Resurrection Part Eighty-Five
The night that Adrian Peters and Robert Jones were waiting in the kitchen when Adara and I arrived home had ended pretty interestingly. Malachi had heard them talking as soon as we walked into the garage. We had driven to the hotel instead, walked through reception and out of the back door. We used one of the hotel cars and drove to the den.We had spent a few hours cleaning the basement, we scooped up all the ashes that were in the fire pit and scattered them as we drove back to the hotel. We walked out the front door again and into our car and headed home.I pretended not to see them as we drove past them where they had tried to hide their car behind some bushes. They followed us back home and they watched the house for an hour before leaving.After that night I had noticed Adrian Peters a lot more on my daily routines. He would sit on a bench reading a newspaper as I jogged past him. He would be in the next aisle when Adara and I went into a shop. He had even waited outside the hot

I looked at the wolf and instinct took over. I pushed James aside and lunged through the window, shifting as I did so. My clothes tore from my body and fell to the floor. The wolf was running. I didn’t care about the cuts on my body from the broken glass. I didn’t care about anything else at that moment, I just needed to kill him.The wolf stopped in the middle of the clearing and his stench bothered my nostrils. We circled each other and I spotted five other wolves emerging from between the trees. I was outnumbered. He had lured me here and he had won this round. I could not take on six wolves.Then I heard them in my head, they were close. Malachi, Garrick, and James; they had followed me without question. We all stood there in the clearing, growling at each other. We could not communicate with them and I wondered now about my decision to just blindly run after him. It didn’t matter much, what was done, was done. I would face him if I had to and they all knew I wanted to kill Ramos.

We were caught in a catch twenty-two. We had no other choice than to convene, we would be questioned by the council anyway about the war we all knew would break out. We all looked at Malachi for a solution. Instead, he retired to his study with Garrick.I trusted in Malachi and I knew that he would come back out and give us all hope. A way out of this dilemma.“We should never have trusted the truce. We should have…” Adara said and stopped herself. She was managing her powers so well; she touched my cheek and the gash that Ramos’s teeth left healed instantly.Now I have to tell you more about the council. The wolf council is made up primarily of retired Alpha’s voted in by their predecessors. You get nominated and the current sitting council votes on your reputation, how you manage your pack, and almost everything can count against you.When a sitting member dies, the Alpha with the most votes gets to take the empty seat. The council is where you report absolutely everything. Even if

Adara smiled as she held her new passport in her hands. She had legally changed her surname back to Jameson. She had eventually found her papers that Juniper had left in the attic. The owner of the house had contacted Adara to come and clear out Juniper and Ramos’s furniture as he had not heard from them in six months.We had planned a trip to Northern Ireland, where Peter Gillian resided. Peter Gillian is the Alpha of Adara’s birth pack. Malachi had said that even though she had been inducted into our pack it was still the right thing to do to inform them of our impending marriage and only right to do so in person.I think he also wanted to give Adara the chance to see her native country, get to know Peter who knew her parents well. Adara had barely slept the last two weeks, ever since Malachi had told her we were going to Ireland. She had wondered when he had asked her about her passport.“What do I pack?” she asked me excitedly.“Something of everything Adara. Remember it’s not as

I took one of her hands and brought it up to my lips and kissed it. Karani had told Adara it was because of her love for me that she could heal me, but so far, she hasn’t been able to heal anyone else.“I know,” I said to her and wondered what would happen to the little boy. I hoped they would find a match for him and save his little life. He looked like a very brave, intelligent little boy and the world would lose a prize should he die.I woke up again and Adara was still asleep on my shoulder, the plane was descending, and I woke her up. We ordered coffee and waited for the plane to land and unload. We entered the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and went straight to our boarding counter and stood around. This layover was only an hour and a half. We stretched our legs and I wondered where the little boy’s family was heading.We boarded our final plane to Dublin and landed exactly two hours later. The atmosphere in Dublin was electric with anticipation, but maybe that was just us. Malac

Adrian Peters sat in his car and watched the house. The house he was watching belonged to Marrick Goldman. He had lived in that house for seventeen years with his wife, Susan, and their four children. The children were Jackson, age fourteen, Rupert, age twelve, Sumari, age nine and Kyle, age five.Adrian had been watching the blissfully unaware family for two weeks now. He had learned that Susan was a homemaker. She took the children to school, to activities, to playdates. She did all the grocery shopping while Marrick left for work at seven am, came home for lunch at noon, returned to work and came home at five pm.They led a relatively normal, boring life. The children played outside in the garden and rode bicycles with the other children from the neighborhood. Susan had a book club every Tuesday afternoon from three to four pm, when the three older kids were at karate practice, and the youngest was still at day-care.On Fridays, though, Susan Goldman, picked the children up at thre

