“Seriously, you're a vampire!" Killian repeated himself staring at Mike with a calculated look as if he could expel the secrets with a look. Mike glared at him before composing himself and looking around again swearing. His nostrils flared and he stared at them for a minute. “Shit. This isn’t the place for this conversation. I will go sign in and tell the desk sergeant that I want an open patrol. Where can I meet you?” He asked. “We have rooms at the Inn. Can you meet us there?” Aiden motioned for the others to climb in the SUV as Mike nodded and walked into the building. Aiden watched him put on a smile and wave to the lady at the desk, he leaned against it chatting for a moment and nodding, he gave her a quick wave again before he walked into the back. Aiden got in and drove to the Inn. About 20 minutes later they were all in the same suite Aiden had before, Mike had just arrived and so did the other four. Thomas reported that there was nothing changed at either houses. Everything
Alys woke up with a start. She was having another one of those vision dreams and had seen Aiden talking to Mike, in what looked like the police station parking lot. Does that mean they are on their way to her? Were they in Hope Falls? She didn’t know how or why, but she knew the dreams were real. She was seeing visions of Aiden, hope swelled up in her heart. She reached over and turned the lamp back on so she could see and started searching around her. She needed to be ready, she was worried that Cody might come after her if he learned that Aiden was close and she needed to be able to do something to fend him off, to at least give Aiden a chance to get to them. She knew she wouldn’t be able to actually fight him, he was a werewolf, and a police officer, and before that he was a football player. He was one giant wall of muscle, speed and training. She spotted the flipped tray on the floor, Cody hadn’t picked it up before storming out in anger earlier. He had used a knife to cut the st
The vision changed again, now she was watching the three wolves that had gone the other way, they had spread out and were slowly stalking towards the cabin watching every move they made carefully, stepping in areas with less leaf coverage, finally they reached their destination and stood watching the cabin from a distance. Thomas must have linked them about the silver nets. They were looking around them as if waiting for something else to happen. Alys noticed that they turned their attention briefly to the cabin and she could see in the distance that Aiden, Mike, and Jax were approaching. Ready yourself. The visions cleared and she opened her eyes just in time to hear the locks click on the door. She closed her eyes again and tried to steady her breath, gathering her courage, she clutched her hand around the hilt under the blankets, getting a better grip on her knife and slowly slipped it closer to her.“Oh my sweet Aly.” Cody tsked, “Your Alpha is a very stubborn man, he just does n
They had almost reached the cabin when they got a link from Thomas. ‘Heather is down, she got caught in a silver net I had to get her out.’ Thomas sounded conflicted. He knew he had to be there for the luna but he couldn’t leave Heather there in pain. ‘Take her back to the SUV’s, tend to her wounds as best you can with the med kit in the back. We will get the Luna back.’ Aiden told him. They weren’t mates but Aiden knew there was something going on between them. ‘Everyone else move on with extreme caution, Heather’s been caught in a silver net. She’s down and going back to the SUV.’ He linked the others. “Heather, got trapped.” Was all he said to Mike and Killian. Mike nodded in understanding and looked around him. Jax was shaking his head in anger. Aiden just added it to the growing list of Cody’s crimes. He would take him down, he made sure they all knew that Cody was his as soon as Alys was free. They finally reached the cabin and they stopped as the front door burst open so
Jax sped all the way home. It was the longest drive of Aiden’s life. Sara was texting Dr. Clarke and having them get the pack hospital ready for all three of their wounded. “How did you guys miss those traps?” Jax asked Sara after a while of driving. “We went in knowing he would have them set up.” Sara rolled her eyes at him and finished her text before answering. “He had trip wires, and holes in the ground, and bear traps all over those woods. I am honestly surprised we didn’t trip more of them off. The guy was a complete psycho, it was like a bad horror movie out there.” She complained and Jax scoffed. “I am serious, the one bear trap he had in the middle of a bush and it was streaked with silver. What I want to know is how long it actually took him to set them all up and how the hell he did it without burning himself.” “Well if you saw all the others then you should have seen those.” Jax scolded, Sara flipped him off. “I’d have liked to see you do better.” She retorted back. “
Alys was back in the blackness again. This time it felt different though. Like she was floating through space. She could feel her body, but she couldn’t move it. She didn’t feel the pain anymore. Did I die? She thought to herself, she probably should have been more worried about that but she felt so peaceful. ‘No, you did not die.’ she heard the whispered voice say to her. ‘Who are you? Are you my wolf?’ She didn’t think they could talk to them, but then again she didn’t know everything about wolves. ‘No I am not your wolf. You will shift soon little one, the ability to talk to your wolves has been lost to time.’ The whisper said to her, she thought she heard a light laugh. ‘I am the moon Goddess Selene.’ ‘The moon Goddess? You mean gods and goddesses are real?’ Alys remembered studying ancient history and mythology in school, but she thought it was all just ancient stories. ‘Yes, but in a guardian way more than an ultimate being way. We live in a separate world and can watch
Alys was released to go home in the morning, after Dr. Clarke came in and did a final assessment. She got smaller bandages over her chest and was able to have no more bandages on the back of her head. Dr. Clarke told her she had to come back to get the stitches removed soon though. Aiden happily helped her get dressed into yoga pants and a big oversized sweater, picked out by Jax apparently. Thomas was waiting out front with an SUV to bring them back to the pack house. Even though it was only up the street Aiden didn’t want her walking that far right away. “I feel so silly. We will be in the car for not even 3 minutes Aiden. I could have walked. Its not that far to the pack house.” Alys complained as she climbed in with him in the back seat. “It’s long enough of a walk that I feel better if you have a ride. It’s either this or I carry you the entire way.” He winked at her blush and she rolled her eyes, Thomas closed the door for her and got in the front seat. Her flowers, balloons a
The next morning Aiden woke up after the best sleep he had had in a while. He finally got to mark his Luna, he could finally feel her, she was there forever in the back of his mind. His wolf felt stronger already, he felt stronger, more energized and ready for anything that life might throw at him. The little ball of fire next to him looked beautiful as she laid there. She must have been exhausted, she didn’t usually sleep in later then him. He couldn’t help but run his fingers across the mate mark on her shoulder smiling softly, he slowly ran his fingers down and trailed them across the thin silver scars on her chest. He had never seen someone heal like that. He’d heard about it during his wolf history lessons as a young pup, but that was way back when the first werewolves were made by the moon goddess. Has the goddess blessed his mate with an ancient wolf? He remembered Alys telling him that the goddess had been speaking with her. He felt a shudder run through him. To have a mate to
