The Calling Chapter 21
Chapter 21HadleyLunch was amazing, I felt stuffed to the brim. Zylith complimented everything and burst into the kitchen to thank the staff, I followed trying to get her to lower her voice and I thanked and apologized after her.She was loud and confident everywhere she went. But people didn’t seem to have any problem with her. Eric patiently waited outside the kitchen for us and asked if we were ready to see Cain.After many flights of stairs, we come to double doors and Cain’s deep voice tells us to come in. Eric opens the doors and we enter what looked like a large office.There are shelves and couches lining the walls, with a large table with chairs all around in the middle. Cain was seated at his desk behind a laptop in the far back centre of the room. Behind him was a large window and a view of the grounds surrounding the house.Everything was set in dark colours of wood and metal, Alec comes over and introduces himself to Zylith before greeting me. Cain closes his laptop and

Chapter 22 Hadley “Zylith you should sit.” I look up from my fiddling hands, I have decided to share this with her. I told complete strangers, all be it weird ones with secrets of their own. I should be able to share this with my best friend. “I am not sure how to start with this but, I hope you do not come to hate me afterwards.” I am still staring into her eyes waiting for reply. Zylith takes in a deep breath and sit down next to me again. She looks at me expectantly, “I am not like those assholes from your hometown.” She leans back in the couch and folds her arms waiting for me to begin. I give her the same details I did Alec and Cain before, Eric moved to close the door as soon as I began and is standing behind Alec now. I did not mind them knowing but having an audience did make me more nervous. Zylith sat completely still not moving or showing any emotion. It made telling my secret easier, after I finished Zylith kept still, as though waiting for more. “THAT’S IT?!” She sh

Chapter 23HadleyI woke up the next morning rather early, the sun was barely out but I could not force myself to sleep anymore. I felt excited to finally start investigating and hopefully helping people here.I got dressed in comfortable but a little too tight sportswear and a puffy warm jacket. The sound of people talking outside catches my attention and I make my way to the window.Looking down I see Cain and a few other men talking, with Cain’s back to the house. They are semi-naked with only loose pants hanging dangerously low on the waist, giving a sensual view.This is the first view I have of Cain’s back. I never thought I was into this sort of thing but… you can tell he looks that way from hard work. The muscles on his back are chiselled to perfection and I see dark tattoo’s over his arm, it adds to the big bad Alpha look and I am completely enthralled.I am still engrossed in my admiration of the well-sculpted man when I feel hot breaths fanning the side of my neck. I shriek

Chapter 24 Hadley I left the hall as quickly as I could, I needed fresh air. I felt suffocated in the hall, I was too scared to look up after Zyliths comment. The thought of Cain catching the conversation weighed heavy on my heart. I was afraid he would ask us to leave, saying he didn’t need my help anymore. I am not sure what I feared more, them not wanting my help anymore or not being able to see Cain. Zylith had been advocating the need for me to move on after the shit show that had been my first serious relationship and honestly I did not agree. I just wanted to finish my degree, start my career as an author and lock myself up in luxury till the day I die. Zylith shouted at me many times before that I was not the problem. He was a sick man, I know that but the impression had been a lasting one. I was a freak to him and all he wanted from me was the ability to brag to his stupid friends that he had taken the freak in town to bed. I feel bile rising at the thought of it all, I h

Chapter 25 Hadley Eric and I arrived at the residence of the pack warrior who recently lost his mate during a rogue attack. “Sean,” Eric mentioned his name was. I heard the call the closer we drew to the house. I jumped from the car as soon as we came to a halt and strut up to the front door. I knocked and waited impatiently rocking back and forth on my heels. There was no reply. I knocked again, only to be met with silence. I felt nervous, I needed to get in there. Eric as if sensing my need pushed past me and slammed his fisted hand hard on the door. Still, nothing. “We need to get in there, something is not right.” Eric nodded his head in agreement, his lips pressed in a thin line. Eric moves back a little before ramming the side of his large frame into the door, the door bursts clear off its hinges clearing our way in. I follow Eric into the home, when Eric stops to take out his phone. He looked at the screen before looking up at me, ”It’s Kaleb, they might have found some

