Edith was putting some clothes into an open suitcase on the bed. Edith rolled her eyes as she put in the last suit. "It's done! After working on it for an hour...when it would have only taken me half an hour or even less. You're making me unfocused Seth!" complained Edith. Seth just grinned. He removed his hand from Edith's waist and laid himself down on the sofa to look at Edith. It seemed like Edith's charm would not run out even if Seth looked at her all day long. The thought of Edith's plain body without clothes occupied Seth's mind. He thought that he should savour his wife because in a few hours he would be leaving England for France. "Have you ever travelled far in wolf form?" asked Edith, breaking Seth's reverie. "Not yet. There are more convenient means of transport, why should I tire myself out by running and swimming. I don't like sweating for something like that. Any other sweat is fine," Seth said as he grinned mischievously at Edith. "By the Moon Goddess, give your
Edith saw the woman smiling warmly as she looked at her. Edith felt the gentle touch of the woman's hand. Edith did not smile back but shed tears as she looked her. "Mommy, I remember everything!" "Oh, my little girl. I'm sorry dear!" Jovanka took Edith into her arms. She had wanted to meet her little daughter for so long and only now was her wish realised. When Edith was unconscious and almost lost her life. "I'm sorry that I have to leave you when you were so little. But you don't have to worry anymore dear, you can always bring me a visit," she added. "Why does my life have to be like this, mommy? Why do they all want me? What did we do to them?" asked Edith as she sobbed with tears already running down her cheeks. "Hush, don't say it like that. Edith, every creature that lives in this world must have its own destiny and purpose in life. Destiny is never wrong and neither is the person who determines that destiny. Maybe you've met your grandmother. Your presence in this world
Seth had been thinking hard ever since he heard Kai's statement about the French vampires hunting for veela blood. He thought of all the possibilities that could happen, but he couldn't find a bright spot in all the recent events. His feelings of hatred towards Kai had to be put aside for the time being. He needed as much information about the vampires as possible, so he decided to accept Kai to live in the pack house for the time being. Right now Seth's mind was so scattered. Jadden's ritual that would be held tomorrow made the werewolves share their duties. Seth also had to think about his pack and Jadden happened to be his best friend, so he had to focus on his best friend first. From his work room, Seth could see how Edith was preparing the ritual for Jadden and his mate with the other she-wolves. Since yesterday, Edith had been busy with ritual details that made her pacing back and forth between rooms in the pack house. "Seth, why don't we have a ritual like Jadden and his ma
"How did you know that Edith was kidnapped?" Seth felt suspicious about Kai knowing where Edith was being kept. The problem was that the ones holding Edith were French vampires based on Jadden's report to him. Those vampires also attacked Jen. They dared to take the risk of attacking a werewolf in Red Crescent Moon's territory. "I was walking out of school on my way home and I saw Edith being carried into a black van. I followed the van and arrived at the basement where Edith was being held. The people who kidnapped Edith were humans, there were three of them. After the vampires got Edith, the three humans left in their van. It seemed like the Elite Hunter paid them to kidnap Edith. They're not daywalkers like me." Hearing his explanation at length, Seth could think that everything made sense. One thought that became a question in Seth's mind was the Elite Hunter Kai was referring to earlier. "From what I can deduce this is Mikael's doing, the leader of the vampire clan and one of
One year ealier... [Someone wants to see you, Alpha Matthieu] The wolf with black fur mixed with light brown spoke to the black wolf in front of him. The wolf's head lowered to await the Alpha's orders about his guests. [Yes, send them in!]said the Alpha. Two pale-skinned men stepped into the room that was more like a garden as it was roofless and dominated by blue Iris flowers on each side. The full moon reflected in the eyes of the Alpha who had turned to face his two guests. The Alpha had already shifted into human form before they entered the room. "Bonsoir, Alpha Matthieu!" "Can I count on you?" asked straightforwardly with a haughty face. "Of course, Alpha Matthieu. We are trained to accomplish missions without being tracked and leave no trace," said the man with the bulbous nose. "Your mission is to kill Alpha Christian, the Luna is a plus and I'll give you a bonus. I've been baiting him by asking them for favour against the new vampires. He is not a powerful fighting w
Edith was watching the bright brown furry wolf biting the neck of the white furry wolf below her. Her human side told her that Edith was unable to see the scene unfolding before her eyes. Just as Seth said, she was lucky to be pregnant Julian at the time and also that she was not a wolf. Seth had turned himself into a human and sat next to Edith who was still fixated staring at the two wolves who were fulfilling their desires. Seth noticed the grimace on Edith's face. He chuckled when the next second Edith covered her face with her hands. "You're lucky that you're not a wolf, so I don't have to be like Jadden to claim you as my own, baby," Seth whispered in Edith's ear as her face tightened. "Will it take long? I feel really pity for Claire." Seeing it happen in front of her made Edith even more nervous because of the sounds the two wolves were making. Seth didn't answer, instead he laughed at the expression on Edith's face. "Seth, can I go back to the room? I can't see it anymor
"Hi, Seth!" A girl of medium height approached the table where Edith and Seth were enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria. Edith looked intently at the girl who didn't even care about the gaze that fell on her. "Gloria!" said Jadden and Will simultaneously with surprised looks on their faces. Seth's face turned flat and impassive, and he didn't even return Gloria's greeting. Edith noticed Seth's change in his expression. She turned her gaze to Jadden who looked awkward. Edith dropped her gaze on Will who was expressing with a forced smile. "Can I join you guys?" asked Gloria who had widened her smile. "NO! Come on Edith, we'll take a meal out, I want to skip class today. Jadden, I'll borrow your book and ask you not to deal with this woman!" said Seth as he hardened his jaw. Seth immediately pulled Edith's hand to follow him in leaving the canteen and skipping school today. He gripped Edith's hand firmly and quickened his pace towards the car. Edith just watched Seth's strange b
"Is that true?" Jadden widened his eyes when he heard Will's words, even his mouth was wide open as if Will had suffocated him with every word. " When did I ever lie to you, did biting Claire dull your sense of hearing? Hope must have howled that time!" "How can a wolf be focused when marking, my friend, unless it's focused on our mate," Jadden said as he winked at the blonde woman who was cutting meat at three o'clock from Jadden. "From what I've heard over there, Eva and Chris are planning something to give the French Alpha a hard time," Will added. "Seth is really lucky that you're close to Eva, just like I thought you would be." Jadden put his arm around Will's shoulders who was shorter than him. Both of them were going to the Liverpool area to investigate about Gloria's presence there upon Seth's orders. "I still can't figure out how Gloria could reappear. And what makes me even more suspicious, her appearance is right when the pack is indicated to be 'having problems'. But
