Latent: [A Werewolf Romance] Chapter 33
I'd gone back to the counter and after awkwardly explaining that I'd forgotten my room number, the woman had been kind enough to not only tell me my room, but instruct a concierge to show me to it. When I stood before the door, the boy with a full head of curls smiled down at me, showcasing a dimple on his cheek, then before turning to leave, he winked at me, leaving me staring at his tall, retreating figure. Why couldn't I be into gorgeous boys like that? I mean, I was: if Gerad Justin was any indication. But apparently fate knew better--or less--by shackling me with a brooding man I could barely stay a day without mentally cursing at. Sighing, I pushed open the door and was instantly met with a shirtless Vaughan. Well, goodbye sanity. Muscles bunching and flexing with strain, he stopped what he was doing when he spotted me. Straightening, he muttered, "Took you long enough." And just like that my earlier anger came rushing back

My eyes were teased open by bright sunlight. When I opened them, I groaned, feeling groggy and disoriented. I snuggled into the warm skin beneath m--I shot up, staring down at piercing grey eyes, my hand flying to my gaping mouth. In a split second I scrambled away from him, landing on my feet. I instantly put some space between us.Eyes wide, I stared at him, waiting for him to castigate me.His husky morning voice wafted through my ears as he said, "At least someone had a good night sleep."Taming my disorderly hair, I stuttered, "Y-yeah, well I--"His eyes flashed yellow, his tone dropping to dangerous notes. "Don't...try that again next time."My mouth opened and closed. "It wasn't like y--""Don't," he grated out. "I could have hurt you."Startled at the concern in his voice, I fell qui

Opening the door to the room, I was met with a pissed Vaughan.He drew drew closer to me, then bent so his eyes were the same level with mine. "Where were you?" he asked lowly."Out looking for clues on where the vampire might be," I answered.His eyes flashed yellow, his nostrils flaring. "Damn it, Hilda! We're not safe. If the vampires are planning to war with our kind, they're sure as hell going to keep the main figures in sight. Which includes you, Hilda. You're not a shewolf of the Stillmoon pack anymore, you belong to Beastclaw now. And under the recent circumstances, this makes you a prime target."Holding his gaze, we stared each other down at length, until I said. "Hiding away won't solve anything.""Being careless won't, either.""I wasn't being careless! If anything I was helping!"He folded his a

My mind whirled with a million thoughts as I coated my lips with red lipstick. One was, what if the vampire wouldn't come to the party today? What if they knew we were on to them? Turning my face sideways at intervals, I checked that my two winged eyeliners matched. And who was the person letting the vampires into the pack?Satisfied, I turned away from the mirror and grabbed my silver studded clutch. On my way out of the closet, I paused when my phone pinged.Swiping it, I saw it was a text from Robyn. 'Any lead on the vampire yet?'It took a while before I texted, 'Yeah. Apparently they've been going around killing people. I don't think keeping a low profile is high on their list... (Pun unintended.)'For a short moment, I stood there waiting to get a reply. When one wasn't forthcoming, I put my phone back into the clutch and closed it, exiting the walk-in room.

As we drove into the night, the speaker gave off directions to The blooms courtyard.Putting the last curl in place, I asked, "I wasn't able to reach April Thorne, were you?"He shook his head, saying, "No. Her line kept going to voicemail."A sigh escaped me. "There goes our plan of buying our way in.""Don't worry, I'll think of something," he assured. __ My mouth gaped open in shock while watching Vaughan drag the couple's unconscious forms back into the car they came in."This," I hissed. "Was your plan?Just shortly after coming here, we'd parked at a corner in the spacious lot. Vaughan had come out the car to briefl

I felt solid warmth behind me and turned, the smell of cinnamon filling my nose.Ever so perceptive, Vaughan took note of something on my face and became alert. "Is anything wrong?""No, no," I was quick to reassure him. "It's just"--I turned to face the auctioneer--"that necklace...""What about it?"I locked gazes with him. "I need to get it."Vaughan looked at it, his eyes calculative. People continued to bid loudly, "Ten million!""Ten point three!""Ten point five!""Twenty million," came the cool voice above me.My head snapped upwards and I widened my eyes at him disbelief. "I didn't mean you should pay for it!" I whispered harshly.He looked down at me, mildly confused. "How else were we supposed to get it?""I was go

