2021-08-31 09:49:48The expression Danica wore was both amusing and frightening as she watched Caleb lead me into the chair next to his at the dining table. If he noticed the hate for me in her eyes, he gave no indication of it as he made the introductions around the room.
He seemed mildly surprised to discover that Kenzie and I had already met her. Even so. Other than express his surprise, he made no effort to explore how and why we were acquainted. Instead, he initiated light and interesting table talk about the history of the mountain while we enjoyed several courses that could easily have been served in a five star restaurant. I found the stories that he and Oscar told of their ancestors’ practices and beliefs to be both entertaining and intriguing.
It was eye opening to discover that there were significant likenesses and differences in the beliefs and operation of the packs.
Since Caleb was pack leader and Oscar was second in line behind Noa

I was furious. First I was kept in Noah’s home like some kind of prisoner for my protection and, then, Caleb insisted on the same thing.“I just want to go home,” I pouted as I walked with Kenzie back to the SUV. “I may not have been abducted, but I feel like it. I came here to meet him and now I can’t leave. It’s so wrong.”“You can come back with us,” Kenzie offered. “I’ll speak to Oscar about it.”“I wish that she could,” Oscar said as he approached us from behind. “Unfortunately, I don’t hold the power to go against Caleb. The only one who can is another pack leader.”“Like Noah,” Kenzie mused.“Oh, hell no!” I exclaimed without hesitation.“Listen to me,” Oscar said with urgency. “Caleb is a renown humanitarian, but, over the years, I’ve noticed something abou

The guest room where I was placed in the big house was adjacent to Caleb’s. In fact, there was a concealed door that allowed him to enter without going into the hallway. This wasn’t something that I was aware of until I heard it open a few hours after I’d gone to bed.I was in that zen state of not being fully awake, yet not quite into a deep sleep when I heard the creaking of the door. My mind was aware of it, but my body remained unwilling to respond as I peacefully lay beneath the damask coverlet that adorned the bed.The wherewithal to react finally hit me when I felt the cool air on my nakedness as the covers were pulled away from me. Sitting up, I quickly turned on the light while pulling the top sheet up high enough to cover my bare breasts.I rarely slept in the nude, but since I’d arrived with the intention of an afternoon visit and not a lengthy stay, I had no night clothes to wear. I could have rem

When I awoke, I was surprised to discover that I’d slept through the majority of the day. To add to my confusion, I felt weak and exhausted.I was about to climb out of bed and find the nearest bathroom when the door to my bedroom opened and the cook entered with a food tray.“Good. You’re awake,” he said with a deep, baritone voice that didn’t match his short, stocky stature. “I’ve brought you some broth. You’re to drink it all up.”Extremely self-conscious of my nakedness, I held the sheet tight to my collarbone as I said, “I need to go to the bathroom.”His tone was matter-of-fact as he said, “There’s a bedpan under the bed.”“What?” I said with surprise. “I’m to use a bedpan? Why can’t I just use the bathroom?”“I was given instructions to keep you in the room no matter what,” he explained.

I hadn’t eaten since the dinner party the night before, so the spicy broth hit the spot.It occurred to me to question its contents, but, then, I thought better of it. What did it matter? I didn’t like being handicapped in such a way. It actually brought forth hints of the claustrophobia that I suffered from. As the creepy cook so adamantly insisted; if I wanted to use my legs, I’d have to drink the broth and I definitely wanted to use my legs again.I found the fact that this broth had such crazy healing properties puzzling since it tasted like a simple Asian beef broth to me. Since I knew so little about werewolves and their ways, I accepted that it had some type of property that would renew my ability to function normally and drank every last drop.I didn’t get a chance to test out the results of the broth before Caleb returned to my room.

I was disgusted both with myself and with Caleb. He’d managed to subdue my body and get the response from it that he wanted through sex while he left his venom inside me night after night. Week after week. Surprisingly, unlike with Noah, the more time I spent with him, the less I liked him. By the time the moon’s cycle had reached the brink of another full moon, I could say that I actually hated him.Unlike when I awoke after the first venom installment, I not only could use my legs, but they were so full of energy that it was almost too much. I needed to walk some of it off, but since Caleb was afraid that I’d run away, I still wasn’t allowed to leave the room.As I paced the floor with my new and improved legs, I found that I was moving with the ease and grace that reminded me of a caged panther I’d admired in a zoo when I was younger.

There were still a matter of hours before the full moon would rise and I already felt terrible. In fact, the sensations in my body were so strange and awful that I couldn’t even accurately describe them to anyone if I tried. Every inch of me twitched and ached, from my bones to my muscles.Since I’d never experienced this before, I suspected that it had to do with the fact that I had Caleb’s venom inside of me. I would have confirmed it with him, but he was nowhere to be found. After I’d submitted so willingly to him a few nights earlier, he’d not returned. It was almost as if he’d lost interest after a successful conquest of my body.Since I’d arrived almost a week earlier, I’d not been allowed out of my room.

Caleb waited until an hour before the moon was full to come to my room. Furious at being ignored by him for days, I snarled as he entered.“You’re in the process of shifting, I see,” he said with a smug smile as he lowered himself into the room’s only easy chair that was located in the far corner. Resting his elbows on its thickly padded arms, he touched the tips of his fingers together, tapping his index fingers lightly as he spoke. “I understand you miscarried. I suspected as much.”I went to respond to him, but found that my voice didn’t want to cooperate. I was shocked at how foreign it sounded to me when I finally managed to eke out, “What?”“I lied, you see,” he said as he sat forward. “It’s true that putting venom into your system promoted your shift, but I didn’t need to put as much as I did. One small bite would have been sufficient. I could

Noah’s altered werewolf voice was a welcome sound as he bellowed from the distance, “Snow! Down boy!”The beautiful white wolf ceased his snarling, but he didn’t move an inch.No longer feeling threatened, I turned in the direction that the command came from just in time to see Noah leap through the air toward us. His strong legs had managed to catapult him over yards of ground with one single bound. I found it incredibly impressive.“Lisa, is that you?” he asked as he cautiously approached Snow and me. His voice had a tone to it that I couldn’t decipher. Was it anger or sadness when he said, “It smells like you. You’ve shifted to full wolf form.”I wanted to say something, but could only make canine sounds.When he moved a bit closer, my heightened sensed took in the familiar smell of his body.

I could feel the life force slowly ebbing from Danica. The human part of my mind reasoned that, with Kenzie out of danger, the right thing to do would have been to release her, but the wolf in me refused to let go. The urge to finished the job and tear her throat out was so intense that I trembled from the effort to resist it.The shouts of the crowd around me as they rooted for their pack leader to take Noah down and finish him off only served to drive my animal instinct to kill even further. I’m not sure if I’d have resisted much longer had Oscar not returned with Noah’s pack.With the numbers on a more equal basis, Caleb’s pack quieted down. I took note of this fact. Apparently, not only was Noah a strong leader, but his pack was ready to fiercely defend him if the need arose.From what I could see, they need do nothing. Although Caleb managed to get in a few good punches, bites, and throw downs, Noa
