He killed them all. It was never in his nature to take any prisoners. He thought nothing of it as he ran his blade across the necks of the young and old. Mercy was for humans and the things he killed were monsters.The smoke from the gun powder hung in the air heavily as Creed looked over the limp bloodied and battered bodies that lay on the floor. He counted them in his head noting that there was a family of six of these creatures. He stopped at five and then paused and looked to the end of the room."There's only five," he said and his brothers looked at the bodies on the floor and began counting in their heads as well. "The man he's," before Creed could get his sentence out a man materialized out of thin air and ran at him. The man's form glowed emitting a blue ominous light and his eyes were white and crazed.Creed's brothers all moved to help him but the peculiar glowing man paralyzed them with a simple glance, leaving them standing like statues.

It was unusually quiet at the diner due to the relentless storm that raged on outside. Heavy rain pelted hard against the street making it hard to hear the sound of a car engine and the wind whistled pushing over the dirt bins, strewing the streets with filth.It was Saturday and as a college student, I told myself I had better things to do than to stay and clean the filthy health violation of a restaurant I worked in. I wouldn't eat a morsel from the diner it was as good as eating straight out of a bin. The owner's freshness policy on food was questionable.All my friends were gone on a trip to New Orleans. A trip I couldn't afford to go on. But I didn't moan I didn't cry I sucked it up and reminded myself that one day after a lot of work I'd be able to go on such trips with them.The bell on the door of the diner went off and a tall man dressed in a black raggedy trench coat walked in. There was something about the way the floor quivered with each step he took. T

There were too many things to look at as I walked down the winding hallways with Creed. The paintings, vases, and strange-looking artifacts all called for individual specific attention which I couldn't give because my thoughts occupied all of my attention. "Are you going to tell me why you brought me here or not?" I asked impatiently."Why tell you," he started and stopped at a door, "when I can show you." He pushed open the door and gestured with his head for me to walk in first.It was obvious I didn't trust him so I peeked my head into the room first before walking in. "The room is safe," he told me and he sounded annoyed.I rolled my eyes. He had no right to be annoyed that I didn't trust him. I walked into the room and there was a square mahogany table in the center with eight chairs around it, a large monitor on one wall, maps on another, an ancient armory in the corner of the room displayed on glass shelves, and weapons hanging on the wall

Red glowing eyes and pointy teeth. Screams echoing through the dense forest and evil vampires cackling into the night.I woke up with a racing heart and in a cold sweat remembering everything. My hand went to the side of my neck and I felt a plaster over it. The sound of those fangs ripping through my flesh would forever be embedded in my memories.My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and I squinted as I looked around the room. I was in a bedroom. The walls were black and the interior of the room was grey and white.I sat up in the bed clutching my head. At least I wasn't locked in a cell in the dungeon again. A door from the side opened and Creed walked in with a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair wet. "Oh," I exclaimed and looked away. My voice sounded thick and terrible as if I'd been drinking the previous night."You're awake," Creed said and I heard his feet slap the floor as he walked over to me. He sat down on the bed in front of me. "How do y

In the kitchen I watched Creed sprinkle some cheese over a slice of bread. He was making grilled cheese sandwiches and something was fascinating about watching him go about the innocent task normally as if he didn't hunt supernatural creatures for a living."You staring," he said flipping a sandwich so that it could toast on the other side."I don't know it's hard to imagine a monster hunter making a grilled cheese for me."The corner of his mouth quirked in a subtle smile. "Don't get used to it princess. I'm only doing it because you were almost killed because of me." He plopped a plate with two sandwiches on it in front of me. "Bon appetite.""Thanks." I rolled my eyes. "Is it easy for you to walk around and act like you don't care about anything or anyone?" I asked and took a bite out of the sandwich.A hint of a dark smile played on his lips while amusement shone in his eyes. He folded his arms and leaned back on the counter behind him. "Who said it

