Chapter 202: Avoidance

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-08 20:55:35

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

Do we really have to have all the adjectives? Like, " Squeezing the teabag against the side of the mug with the teaspoon." We are wasting a lot of money and still have not received any information yet!!!

    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

    Tyler pulled me closer, deepening the kiss as his fingers wound their way through my hair."If I'm not mistaken, I think I said I would owe you one," he murmured softly, a mischievous smile blooming on his lips.I couldn't help but smile in return. "That does ring a bell," I agreed with a smirk.Without warning, he shoved me backward on the bed, leaning over me and kissing me again as his hand wandered down my body, his fingers soft and searching.I wrapped my arms around his neck, smiling against his lips as his hand tugged the oversized t-shirt I was wearing up, exposing my panties.He pulled them aside and began to trail an eager finger over the cleft, eliciting an excited giggle from me.Irritatingly, my panties kept trying to snap themselves back into place, prohibiting his movements."I'm afraid these will have to go," he announced seriously, snapping the elastic waistband around my hips."If you say so," I replied, completely unfazed.He slipped my panties down, tossing them to

    I woke up to the familiar warmth of Tyler's arms wrapped around me, the steady rhythm of his breathing the only sound in the silent room. It was comforting, reassuring in a way that made me feel safe, like nothing in the world could touch me as long as I was in his arms.Snuggling closer to him, I let the sensation wash over me as I listened to the rise and fall of his chest.It was Sunday, and Tyler usually had Sundays off. For a brief moment, I entertained the idea of spending the day doing something fun, just the two of us. But then reality came barging its way through my mind and I realized that we'd probably end up at The Fortress, poring over dusty old books about the Elysian line and black wolves.The thought made me frown, my mind inevitably circling back to the events of the night before.Ryder’s words had shaken me. How did he know about the black wolf in my nightmare if I hadn't told him about it? The possibility that it was just a lucky guess seemed too far-fetched and the

    “Listen, babe, there’s a rumor going around the Aspenwood Pack,” Jenna said tentatively, her tone serious. "I... I don't want to be the one to fuck your life up though, so this is really hard."My heart raced at her words, but I forced myself to stay calm. “What kind of rumor?” I asked, dreading the answer.Tyler watched me, pausing the show on the TV as I sat up straight, my anxiety reaching its peak.“Listen, I don’t want to upset you, and I don’t even know if it’s true... but my mom heard it, and she told me, so now I’m telling you,” Jenna explained, clearly anxious herself.“Jesus, Jen, just say it! You're freaking me out!” I demanded looking at Tyler with worry before I dropped the phone from my ear and put it on speaker.“Okay! Okay!” she replied quickly, trying to placate me. “It's just... There’s a rumor going around saying you’re adopted,” she revealed nervously.Relief washed over me, followed by a sense of resignation.“I’m sorry, Kate. I don't know if you already knew... I

    The warmth of Tyler’s embrace lingered as I released him from the hug, a deep sigh of relief escaping my lips. The thought of Jenna coming to visit filled me with a sense of comfort I hadn’t realized I had been yearning for.“It would be so cool if she could come and visit,” I said, a smile spreading across my face at the thought of my best friend being here.“Yeah, maybe you need a little extra support these days,” Tyler replied, returning my smile. His words were meant to be reassuring, but they carried a hint of concern that didn’t go unnoticed.I grew thoughtful for a moment, the smile fading slightly as my mind began to consider what Jenna's revelation might mean.“Everything should be okay, right? I mean, it doesn't matter if they know I was adopted, and it shouldn't matter if they find out who my parents were, because my mother probably wouldn't have told anyone about the Elysian Line, right?” I asked, a touch of nervousness creeping into my voice.Tyler considered my question

    Ryder hovered beside me, looking uncertain as to whether he wanted to sit or remain standing. The band continued to play in the background. There were no vocals, just the raw, ragged, violent thrash that was their signature sound.I looked up at Ryder, feeling his eyes on me. He mouthed something, but I couldn't make out what he was saying over the reverberating noise.Shaking my head and pointing to my ear, I gestured that I couldn't hear him.He sighed and leaned down, all but yelling into my ear, "Are you okay? You look like you're freaking out." Then he gave me a concerned look.Jesus, was it that obvious...I shook my head, brushing him off. "No, I'm fine," I yelled back. "Just... uh..." I sighed and decided to be honest. "I feel like I'm intruding," I admitted.The whole conversation seemed so weird because we were yelling at one another.He chuckled, his eyes lighting up. "It's only weird if you make it weird."It was something he had said to me before. In the beginning, when I

    Ryder was still hovering where Cal had been set up, absentmindedly strumming a shiny blue guitar and pressing some pedals on the floor in front of him, changing the sound it made."I’m glad," he said, his eyes focused on the pedals. "I had fun too," he went on with a small absentminded smile.I was about to thank him for the enjoyable afternoon and make my exit when Ryder suddenly blew into Cal’s mic, the sound crackling through the speakers and taking me by surprise.Without missing a beat, he began to play.The song was vaguely familiar. It was some grungy 90s song with heavy distortion on the guitar.I watched him thoughtfully, recognizing the tune but not able to place it.I still wanted to leave, but now he was playing and he looked pretty invested. I didn't want to interrupt him, but I also felt like it would be rude to just leave, so I figured I had to stick around, waiting until he was done.The sofa was comfortable and I had my phone, so realistically, a couple of extra minut

    “I miss you too,” I replied, wiping a tear from my cheek.I couldn’t hold it back any longer. The sadness and misery and that feeling of loss and regret and emptiness that had been building up inside me finally broke free. “I miss what we had. I miss us,” I confessed, wiping away the stream of tears that had begun to spill from my eyes.Ryder quickly set his guitar aside, coming over to the sofa I was sitting on. He rested a hand on my shoulder, rubbing it reassuringly as he said, "Don't cry.""I can't help it!" I replied, the tears relentless."God, you're gonna make me cry," he murmured, sounding mildly embarrassed.I wiped my eyes and looked up at him and saw it was true. His eyes were red and I could see he was doing his best to fight them back.He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself before taking a seat on the sofa beside me.Neither of us sat comfortably. We were both perched on the edge, as if waiting for the room around us to start collapsing at any moment.He took 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
