right now, not off on your own accord."I barely looked at her, "Betty, I'm doing this for the Pack, okay? Don't worry about it.""Don't worry about it? Are you kidding me? How can I not worry about it?""Where is Lobo?""Off sulking probably."I smirked at that, "I'll talk to you later, Betty. I need to see Lobo now." I walked away from her. After spending so much time pretending to be nice to Lowell, I didn't have it in me to be civil to Betty too.I spotted Lobo sitting by the stream."Hey, have you been sitting here all day?"He looked up with a smile, "Yes. How did it go? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He got to his feet."Do I look like he hurt me? I'm fine. And I don't
-MILA- The hospital was cold and I hated the smell of it. I always hated hospitals, and my last few frequent visits made it all worse.I held my arms close to myself as I stepped into the elevator. Lobo was outside in the parking bay waiting for me to get back. It helped to know he was here, but I was still nervous.I stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor until I cot to the room Candace was in."Hi," I walked in, noticing that Lowell was nowhere to be seen."Mila, how are you?" Candace smiled as I walked over to her."I should be asking you that question. How are you feeling?""I'm much better. I'm getting released tomorrow.""I'm so sorry I did this to you.""I know, honey, you don't have to worry about that. Lowell explained everything to me, I know you had no control over yourself.""I nodded, "Yeah. But I still feel terrible that I put you in here," I glanced around, "Where is Lowell?"Candace shrugged, "I have no idea. He called me a little while ago to let m
-MILA-"What is going on?" I asked as we walked into the Pack grounds.The wolves were a blur as they battled with other wolves."Get to safety," Lobo instructed as he morphed into his wolf form before running into the mix of things."Okay," I looked up at the sky, "I know there isn't a full moon, but some help would be great right about now." Of course, nothing happened.I had no idea how to change at will, so I stood there for a few moments trying to concentrate on it, but nothing happened.A wolf knocked into me and I landed on the ground, pain shooting through my body.And I realized that anger seemed to be a trigger for the change because I felt the pain rise up moments before my bones began to pop and fuse into that of the wolf creature.Once again, I was overtaken by anger, a mere figment of my human self. But this time it was directed at the strangers. In this form, I knew who my wolves were, and I knew who I was fighting to protect.I ran at a wolf who was on all fours, he wa
-MILA-Lobo was meeting with Lowell to discuss the attack on the Pack the previous night while I stayed at the Pack grounds.There wasn't much to do, but I sat with Betty and Shauna going over ideas to get back into the good graces of the humans.None of us wanted to live being shunned from the lives we were once used to, and the news was traveling fast not to trust us. Soon, there would be nowhere left for us to go.We would have no choice but to hide in the shadows."I don't think they will ever trust us again after everything.""Yes they will,' I insisted, "We just have to gain their trust again. We can't expect it to happen overnight.""And how do we do that?" Shauna asked.I shrugged, "I have no idea. We could start by doing acts of good. It will show them we want to help."Betty scoffed, "How? They don't want us anywhere near them, Mila.""I know that. But we have to do something to gain their trust," I thought back to Lowell's claims, "And I might have just the idea to do it."
