The Calling Chapter 8
Chapter 8Cain POVThe rogues are retreating, bastards did not deserve to get away. I catch my breath before pursuing them. I needed one alive, I had questions that needed to be answered. I rush at a lone rogue, our bodies colliding and barreling into a tree. My back took the brunt of the impact.My vision blurs, and I stagger to my feet, the rogue takes off. I push forward as far as I can before the last bit of my strength leaves me. The wolfsbane had halted my healing, my injuries were overwhelming. My consciousness fades and I wonder if this is how I die. I was sure one of the rogues would come to finish me off....I hear my wolf in the back of my mind urging us to get up. My eyes fly open, I see sharp lights and a white ceiling. The scent of disinfectant is thick in the air, the wolfsbane had been scrubbed from my wound. I sit up on the bed, the wounds across my chest and arms healed perfectly. I am wearing scrub bottoms from one of the hospital staff I assume.I start to wonder

Chapter 9We are discussing the schedule for border patrol when Alec’s voice comes through the link, informing me that my mate is awake. After two torturous days, she finally wakes up. I had been by her side as often as my schedule permitted, knowing the bond allowed for mates to recover faster and ease each other’s pain. I was intent on helping her heal as she had for me, albeit unintentional on her part.Alec had informed the pack days prior of my human rescuer, Doctor Anders had taken special care of my mate, ensuring her comfort in every way. Alec offered to stay near her to inform me as soon as she woke. And more importantly for her protection, knowing that Alec would be there gave me and my wolf comfort.My little mate was human, having a human mate came with many challenges. Humans were not privy to our world. She did not have a wolf and the strength that accompanied it. Without a wolf, she could not feel the mate bond as we do.My wolf’s possessiveness towards our human mate w

Chapter 10Cain POVLearning the name of my mate had been the only highlight of my day. I blocked off my love crazed wolf to help maintain control and not freak her out. Yet I managed to have her fall on her ass, scare the shit out of her, have a panic attack and pass out all in the neat little pocket of an hour.I have been doing splendidly. After she woke up we learned her name along with her adorable little theory about the pack. I lost control for a second and my wolf lashed out at her for mistaking us for a bear. A demonic one at that. Her mind was doing the best it could to fit the pieces together and she had no idea how accurate her little bear joke was.We were a pack of werewolves not bears, but the animal reference was spot-on. I loved how despite her being scared she burst out in anger and said what she had been keeping bottled up inside. Alec attempted to deter her cult assumptions but she did not look convinced.I did not blame her, we weren’t giving her any explanations.

Chapter 11 Hadley POV We are pulling up to one of the biggest houses I had ever seen. Was this the norm for these people? I hide my awe at the huge mansion as I head up the stairs and into the front door. Once inside it only grows. I cannot help my mouth hanging slightly agape at the sight of the impressive living area. There are no other people that I can see but the space is obviously meant to accommodate many. There are comfortable couches spread around with bookshelves lining the area, on the far corners I see a huge tv and coffee table in the middle. The area was surprisingly clean considering the size of the space and the large staircase tells me there is more to see on the upper floors. How many levels were there? I am lost in thought when a loud bang brings me back to reality. What am I doing? I should not be admiring any of this, I am leaving this place one way or the other. My heart is beating like a drum and I see a gorgeous girl heading straight for me. She forces a h

Chapter 12HadleyI am joining a cult. . .Food.That’s how they get you. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know who made it and I really don’t know who cleared my plate. I am slouched back in my seat, holding my stomach, my mouth is slightly open and I am catching my breath while looking at the surprisingly nice ceiling.“Are you okay?” Alec’s mocking tone came. “It was just so amazing.” I hear Alec snicker along with a few other people around us. Did I talk that loud? I think I feel a little hot.I might have felt self-conscience at the amount of food I scoffed down but then I saw Alec and pretty much every other person here eat three times the amount I did. I can’t remember the last time I had a proper meal like this. Probably before Jess… I sigh heavily as the sound of ringing brings me back to the present. I watch Cain get up and head out to take a call. Perfect ass.“Is this everyone living in town?”“No, many are working. We try to have a dinner like this once every week, it al

Chapter 13HadleyGetting to the room I lock the door behind me before stripping off my clothes. I head into the closet, and take out a loose fitted top that reaches just below my ass. I get comfortable under the covers, mulling over the day’s events.Avery’s open personality relaxed me into a false sense of security. I feel like there was a textbook that warned about ways in which people could manipulate you. I will not allow myself to get hurt again.I debated getting out of bed and just leaving right now. But I had no idea where I was, and my rash actions proved fruitless before. I’ll just sleep for tonight and insist on being taken into town tomorrow.…{Sound of warning}I shoot up from the bed and my eyes quickly adjust to my dark surroundings before I try and figure out where the call is coming from. I see a soft blue glow outside. Is this now a permanent thing that they do?The call of warning comes again and I can feel my body shaking, an involuntary response to a sound that

Chapter 14 Cain My little human came into the dining hall in a dress that showed off her figure perfectly while leaving enough for the imagination. My wolf stirred in my mind, wanting to claim her as ours in front of everyone, warding off any unwanted suitors. The dress reached mid-thigh showing off the very fucking sensual look of her bare legs and feet in only stockings. An image of her slowly taking off her clothes and walking over to me crosses my mind, my wolf nods furiously in agreement at the sight. She had her hair up showing off her bare shoulder and neck. The spot where my mark would someday be. My wolf’s mouth salivates at the sight of her. Being without a mate for so long had proved more difficult than I had originally thought. Most wolves find their mate within the first two years of their 18th birthday. I however have waited seven years. My wolf’s sanity weaning by a tether. Madness has consumed us during the heat of battle before. Alec has received many blows shield

Chapter 15HadleyIt’s strange how one’s fears always come true. He asked the question that has been replaying in my mind on an endless loop for the past three years. My heart had only just calmed when it started racing again.“Please just let me leave, you don’t need to see me again. I won’t tell anyone about your town. Please just let me leave.” I beg as my body begins to shake.“Sweety, we don’t want you to leave, please, calm down. Why don’t you take a bath and then when you are ready you can come and talk to us?” Avery speaks softly, still rubbing my back in comfort.I shake my head and move to get off the bed. I am about to fall to my knees in front of this man and beg if that means I can leave.“You helped save the life of one of my men. Whatever it is, we are thankful to you for helping us.” I stop in my tracks at Cain’s words.‘Thankful’, no one has ever been thankful before. They all hated me, said I was a freak, wanted to ‘use’ me for what I was worth. The thought of it alo

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
The Calling Chapter 28
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 27
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
The Calling Chapter 26
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
