“Interesting… you put the pieces together and it’s not entirely a surprise…” Damien was basically muttering to himself at this point. I snatched my hands away, stepping back towards the town line.
His eyes followed my movement but he didn’t move.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not killing someone.” I continued moving closer to the town edge.
He tilted his head at me. “Who said you had to kill someone?”
“They said I had to spill human blood to trigger the werewolf gene,” I explained.
“They?” Damien pressed on.
“Sabine. What does it matter?” I asked hi
We made it home with the collection of books. Jax had them brought directly to his room so we could start going through them. Meghan dropped us off and turned around to go work a shift at the diner. As we started to sort the books on the giant table, someone on the staff brought us a huge tray of food. A mixture of fruit and sandwiches. “I hate that” I said quietly, as soon as they left. “Hate what?” Jax asked. “That you have people just waiting on you. It’s awkward.” I sat down on Jax’s bed, throwing the dirty jacket on the floor. “I wouldn’t know the difference. If it makes you feel better, they are paid. And they’re free to leave whenever they want. Most view it as an honor to work
After a shower and some breakfast, Jax and I headed out to the clearing. “It’s pretty awful ringing noise” I warned Jax, taking the coin out to call Damien. He nodded silently, standing near me. I could tell his body was tense. Taking a deep breath, I flipped the coin, covering my ears immediately. The coin fell onto the ground and I looked over at Jax, who was watching me with a puzzled look. “I didn’t hear anything.” He said. I picked up the coin, inspecting it. “I heard the same noise but last time he was here before this touched the ground. Should I try again?” I asked. Jax shrugged
“Jax!” Meghan screamed across the yard. As we turned towards her, Jax shook his head. “I can’t hear my pack,” he said, sounding hurt. “Do you think it was the memory?” I asked him. “Jax! They’re here!” Meghan screamed again. She was running towards us and I finally noticed the blood on her clothes. Jax caught up to her “I can’t hear the pack, you have to communicate to them Meghan. You know the plan! Go!” She took off back towards the front of the house, stripping off her clothes. I saw a glimpse of white fur before it disappeared. “What is going on?” I said, following after Jax. He had started to follow Meghan before I spoke. He turned around and grabbed onto my arms tightly.
“What are you talking about? I didn’t feed it anything!” I exclaimed.Damien pointed to the blood soaked box. “The blood is inside it too”“What does it mean?” I said, stepping away from the moonstone. “It looks nothing like the moonstone I have”“Because it’s not that type of moonstone.” Damien explained “the one you had is used to manipulate werewolves. This one is built specifically for crescent wolves.”“To manipulate us?” I askedHe shook his head “Not really. It’s more to hold their wolves. It was rumored that crescent wolves could remove their wolf forms completely with these. I&rsqu
The sun peeping through the blinds or the feeling of presence in the room woke me from my deep slumber. I glanced at Damien sitting on the edge of the bed, and groaned, throwing a pillow over my head. “We have to start moving. I’m sure they’re tracking you… and the trail of blood you left behind.” My stomach clenched at the scene I had left behind. “I killed someone…” I said softly on the mattress. Damine grabbed my ankles pulling me off the bed and onto my feet, turning my head to face him. “You protected yourself. Don’t ever think otherwise” he said as I pushed away from him. “Stop, Damien. I’m serious.” I told him, making su
“Where are we going?” I asked for the millionth time. He usually ignored me or changed the subject to my past life or if I heard my wolf yet. I haven’t.Damien gripped the steering wheel tightly, giving a look that probably made others cower. “What makes you think I’m going to answer you this time?”I crossed my arms, pouting. “Because I don’t understand why it’s a secret”We had driven for over four days now, only stopping to let me use the restroom. And to shower when I practically gagged at my own smell and his. He would usually disappear when I was in the whatever place showering, I didn’t dare ask where he would go, but I knew he was close. Damien would allow me to climb in the backseat whenever I wanted to sleep, refusing to le
Damien didn’t follow me into the cottage and I didn’t see Autumn either. There sat a small bowl and cup on a wooden table, it looked like a tree had simply fallen over and they chopped it in half.Without waiting for invitation, I sat down and scarfed the food down as I was a wolf animal. To my surprise, it filled up again as soon as I put the empty bowl down. I stared at it, a bit uneasy to get magical food. The hunger for the better of me as I eat the second helping without any more hesitation.“You wolves and your appetite. It is always astonishing.” Autumn said, shaking her head. The cottage was dark behind her, only the kitchen was lit. She mistook my looking as she continued, ” he’s not here.”“I don’t care.” I replied sharply.
“The what?” I exclaimed. “I don’t understand. I thought you were a coven leader or whatever.” My words were pointed at Damien, who snorted. “The coven may have looked for guidance but only because they fear me” He replied, flashing me a cocky smile now. Now Autumn laughed, shaking her head. “If only they knew you are nothing more than a scared little boy.” Damien rolled his eyes at her, it was obvious that he didn’t take offense to what she said. “Jax said you met with the Alpha everytime he would visit.” I pressed on, still confused. He shrugged. “I might have.” Great, we were back to being cryptic. “What's the Vampire King?” I asked, turning back to
