Dacre

My breathing was hard and I had a dozen or so wounds on my body. Everything seemed like a blur as I slowly made my way toward the wolf.

That wolf was sniffing something and the way he had howled in pain made me feel that there was something I would find there.

But why was the wolf looking down at the floor?

Soon, the wolf transformed into a human and I saw him shaking wildly.

Just who was he?

My steps faltered as exhaustion began to rake through me, making me feel dizzy. I felt an overgrowing sensation of fear and numbness sweeping through me as I collapsed on the ground.

The man looked familiar. He pulled something closer to himself and was cradling someone in his arms.

I saw the familiar dress of Clarissa on his lap and it was as if my heart stopped beating for a second.

I willed myself to get up again on my feet and walk towards them, though I was swaying dangerously.

Talia reached them before I did and she let out a shriek.

“Noooooooooooo”

I scampered towards them and saw Cl

    DacreSilas cut me off, “I did not ask for an order and if you send me away, don’t bother talking to me again.”Then he abruptly cut the phone off and I could only stare at the phone in shock with disbelieving eyes.Clarissa’s family were all huddled together, crying and sobbing in each other's arms, comforting each other while I sat alone.A mirthless chuckle escaped my lips. I was alone as I had always been. I decided to close my eyes and rest for a bit to catch my breath.I could hear the faint murmuring of everyone besides me and soon there were a few people being brought in for treatment.Those who had not sustained grave injuries were likely treated by the pack doctor but those who were severely injured were brought to the city hospital.I was not sure at what time I fell asleep but I was woken up by someone’s gentle nudge. I lazily opened my eyes to see a face smiling at me.“Clary…” I breathed as I saw her smiling nervously at me. My heart skipped a beat and nearly jumped out

    DacreA small voice spoke to me. In my head.“I told you already. I am calling in for a favor”I replied as I heard a lazy voice reply to me without much emotion“And what might that be?”I heard the distinct noise of her stifling a yawn so I answered, “I need you to save someone’s life”The laziness was wiped off her voice in an instant and an old woman revealed herself. She had long gray hair, wrinkly hands and her tooth were crooked. “A life debt? Interesting. Do you have the means to pay it back?”She asked and I answered, “I will do anything you ask for, Grendel. Now just do as I asked. I need you to save Clarissa Emerson’s life. She is possibly at the death’s door and she has lost a lot of blood. She is in the ICU in the hospital behind me.”The old lady cackled, “At last. Master will be free. But are you sure young boy that you want to be indebted to him? You know the rules.”I had given it a lot of thought. I knew this would bring me a lot of trouble but for now, I had to sav

    ClarissaI felt as if I was suspended in between two worlds, wandering aimlessly. I looked around but there was nothing to help me guess where I was. I looked down and there was nothing.Just a sea of clouds below my feet. I felt as if I walking…no not walking but floating with them. The bones in my body felt like liquid and my skin felt the same.I looked down at the dress I was wearing and subconsciously touched the wound I had receivedBut when I touched there was no wound. Forget the wound there was not even a scar.I then tried to get a look at my shoulder but again there was nothing.The memories of the battle came back to me like a flood that threw me back. The battle…the blood…the deaths.Where was I and where was my family? Where was Dacre?I had been lying on the grass and drenched in blood. I looked around in confusion and rubbed my eyes so as to clear my vision.But, there was nothing around me except empty air for as long as I could see.I wandered around aimlessly before

    ClarissaI felt myself being thrown into oblivion and I screamed my lungs out but no sound came. I kept yelling and shouting but it was as if I was traveling down a huge vortex at the speed of a rocket.I could not see anything around me as it was blurred and my eyes felt dizzy.I thought I would throw up when suddenly I was suspended mid air. My eyes tried to focus but the force with which I was being sucked down was too great. It was black all around me as I stopped midair.My body was suspended and I tried to understand what was the reason for me to suddenly come to a halt.I looked around and then I saw a yellowish dot on the very end of the labyrinth I was in. Well, that was what I thought of the place I was.The yellow dot began to grow larger and larger until it turned into the shape of a tennis ball. Then it began to elongate and soon it began to….sizzle?I realized with a start that it was a flame. A small flame had appeared and then it seemed to approach me.I tried to move

    DacreI just finished talking to Grendel and the cloud above the small bowl disappears when I feel a tap on my shoulder.“I have been looking for you all over and here you are.”Silas placed his hands on his hips as he glared at meI quickly hid the bowl behind my back and placed it in the small envelope before replying“Just wanted some fresh air”I answered and sneaked the object back into my pockets just when Silas pulled me into an embrace.“I was worried sick about you”He said and I felt the genuine concern in his voice. It was difficult for me to not notice the way his voice cracked a little.“Just why didn’t you call me? I would have come sooner.”He said while holding me by the shoulders.“I needed somebody I could trust back home.”I spoke with a rueful smile and a small smile appeared on his lips as well.“How is everybody?” I asked and his smile disappeared as easily as it had appeared.“They are recovering. It would take some time but they will be fine, I guess.”He answe

