Chapter 195: Excerpts from History

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-05 19:06:00

"Not much," I replied with a frown.

Tyler hovered over the books. One was an ancient leather-bound volume, its pages yellowed with age and filled with hand-drawn illustrations. The text either appeared to be printed somehow, or handwritten by someone with more patience and consistency than I could ever hope to possess. It was titled A History of Lycanthropy, and it detailed some notable packs, wars and werewolf related incidents of the past.

The other book also had a leather cover, but it was much thinner and seemed to be completely different in nature to the first. From what I could tell, it was a personal journal belonging to the Alpha of The Ironwood Pack from many years ago. I wondered where they were from and whether an Ironwood Pack even continued to exist today. If they did, I had never heard of them.

Tyler leaned over the thicker book first, reading the excerpt I had marked with a Post-it note out loud:

    The drive home was quiet aside from Tyler's adamance that we talk to his father as soon as possible... as in, the second we got home. He seemed really concerned and I could feel the underlying tension radiating off of him as he stared ahead, frowning the whole way home.The thought filled me with trepidation. I agreed that we should tell Alpha David, but being in agreement with the idea hadn't suddenly filled me with the words I would need to articulate the issue to him.I mean, what was I going to say exactly? 'Hey Alpha David, I see weird things, but don't worry, I'm not crazy'?I frowned as I tried to think of a softer way to deliver the news and desperately hoped that a demonstration wouldn’t be necessary.As we walked into the house my anxiety only grew. We didn't even head to our rooms first. Tyler just dropped his bag in the entryway, then took me by the hand and led me upstairs in search of Alpha David. My heart raced with each step and my stomach twisted itself in knots.When

    The room was thick with tension as I prepared to delve deeper into the revelations about my abilities. David and Liz’s expressions were a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, their gazes fixed intently on me.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. “Well, like I said, it all kind of started at the Lunar Eclipse Celebration,” I began, trying to keep my voice steady and matter-of-fact. “At first, I didn’t understand what was happening, and eventually decided it was maybe just some weird side effect of the Lunar Eclipse or something, but then, when it happened again, I figured there had to be more to it,” I explained.David stared at me wordlessly, waiting for me to continue, so I did. "That was when Ryder started to help me. He was like, a guinea pig, I guess. A willing test subject, if you will. He allowed me to practice with him while Tyler was in classes. I eventually got an idea of what I had to do to make it happen and got a better grasp on how it worked. I guess I'm stil

    To my absolute relief, the doorbell rang announcing Shane's presence. I exhaled deeply, releasing a breath I had been holding for who even knows how long."I'll let him in," Tyler said, leaving the room once more.It felt like all eyes were on me. Staring at me and silently scrutinizing me.The room was beginning to feel uncomfortably quiet and when I heard footsteps approaching down the hallway, I was only too grateful for the opportunity to turn around, cutting off everyone's curious gazes as I awaited Shane's arrival.Hopefully he would be able to explain what I couldn't and convince David without me having to show him.To my surprise, when I turned around, Ryder had moved from the doorway and was standing just a little way behind me. His presence loomed, protective and comforting in spite of our difficulties, and I was grateful that David had called him in because I was beginning to feel like I was on some kind of trial now. Shane’s eyes scanned the room as he entered and he gave

    David looked confused and a little annoyed."Just... Just try to clear your mind, okay?" I urged, not wanting him to think of anything he DIDN'T want me to see, which would likely result in me seeing exactly that.My hand trembled slightly as I reached out once more and I closed my eyes, desperately focussing on extracting a vision of MY choice. That would hopefully limit any potential awkwardness.I felt his fingers grasping mine and I took a deep breath before opening my eyes and looking into his.Falling backward through time, I tumbled through the void feeling heavy and weightless all at once. To my surprise, I found myself in the same room, only the furnishings were different.David stood beside me, his hand gripping mine tightly as his chest heaved and he looked around in confusion.The sound of a baby crying caught our attention and my eyes wandered over to a young Liz, sitting on a rocking chair near a sunny window. She looked exhausted with dark rings under her eyes and her h

    We heard the door to the studio as it shut behind Ash and Ryder, leaving a stillness in its wake that seemed to amplify the weight of the evening’s revelations.Tyler sighed, his brow furrowed in a thoughtful frown as we remained hovering awkwardly in the entryway.“I feel bad for my mom,” he admitted, his voice barely more than a whisper.“Me too,” I agreed, the image of Luna Liz’s teary, exhausted face fresh in my mind.A heaviness settled over me like thick fog and I couldn’t shake the feeling that maybe I had gone too far. I hadn't wanted to tell them and maybe I should have just listened to my gut for once.“I really feel like I shouldn’t have told you guys,” I confessed with a miserable frown, feeling responsible for the obvious uncertainty and pain that the twins were experiencing. My chest felt compressed by the weight of my guilt, making it difficult to breathe.Tyler shook his head and forced a reassuring smile, but I could see that it was just an act for my benefit. “No, it

