"RUN!"

I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me.

I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running.

I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house.

Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that

    Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could

    Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,

    Ryder's P.O.V That girl will be the death of me still. What have I gotten myself into? Thinking of simpler times I tried to get everything into the little cottage that will be me and Mary's home for the next month or two before we would need to move on while also trying to finish the breakfast before she woke up. She never understands that I am doing this for her, to keep her safe from everyone and everything. At least that is the excuse I use whenever she asks me. I painted this picture of a group of bad men that are following us and that they want to take her away from me to somewhere where she would be sad. It's been working so far but I do for a fact know that I would need to get a better story together because as she gets older she will be asking more intelligent questions and won't be falling for this stupid story anymore. All she wants to do is go out and play and make friends but I can't risk anyone seeing and recognising her for who she really is. One would think that

    Getting Mary and everything back in the car really wasn't as easy as I thought it would have been with everything still mostly packed as we hadn't gotten to the unpacking part as of yet. It had taken a little more time than I had wanted it to take but we were still able to leave before any wolves showed up. Keeping my eyes in the rear view mirror I saw some shadows of wolves just as we were turning from the dirt road onto the paved road. I hope and pray to the Moon Goddess that they do not give chase and just let us leave peacefully and without a fight. I might not have seen anyone following but being on the run for the last five years have definitely taught me that not seeing someone following doesn't mean that they aren't following behind you. I drove around taking random turns and making random stops just to be sure that I wasn't being followed and that they had just wanted to install a false sense of security by staying a little back making me think I

    Mary's P.O.V I woke up way before we arrived at the bed and breakfast last night. I just saw how worried dad was and how not worried his eyes were when he saw me sleeping and save so I pretended to sleep all the way there. I don't know who these bad men are and daddy doesn't want to tell me the story but when I see how afraid dad is that makes me really scared because dad is this big tough man and him being scared means that the bad men have to be even bigger and badder than daddy. I was kinda scared when he got out of the car after he stopped and left me alone in the car to go into the store but I'm a big girl and that means I can't be scared of stuff like this. I have asked daddy if I could train with him but he said that I am still to young for all of that and that when the time comes he will start my training. I really try and be the best girl I can be as to not put any extra stress and worry towards dad because he already has. Somet

    I woke up quite early despite what had happened last night and didn't feel like I needed any more sleep so I decided to wake daddy up by launching an all out tickle fest on him. He loved to do it to me so why should I let him have all the fun when I can also have some fun.To say my plan didn't work would be an understatement. He hadn't even moved and when I sighed and got on him so I could reach his most ticklish arms he had me in a tight bear hug making me giggle when he started tickling me back just as much as I had tickled him when I wanted to wake him up.Not wanting to get up and daddy still holding me close and cuddling me we just laid in bed until my stomach growled loudly.Daddy started poking me in the stomach asking if I was hungry. His poking made me giggle again but I still managed to do a yes nod with my head telling him that I was indeed hungry. Daddy started tickling me again before he told me to get dressed so long and to meet him do

    Ryder's P.O.V I don't think that Mary was too interested in the going to school idea. She smiled and agreed but her face really didn't show that she was too happy. I don't mind teaching her everything that she does need to know but the social interaction would be great for he especially because she doesn't get to really talk to anyone at the moment. As promised if she finished her dinner she got her ice-cream. It looked so nice and refreshing so I stole a few spoons making her giggle and be mock angry at me for stealing her ice-cream. She really can't stay mad at me because on the way home I gave her a piggyback and that instantly cheered her up and made her smile and laugh for me again. I love how her mood just changes from one extreme to the next in literally a speck of time. I decided that with it being her birthday next month that I would slowly start easing her into telling her about us being werewolves and that hopefully I could get he

We are really blessed to have had her after struggling for years and having quite a lot of miscarriages. I was ready to give up and live with the fact that we would not have any children of our own and I know Zach was really sad because of this.We both decided that we would be trying one last time and then our miracle little Mary was born without any complications or problems. The morning of her birth was the most stressful and funny day in my life.

    Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared.I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story.Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my

    Unknown's P.O.VWe had just finished dinner and were walking back to my place where I had plans for the lovely lady that was so willing to accompany me on this date tonight. Little did she know that she would not be seeing her beloved cat again after I am finished with her.Taking them out for dinner and getting the drunk and soft makes it easier for me. Also, you know slipping something into a drink here and there has also never hurt anybody, well except for the girls of course. Blood from a willing victim just tastes so much better than blood from someone struggling. The fear that courses through it just adds a weird aftertaste that I have learned that I do not care to taste when I need to refill my energy levels.I mean I could always just use my powers of persuasion on them, drink my full and let them go with them not remembering anything but where is the fun in doing that? I have more than just hunger needs that I have to fulfil and in any case

    Mary's P.O.V I didn't think that I had missed as much as I had missed while I was out but by listening to the story that Dora was telling me I did in fact miss a lot. We were even at the second location since the attack that dad was sidestepping the whole time. To be honest I felt better than what I remember feeling the last time with the doctor and his wife. I don't feel so scared and weak as I did with them and since I woke up on my own without the screams ringing through the whole room meant that hopefully, the nightmares would also not be present this time. Maybe it was the fact that I was older and understood more of what was going on in the world or maybe because in my heart I had started making peace with the fact that I was not normal and that the other people in my family were also not normal. I mean my dad can turn into a werewolf at will and Dora has this weird relationship with plants and little creatures. She also collapses when peopl

    Dora's P.O.V Ryder left to go and make sure that there would be no werewolves here that would cause us trouble before he signed the lease for the house he had gotten us. The fact that we would only be able to occupy it in a few days because the owner said she was still getting it ready for renters was making me uneasy. I mean Ryder said that he had booked this place a while ago when he was working out the plan ahead of time so she knew there were people coming here to rent it so she could have made sure that she had it all ready before now. I just found it strange that she didn't make sure that the place would be done and ready when she had gotten the rent request from Ryder and accepted it from her side. It made me suspicious and I shared these with Ryder before he left and he said that he would check it out and make sure before we jumped to any conclusions. I agreed but that didn't mean that I would sit back and let him do everything on his own. I had my own ways of finding out i

    I honestly don't know what I did to anger the moon goddess because she did not listen to my prayers. We had not gotten far away before the three were on our tails again. This time, they weren't being safe around Mary anymore, and they were doing whatever they felt was necessary to get her from the car. I didn't have the time to look back and make sure that she was safe and not scared out of her mind because one wrong move on my part could send us all to an early grave, if not lifelong imprisonment. They had shifted and were chasing us in their wolf forms, bumping against the car every once in a while, biting at the tyres making me swerve before getting back control. I could barely keep the car on the road as it was but with the nipping and everything, they were making it a lot more challenging to keep it steady. Just when it looked like they were backing off, one of them managed to get a good enough bite into the tyre and have it run flat. Not being able to continue with the flat

    Ryder's P.O.V Hearing the crunching leaves and breaking branches alerted us that someone was coming and that they were coming fast. I knew it was not the people after Dora because she would have been incapacitated by now with how close they were to us. I knew it had to be either the rebellion or the royal guard. I didn't want Dora or Mary to be here to find out who it was along with me, so I had them go along to the car for so long. I could see Mary struggling to listen to me, and I had to force her gently to go along with Dora to the car, but it is for the best and for her best. If they would find her here with me they would have dragged her back after they had killed me and Dora and made her do their bidding if it was the rebellion and if it was the royal guard they would have done the same except they would not have dragged her back but they would have taken her back to her parents if they were still alive. After she had disappeared, they had closed off, and nobody had seen them i
