-MILA-I was pacing around the motel room worrying about Lobo. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. And it bothered me that I didn't have anyone to call and talk to about this. Normally I would have called Selene or Lowell, and they were both dead.I sat down on the bed, suddenly overwhelmed by all the emotions I was feeling. I was feeling a rush of different feelings.And I suddenly realized I was mourning Lowell just as much as I mourned Selene.Despite how Lowell had been toward the end, there was a time when he was the closest person to me. And I missed that. I missed him in some way.The him he had been when I first met him, the him from all the years we spent together.After spending a few moments wallowing in self-pity, I got up and started pacing again.The door swung open and Lobo walked in. "Where were you?" I asked."I told you, I needed to go for a walk. I needed to think," he walked over to me, "I'm so sorry. The way I acted was out of line. Can you forgive me
-MILA-I sat on the balcony of the hotel with a cup of coffee in my hands. My eyes were on Lobo who was inside. He was speaking to a demon whose name I had forgotten.I could only assume that he was trying to get to the bottom of who betrayed us to Lowell because his arms were flying around animatedly.While watching them, I got an idea. I would ask one of the demons what the smoke could have been. I gave up on Lobo telling me the truth, he had no interest in discussing it. And even though he knew I wasn't buying the explanation he gave me, he wasn't budging.He turned, his eyes meeting mine. I frowned, it was almost as if he knew what I was thinking.I smiled at him, and although he smiled back, it didn't reach his eyes.He definitely knows I'm plotting something, I thought.He turned saying something to his friend and then he walked out to me."How are you feeling?" He asked."Fine. I'm enjoying this coffee. How did your talk go?""Well, I should know who's behind it by the end of
-MILA-My mouth hung open in disbelief. Lobo just threw Ronan off the balcony."Lobo!" I shouted when I came out of my surprised daze."He shouldn't have touched you.""You just killed a man because he was doing what you asked him to do. You killed him because of something I did. You can't do that!" I screeched, jumping to my feet."He was to keep you safe. Not hurt you. There are other ways to enforce rules.""Lobo, you killed him. What do you think is going to happen now? A body is laying on the ground. Do you not think someone is going to call the police?""Demon. His body has vanished."I couldn't believe how casual he was being about this."Lobo, are you kidding me? That's not the only point here. You can't just kill people.""He isn't a person. He's a demon.""That doesn't matter. You can't just go around killing people, or demons."He finally turned to me, a somewhat empty look in his eyes, "I can. If they touch you, I will kill them. Anyone."I took a step back, I wasn't sure
-MILA-I tossed and turned beside Lobo all night long. I had an uneasy feeling still.I knew Lobo wouldn't hurt me, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with him.Seeing the strange way his face changed was a big reason for it too.I hadn't mentioned seeing it happen, something told me it was better to keep that little piece of information to myself.I turned in bed to look at him while he was still asleep. I lost count of how many times I did this.I was half expecting him to have some sort of weird glitch going on again.But he looked normal.His eyes snapped open and I jumped in surprise."What's wrong?" "Nothing." It struck me as strange that he just woke up yet his eyes were bright as if he hadn't been asleep a few moments ago."You were staring at me funny."I laughed, "Sorry. I was just looking at how peaceful you look when you're asleep. It's quite the contrast to when you're awake.""You make me sound like a monster."I raised my brow, giving him a
-MILA-When Lobo arrived back at the hotel he was in a noticeably better mood than before."Did it go well?" I asked."Yes. Did you go for a walk?""No, I didn't get to it yet.""We can have a walk together? I can show you the town seeing as you haven't seen it before.""I think I'd rather stay here. I have a killer headache.""Have you taken something for it? I can go and get you some painkillers.""No, it's okay, I'm sure it will pass soon. It's probably because I haven't slept properly last night.""Are you sure? I don't mind running down to the pharmacy.""I'm okay. Let's stay in and order room service." As much as I wanted to go for a walk in the fresh air, I didn't want to risk someone doing or saying something that would make Lobo lose it.The last thing I wanted was to be responsible for an innocent person's death.I felt bad enough about Ronan.Lobo sat down, pulling me over to sit on his lap, "I have a surprise when we get back home.""Oh? I suppose if I ask you what it is,
-MILA-Lobo and I should have been celebrating our engagement, but instead, he was out with some of the Pack members, they were patrolling the Pack grounds. After my glimpse of Betty being killed, we decided to play it safelyAnd I was laying down with an excruciating pain tearing through my stomach.Betty was with Shauna in the corner of the makeshift room, while I rolled around in agony.'This smell of the damp forest is making me sick." I complained. "We need to speak to Lobo about it. We can't carry on like this. Lowell is dead, the threat is gone. The humans should be thankful to us for saving their asses again." Betty spoke in a very entitled manner.."I'll talk to him when he gets back, I doubt I'll be getting any sleep with this pain bothering me."Shauna looked over sympathetically, "The herbs I gave you for pain will begin to set in soon.""I hope so. It feels like my insides are getting ripped apart." It really did too. I had been experiencing searing pain in my stomach fo
-MILA-"We need to talk about Shauna," I said when I got into the car with Lobo."What now?""She's acting really strangely." I proceeded to tell him what I had overheard and how she acted afterward."So she's definitely up to something. When we get back we will confront her.""I think it has something to do with Betty because their friendship is more strained now than what it was. They were close at one stage, and now they aren't that close. Betty seems to be very snappy with her."He frowned as we drove away from the Pack grounds, "Do you think she has Shauna has something to do with the vision you saw of Betty being killed?""I don't know. I hope not, because we're leaving them together now, so anything could happen.""Shauna would never be so stupid to do something like that, surely."I gave him a look, "We don't know what's going on with Shauna right now, so I don't think we can know that for sure.""I don't understand why she would do something that she's so ashamed of. It's not
-MILA-The moon hung low in the night sky, casting a pale silver glow over the backyard area of the hotel room as Lobo and I stood at the edge of the back porch. The looming threat of the rogue werewolves weighed heavily on our minds, and a sense of urgency pushed us to find a solution. My heart raced as I looked at Lobo."Lobo, we can't just wait around. We need to take action," I said, my voice tinged with determination.He nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "You're right, Mila. Alpha Zeke's Pack is counting on us to find a way to neutralize the rogue threat.""We can't risk a full-on attack," I mused, my mind racing through the possibilities. "But if we could make contact with the rogue pack's leader, maybe we could reason with them. Find a way to prevent further violence and offer them a spot in our Pack."Lobo's gaze sharpened, his eyes reflecting the moon's shimmering light. "You have a point. We need to track them down and demand an audience with their leader.
