#Chapter118Carl slipped out of the room. For some insane reason, he seemed contented enough to leave me alone within the weapon room.As I sat down in one of the waiting chairs, I looked around, taking in the various pieces were at his disposal.Small guns. Large guns. Pistols. Machine guns. Grenades. Bombs. Swords. So many other pieces I could not name even if I tried. So many weapons that could take down even the largest prey; pieces that could take down the largest werewolf.With my heart drumming through my body, I could not help but feel a little concern as he stepped through those doors. Carl returned. With two beverages in his hand, he placed them in front of me before me sat down in the chair just across from mine.The silence was intense; dense discomfort that would require the sharpest knife to rip through.I was not sure where to start. I just knew I could not allow him to know that I knew of the other world."What is this room? It's like a place made f
#Chapter119As Carl looked over a few needed documents to confirm with his organization, he could not help but dwell on the conversation he shared with Aniyah earlier in the day.His curiosity had peeked, which left him spilling out a secret only a few others knew about him. He was a hunter. A good one at that.Watching him pause in the moment, his mother, who sat across from him, spoke up."Do you find her trusting enough to tell her about you? About us?" She questioned him."I have no doubts.""Why not?" She asked. His mother was never used to trusting many."She is innocent. She means no harm." Carl confirmed to her."Even though she is human, she belongs to a werewolf family.""A family who constructed this town." Carl was never fond of the Hall family; however, he could never spew hatred on a name that didn't deserve it. Even if one of them broke his hand."So." His mother waited for something."What?""What did she tell you? What had your suspi
#Chapter120She was wearing almost nothing.Her body flourishing beneath her bra and boy cut underwear as she stepped out of the bathroom. She tied up her hair before she added her favorite perfume to her inner wrist and neck.She snatched my attention; capturing my thoughts, distracting me from thinking about what had happened just earlier today."Hello." She snapped her fingers to awake me from my day dream."You look beautiful." I exhaled.Her once questioning look turned soft when I complimented to her."You tell me that a lot when I'm half naked." She shrugged; turning away as she began to tend to her body, lathering herself with her favorite cream."I say it no matter what." My head tilted, watching as her lower half jiggled when she moved. "Even when you wake up looking crazy.""Shut up." She chuckled.Reaching onto the nightstand, she pulled her ring from the surface before she slipped it onto her hand. She looked at it; frozen in the moment as her e
#Chapter121I turned into the parking lot of the bar just outside of town. Slowing down as my tires ran over the heavy gravel that made up the lot right before I came to a complete stop.Zeiden, who I told many times I did not need his help, opened up the passenger door right before he stepped out."White Diamond." I heard Zeiden speak; his stare drawn to the flashing ran down sign of the pub. "You smell that?"Zeiden questioned; his attention solely on the second uninvited party. Aaron."What?" He looked confused."Liquor, bad food and bad decisions." He inhaled the musky scent that came from the establishment. We all knew the track record of the White Diamond pub. It was no luxurious place of course.There were overly priced beverages, flavorless foods, and many friendly men and women who would pick your pocket in a blink of an eye. Physical altercations were regular. The night ending on a drama free night was unheard of.It was a place I forbid my more unta
#Chapter122"The local hunter born into a family of hunters.""How do you know about my family?" He seemed almost surprised by my information."Your father. The money hungry hunter. Your mother; the ex-wife who just could not stand the dark life your family was living."His jaw clenched tighter; the bone pressing against his flesh."Your brother; your father's leading left hand, even though you are his first born."I could see how I hit a nerve in him."Isn't he the reason your father now frown upon you?""You know nothing." He mumbled; his grimace look now hidden behind his beer mug."Your sister."He looked at me."The rouge hunter who never played by the rules, however she was your father's little princess and can never go wrong in his eyes." I put pressure on him. "Her insanity drove you crazy."I thought for a moment."If I'm not mistaken, I know an Alpha and his woman who are just itching to dig their teeth into her.""I'm nothing like my f
#Chapter123What did you tell them?""Nothing important." I informed Zeiden, confirming our secret."Did you text them?" Zeiden slipped on his shirt."I told them I had some information. They are on their way.""Ok." Zeiden nodded."What am I doing?" I asked doubtfully as I stared out over the back patio."Something stupid." Zeiden leaped down off the patio. "As usual."He took off running. With little effort and a racing mind, I followed him out and into the trees to set up...I had others surround the barriers, spreading out to capture a much larger area of ground. Zeiden remand with me, even when I disapproved of it. I thought his skill; his assets would be needed elsewhere however he thought being by my side would be much more necessary. I sat on a low branch of the sturdiest tree deep inside of the densest part of the woods. With one leg hanging low and the other propped up on the jagged branch, I watched as Zeiden made himself comfortable at the r
#Chapter124They were swift.Characters given great speed and agility that made it almost impossible to catch for most.Sadly for them, I was not one of the most.We had ceased them at the borders; stopping them right before they could enter my territory.As usual, when traveling, there was always a small party. Sometimes the regular faces, other times there were some whom I had seen once and never saw again. This time, only three traveled to meet with us. There was a woman; the same woman who had been seen many times when she accompanied him. Star was her name. She stood behind her leader as her eyes examined the faces of the men who surrounded them. "Jason?" She questioned; curiosity reflecting from her eyes."Hello Star.""What is this?" She pointed toward the small group of men who stood by. "I believe we need to talk."I motioned toward the man who stood by; his identity still withheld behind the hood of his attire."What the hell is this?"
#Chapter125There was complete and utter silence.Everyone's verbal reaction was substituted with bewildered faces and wide rounded eyes. The conversation had taken a turn most did not expect; a conversation that began to reveal something a little more shocking.Christopher Ross.We have all come to terms with the name.The name was originally attached to a man who was long gone. Or supposedly long gone. A man who was supposed to be buried in a cemetery located over one hundred miles away from here.He was supposed to be dead!Christopher, with bright blue discolored eyes, turned to acknowledge the many faces who found his presence a surprise before he settled on my face alone."I'm sure you have many questions.""I do." I answered. "However I'm not the only person you need to answer to." With a slow nod of his head, he spoke."My wife. My daughter." He realized before he looked away; his eyes unfocused as he began to think of the ones he had left behind
