I stood there, watching Raven chase after the truck with my sister in it for a few moments, contemplating what to do. Ben had said he’d be right here, but I didn’t know if there was something I could do in the meantime, like throw a fireball at the back of the truck and take the tire out. That seemed kind of risky at this distance, especially since Raven was between me and them, and the truck was almost out of sight, so I didn’t do it.
I let Sam get out of the vehicle first. It might seem like I was more powerful than him and shouldn’t have gotten out first, but he was so big and strong, I thought it might intimidate them.It didn’t.
There was no way I was letting these jerks get away with this. I needed to make sure Ben didn’t get hurt before I did anything else. I imagined that piece of metal flying at him taking an alternate route, up into the air and over the side of the road, into a field.The Parkers stopped laughing.
“What’s his name?” I asked Ben as I turned on my healing powers in an attempt to help the poor guy stretched across the ditch with half of his face missing.“Mike Davis,” Ben said, just after he told Grayson the number of the country road we were on. “He’s one of the Parkers’ friends.”
A blur of lights and sirens surrounded us as the sheriff and his deputies blocked off the road on both ends. Sam moved his truck out of the way so that they could get to the accident scene, and some of the deputies who were trained in emergency medical procedures attended to the two hurt men.I wasn’t sure what I could say to them.

Even though my pack was across the road from me, still talking to the sheriff deputies, the moment Horace Ford arrived, I could feel all three of them tense up. I did, too. My stomach muscles tightening so strongly, I thought I might vomit all over Deputy Schmidt’s boots.“Great, the old man’s here,” he muttered. I probably wasn’t suppos
Ben drove me home. I don’t think I spoke the entire way, just sat there, staring ahead. The last time I’d been in a vehicle hadn’t worked out particularly well for me, so that was part of it. Also, I was drained from working on the two injured dark wolves. Ben didn’t try to get me to talk. He just drove.
“Grayson, I think you might’ve misunderstood what Mom and Max were telling you,” I said, considering setting my cheeseburger aside to have this discussion with her since it might get heated, but I was so hungry, I kept chewing. “I’m not moving.”“Sorry, sis, but you are. We all are,” she said, defiant as usual. “I know
Have you ever had a dream so vivid and real, you’re pretty sure you must actually be there, even though it doesn’t make any sense that that’s where you’d be--like an alien planet, or the ocean when you live in the desert? In the back of your mind, maybe you know it doesn’t compute, and you think it can’t be real, but it feels so real that you think it might be?
