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

    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

    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

    [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

    Present day. Alaska . The sound of someone popping their gum filled the small room. "Nope, pass," Eunice, my bossom--but no less aggravating--friend said. "How about this one?" I stifled a longsuffering sigh, holding up yet another ensemble from my closet. She casted her gaze heavenwards. "Hilda," she groaned. "You've been displaying just about the same type of clothes for the past ten hours." She was right, about the clothes. But there was one thing she was wrong about. "It's been just two hours, not ten." She leaned against the wall defeatedly. "Well it feels like it." I balled up the green top in my hands and threw it towards her direction. It landed splat on her face. "Stop being a spoilsport and come help me look for what to wear." "It'll be no use," she grumbled. Just like my entire existence. Already knowing the answer, I still asked anyway, "How so?" "Because your closet's filled with just jean shorts and T-shirts. No gowns." "No occasion's ever come up for me to we

    After I'd finished dressing up, I took stock of myself in the full-length mirror.The virginal white slipdress draped around me lovingly, molding my figure into something prim and elegant. My midnight black hair was let to cascade down my shoulders in dark waves, and my makeup was done flawlessly; my lips were a blood red, and the pearls dangling from my ears shone scarlet.Coupled with my pale skin, I probably looked like some vampire male's daydream. Couldn't be farther from the truth...I wasn't a daydream, a nightmare was more like it-- I lived in one until I couldn't tell myself apart from the demons that haunted me."You look stunning," I told Eunice, coming out of my thoughts.A curt thank you met my statement. I took it to mean she was still mad at me over our earlier disagreement."Come over let me do your hair," I offered.She replied with a short, "I can handle it.""I could do your makeup if you want."

    My mind instantly got thrown into a mindless turmoil, and my senses clogged with scents, sounds and sights of things that weren't there.The putrid smell of urine and aconite. The sweat trickling down my clammy skin. The feel of my bones melting. . . The sound of slow, approaching footsteps.A whimper filled my ears and I realized I was now sat rocking on the floor, back in Eunice's car. I tried to hang onto the present, but the memories were relentless.Like a large sea monster, it threw me back into the ocean of my spiraling thoughts, holding me down until I couldn't breathe, until I was drowning, drowning in my sea of memories. My chest constricted and a wet substance slid down my cheeks. I realized I was crying, inside the ocean?The pungent smell of urine filled my nose, and when I opened my eyes, it was to see father advancing towards me with a large syringe. The point of the needl

    I knew my fate as well as I knew I was a freak. Dad was going to fry my ass.Over the years, he'd reduced the amount of time he tortured me with wolfsbane. Only injecting me with it occasionally, and as a form of punishment.Which he would give to me if Lizzy told on me. And I was sure she would. So it was only a matter of time before he sent me down to that dank cell."Hey," Eunice called softly, speeding down the road, not minding the snow. "Are you okay?"Using my middle finger, I tucked my hair behind my ear. "Yeah, sure, why not."She pursed her lips but remained silent.I turned my face to the window, defeatedly resting my forehead on it. I stared at my reflection, my eyes were a burning teal. Yet another abnormality.Sometimes werewolves e

    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