Adrian proceeded to tie Jackson’s hands behind his back and then checked the other two. He tightened Sumari’s binds and then tied Kyle’s hands behind his back. He went to the kitchen and took out a pitcher of orange juice from the fridge. He poured a big glass and mixed the mountain arnica powder with it.“Mom!” The children were screaming for Susan. Their faces were streaked with tears and Kyle was screaming hysterically.“Don’t hurt my children,” Susan sobbed and she struggled against the cable ties as they cut into her wrists.He made Kyle drink the glass of orange juice. He watched the children as Kyle began to show the first signs of dying. Adrian didn’t feel sorry for them, they would grow up to be wolves.“You see, Susan, this causes accelerated heartbeats, can you hear it? The blood is from internal bleeding and very soon muscular paralysis will set in,” Adrian told Susan as Kyle started coughing up blood and slumped in his seat. The muscular paralysis was starting to affect h

Adara spent all of her free time with Karani and Claire and according to them she made tremendous progress with her powers. Peter took us to see Castlewellan Castle and told us that it was now government owned but that it was built in the 1850’s by the Annesley family. We took a tour of the castle and it was impressive. I could see Adara was having the time of her life.It was hard to believe that we had been here for almost two weeks. Malachi and Peter asked me to join them in his study one evening while Adara was out with Karani and Claire. Claire had taken her to see where her parents had lived. Adara said I shouldn’t join her as her emotions would get so bad that I would have a hard time keeping my grip on reality.The stronger my connection to the person affected, the more it affected me. It had become so severe that I would start vomiting as a result of the intense pain I would experience all over my body, I would have difficulty breathing which would occasionally lead to a blac

Resurrection Epilogue
I heard the car pull up to our house. A few seconds of silence and then a car door opened and closed. I wasn’t particularly worried, more curious at what I smelled; it was Robert outside and he was afraid and nervous. I had become very attuned to the emotions of other people around me, even people I didn’t know.The doorbell rang and I opened the door for him. He was pale and very worried. I asked him inside and wondered what this could be about. I didn’t have the energy for this. I had been on my way upstairs to sleep. The ceremony had been very taxing on all of us and the pack didn’t linger afterwards.“Evening, Officer Jones,” I said to him and showed him to a seat at the kitchen counter. He was not wearing his uniform so I could only assume he was here in his personal capacity.“Kiran, I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother,” Robert said and I thanked him. I thanked him because it was the polite thing to do and Karani would want that.“Thank you, Officer Jones,” I said.“Call me

The house was eerily quiet and dark. I sat down at the counter and knew that on any other day, Karani would be in front of the stove. She would have something baking in the oven, bacon frying in a pan, the coffee maker would be filling the kitchen with its aroma. She would be smiling, and I would kiss her on her cheek.I broke down again. I cried and just let it out. It came out as a mixture of a scream and a growl. I couldn’t contain all of this. My soul felt empty although it was bursting with emotion. I was exhausted physically and emotionally. I just had to get through this day. I wanted to die.I shuddered as I remembered the last time I walked into this church. It was the day we buried the Goldman’s and before that, Sarah. Today was my turn to sit in the front pew. I wanted to turn around and run out, but Malachi put his hand on my shoulder, and I had to keep going.We sat down and I looked at the coffin in front of me. I could smell her there. I didn’t want to be here but if I

I was unconscious for three days following the emotional pain I took from Malachi. It had been accidental. I hadn’t meant to take all his pain. While I was subdued, Karani came to me in both her wolf and human form. I held her and cried for her. She held me and cried with me. She soothed me, and we talked for hours as Death sat nearby and watched me with keen interest.The pain from Malachi’s soul was so intense that my body needed that time to recover. I still carried that pain inside me, and I could barely function on my own. Everything hurt, from my soul to my skin and the thought of opening my eyes felt like too much of an effort.Buried deep in Malachi’s soul was a secret. It was a secret that hurt so much that I couldn’t grasp the reality that surrounded it. My mind was playing tricks on me, I was sure of it. Then again, I did see him with Karani. She had smiled as her image drifted away from me.“Kiran, you have to try to eat something,” Adara said to me.“Just leave me alone,”