Chapter 26 Hadley “I don’t want to be alone.” The words shocked me, it was the truth, I was scared and being alone right now made the fear in me grow. But then why would I ask him to stay? Was it because Zylith was not here, or is some part of my unconscious mind pulling me to him. He has proved my saviour in the past and again today, but did I maybe want more. Maybe I wanted to explore an aspect of life I had been avoiding. I looked up, my eyes met Cain’s and they were pitch black, staring right at me. A low rumble of approval coming from his chest. I was unsure of what to do next and Cain, as if sensing my uncertainty starts to remove his clothes. My face blushed when he moved to unbuckle his belt, his pants falling to the floor in a heap. Cain is in only his underwear, steam from the shower fills the room and he looks like he just stepped out of a photo shoot. Broad shoulders, big arms, his torso hard and rigid with muscles. The view of his tanned skin and dark tattoo makes m

Chapter 27 Hadley A deep sigh leaves Cain’s delicious-looking lips and I avert my gaze hoping no one caught me gawking, “Hello Erica,” he walks over giving her a side hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I did not expect you back so soon.” “Well, yes but when I heard the news…I just had to see it for myself.” Erica looks at me while speaking and I feel there is a hidden meaning behind it. “I am so happy for you my dear,” Erica speaks to Cain and cups his cheek while she gives him a warm smile. My chest constricts painfully, I am reminded that this is the kind of love and care I never had and probably never will. Yet another thing they have that I do not, and I wish to help them? A cold smirk forms on my face, I have been deceiving myself by insisting I help them, when they so clearly do not need my help. Big strong people that change into big strong wolves, who have happy functional relationships and families. Zylith is right I am deluding myself with thoughts of grandeur. Any thoughts

Chapter 28 Cain After Eric abruptly ended the call, anxiety hits me and I knew I needed to find Hadley, my wolf paced my mind and would not have let up until we had seen her ourselves. When I saw Hadley on that bathroom floor covered in blood my heart nearly stopped, I thought that after all this waiting, I had found her only to lose her again. Seeing how pale she looked I swept her up and took her to my home, I did not want to return to the packhouse and possibly have to share her with Zylith, or anyone else for that matter. She was lost in thought the entire ride over, only snapping out of it when I started removing her bloodied jacket. My wolf and I needed to take care of her, to calm our own rapidly spiralling thoughts, but seeing her shocked expression made me realize I may have overstepped the line. I was about to leave when she grabbed my shirt, she looked just as shocked by the action as I was. My excitement at her action was quickly doused by the ‘sorry’ that left her lip

