Katie stumbled through the forest, her steps heavy and unsteady. She clutched a stolen gray coat tightly around herself, trying to stave off the cold that had penetrated her body. As soon as she had got out of the water, she swiped a coat from some humans camping close and had intended to use it to cover her nakedness, but now it was serving as a source of warmth only, as it offered close to no reliefWerewolves catching a cold wasn't exactly normal, as they had great immune systems thanks to their regenerative properties. But she was poisoned, and it was messing with her entire body system, if she didn't quickly get the antidote, then it was only a matter of time before her regeneration fell behind, unable to handle the poison, and then her heart stopped.Luckily, she had a cure in the hideout. It didn't make sense to use a poison she didn't have an antidote for. Heck, she should have carried one with her the moment she wore the ring. But she didn't think she'd use it.For some dumb
Bryan after been treated by Selena, was now stood in his bedroom. He took off the jacket his beta had given him, revealing his ripped body. He ran his hand over the numerous scars on his chest, gotten from countless battles he had fought. Each one It made him feel proud as they like a remembrance of the journey he had taken to become an alpha of his pack, but he stopped to look at a particularly huge one on his chest; his hand lingered. This he got on the day he lost everything, his father, his mum, his friend, his home.There was no doubt had countless enemies based on the journey he took, but none of them could have sent an assassin, as they were all dead. Bryan was never one to spare his enemies, which is why sparing an assassin didn't make sense. He knew she was sent by someone, and his main suspect was Logan. So he probably felt it wouldn't do much to kill her, right…wrong. He just couldn't justify his foolishness. Even now when he thought of her, his nether region couldn't h
Katie's eyes shot open, and she stared mindlessly at the ceiling for a couple of seconds before muttering, "I survived." She tried to sit up, but her body refused, punishing her dearly with full-body pain for attempting to move a muscle. Her body still hadn't fully healed, but she could tell the antidote was working—mostly because she was still alive. It was a good thing she had decided to get a cure for the poison, or else she would have been on a trip to hell. She hadn't expected to use it like this, being forced to poison both herself and her target. And it was damn expensive too. "That bastard," Katie cursed, remembering Bryan. She could see why there were rumors about him being difficult to kill. He was domineering. Katie regretted not being able to end things when she had the chance. If only she hadn't missed. She had hesitated to shoot him at the last moment like an idiot and got caught up. He could have killed her easily, but for some reason, he didn't, which gave h
“It's just...I need your help." "You called me because you need my help?" Michael asked as if finding it odd. She could sense an underlying tone of annoyance in his voice. She knew her request wasn't fair, and he had every right to be mad, but she had no choice. "You left without saying a word, despite our relationship, despite how you knew I felt about you. For so long. Yet you call me now asking for help." "Michael..." "How could you be so cruel?!" Michael lashed out. "Do you seriously not know how worried I was? I thought you were dead, but I guess not. You're totally fine—fine enough to call me at your leisure and ask for help." "Michael, I'm sorry, I really am, but you're the only one I can turn to." "I don't care!" Micheal spat. "Maybe you shouldn't have treated me like filth, then I might have given a damn." Katie could sense he was going to hang up, so she quickly said, "It's about Peter." Michael didn't hang up. He knew Peter, and they were close, like brother
Katie had a gut feeling something was wrong or more like something bad was going to happen. It was like an itch she couldn't scratch. ‘Vague and annoying.’She didn't know the specifics but experience told her not to ignore it.“Peter go take off your uniform no school for you today," she said to her brother who was sitting in the living room. "But we have a test today," Peter replied."You can always retake the test." Katie said and then furrowed her brow, “Shouldn't you be asking me why I told you to stay,”"I don't need to, you know I find school boring and annoying.""Well, that's because you have no friends. I told you to try to make at least one. Make things more bearable."Being alone wasn't fun. Katie knew that first hand, as she was a Loner. Loners were shifters without a pack. Outcast, unwanted. Every shifter treats them with wary. Why? Because a huge percentage of them were unrestrained and resorted to violent means to make a living. With Katie being amongst the majority.
Peter what happened?! Katie yelled and ran toward him, she held in him her arms, panic surging through her. His body was hot and he was breathing heavily “Ahh shit,” Katie cursed, thinking she should have just taken him to the healer this morning.“My head,” Peter groaned. “ It feels like it's about to break…ahh”"Don't, worry ill take you to the healer,” Katie carried him, but he suddenly let out a guttural scream that scared Katie. And all of a sudden, he stopped moving and passed out. His body growing limb over Katie's arm, Her heart stopped and for a while, she was motionless, before she moved, she placed him back on the floor and placed her ear on his chest to hear his heartbeat.A silent thump echoed in her ear, and Katie sighed in relief, tears falling out of her eyes. He was alive.“Thank you, moon goddess,”If he had died she didn't know what she would have done. Probably followed him, as the guilt and pain would kill her.Immediately, she picked him up and carried him to the
“Yeah, you heard me right, and if you don't let go of me, you'll have to find another healer elsewhere,” Ralph threatened. “How long does he have?” Katie asked slowly. “A month if I don't do anything about it,” Ralph said. He might be lying, but Katie had no other choice but to believe him. As much as she wanted to rip out his throat, she still needed him to treat Peter, and that pissed her off. Katie bit her lower lip, before she reluctantly let go of him, dropping him to the ground. Ralph stood upright with his hand massaging his neck, and then he straightened his clothes. “You should be thankful that I'm not refusing to heal your brother after the scene you just caused.” He said, and sat on his chair, crossing his legs. “Now, let's get down to business. I'm not healing the kid without getting paid.” “How much do you want? To heal him permanently?” Katie asked, still irritated. “A million Radis,” he grinned. “Are you kidding me?!” Katie growled, her brow furrowed. “I kid you not, it'
Bryan didn't want to be here, didn't want to do this, hold a meeting with a bastard, which a bunch of mindflayers telling him what to do. When they could just go outside, turn wolf and settle their disputes.But that would be too violent and irrational, according to the mediators. As if we weren't primal creatures. What they were concerned about was the humans who are terrified of us. They could get involved and hurt.So meetings were set by mediators who handle disputes between shifters pack, by giving months of reconsideration before the two packs could rip out their throats. If the packs can't come to a resolution, they're free to attack each other packs and are to settle their shits once and for all, no postponing.Today was the final meeting with the troublemaker that wanted his pack for his, and Bryan was just itching to take his throat out.“So, do you want to concede and accept to be integrated into Logan pack?”“Should that even be a question?” Bryan retorted. Logan wanted h