Adrian Peters switched the television on and settled himself on the couch. The rest of his house was in darkness. It had been a week since his last killing and the news station was showing only highlights of the murders in Seward. He turned the sound up and listened to the news anchor describe his handiwork.“This is now the third home invasion in Seward that has ended in the brutal murders of the families residing at these locations,” the woman said and the television showed the outside of the houses with the bright yellow ‘do not cross—police’ tape cordoning off the area.“The first victims were Marrick and Susan Goldman and their four children, Jackson, Rupert, Sumari and Kyle. Two of the children died from poisoning while the rest were shot at close range. Nothing appeared to be missing from their home. The second set of victims were Peter McPherson, his wife Tanya and their daughter Michelle. Michelle was strangled to death but Peter and Tanya were shot at close range just like t

At the house, Adara concentrated on Edna. It was as if she could communicate with the illness itself, identify it and she instinctively knew.“She has pancreatic cancer,” Adara said softly.“How did you know?” Robert asked her in wonder.“I don’t know, it’s like I can see it. Can I try something Robert?” Adara asked him and he nodded.Adara placed her hands on Edna’s abdomen and started concentrating. She was whispering to herself, but her words made no sense to me. I was enamored with what she was doing. I could see a shift in Edna’s aura.“It’s working, Adara. I can see her pain shift. Keep going,” I encouraged her. I could sense Adara’s power rising, her aura started to glow, a deep bright white with a yellow tinge. It started turning light red.Thirty minutes later Adara slumped from her kneeling position and supported her body with her one arm. Her aura glowed a bright red, but she had done it. She had taken all of the cancer from Edna’s body, her aura throbbed and returned to it

“Adara,” Juniper said after we had all gone upstairs and left Ramos alone in the cell in the basement. Adara looked at her with no emotion.“I…I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” Juniper said in a small voice.“I told you!” Adara shouted at her so fiercely that I went to stand next to her in case she went for Juniper. Juniper took a step back at the ferocity in Adara’s voice.“I think it best if you just left Juniper,” Shoran said to her while leading her out the door and closing it in her face.Adara sat down on one of the chairs. “I’m sorry. I just…I don’t want anything to do with her,” Adara said, her soul exhausted at the ordeal we all just went through.“Adara, you never have to apologize for feeling the way you do about her,” Malachi said and then he surprised us all by hugging her.Adara broke down and cried in Malachi’s arms. I took that time to phone Karani and told her what had happened. She was crying and then told us to get back home immediately.“Malachi, Karani said to get home i

Bryan came back after an hour and took Shoran and James away. I had no idea what was happening downstairs, but I could guess that we were in for a long wait. Bryan came back and told Garrick, Stephanie and Karani to go outside. I jumped out of my seat and a strange man tried to push me down.“Where are you taking them?” I demanded, almost shouting.“They are free to return home. They have been declared innocent,” Bryan replied and took them outside. I heard a car start and drive off. I sat back down again and continued to wait.James and Shoran sat down as Malachi stood up and leaned against the wall. He smiled at them both trying to encourage them.“James Thomas and Shoran Thomas, you have been accused of kidnapping and murder,” John Whitcombe said to them.“James, did you take Dave against his will?” John asked him.“Yes, well he was unconscious at the time so I couldn’t ask him if he wanted to come or not,” James said and Malachi had to contain himself to not laugh out loud.“Don’t

Neither John nor Richard found anything suspicious in Marrick’s records. He had no enemies, and was well liked at work. They led a normal life and there was no reason to think it wasn’t a home invasion gone wrong. Malachi had sighed at this and said that it still confused him that Marrick could be caught off guard.I woke up as I heard the sliding door open downstairs. As I opened my bedroom door, Malachi stood behind it and put his finger to his lips. We remained quiet and crept down the hall towards the stairs.The smell was wolf and foreign. We went down the stairs as quietly as we could. I turned the corner and was struck by a fist full in my face. I went down as another man jumped Malachi and they were grappling in the dark. I was up on my feet again and grabbed the man by his arm. I pulled with all my strength and threw him over my shoulder. He landed with a thud on his back.He was quick, I had caught him off guard. He faced me with his fists raised when the light in the kitche

Malachi sat in silence for a while. He got up and went to his study. He came back with a list and gave it to James.“Phone John and ask him to go through Marrick’s financial records. I will speak to Richard to get us Marrick’s phone records and so on. We have to find out who did this and why!” Malachi said. On the list he had written down John’s phone number and the instructions for James.“Karani, speak to any mutual friends you and Susan had. Find out if there were any marital problems or concerns that could have led to this,” Malachi asked and Karani got up with her phone to arrange lunch dates with the friends.“Kiran, you need to go find Jackson’s friends. They will know who you are, Jackson liked to boast about you. Find out if they know anything. Kids talk more openly than their parents. They are more honest with their friends,” Malachi said and I nodded.“Adara, you can join Karani and take note of how she handles the humans,” Malachi said. He must have known that she would ev