    acreI patted Clarissa’s head gently and my eyes flicked to the window. I saw her twin poking her head in and I gave her a thumbs up to show that everything was okay.Clarissa smiled and I asked her to rest a bit.It was as if a big weight had been lifted off my chest. She was breathing steadily and a small smile had crept on her lips.She was okay so I was going to be okay.I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding and then got up from the bed. When I walked out, I was subjected to questioning glances.Her family was staring at me with hopeful eyes and I just spoke to nobody in particular.“She is doing fine”I heard them all take a collective gasp of breath as the frown lines on their foreheads disappeared.Clarissa’s mom walked over to me and grabbed my hand.“Thank you so much”She leaned a bit and almost touched her forehead to my hands. I felt a bit awkward and Ia had no idea how to reply.So, I just said, “You all need to rest too. Go home and catch on some sleep”I f

    DacreI tried to sleep but it evaded me so I spent a few hours tossing and turning in the bed. Having no idea what to do next, I decided to get up from the bed and take a look around. The family was still in the hospital and I did not think many of them were around. They were all too worried about Clarissa and the guy who had escorted us earlier told us that they would probably stay the night there.The coast was clear.I had the entire house ot myself.Thus, I looked around and saw that there was nobody in the home and even the guards were probably catching on some sleep. It was quiet so I tiptoed my way toward their rooms.My brain wanted to go and check her father’s study but my heart decided to go elsewhere. My feet automatically moved in the direction of her room and I slowly approached it.The doors to their room were just closed from the outside and I only needed to twist the doorknob to get in.A soft breeze of wind splashed in my face when I opened the door. There were two b

    DacreI tilted my head as the small stem came towards me, hopping over the wines.“Who are you and how did you see me?”The little guy asked as he tried to untangle himself out of the vines that were all around him.The vines were all large and he was having a hard time jumping through the hoops and not getting caught up in the thick vines.He walked up to me and smiled.“Hi, you are known as?”The little guy asked as he raised his eyebrows and I replied,“Dacre Caldwell.”He looked at me with a shrug and bowed a little.“I am known as the stick”I gave an amused smile, “Obviously, you are”He appeared to be proudly smiling as he waved his hand at me. Then he looked at me with a questioning gaze and asked.“How did you know I was watching over Clarissa?”I chuckled and answered, “Well for starters, I don’t think something as delicate as you would harm her, no offense. Plus, the angle of the window looks over to her bed, not Talia’s.”Stem scratched his small head and replied, “I am mo

    I spoke and Venzara stopped making Mary slap herself. “Fine. well, they were a notorious specimen to instigate and their leader was particularly hard to coax but I managed to throw the blame on them by filling their heads with awful things about those in power. I wanted Klout and the other four guardians out of power so that I could reign single handedly.” Klout yelled loudly, “Just take her away from my eyes or I will kill her right here and right now.” He was teeming with anger. All of us had been fooled by a single woman- a power hungry, ruthless woman. Not demons not witches but one of us. Then Mary again shuddered and I felt the silky dress of Venzara brush against me as MAry howled, “What? What is happening? Why am I being held by the guards? Sir, the boys are at fault?” Mary cried as Venzara chuckled beside me. Klout slapped Mary hard and spoke, “You are going to be executed for your crimes. Take her away from my sight.” He barked and then also instructed the guards t

    DacreHer earlier pitiful voice was replaced by her usual smug and arrogant expression for a while.“That was for what you did to my sister. Yes, my sister was one of the women you murdered and I have been keeping an eye on you ever since then.”Mary raised her hand to slap Mrs. Bryant as we all simply stared at the revelation, too confused to understand what was going on.A familiar voice spoke in my head, “Sorry, but this woman just drove me out of this hag’s body by startling me.”I scoffed.So, even the demoness could be startled.That was why Mary’s expression had suddenly changed.But then it went back to being all sorry and pitiful yet again as Mary continued, “Yes, I deserve all the hate. I have done awful things to get into power. At first, I wanted to be luna but Thaddeus was too dumb to take notice of me. He was busy fucking around women so that played in my favor. But then I realized he was not respected much so when one of the other elders of the pack got suspicious of me

    DacreShe then turned to us, “what matters is what punishment you would give to these boys for violating dozens of our laws and putting the lives of every werewolf in jeopardy.”Mary droned on and on while I tried hard to maintain a stoic expression.My eyes flicked to Silas who was staring at her with a murderous expression.He mind linked to me, “how long are we going to sit quietly and let her sing hymns of our glorious betrayal to the werewolf kind?”I let out a sigh, “I want to find out if the council head is in this too.”“I mean yeah he is a shithead but would he really be involved in it?”Silas asked and I shrugged, “you never know”We fell silent as Mary presented her case in front of Klout who looked down at us with distaste.“Do you have anything to plead guilty to? I will not be impartial to you. It is against the council’s belief in fair justice.”I got up from the ground and looked him straight in the eye.“I and Silas were chosen for this mission from the get go and so