The Calling Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Hadley Alucard raises a brow at my statement and I retreat to my nervous tick and fiddle with my fingers. I hope he doesn’t pick up on the light shake in my body. “I told her that I knew you would want to help us with the information we needed. The rogues don’t leave any scent and seem to disappear after every attack, they kill more people every time.” Zylith informs and that seems to catch his attention. His eyes dim and he straightens, “I would like a bit more detail.” He walks off halting just outside the door, “I will wait for you in my study.” He doesn’t wait for a reply and walks off. Zylith comes over to me taking my shaking hands into her steady ones. “Are you okay?” I quickly nod yes, “He scares me, I didn’t feel this scare with Cain and his people.” Zylith gives me a soft smile. We go to the study after putting on our shoes and a jacket. Alucard is standing with a book in hand but doesn’t glance up, he already knew we were coming. He closes the book with a l
The Calling Chapter 33
Chapter 33 Hadley What caught my attention most was his burning red eyes in the dark. The sight terrified me to the bone. This was different from the wolfs, they had a sense of warning and intimidation to them but from this man I only sensed death. “Alucard. It’s me, Zylith.” Zylith said in a strained voice before dropping to the floor in a heap. “The little human?” His voice was smooth and emotionless, with an elegant English accent. Old vampire dude with an English accent, doesn’t that just sound right? I didn’t miss how both Cain and him called us little humans. We are not little these supernatural people are just overgrown. “Yeah you old bastard,” Zylith answered chest heaving. “So why the hell would you go and grab me like that? Scared of a little human girl?” The lights lit up again and his eyes faded to a beautiful brown. His nails pulled back into his fingers and I saw him give her a small smile. The only emotion to show on his face. She through insults at him but he was
The Calling Chapter 32
Chapter 32 Hadley That night we couldn’t sleep, we probably needed the rest but my stomach wouldn’t allow it, doing constant flips and I considered not going a few times. We dressed warmly and prepared ourselves for the trip as best we could. We dressed warmly and rummaged the closet for any comfortable walking shoes. Zylith still had the boots they gave her for searching with the patrol. It was around 2 am when the call manifested in sound and light leading from my bedroom all the way into the woods. “Are you sure we will be safe?” I asked one last time and Zylith promised it would be fine. I wrote a small note for Cain, telling him that we were leaving to do something only we could and that we would be back. At the end, I put a small sorry and signed my name. I have to say the glowing trail did make things a great deal easier. We sneaked into the hall and saw a different path from before leading to a section of the mansion we had not been. I told Zylith about the path, the cal
The Calling Chapter 31
Chapter 31HadleyAttempting to sneak back into the lounge was a resounding failure. Everyone gave us knowing glances and after passing the mirror above the console table I knew why. My cheeks were flushed and my hair a bit messy. From my rose cheeks, erased lipstick and the fact that Cain and I had been all alone, it was pretty obvious what went on.Everyone chatted till late at night and I have to say, it was the most fun I had in a long time. It was a wonderful feeling being so accepted, feeling so normal. I couldn’t help but look over at Cain the entire night, he was all I could see.Everyone went home leaving Zylith, Cain and I alone in the mansion. Zylith went off to take a shower and get ready for bed. I walked over to Cain in the hall after Zylith left and in an act of bravery, I cautiously embraced him in a hug.He seemed surprised at first but very quickly relaxed into my embrace and wrapped me up in his arms. It was warm, he smelt nice and I don’t recall ever feeling so saf
The Calling Chapter 30
Chapter 30CainI love seeing the effect I have on my little human, the bond causes intense attraction between two mates and she was no exception. I had my eye on her throughout the entire meal, why the hell was she so far away?Seeing her looking our way I just couldn’t stop myself from going to her, but I required an excuse to do so. I handed her the drink and couldn’t help but stare. She hated it, I took advantage of the opportunity to inch closer to her.‘I see things are going well.’ Alec’s irritating voice comes through the link.‘Fuck off,’ I reply curtly, irritation laced in my words at the unwelcomed interruption. They have intruded enough as is. I do not look away from Hadley for a second.‘I see Zylith is all but forgotten.’ He still continues through the link.‘That was a misunderstanding. She likes men.’ I say with a bit of smugness.‘Oh thank the goddess! The entire pack has been on edge. Alec shouts through the link and shortly after I hear almost every wolf in the room
The Calling Chapter 29
Chapter 29 Hadley After explaining that Zylith was not the love of my life, Cain guided me downstairs to the others and I apologized for my abrupt and very rude exit. Everyone was more than understanding, kind even, which only made me feel like more of an asshole. Cain told me that we would all be having dinner after eight. Erica swept me away for the day. Alec and Avery abandoned me to the never-ending energy that was Erica. Does she never tire? God my feet are killing me and I felt like I have lost track of all time. Erica put me in a black dress that was far too tight, reaching knee length with it being longer in the back and long sleeves. The front was high reaching my collar bone, while the back ran low completely exposing my skin. This was too much I thought until I saw the underwear… what was even the point, I can see right through it? The heels were painfully high and after tripping over my own feet four times she gave in and let me have lower but equally pretty heels. The