    Conciousness slowly began to ebb its way back to me and I reached out my hand, searching for Tyler's comforting presence. The space he usually occupied was cold and empty though.I opened a sleepy eye, sitting up to look for him. My body felt heavy and exhausted and I ached all over.As I scanned the room, a sense of disorientation settled in. This wasn’t Tyler’s room, but it was vaguely familiar. I tried to make sense of it, my mind still foggy with sleep, when a strange fluttering sensation in my stomach made me look down.I froze, my breath catching in my throat. I had a big, pregnant belly. Adrenaline coursed through me, banishing any remnants of sleepiness and panic filled me as I recognized the room from my vision.My heart raced, my breathing becoming short and ragged. “This can’t be real,” I whispered to myself, struggling to make sense of it.When I fell asleep, I didn’t look nine months pregnant. My mind whirled, trying to grasp at any logical explanation, but the panic clou

    The realization filled me with relief, but I was still apprehensive. I didn’t know exactly what I had seen, but it had felt so real and so terrifying and I was struggling to come to terms with it.“Are you okay?” Tyler asked, reaching out to touch me in a gesture of support but I pulled away instinctively.“It’s okay,” Tyler murmured again, raising his hands to show me that he meant no harm as he tried to reassure me. “You had a bad dream,” he explained.It was a dream... Just a dream.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves and calm my breathing.“Deep breaths,” Tyler encouraged me, taking a few of his own, hoping I would mimic him.I did, but it took a while to slow my frantic pace.“There you go,” he whispered reassuringly when I seemed to be calming down.I closed my eyes, leaning back against the headboard as I tried to focus on my breathing.“Better?” Tyler asked, his voice gentle.I kept my eyes closed but gave a small nod, willing myself to accept that none of it was

    The seemingly offhanded comment shook me and I almost lost my grip on my mug of tea, but somehow managed to hold onto it as I turned around to face Ryder.I was just outside the doorway to the kitchen while he remained hovering near the kettle, watching me as intently as I was watching him.I hadn't told him about the dream about the black wolf, nor did I mention that my own wolf had somehow miraculously turned black. What did he know and how did he know it?“What black wolf?” I whispered, my eyes searching his for answers I wasn’t sure I wanted."The one that ran into the door," he replied tentatively, sounding a little unsure of himself now.The words sent a chill down my spine.“But that was just a dream,” I insisted, shaking my head in denial.Ryder's expression turned to one of awe. "Dream manipulation..." he whispered quietly, staring at me as if I was some kind of otherworldly being.I shook my head angrily. “I didn’t manipulate anything, okay?!" I stated defensively. "It was a

    I adjusted my grip on the tiny, squirming bundle in my arms and smiled as a chorus of laughter echoed through the Valentine house."Could you hold her for a sec?" I asked Ryder, shifting Ava into a more comfortable position. "I forgot my phone downstairs.""Absolutely," he replied, his face lighting up as he took her from me.I had to admit, Ryder had surprised me. I’d always known Tyler would step up to fatherhood like it was his destiny, but Ryder… I thought he might need a little more coaxing along the way.To my relief, and, I'll be honest, surprise, that hadn’t been the case at all.Ryder had embraced fatherhood like a natural. Late-night feeds? He was right there with me. Diapers? No problem. Making sure I ate? He was relentless. And the way he loved our daughter, with every fiber of his being... God, it melted my heart daily.Tyler, on the other hand, was exactly the dad I’d known he’d be. He was steady, dependable, and endlessly patient. Where Ryder brought the energy and fun,

    (Katelyn's POV)I nodded slowly, processing it all as I tried to picture it in my mind's eye."Oh! And get this!" Ryder piped up with an excited grin. "Michael, the guy you wrapped around the pillar? He's Simon's cousin!""What?! How do you know that?" I asked, confused.Tyler replied this time, "Well, when we were leaving, we bumped into Simon in one of those long, winding corridors. He started going off at us asking where we were going and if we had permission to leave, blah blah blah... But Helen shut him down. She told him that the decision had been made and instead of giving us a hard time he should probably go and check on his cousin because the last time she saw him, he didn't look so good.""You should have seen his face," Ryder smirked, chuckling to himself. "He just stood there for a moment, still blocking our path, but then I think something clicked in his head. He probably saw that we were all covered in blood and shit and realized that something was wrong and he practicall

    (Katelyn's POV)The first thing I registered was the sound of hushed voices and the faint smell of lavender.My eyelids felt like they’d been superglued shut, but after what felt like an Olympic-level effort, I finally managed to pry them open.My vision swam, the room around me looking like a watercolor painting that someone had left out in the rain.Where was I? WHO was I? It felt like I had been asleep for a hundred years.I blinked repeatedly, willing my vision to focus, but when it finally did, nothing seemed familiar.It was dark, from what I could tell, and the only light was coming from a lamp somewhere on the other side of the room.I shifted onto my elbow, trying to sit up, but I instantly regretted it. Pain throbbed in my skull, my head spinning like I’d spent hours on some rotating carnival ride. A groan escaped me, and the low murmurs nearby stopped immediately.“Kate?” A voice cut through the haze... Familiar, warm, desperate.My gaze darted toward the sound, and there t