"I can't believe you talked me into this," Creed groveled as I stumbled behind him, trying not to break my ankle in creative ways. The ground was covered in fallen leaves making it hard to see if any rocks were sticking out.The forest was beautiful during the day and it was almost hard to believe how scary it looked at night. The sun peeked through the gaps of the yellow and green tree branches, creating a beautiful cascade of yellow rays on the ground with the already fallen browning leaves and red berries.The forest was alive with color, flowers I've never seen before that looked like they were from another planet with their funky colors and patterns. Of course, Creed had to ruin it for me 'don't touch anything it will kill you,' I heard the line three times in less than ten minutes."So why did you decide to come out on the case with me?" He asked turning over his shoulder to glance at me.I shrugged. "I'm curious about your day job. What it's like l

Creed parked the Jeep back in the disclosed garage before covering it up with broken branches. We hiked back to the house just before the sun could set. "I'm going to talk to Dallas," he said once we entered the house.He stormed off in the direction of the boardroom. He looked severely disturbed, and I knew he was. Whatever happened between him and that wolf in the parking lot stumped him more than he lead me to believe.As I watched him disappear into the room I sighed not knowing what to do with myself. Where did someone like me fit in a house like this? A house filled with strange artifacts and a dungeon of creatures. I walked down the hallways slowly as I looked around at the portraits of men and women with silver hair much like Dallas's.One man, in particular, caught my eye. His hair was silver and his eyes were hard and a pale blue like Dallas's. His lips were in a nasty scowl as if he never smiled a day in his life. The name on the plac on t

After dinner, everyone retired to their rooms and I went to Creed's. He went over to his drawers and pulled open the bottom one. "Here." He tossed me a candy bar and I stumbled to catch it."You hide snacks in your room," I thought out loud as I examined the wrapper of the granola bar."With Dallas's cooking, I have to otherwise I'd starve. There are pretzels in here too and bottled water. Help yourself."He then opened another drawer and took out a pair of grey sweatpants and a hoodie. "Here you can use these," he handed me the clothes. When pandora goes shopping tomorrow we can ask her to get you some stuff."I left the granola bar on the bedside table and took the clothes from him. I squealed when his underwear fell out and onto my foot. "Eew eww Ewww!" I shrieked and hopped on the spot."What's the matter?" He asked unfazed by my reaction."Why are you giving me your underwear!" I kicked it off my foot."If you not usi

A week had passed with everyone falling into a comfortable routine. I sat outside with May and Mia while I watched them play peekaboo. I always wanted daughters and May and Mia were exactly what I thought it would be like.Elias had gone to Germany with Reuel and they came back with a purple crystal on a silver necklace for Mia. The crystal would absorb her magic if she tried to do any while she wore it. Elias said it was what was best keeping her true nature from her but I believed otherwise.They also came back with tweed bracelets for the entire pack which I thought was strange. Creed ordered everyone to keep the bracelets on. When I had asked him why he would say, 'please just wear it for me, Eleanora.'As for the rest of the Cacciatore's when they woke up they were at the airport. It was like they had amnesia. We didn't let them see Creed or the rest of the boys in the case it triggered their memories.

I woke up with my head throbbing as if someone had whacked me with a baseball bat over it last night. I looked around the dark room my eyes adjusting to the minimal lighting. My memory of last night was hazy. I remembered I shifted and Creed was with me.I was running through the forest my white paws hitting the ground hard. I had smelt something deliciously mouth-watering. The other wolves couldn't catch me they were trying to stop me but I didn't want to stop.I felt this sharp pain pierce my leg before I went down to the ground. The memory caused me to look down at my leg. It was badly bruised and my skin looked like it was burned.Where on earth was I. The cell didn't look like the cells below the packhouse. As I sat up looking at the mattress and sheet on the floor. A sense of Deja vu hit me.I jumped up from my bed but then stumbled back. I felt weak and could barely stand but that was not the worst