We took off running into the main hall.Inside was a mad house. In a bid to run out of the room unscathed, shrieking men and women overturned tables filled with food and drinks, shattering glasses and spilling colourful liquids all around."Look out!" Vaughan pulled me to him when a huge man slid on the wet tiles and came hurtling towards my direction, arms flailing, mouth opened wide in a yell.While the crowd ran away from the source of the scream, I and Vaughan ran towards it, speeding into a corner that led out back. Far off into the night, we spotted two people struggling. A thin woman against a giant of a manMy blood ran cold when his fangs extended and he sank them into her neck to her loud shrieks. She soon fell limp in his arms, and the man, injured, hobbled towards his car. Vaughan started to run then, changing into his wolf mid air.Just as the vampire made a hasty reverse with his car, Vaughan's wolf landed on the windscreen, eli

Vaughan tore his gaze away from the road to throw me a quick glance. "What do you mean?""There was this other girl at the warehouse," I explained, confused myself. "When she'd looked at me I felt this... I don't know, some sort of familiarity. As if some part of me had recognized her as another Link."He continued to drive, digesting it all in. He suddenly let out a heavy sigh. "If that's true then you know what this means.""What?""We've achieved nothing.""Oh," I said absently, leaning back defeatedly in my seat. "But we could go back, there's st--" the plan that'd been forming in my mind died. With a deflated sigh I said, "Except they'll change their locations after today.""No," he said."No?" I asked."They won't do that," he said, easing into another lane."Well, why?"

[Dedicated to Hermes and KLH♥] __ (seven years later...) Vaughan made to approach me, but was intercepted by a bunch of running, squealing werewolf children, causing him to loose his balance a bit. He precariously steadied himself, hands clutching at the tiny legs around his shoulders. I giggled openly, which led to him shooting me a glare, and then a heated look that promised some punishment tonight. I reacted instantly, breaths slowing. The little hand in mine tightened, making me glance down. My five year old son, Zach, looked up at me, saying, "Mum, I wanna go play with them." He pointed ahead. Looking up, my gaze landed on a group of male werewolves around his age running around the wide lawn. Grownups wove their way around the excited mass, carrying with them heavy bags containing party stuffs. The jamboree organized by my residential firm was in full swing, and everyone was having the time of their lives. Every homeless werewolf under my care. My heart swole. They'll neve

The heady smell of flowers filled my nose as I came to.On blinking open my eyes, I realized I was in a bright garden straight out of a fairytale. Vibrant green surrounded me and the melodious chirps of birds filled my ears.The garden seemed to exude a peaceful mien, and serenity slipped into me, calming my nerves tremendously.Standing, I looked around, walking along the path filled with vines and scrambling badgers. "Hello?"Where was I? I wondered internally as I walked on. My head whipped around at sound of leaves rustling.A woman who could've easily been the most beautiful in the planet approached me.As she drew nearer, I realized in surprise that her features alternated between several others. One second her eyes were green, the next moment they were a striking amber. One second her hair was midnight black, and the next they were gleaming blonde. But in all, her face maintained one look, if that even made sense."Who are you?" I breathed out.Her voice seemed to fill every por

Breaking out of the forest, I ran into a hunter. When he rose his pistol to strike me, I grabbed his hand and twisted, flipping him over. Still holding onto him, I kneed his face multiple times until I felt his hand go slack in mine.Breaths heaving, I continued on, tearing another hunter away from a bleeding werewolf and punching her with the heel of my palm. She staggered backwards and when she regained her footing, she feinted right and threw a punch at me, catching me off guardIt landed square on my face, knocking me down on my butt. She drew her arm back again, but I caught it in my grip, headbutting her so she staggered away, falling.When yet another hunter came at me, I focused my gaze on him, twisting his arm backwards until I heard a snap and he toppled down, landing on the werewolf the female hunter had been attacking.The werewolf shifted into its human form now and I saw it

Before we arrived at the huge clearing the next day, trackers were sent to the venue to scope it out and ensure there were no traces of Vladimir's men or pitfalls.The air bit into my tight skin, making chills that weren't entirely from the cold slide down my spine. I sucked in a breath, looking around me. We were all set.At one section of our large, formidable assembly were werewolves that had shifted into their beasts. Protective armors were strapped around their intimidating forms, and so were the ones of the werewolves that had yet to shift. I flexed my gauntlet, feeling the leather abrade my hands.Vaughan had stationed numerous werewolves around me, so much so that I couldn't look straight ahead without rising on my toes. A low murmur rose in the crowd and I rose on my toes now to see what had incited it.The fey had arrived. They seemed to step out of an invisible portal, until there was a whole army of them.Their pristine blue robes were

