We walk into the store and all the handmade jewelry is displayed and gosh some of them are stunning. I wish I had thought to bring more pocket money to buy some things while we are here, but oh well maybe next time. I am walking near the back of the store when I hear a commotion and people start getting a little nervous and excited. My wolf is pacing in my mind as if something is wrong and I can't see Jen so I rush to the front just to see her staring off in the distance with a glazed look over her eyes and her holding onto a table for dear life. One of the patrons offers to call an ambulance, I tell them no as I hold her up gently calling her name. We are getting weird looks as you can see Jen’s mouth moving but nothing is coming out. I'm absolutely scared right now cause I know she's seeing something and from the look on her face it’s terrifying. After a few moments another patron asks if an ambulance should be called, I say no that she's okay, just having a seizure and it will stop shortly. We came up with that story a few years back when we were around normies and she had a vision. After what seems like an eternity, but was probably only a few minutes, she starts to come out of it, and goes limp in my arms. I hold her up as she takes deep breaths and tries her hardest to steady her heart.
“Are you okay? Is there anything you need?” a young girl asks, I reply no that she's trying to come out of it. One of the other patrons brings a chair and I make Jen sit. She replies “Thank you” in the weakest voice I have ever heard from her. “Let us know if you need an ambulance," the man says. I thank him and kneel in front of Jen. I’m still a little shaky myself but I try not to show it.
“Jen?” Her phone rings, startling me and I jump. Her mom is calling, I answer without a second thought “Hi momma Rose” “Bex honey, is Jenni okay? I felt it, what happened?” “I’m not sure momma, she's still coming out of it, but it must have been bad cause she's shaking and her heart rate is too high.” “Where are you girls?” “By the Parthenon” “Stay there, Your fathers will be there as soon as they can.” “Yes ma’am.” I hang up and look at Jen, “They are on their way” she still doesn't answer or look at me. Now I'm scared shitless.
I made Jen walk to the car so she could lay down as I knew she needed the rest after the vision. I was afraid to drive her anywhere because she may have another vision and if so she would need me for support. About an hour and half later, my phone rings and it's my father. I tell him which parking garage we are in and they arrive shortly after to gather us and take us home. Papa Rick, my father and Gamma Alec get us situated and we all drive home. I ride with my father in our car as Gamma Alec drives Jen and her dad home. When I know we are out of sight and I can let my release out, I start to cry. My father pulls the car over to hold me as I cry.
“Let it out hun, it's okay. You did so good hun, I'm so proud of you. You kept your cool and kept you both safe. You did so good”
His words soothe me a bit but I have never been so scared in all my life.
“Daddy I was so scared, I can't even begin to explain what that felt like. She looked terrified and I couldn't make it better.” The tears flow freely as I let it all out and pray that my best friend will never have to go through that again.
I settle down a few minutes later and we begin the drive home. I just want to get home and make sure she's okay.
We arrive at the pack house, where the Alpha, Beta and Gamma families live, just under an hour later, and I rush inside. Moma Rose is there and scoops me into her arms holding me tight as she cries, thanking me for keeping Jen and myself safe. My momma waits in the background eager to hold me. As I leave Momma Rose and fall into my mothers arms, I feel her warmth and her strength go right to me. My mother is one of the strongest women I know, and the fact that she's a normie makes it even more awesome.
There are a few normies here, or humans, married to werewolves. The moon goddess has a way of making what seems impossible become possible. My mother and father met at the community college. He said that when he saw her, a blanket of light engulfed them, he felt a pull toward her and he knew she was his mate, and he would do anything to make her completely his.
I head up stairs to Jen’s room and Papa Rick is there, he holds his hands out to me and I go to him and take the hug he so freely gives.
“You are an amazing young woman, thank you for taking care of our Jenni, and keeping yourself safe”
“You’re welcome Papa Rick.”
Usually the sign of respect is to call him Alpha, but as Jen and I grew up together and were always around each other I get the privilege to call him papa.
Dr Case, The pack doctor stands up after examining Jen and motions for Papa to leave the room. He glances at me and gives the nod that I can come too. We go out into the hallway where Momma Rose and my parents are. “This vision was a little stronger than the ones she has had before, but she should be just fine. She will need to rest up and when she is able, tell us what was in her vision.”
Dr Case looks at me, “ did she say anything?” “No ma’am, she just stood there, mouth open, looking terrified. I know that she has had these before and has just snapped right out of them, but this one was definitely different.”
Dr Case nods her head and turns to leave, “Wait! I forgot, she did say last night she felt uneasy. I told her it was jitters, maybe it wasn't?” “Tell me exactly what she said” Papa Rick said, “ She said it was an eerie feeling, like something out of a horror movie” Momma Rose, touches my cheek and kisses me on my forehead. She and Papa Rick walk with the Dr to Jens room and my mother and father come over to hold onto me.
“You need to sleep too honey” my mother says as I start to shake from exhaustion. “Okay momma” We turn on our heels and head in the direction of our wing. I hope I can sleep. My body is worn out.