I panted as I tried to keep up with Hera. We were running along a trail in the forest. It was a part of my training to strengthen my core. According to the other wolves, if I exercised regularly and stretched the shift wouldn't be that hard on my body. "Keep up Luna," Hera said running ahead of me and I stopped to grab a drink from my water bottle.My muscles were sore, we had been training and strengthening my core for the past week. I was exhausted and all I longed for was a pillow and a blanket. At this point I wasn't fussy I'd sleep where I dropped.I removed my shirt that was drenched in sweat and Hera's eyes widened. "The alpha has marked you as his mate," she grinned causing me to choke on my water. I was very careful the past week in hiding my mark. In a moment of exhaustion, I had forgotten."What, what are you talking about?" I stuttered in an attempt to act as if I didn't know what she was talking about and a cheeky smile overtook her face

Hera bounced the crying baby off her hip. "I honestly thought the only time I'd be going through this was when you and the Alpha decided to have children of your own," she said causing my heart to shrivel.That conversation about our relationship still hurt whenever I thought about it. I predict we would have children in the next twenty years with how Creed behaved around me.He chose not to be left alone with me. So I doubt Hera's dreams about a little one of our own would come true any time soon. Since Creed couldn't look at me let alone touch me.Sapphire walked into the room pushing a crib. "This is Arty's old crib," she said in exhaustion wiping the sweat off her brow. "We'll have to get this little princess a new one.""I still can't believe you dug that thing out of the attic," Hera said above the crying child.Sapphire stood up straight and looked at the baby. "She still hasn't sto

It had been three days since our trip to Phoenix. It felt good to see Kris again. Creed and I never spoke about what our relationship meant after that day. I knew his reasons for trying not to get too close to me but every time I saw him I felt my body gravitate to him. It's like I had blinders when he was in my line of vision I focused on nothing but him and for a moment he looked at me the same until he came back to a sense of reality and walked away. That part always felt like my heart was being torn into a million tiny pieces. I hated the fact that he pushed me away. It was agony I never felt before. Maybe it was a wolf-mate thing that I wanted to be as close to him as possible all the time but he wouldn't let me. He would run away if I got too close to him. There were times he would leave the house and shift into his wolf and run into the forest. I didn't know whether to be amused at his creativity or offended.

Creed left me and Kris alone together. I could tell he was not happy about me sharing so much with my best friend but said nothing about it because he knew how important she was to me. "Are you going to reverse it?" She asked and I just stared blankly at her. "El reverse it. You can have your life back."This life that a small part of me wanted so desperately to hold onto. "I'm Creed's mate. If I don't go through with the transition I can never have his children.""But Eleanora you don't even know what you two are to each other.""I know Kris. How can I call him mine when he doesn't belong to me. When he refuses to define our relationship and when he expresses his feelings for me on his terms. But whatever we have between us I can't make this decision without him.""You love him," she said and I looked down at the floor. "Eleanora do you love him?""Helplessly.""Then you

Creed parked the car in my campus parking lot. We got out of the car and he cracked his back, his bones making a sickening crunch sound. He looked around at the students and then at me. "I didn't know pot was legal?" He said turning in my direction.I shook my head. "Could you not be so loud." It was a quarter to three and the sun was high up in the sky. I could see the heat lines floating above the ground.Though it was quite warm out my anxiety had my body doing this weird thing of heating and cooling. My fingers were icy while my face and ears were hot. The hair on my body stood and that bubble of anxiety settled in the pit of my stomach."Where is your dorm room?" Creed asked and my mouth felt dry. He cupped my chin and tilted my head up for me to look at him. He placed a chaste peck on my lips and his green eyes settled into mine.I was immediately transported to the serene grassy and flower fields of

I paced in my room anxiously, anticipating seeing my friends again. A lot had changed in a span of a month, learning that supernaturals existed and becoming supernatural.There was a knock on the door followed by the doorknob turning and Hera sticking her head in. "Alpha Creed is downstairs. He's waiting for you." I nodded and she walked into the room shutting the door behind her."Something seems to be bothering you. Are the events of yesterday still playing over in your mind?""I had a life Hera. It wasn't the best life but a life of a working woman. I was going to struggle and I was going to make it and become someone someday and then everything changed and now I'm becoming a wolf instead.""Do you not want to be a wolf?" She questioned."It's not something I would have chose. I saw the pain Creed went through. I don't know if I'd survive my bones breaking and rearranging." Hera remained silent as she ob
