*Meadow*I sat still, my eyes never leaving the roman-like live statuette before us, my hand though, caressing Caleb's."Why are you here, you amongst all of those of your kind?" Caleb spoke with controlled anger.The man looked around the booth then back at me, giving me a smile. I felt strange; I wasn't affected by what I felt he was trying to do to me, but I didn't felt afraid either.He held his eyes in me while he spoke, pushing Caleb to the edge. "There has been... some circumstances... which have drawn my attention..." His eyes changed a little, as if he noticed something while he was looking at me. "Interesting..." He said and I knew he referred to me."What is interesting?" I asked, Caleb's wolf poised as if to attack, he growled lowly.Aeneas didn't care, he kept staring at me, driving both Caleb and his wolf mad. "You... you are interesting..." He said and I nodded."Do I remind you of someone?" He blinked in surprise to my question and I felt he briefly lowered his g
*Meadow*The way to our home was not a short one, it was one that would allow us time to talk, and I was thankful of that. He took my hand in his and sighed. "I am sorry, Princess. But this seems important."I shook my head. "Don't be sorry, I understand."We drove a bit more in silence then I felt him reach to our special bond. 'Let's talk here, he can't hear us this way.'I squeezed his hand. 'Caleb, he is a vampire, a very old and powerful one, isn't he?' I asked, already knowing the answer.'Yes, that is why I am letting him come to discuss this, if it has to do with Cornelius then it is still something important. He has been gone from our radars for over a week and that is keeping me worried.' I nodded and took a deep breath, I could still feel his presence near us.'Ok... what else should I be aware of vampires? Besides them trying to manipulate every two legs with a skirt?' Caleb chuckled and I giggled, I felt safe with him, so I wasn't afraid, but I knew little of the rea
*Caleb*"Can you explain to me how this is possible?" I asked both Cara and Alex, they shrugged and looked at a very desperate Gideon sitting in a chair.We had just got home half an hour before and I had to make sure our land was secured and the wounded warriors were being taken cared off before I managed to reach the command center. Meadow came here before me though, and according to Cara, Gideon was pacing back and forth mumbling incoherent things until she walked in and then he just stared at her and sat helplessly on the chair."We are as puzzled as you, Alpha," Cara replied to me.I was keeping my eyes at Meadow who sat in silence in front of Gideon. 'Be careful, Princess... he is unstable.'She looked at me and nodded. I wasn't going to let that guy harm her, or even touch her for that matter. I still didn't fully trusted him, but Meadow kept her hopes up for his redemption, and I had to believe in her, she had good hunches on many things.I sighed and looked at Alex. "Wha
*Caleb*The Goddess went out of her way to bless me with Meadow in my life; I was proud of her, and honored to be her mate. Gideon swallowed hard and nodded at her standing up. "Ok, maybe I can stay behind the door and listen, or you have a Gesell Chamber here?" He said asking us. Meadow stood up as well with a smile and nodded. I on the other hand, was scratching my head."A Gesell Chamber is an interrogation room, with a tinted glass that allows others to stand behind it while they watch and hear the interrogation. It is commonly used in psychology research or interview," Meadow explained."We have two of those, yes," Cara replied."Meadow, can you lead the interrogatory?" Gideon asked and I growled."No way in hell she's going to be near that murderer," I said and Gideon flinched and gave a step back."Caleb... he has a reason why he is asking me and not you, either of you," Meadow started approaching me slowly and I tried hard to avoid her look, I couldn't let her go inside t
*Meadow*They walked to the other side of the Gesell Chamber and I took a deep breath before entering. I had goosebumps on my arms, I felt my heart racing through my chest, I was nervous as hell, and then I opened the door and felt the horrible shock of the vision inside. She was pale, with sad, mad eyes, long dirty blond hair and almost naked with her torn clothes. She looked at me half-crazy and half questioning who I was. She took a deep breath and howled softly in pain, shaking her head. I frowned. 'You didn't even give her something else to cover her body?' I sent openly to them and walked into the room, closing the door behind me."Who... the fuck... are you... and why am I still alive...." She spoke her questions with bitterness but I could not let any of this affect me. I might have gone for the human resources job but when I studied Psychology at the university, I had many experiences in internships at places where people in the same mental state as hers, were every day sigh
*Meadow*"Do you want to hear the truth?" I asked her and she nodded. "I wanted to know if you were reachable, and you are. I wanted to know if there was still a human side of you that could feel, and there is... as you have still a sense of humor. And you are a smart woman, defensive but smart. You have been studying me as well, I know you have, even though you pretended to be either offended or annoyed or offensive. It is enough for today, they had you locked long enough. I am going to prepare you a better room, let you have access to a bathroom so you can take a bath, and give you some clothing. And if you are ok with it, I will talk to you tomorrow," I said while she watched me closely, she was half smiling and that was a sign I earned her respect.'Please find a proper room so I can prepare it for her Cara, I won't ask you to prepare it for her, and I will do it myself,' I sent to Cara and saw Agape sighed. "Talk tomorrow... do I have a choice?"I nodded at her. "Yes, you have
*Meadow*I walked towards the command center holding hands with Caleb, I smiled and waved at some of the other wolves who greeted us on the way, and I sighed with content; that afternoon we were preparing to go on a run, my formal welcoming to the pack as a full true Luna, shifted and mated.I saw Gideon standing in the entrance and that broke my train of thoughts. "Hi Gideon, what is wrong?""Hi... nothing, Cara and Alex not letting me in unless it's with you, so... yeah..." He shrugged and I sighed."It is for your own good, please trust me," I tried to calm him and he just shrugged again.Caleb kissed my forehead and released my hand. 'Talk to him if you need to, I will be inside when you are ready,' He sent to me and I smiled.'Thank you,' I sent him back and watched him walk into the building.I sat on the stairs at the entrance and Gideon just stared at the floor in silence. It was not easy to let that go for long but I tried to respect his time. Finally he moved down to t
*Meadow*When I walked in, the view was depressing. She was pale, sad, tears in her eyes, her body and hair clean but she looked like she had not gotten any sleep at all. I sighed and sat on the chair that I brought the day before. She looked at me once, then back to stare at the window. "Cornelius is not here, is he..."I sighed and nodded. "Is he alive?" She asked me and again I nodded, she sobbed and swallowed hard. "You want to use me against him... it won't work... he has no heart anyway..." She said in the most sad and desperate voice, every part of me fighting to contain the tears. "For a moment I thought he was here too... I thought I smelled him...""Agape, you want us to let you go so you can run back to him?" I asked and she looked at me with wide eyes. No, I am not crazy. I heard her words as well as the tone in which they were spoken. She said something that made me think she knows he is bad. Will she still want to go back to him? like those domestic violence victims, w