Some Elders, along with a bunch of werewolf enforcers, were sent out to the fey dimension, and before evening we received word back. They were going to honour the pact.The rest of the day was spent training rigorously, and welcoming Alphas from different packs along with their warriors.The evening sun glistened on the bare backs and corded arms of the training warriors. Vaughan stood before them, shirtless. His muscles flexed deliciously as he practiced, sweat sliding down his toned abs--"Focus, Hilda," the Seer said for the umpteenth time.I snapped my attention back to her, smiling apologetically. Robyn sat a distance behind her, spooning some ice cream into her mouth. She winked at me understandingly. Fighting a blush, I focused on the matter at hand, lifting a particularly large boulder."Focus." The Seer's tone was calm. "Search within you for your strength and channel it, shape it, control it..."Taking in a deep breath, I outstretc

That afternoon, whatever potion Vladimir had given the warriors wore off, and they bustled around the frantic hall now, readying for battle.The atmosphere was charged with a fear so palpable it seemed to contaminate everyone.Even now, as I looked out the high windows of my room, I felt apprehension settle in my chest. It heightened when I replayed Vladimir's last words to me. Maybe the demons were part of his alliance.And asides that, he had made mention of his Link? I briefly wondered what exactly Ines's abilities were, the image of the warehouse collapsing clear in my mind. The Seer had said she'd play an important role in the war.Propping my elbows on the sill, I released a sigh, listening to Vaughan shrug into his clothes.Before heading out, he came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, placing a long kiss on his mark on my neck.

"Yes, it's me." Her voice sounded rushed, panicked. "Hil, there's something you need to know."I let out a shocked breath. "I thought you were dead!" Vaughan instantly threw me a glance, his gaze questioning.She exhaled impatiently. "Well, technically I am. But that's not the point!" She sucked in a breath. "Did you put Jim at the gates?"My brows furrowed in confusion. "What?""Jim. I asked if you put him at the gates. If you did, then you guys better head back to Beastclaw now!"I sat up straighter. "What? Why?""He's the one who told the vampires our pack's location in the first place. And if my guess is correct, he's gone to the Beastclaw pack to play spy for the vampires and let them in as well."Blood rushed out of my face. "Why would he do that?""It's a long story, but you've got to go back now! Don--oh no, he's coming.""He? Who i--"The line abruptly went dead. I stared down at my phone, a mixture of sh

As we neared the warehouse, the prickling sensation filled me once again, and I had a suspicion that if I followed my instincts it'll lead me straight to the Link.A suspicion I tested as we bursted into the warehouse, and into a coven of vampire lackeys in the process.Immediately, they attacked, their movements a bit slow due to the fact they were just newly turned.Vaughan changed into his wolf with a roar, throwing his weight into the herd, clawing out hearts and biting off heads--literally.Vampires approached me, their eyes glowing a frighting shade of red. I pointed my gun at them and shot blindly. Some went down, some just shrugged off the bullets, flying towards me with a dangerous speed.When claws dug into my shoulders, I let out a scream, my pistol clattering to the floor. Vaughan was at my side immediately, jumping the vampire until they both landed on the dusty ground, rolling roughly until their backs were coated in dust.In one lethal move, Vaughan dug his canines into

Feeling sore, the next day I awoke to see grey eyes fixed on my neck with an unnerving intensity.A knuckle slowly ran down the side of my face. "You're awake," he said softly.With a yawn, I said, "Yes, Sherlock." It was a mercy I'd even managed to sleep at all, what with Vaughan's insatiable appetite. An involuntary blush warmed my cheeks at all we'd been up to last night, and his sharp eyes drew on it like a magnet.His gaze lit with amusement and something darker. "A penny for your thoughts?" he asked."How about a treasure chest full of diamonds instead?" I asked, pushing off the bed."I could arrange that," he said, following along as I went into the shower.When I made to shut the door in his face, he stopped my actions with a foot. He rose a brow. "I like to save water around here."With a roll of my eyes and a reluctant curl of my lips, I opened the door wide, letting him in.Then we proceeded to shower together, but not before he backed me up against the wall and did wicked
