Sebastian realized as soon as he stepped out of the pack house that Jimin’s words of encouragement was all he actually needed. He felt so bold, so strong like he could do anything at all and he knew that he was going to go out for his first night watch and come back successfully. Jimin believed in him. Jimin had been the leader of the Sentinels for close to seven years and he had come back every single day. He was definitely not going to die on his first night out.He slipped his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to the Resistance group chat. “Hi guys. I would be picking from amongst all of you tonight, I would be picking the bravest of you, eight of you that would follow me out and become my first Sentinels. Promises to be fun. Meet me at the Cove that’s where I’ll make the selection.”Sebastian felt happy that he was finally going to make an impact on his pack – a positive impact and he just couldn’t wait to get started. Outside the pack house, he saw some girls walking to
The first night watch turned out to be more revealing than any of them had expected it to be. It was a silent walk all the way down the woods and the six of them walked carefully, making sure to watch each other’s backs. Jimin had already given them a short debriefing on how Lycans attacked and in his speech, he had made sure to inform them that the average Lycan was three times as smart as the average werewolf. None of them liked the fact that he was comparing them with Lycans and so they frowned as he told them. Jimin smiled inwardly, knowing that his little story would work on them exactly the same way it has worked on him some seven years ago when he was going out for his first Sentinel duty. He could remember that day as if it were yesterday. The former head of the Sentinels, Carrick was badly ill and for the first time in over twenty years, he couldn’t go out for his duty. That was how serious it was. His assistant, Jones had died in a battle with the Lycans a night before and s
The twins were pumped up by Jimin’s words but they felt a little bit uncomfortable and Jimin could notice it very well.“You know our father?” Jake mumbled, getting closer to Jimin as the five of them trudged along.“More than you do,” Jimin smiled at him. “No offence but your father, Carrick, was a prick.”“We hear that all the time,” Jake nodded appearing beside Jimin. “But at least he was a brave prick. The bravest prick in the whole of the Pack. Jimin turned to him and smiled at him, seeing what he was trying to do.“I understand you like the word a lot young man,” Jimin laughed. “Don’t get me wrong though. Your father was a brave and we’ll respected man. We had our own personal issues but we had mutual respect for each other. He knew when his tenure had ended and he left without causing me any problems. Carrick was that simple.”“But you don’t know when your tenure is over Jimin do you?” Jake asked staring at Jimin. “What are you doing among the Sentinels, Beta Jimin?” Jimin frow
Her hair was the color of burning lava and she emanated a degree of heat from her body that made the two of them back off slowly as she walked closer to them. Both Jimin and Sebastian knew who she was or at least they thought they knew – Calisté’, the legendary witch, the sworn enemy of their dead Alpha King, Dan Damon. The look of hatred and the fire burning in her eyes was more than enough to tell them that she had not forgotten what Dan had did to her family and she had not forgiven them. “Sebastian Coatés,” Calisté smiled. Her voice was husky and cold. It reminded Sebastian of a damsel in distress, calling for help, except that she was not a damsel. She was beautiful of course, not even looking like someone that had spent the last hundred years of her life doing evil, but she was definitely not a damsel. She was a witch that needed to be stopped at all costs. Sebastian turned to Jimin, asking him with his eyes if it was okay to talk. He had not quickly forgotten what had happened
The two of them stared at her for well over a minute and as if on impulse, they burst out laughing at the same time. Calisté stared back at them, wondering what was funny and Jimin cleared his throat.“Hold on a second,” Jimin said, “I would be with you tonight. I don’t understand that. What do you mean by ‘I would be with you?’Calisté shook her head in pity and attempted to hold Jimin by the hand. He shifted away a bit and she laughed. “There are over a thousand legends about me,” she said. “Calisté the witch, the betrayer, the wolf slayer. In as much as these legends are true, I can be good when I want to. Come on, Jimin. You’re the last person I would want to kill right now.” She attempted to touch his hand again and he shifted away.“I want to show you the things you would be missing by refusing to follow me,” Calisté said. “Can you remember how your father looked like?”Jimin stared at her, a lost expression on his face. Truly, he couldn’t remember his father’s face. He couldn’
“That is a child,” Jimin said. “My dad was young then. People make all sorts of mistakes when they are younger.”Calisté laughed. “If you say so then. Just watch.” Jimin watched as the two children played together. He couldn’t deny the fact that they looked very happy together and he dared to imagine that there had been a romantic spark between his father and the notorious witch. As he watched them, he noticed the little Calisté whisper something in his father’s ears and he watched as his father held her hands and they ran deeper into the trees. Jimin turned to face Calisté.“Where are you taking him to?” Jimin frowned.“He’s the one holding my hands,” Calisté laughed. “The question should be where is he taking me to. But see for yourself, I won’t like to spoil the fun for you.”They followed the two children as they cornered through the thicket of bushes deeper and deeper into the trees. They had been running for a long time and if not that Calisté used her magic powers, it would hav
From the very moment he woke up on his bed in the pack house, Sebastian knew he was in a lot of trouble. He could not remember sleeping off on that bed. The last thing he could remember was refusing to leave Jimin’s side as he negotiated with Calisté and the next place he saw himself was on his king sized bed in the pack house.“Shit!” he cursed out loud. “Where the fuck is Jimin. I’m in a whole lot of trouble.”He hurried down from the bed and jumped to the floor. There was water on the floor and he looked outside the window wondering where the water had come from. The window had been left open throughout the night so he guessed that rain must have fallen heavily and the wind blew the rain right into the room.“Hope you are safe Jimin,” he muttered to himself as he turned around the room in circles, looking for his slippers. “I warned you to stay away from that witch but you just wouldn’t listen to me.”“Sebastian!”He turned in shock at the sound of someone calling his name and he s
Sebastian found Trey awake. He was sitting on the bed in his room and staring into space when he walked in and even after he had waved his hands in his face continuously, Trey refused to move. Sebastian sat down on the bed beside him and held his hand. Trey stood up, shocked and for the first time saw that Sebastian was in his room.“Sebastian?” he said. “When did you step in? I didn’t see you. Sorry, my room is a mess.”“Your room is always a mess Trey,” Sebastian replied smiling. “And it doesn’t matter to me.” Trey turned to look at him and they were silent for a long while before Sebastian finally spoke up again.“I assume you know why I am here right?” Sebastian said, straightening up.“I think I do, Bastian,” Trey mumbled. Sebastian could see the fear in his eyes and he knew immediately that his friend was worried about the exact same thing that worried him.“You woke up here on your bed this morning?” Sebastian asked, staring at him.“Exactly, Bastian,” Trey said looking up at h