    (Katelyn's POV)She was furious, but not with me. I could feel her... like a storm raging inside me, raw and untamed. I waited in the quiet shelter of my own mind, nothing more than an observer as I watched her wrath unfold. It was like witnessing a hurricane from the safety of a bunker, awe and terror warring inside me."We... We didn't know!" the iron-haired woman’s voice quivered, her arms raised defensively, as if they could shield her from the Goddess's divine fury."You didn't know?! You didn't know that you were exploiting them? Or you didn't know that I would care?" the Moon Goddes spoke through my lips, her words flowing like liquid thunder."I... We..." the woman stammered, her eyes darting around desperately, searching for someone, ANYONE, to come to her rescue. But no one did. No one dared to move. They were all frozen like statues in the face of the storm."You will—" the words spilled from my mouth, but I somehow managed to cut them off abruptly when I heard Tyler's angu

    (Tyler's POV)"I don't know what to do," Kate whispered, her voice filled with helplessness as she looked up at me while I struggled against the attendants who held me in place."Let him go," she ordered, authority resonating through her voice in a way I'd never heard before.When they hesitated, she glanced toward the man she'd just sent flying through the air like a puppet as some kind of silent warning of her power.That seemed like enough for them to release me.The second I was free, I fell down beside her, desperate to stop the blood that was pouring from Ryder's neck. It was coming out so fast it was clear that they must have gotten an artery, the blood pulsating out of the wound in steady throbs."What do we do?" she whispered, looking to me for answers I didn't have.I reached out, holding my hand over hers in some futile attempt to stop the bleeding, but it was like trying to hold back a flood with a fucking paper towel.His neck was a mangled wreck. The flesh was torn open t

    (Katelyn's POV)Tyler’s hand trembled as he held it in place over mine, trying desperately to stop the blood that continued to pulse out, albeit at a much slower pace now.His voice was a whisper and it wavered with desperation. "You’re going to be okay, Ryder. You hear me? Just hang on. Just—" he broke off, choking back a sob as his other hand found its way to Ryder’s blood-matted fur as he rubbed him affectionately.He looked at me, his face pale and his eyes swimming with tears that he tried uselessly to blink away.“Kate...” His voice cracked, barely audible above the rapid, shallow breaths of his brother. “The bleeding... it’s too much. He’s not healing fast enough.”His words struck me like a dagger to the chest. I'd thought it, but hearing him say it out loud made it real.“What are you saying?!” I cried, my voice raw and broken as I gripped Ryder’s limp paw, shaking it in hopes of some kind of reaction. My vision blurred as I let the tears spill down my cheeks. “Is he going to

    (Katelyn's POV)Through a blur of tears, I found myself face to face with the broad-shouldered Elder, Michael."You're an abomination!" he snarled, his hands gripping my arms with a ferocity that promised bruises. "You're a curse! A witch! A temptress! Do you know how my family has suffered because of you?!" he spat as he shook me violently, his eyes filled with absolute rage."But... I..." I stammered, trying to form words into sentences, but my brain couldn't do it.All I could do was stare at him, still reeling from the fact that one second I had been kneeling beside Ryder, trying to help him, and the next, I was being violently shaken by a man who seemed to have gone full psycho."Katelyn?!" Tyler called out, realizing I was no longer at his side.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him struggling against about three or four attendants who tried to hold him back.Suddenly, pain shot through my cheek and the world around me fell into a darkness that seemed to ebb and flow like the t

    (Katelyn's POV)For a moment, the entire room froze and my ears rang with the word exterminated."We're leaving," Tyler said, his voice low as he snatched me by the wrist and tugged me toward the door.The attendants remained though, none of them making any move to unblock our path. Instead, they all looked toward the iron-haired woman as if waiting for her to give them some instruction."Move," Tyler demanded sharply as Ryder appeared on my other side."We aren't finished here," the iron-haired woman called out as three more attendants appeared to block our exit."She wants to leave," Ryder replied, his voice filled with venom as he turned to address her."We aren't finished," she repeated, her voice cold and sharp as steel."I thought you said this was a hearing," I shot back, glaring at her. "Was there some line in the invitation about being held against my will? Because if there was, I must’ve missed that part," I spat, trying to hide my growing fear with sarcasm.The room fell si

    (Katelyn's POV)The iron-haired woman watched me, her grip on her notes tightening once more. Her restraint was evident as she took a deep breath before finally replying. “You have already been told, Miss Grey, that this meeting is for us to ascertain—”I cut her off, my own patience now unraveling fast. “God, you can’t even give me a straight answer! What are the potential outcomes here?!” I demanded. "Even criminals on trial know what potential penalties they'll be facing! Why can't I be afforded the same courtesy?! Are you going to impose some kind of limitations on me and my abilities? Or do you plan to lock me in a prison cell? Or maybe a tower in the middle of nowhere? Are you going to kill me? Seriously, what options are on the table here?!" I pressed, annoyed by how fucking evasive she was being.It felt like they had already made up their minds here. While a few of them did seem to be on my side, it's clear that many of them were not. And those who sat on the fence would likel
