"I brought you here because you're my mate." "mate?" I ask incredulously. "yes. and I plan to make sure that you remain here, Tammy. Even if you try to run away from this, I will keep bringing you back every single time." Tammy, an orphaned nurse, is a normal girl with a normal life, but everything is turned upside down when a sick patient is brought into the hospital she works at and she is put in charge of him. it is almost time for the night of the full moon, and the wolves of skyline pack, sparing the family of pack leaders, are getting sick and dying off slowly. this has happened since the witches curse twenty six years ago. the soon to be alpha, Adam Grayson, goes to visit a member of his pack, who was admitted to the hospital. he unintentionally makes contact with Tammy, the nurse watching over the pack member. and coincidentally, she turns out to be his mate, whom he had been searching for for eight years. Adam asks that Tammy comes to work for him, a way to get closer to his totally clueless mate, and to help his pack. Tammy is reluctant at first, but eventually agrees. while she works in the pack's health facility, she begins to experience strange occurrences, and secrets from years ago begin to unfold which stands as a threat to Tammy and Adam's life together.
View MoreTammy's POV I tried thinking up reasons why my grandad would have such a cryptic book, and none of them seemed to make any sense to me. And if that was the book he used to read me, why aren't there any proper wordings on it? How was he able to read it. The only person I was able to think of who can provide even a few answers to my questions, is Grandma Shannon, Papa's old friend. Which is why I'm taking a walk to her bookstore, in hopes that she would provide me with some answers. I walk into the dimly lit store, and the musty scent of dry wood and old books envelopes me immediately, making me feel a bit at home. I smile to myself as I move to the front desk, my mind flooded with the memories of the afternoons I spent here as a child. This place used to be my haven, as I did not have friends back then. I used to help Grandma Shannon organize the books, and sometimes she let me go home with a book or two. "Tammy!" Grandma Shannon greets as I approach her, rising from her
Tammy's POV "Where is it?" I mutter, rummaging through the pile of books on the ground, hoping to find the book with the symbol. I woke up at the crack of dawn, with finding the book as the first thing on my mind, and it's been hours since I started searching, but to no avail. If anything, I managed to find that papa had a large collection of books, and he also stored my books from fourth grade. I had shed a few tears upon discovering them, and went back to my missionI groan in frustration, tugging at my hair. I could have sworn I kept it among these ones. How is it that every other book - relevant or irrelevant - is here, save for the one I actually need? Or maybe papa threw it away?Closing my eyes, I think back to the time when we were gathering our things from the old house, to move into this one. I try recalling if papa had burned any books, but nothing of that sort comes to memory. The only thing that comes to mind is him burning my nana's old diary, which he claimed was u
Adam's POV "Father," I greet, stepping into the light of my father's room. My father turns to face me, his arms held together behind his back. "Adam. I had expected you to be here sooner." He had summoned me earlier, but I wasn't able to come immediately. I went for a walk in my human form during the early hours of the morning, before letting my wolf, Thane, out for a run. The walk was intended to help me clear my head of doubts. After seeing Tammy last night, and the way she looked so unbothered about everything - not that I want for her to be bothered - I was filled with the thought that she'd decline my offer. I couldn't resist the urge to see her, so I went to where she lives. Luckily, she came to stand by the window and I was able to catch a glimpse of her before I left. Realizing that I had drifted off in thought, I clear my throat and then respond. "I'm sorry, father. I was on a run when I got your message. I got here as soon as I could," I explain. He nods his head and
Tammy's POV I wake up with a start, my heart racing and my sheets drenched in sweat, as though I had just ran a marathon. I lay in bed, limply, trying to catch my breath and calm my racing heart.Beads of perspiration line my forehead and I struggle to overcome the effects of the nightmare I just had that left me feeling like I was experiencing it in reality. As I sit up and swing my legs over the side of my bed, I notice the darkness of the room, with the only light source being the little rays trickling into my room from the street lamps and headlights of cars that are driving by. I must have slept off at some point in my search, and just happened to sleep through my afternoon. I sit in silence, trying to recollect fragments of the dream. I ran through the woods, and a female voice kept crying out to me, urging me to go faster. A particular sign on some of the trees catches my attention - an eye with an inverted triangle in the eyeball. It glowed whenever I passed by. While I r