    DacreSilas gave me an understanding look,“I think she mixed something in my food from time to time to make me sleep and then she would tell father of what a lazy son he had. He obviously believed her and I was caned and whipped on occasion.She told him that this was necessary for the future alpha to be strong and dominating.”“What?”This time it was Venzara who shrieked and I gave a humorless chuckle.“Yeah, I only remember bits and pieces of it. Thankfully, one elder saw her mixing something in my food and discovered it to be sleeping pills. Mary was thrown out and I never saw her again. I was too young to voice out my worries as everybody was extremely afraid of dad and his anger. Even the elders had to face his ire for whisking away Mary but somehow they got rid of her and dad just went to another woman I guess.”I completed and Silas patted my shoulder, “I…I never knew”That was all he could offer and I heard his voice crack.“I had pushed the memories of my childhood deep int

    Dacre“Well, I have figured out a lot of things. Of how, you nearly killed all of the children my father had ever had, of how you poisoned those around my mother and made them abandon her, and of how you tried to take the position of luna in our pack as well.”If she was stunned by my revelation, she did not answer directly.“What rubbish? Your father asked me to be his luna, in fact, he was after me for years, begging me to take up the throne. I hear that he has still not gotten over me and goes from one brothel to another, looking for a woman to fuck or two.”She wheezed and I had a mad urge to smack her right in the face.Ignoring her accusations, I asked, “What do you know of the demon summonings? How are you involved in all of this?She drummed her fingers on a nearby tree trunk and replied, “I am an Inquisitor appointed by the Council head himself. I am here to investigate matters.”Before I could answer, Silas suddenly pointed at her and spoke, “I saw her face…in that file”Her

    DacreI felt glad that I did not have to worry about Silas as Venzara and Yesmir would look after him.I increased my speed and tore through the bushes and wild patches of grass, thick shrubs, and thorny trees as the surrounding around me turned into a blur.Soon, the forest began to thin and I saw the first hint of yellow and dried grass that reached my ears.I immediately climbed a small hill to see where exactly we were. The windmill stood like a lone wolf in the distance and I let out a relieved sigh.I had been right about the direction though I had traveled there just once and that too through the road.Silas seemed to be floating in the air with a grumpy look as I feared Venzara was languidly roaming her fingers on him.I could only mind link to him and say, “Patience. We will be there in another twenty minutes or so”He only grunted in response and I stifled a chuckle as I tore through the long yellow grass.We were running through the open with no tall trees to camouflage us

    DacreThe eyes looked hurt and I began walking towards a clearing a bit farther away from Silas.“Are you hungry?” I asked and she sniffed.“I don't know what to make of that reply” I answered honestly and I felt her eyes water.Damn, I had never imagined a demoness to throw a tantrum like a silly human teenage girl. But then women were a complicated species, one I had not even begun to comprehend.“Do you recall the last time I was fed?”I gave her an incredulous look. “You fucked Jake senseless. I thought that should keep you full for days”If I had meant to appease her, I managed to do the opposite.“I am not bound to Jake, I am bound to you…and Clarissa by definition.”I recalled the way Clarissa had offered her blood to Venzara who had sipped on her veins as if it was some exotic drink.“So?”“So, you both need to feed me from time to time or I have to look for nourishment elsewhere.”My eyes went wide at the thought of her and Clarissa making out.“You mean…you would…well, never

    DacreThe girls left with Jake while I heard Venzara’s sigh as she neared us, both her and Yesmir were invisible but I knew she was around us.The way towards the mill was going to be a long one but we decided to simply turn into our werewolf selves and run towards the destination.I had never gone on a mission without Silas and running with him would make me feel better.Maybe his keen eyes would find out something I might have overlooked as a potential clue to the whereabouts of Mark and the other two men or maybe more occultists….and someone I wasn’t sure I wanted to meet again.I had a bag with my clothes stashed in it inside my car so I could always change into them when I reached it.With that thought, we both began walking toward the outskirts of the city so that we might change into our wolf forms and start running in our wolf forms.As we walked towards the outskirts, my phone beeped and I pulled it out of my pocket.I had received a text from Clarissa.We reached our tempora

    DacreWas I a real pervert or was the demoness’ magic making me horny?No matter what was going on between the two of us, the fact remained that she was the daughter of a man who had threatened to rip me off of my title, my rights, my dream, and my pack… everything that mattered to me if I did not do as he asked.When I recalled the past, my fists clenched and I felt anger surge through me.But I threw one look at her and saw the look on her face. She seemed to be sad and lost in thought.I tried to lighten the mood as Shadow whispered of how much of a close friend she considered me to reveal her jealousy.My heart swelled with pride and something else twitched in my pants too but now was not the time to do anything.I was going to give her the sweetest experience and make her know that she was a Queen who could make any man swoon for her.And, then I thought of a wicked idea that made me rub my hands together in delight.“Is that why you were worrying about me sacrificing virgins?
