ZAVIER POVOne of my favorite virtues was certainly not patience.For two hours I had been standing right there at a spot waiting, waiting for her to call but still I had gotten nothing.The thought of what she could be going through at this moment, nibbled at my heart slowly till nothing was left of it than a fragment of what it used to be.There is nothing I could do and it was obvious that I could not take my wolf on a run as it was difficult to transition with the mindset I had at the moment.The alignment of mind was totally tampered with, then with no idea of where she was it had been easier to deal with it, but now that I was aware of her impending danger all what my mind was after is to have her right there in my palms again.It seemed too much like a wish and considering how Bianca had described the fortress it would be a very difficult move for her, but then she had sworn with her life to get her out alive.At first, I had asked that I come with her— I could start a war if

Bianca said, taking out a stick from the cigarette box.She took off the sweat shirt that had been on her exposing the black wolf tattoo on her left upper arm."Did she see that?" I nudged at the tattoo."No, she didn't…I am not sure she would have paid much attention to it either, if she did."

Concrete walls. Concrete floors—That were engraved with what looked to be the head of a wolf to other things around the house.He took time helping with the stitches and running his fingers along my back as he made to ease the pain that had accumulated over the time that I had been there.Zavier popped two tablets into my hands asking to have adequate rest before walking out of the door again.When he was gone, I walked to the phone at the bedside and thought about ringing River.