Tammy's POV I close the front door of my house with a sigh, sliding down it and letting out a huff as I bury my face in my palms. As I try to shake off the feeling of unease, I realize I need to take action. I left the cafe feeling even more drained than I did when I got there. The encounter is still fresh in my mind, and I'm torn between helping out the mystery man's people and avoiding him and the mystery surrounding him.An idea strikes me, that has me jumping up from my place on the ground and scrambling around to find my laptop, as I'm determined to uncover more information about the mystery man. After a few minutes of searching, I finally find the laptop in my room, under a pile of clothes on my beanbag chair. "How did it even get here?" I chuckle, picking it up and turning it on as I move to sit on my bed.I open a browser and begin typing to search for the mystery man, but then it hits me that I don't even know his name or any means of finding out who he is. I jog my memo
Tammy's POVI walk into the coffee shop, my head pounding and my breath ragged from my run. I should have opted for coffee before going for a run to get me completely awake and energized, but I guess it's too late for regrets now. I order a large cup of black coffee and take it to go sit by a booth close to the large window. Covering most of my face with the hoodie of my tracksuit jacket, I slide down my sit, taking pathetic slurps of my coffee. I chose this booth because it gives me privacy, and I get to people-watch without the people having a clue that they're being watched.I let my mind wander, going to the times when my grandad was still alive. It's almost time for his death anniversary and I'm already starting to miss him so much. If when he was still alive, we used to go on early morning runs together, and afterwards grab coffee at McDonald's. I haven't stepped a foot in that place since he died. Besides, I don't even miss the coffee there that much anyway. It's nothing, c
Adam's POV I go to stand by my window, looking out to the vast spread of trees around us. The moon hangs low in the sky, casting a dewy haze over the surrounding forest. During normal times, observing the moon this way brings me a sense of calm, but I can't help but be filled with worry and unease for my people, as the time for the full moon is fast approaching. The full moon which should be something to be celebrated by werewolves, is a time that fills members of my pack, the skyline pack, with fear and trepidation. The curse on our pack, tied to the full moon, has already began to rear its ugly head, claiming the lives of five members of my pack already in just a day. My father, the alpha, has gone to witches to see they can reverse the curse, but despite their efforts, it only seems to grow stronger. I fear that if it isn't revoked soon enough, it would lead to all our demise.Taking the sick ones to the hospital isn't an option, as they might manifest signs that are abnormal t
Tammy's POV How did he manage to close the distance so quickly? I could have sworn he was at least six feet away when I reached my car, but now he's right beside me. This just adds to the weirdness of everything about this man. I look at his hand on mine, and then at his face. The unfamiliar feeling from earlier comes back to me, causing me to immediately pull my hand away from his and turn my body to face him. Only after turning, do I notice the close proximity of our bodies. Instinctively, I move backwards to create some distance between us. My body makes contact with the cold metal of my car, the space between us still not sufficient enough. Ignoring that, I choose to focus on the fact that he has been observing me without saying anything. It fills me with discomfort and I pull a strand of hair behind my ear and look at him, breaking the silence. "What?" I ask, a brow raised in question. "I want to speak with you," he responds.'what could he possibly want to speak to me abou
Tammy's POV "No, sir." "You say you didn't notice anything suspicious about the patient's behavior last night?" "No, sir," I repeat to the officer for the umpteenth time in an hour, starting to regret reporting the opened window of last night. He sighs. "Ma'am, I know you must be tired from last night and you most likely want to get some rest, but I'll need you to be more cooperative if you want that to happen. Your two worded replies won't suffice."He seems stuck on the opinion that I'm hiding something from him. Even if I am, it isn't something that would help him out. Putting on the most innocent act I can muster, I tell him, "I promise I'm not keeping anything from you. I've told you all that there is to know.He squints his eyes at me slightly, a disbelieving look playing on his face. "If you say so, ma'am," he replies and walks away. He glances over his shoulder at me, and I smile at him with a shrug. I should have been sleeping at home by now. But since I was the only
Tammy's POV I rejoice internally that my shift has finally ended, and begin packing up my things before I go to change back into my normal day's outfit. "Tammy," our head nurse, Mrs Roseline calls to me as I walk towards the changing room. Dread spreads through my body on hearing the tone of her voice. I really hope it's not what I'm thinking. "Yes, Mrs Rose?" I respond, crossing my fingers behind my back, as some form of prayer. "I know your shift has ended, but I'd need you to stay behind for another shift," she tells me, confirming my suspicions. Dang. Exactly what I thought and prayed against. "I don't think I can do that, ma'am. I already had plans for tonight," I say as I move my head slowly from side to side, trying to reason with her. Although, the only plan I have for tonight is sleeping. But it should count, right?"I'm sorry, Tammy, but your plans would have to be put on hold," she replies, her lips turned downwards and her expression stern.Fuck. I should have said...