BattI stare at the table looking across where Amora was sitting. My mind is a jumble. How had I not seen it? She never gave off the aura of a hunter, never acted like she was dangerous. I feel like a fool, I feel almost played even though I know I haven’t been. I sit back in my chair and rub my hand down my face, sighing as I get up and walk to the window. The shrill from my phone shakes me from my thoughts. “Yeah Onyx, what’s up?” “Your parents have arrived at the Hyatt Executive suite. Matt and I are headed there now.” “On my way, may take me 20 minutes to get there depending on traffic,” I reply in a gruff voice. “Didn’t go as you planned, did it?” “No” I reply curtly before hanging up. I run my hand through my hair and grab the back of my neck. I rang the bell for the staff to come and let them know that I am leaving and settle my bill.I arrive at the Hyatt, text Matt and make my way to the executive elevator. It opens and Matt is in the elevator. We ride up to the Executive flo
BattI stand looking out the window at the skyline contemplating my next move. We are leaving in a few days and I am not sure what to do about Amora. I feel this pull toward her, but bringing a human into this world could and more than likely would be deadly. But changing her to a vampire would be just as deadly if not done with the proper information for her at the ready. I feel that if I tell her everything and explain who and what I am to her, she will accept me, and I will have my peace, my heart will be full again and I will be able to breathe again. I have invited her to dinner at the Plaza hotel and am hoping she accepts my invite. I plan to try to make her mine tonight. I don’t want to go into battle without knowing what the future may hold, if by chance she would accept me, and become mine, then I need to know that. I pick my jacket up off my chair at my desk and head for the restaurant. I have 20 minutes before she is to meet me there and I want to be ready.As I pull up to
AgathaAfter our meeting, Matthias, Bartholomew and I went our separate ways. I felt better now having told them everything I was told to tell them, now I just needed to talk to Jurian and let him know that things were finally progressing. We were about to go to war, I would get my revenge, and Jurian would get his power. I walk back into my room and start to get ready to contact Jurian when there is a knock on my door. I push everything over a bit and head to the door only to see Onyx on the other side. This woman knows things; things I think will be bad for me if anyone else finds them out. “What do you want bitch?” I am not in the mood for her, “Just tell me and get the hell out, I have things I need to do.” “Catty much?” The grin on Onyx’ face makes me want to slap her hard. She just smirks at me and walks away. WTF was that all about. I wait a few moments before closing the door and heading back to contact Jurian. As I settle into my seat a wave of nausea hits me, and then I feel
NicolaiI walked into the kitchen to talk to Ana and see her staring out the window with tears in her eyes. I rush to take her in my arms as she starts to cry. “What happened Ana?” I hold her until I feel her shaking start to subside. “Ana, sweetheart, tell me what's wrong.” I start to pull away so I can see her face and the pain in her eyes takes my breath away. “I couldn’t get ahold of Vivian, so I called the Emerald Clan, and they told me that Luther and Vivian were killed 10 years ago, and the killer has never been found. Who would want to kill them, they were the most precious people I have ever met. I need to know who did this, and I want revenge, not just for their family and pack for us as well. They were our friends and family beyond blood.” Her face is tight with pain and anger, my beautiful bride has a mission, and whomever is responsible better pray to the god they have, because my wife won’t stop until she has avenged her friends, our family.Batt“Well, that was interest
NicolaiI watch my beautiful wife as she sits on the terrace reading her book and gently swinging while the breeze blows her light auburn hair. Her alabaster skin has a pink hue on her cheeks and around her mouth indicative of her last hunt. The hunt here is sublime as the volunteers do go out and hide from us, coaxing us to look for them and catch them to feed. There is a limit on how much we can take from each source, but they allow more than one volunteer to join for a single vampire. I turn my head to look out to the mountains, the beauty here is unmatched with the green foliage and the beautiful bluish gray skies. In the distance you can hear the bells from the Monastery on the hillside. The monks have been more than generous with their hospitality in regard to the volunteers and our privacy.Ana slams her book shut and sighs one of the longest sighs I have ever heard, causing me to chuckle. “Problems, my love?” She glances at me, her beautiful mouth ticking up into a small smile.
Agatha“Agatha!!!” I’m startled awake as I hear the voice, but see none other than Sawyer, sleeping next to me. “Agatha.” “I’m here.” “You have been taking too long, what is the issue, why have I not felt the power come? Why am I still stuck in this cage, you have failed me!” I know who this is, Jurian, my master. I start to shake as I feel him start to press into my brain even more than he already is. “I am trying, the blood suckers are taking their time, I cannot take on the wolves by myself. I need just a bit more time, I will get you your power.” “See that you do, or I will not be able to reward you with yours.” I hate when he does that, he wears me out and my body is so drained I feel like I have been drugged through a blizzard and left for dead. I look over at Sawyer, still sleeping, lucky leech. Thank the goddess he didn't hear any of that. I move to get up, I’m too wired to go back to sleep, and I need to figure out a way to make Batt hurry up and attack the pack, I need to get
