Back in the training yard, Ken was giving me a squinted look, as though he was indirectly letting me know he was on to me and my little game of hide and seek with the ball and the picnic. I offered him an innocent smile but returned my attention to Marrok and Lupe.
“Now,” I said as I glanced between the two. “You’ll both need to have a better handle on transforming than the younger ones, though from what I saw when the whole pack transformed last, it wasn’t too much of an issue for you both, right?” I asked with a smile.
“Not an issue at all, though it hurt like nothing I ever felt before,” Marrok admitted and then rubbed his neck.
Lupe nodded in agreement. “Elder Sera said it would, but I never thought she was right,” she chimed in. “Though it was nice to speak with my wolf for the first time, so that was worth it,” she continued, bouncing on the back of her heels in
The rest of the phone call went as well as could be expected. I had convinced my mother to speak to the supernatural beings there, but more importantly, she agreed to get hold of the leader and ask her for aid to be sent our way. I didn’t expect the entire building’s worth of supernatural beings, but I hoped she would at least agree to send some werewolves or something.From here on out, it would be a waiting game. I was popular enough with most of the werewolves there and many of the younger supernatural beings that I believed some would listen to my request for aid. Though with how much suffering some of them had been through at the hands of other Hunters, I wasn’t too certain some of them would, even if the request came from me.Rem had been quiet about his friend. He had left the packhouse and stormed back to the main mansion. I had followed as quickly behind him as I could, worried he was going to tel
I watched Rem carefully as his breathing quickened with each breath of his. He seemed to fight something at first, likely the spirit from taking over, I imagined. With a shake of his head, Rem closed his eyes and took a step out of my grip and held his hands over his ears. I blinked and hesitantly reached out to touch him. “Don’t…” he whispered, though I couldn’t tell if he directed that at me or the spirit within. I still heard nothing in Rem’s mind to suggest he had a wolf in there. “Rem?” I called out to him, worry crossing my features now. My heat seemed to cool off as my emotions shifted from one to the other. “Are you… alright?” I questioned. I paused my hands in the air in a torn stance on if I should embrace Rem or withdraw. There was silence for a moment before Rem’s gaze lifted back up to me. His breathing was still heavy, but he seemed to find himself again as his eyes and teeth slowly shifted back to normal. He lower
When I had told Rem that being a werewolf meant I could take being roughly handled, I hadn’t expected him to be as rough with me as he had been last night. My whole back and lower half were sore and tired from the night of passion. He had left me totally exhausted, yet strangely satisfied despite that.I could hear the pitter-patter of rain outside on the bedroom window and, groggily, I found my phone to look at the time. It wasn’t even six in the morning yet. I groaned and turned back towards Rem, who was still completely out of it. If I felt this tired, I wondered if he did too? From the look on his face, he seemed very pleased with himself, even in his dreams.I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to touch every inch of his beautiful face. My fingers gently brushed away some of the blue strands of hair out of his face and made sure he wasn’t eating any of it. I smiled to myself at the thought of Rem re
When Rem had told me we would drive to London and be not taking the bus or train, I couldn’t contain my excitement to learn something new about him. I did not know Rem had a driver’s licence, nor that he had his own car. Sure, the car was actually for Hunter work, but that didn’t matter to me. I was just happy to know it would be just me and Rem together. No strangers.Not to mention with the ability to drive, this meant we could cover more ground quicker than waiting on public transport. However, I also couldn’t help but wonder at all the places we could go together on dates.“This is for Hunter work only,” Rem muttered aside to me, though kept his attention on the road ahead. “Not to be used for pleasure…” he continued, having heard my thoughts through the mind-link.I stuck my tongue out at him playfully before going back to looking over the inside of the car and all the gadgets it
If the home of Rem’s grandmother was a mansion, the home of Rem’s parents was a palace! It sat on the city's outskirts, and a tall protective fence surrounded the entire area surrounding it! We were let in easily enough as Rem’s car had the controls for the gates. Once inside, we were greeted by many butlers and maids. They seemed to offer Rem all the respect in the world as they offered their bows and curtseys upon greeting him.Without blinking an eye, Rem continued on his way until he got to the oldest of the butlers. “Seb, are my parents’ home?” He questioned.“No, sir, though your mother is due to return within the hour,” the man named Seb replied. He had greying black hair that was brushed back neatly and a pair of smart spectacles. He wore a smart suit and held himself in a rather formal position.From the surrounding smells, I could tell that none of these people was a Hunter. They di
It had been about half an hour since we had arrived here and had researched the local supernatural populace. Seb had come with the required tea and biscuits and had left again just as quickly. Rem was in full work mode and I was happily helping him. That was when I heard the quick click-clack sound of heels on wooden flooring. Someone, a woman, was racing in our direction. I heard her before Rem was even aware she had entered the library. I looked up towards the open doorway of the hidden room and waited. “What’s wrong?” Rem asked though he didn’t take his eyes off of the notes he was going over. However, before I could say anything at all, the high-pitched squealing of a woman echoed out into the library. “Rath!” Rem flinched. I blinked as a tall woman in heels almost skidded around the corner and peered right at me. She had long blonde hair, which fell in natural twirls. Her eyes were that wonderful bright blue, which
By the time we had finished gathering as much data as we could, the click-clack of Heather’s shoes was heard once more, though this time they were accompanied by a heavier set of leather shoes tapping the ground. I could hear several voices, though they remained near the entrance of the library somewhere. I could smell them, Hunters. One, in particular, held my attention. The one following Heather. As the two turned the corner, his hard gaze fell on me. His eyes were more of a grey and his hair was a salt and pepper nature that was brushed back into a tidy bun. I could tell he was unhappy with me being here, but one glance from Rem, the man easily backed down from his nature to deal with a werewolf in his home. He remained unhappy, however. “Father,” Rem greeted the man with the same cold indifference as he gathered the notes and stood up from the table. He held out his hand towards me and I added my pile to his. He then
The drive further into the city was quiet. I had finally explained in full to Rem who I was going to talk with. At first, he hadn’t really comprehended that there was a large group of Ancient Ones camping out in St. Paul’s Cathedral, but the more I spoke of their looks and manner of speaking, the more aware he was that I was telling the truth. He was silently trying to figure out what family they belonged to, but I had stumped him. He knew of Rakesh and his sister, but that was it. Even I didn’t know who or what they were when I first ran into them, but after I had fully awakened, the memories had flooded back. Rem had no such luck in gaining any memories from the spirit that had been reborn inside of him. “I didn’t keep it from you for any poor reasons,” I said, trying to break the silence. I wanted him to know that I had really wanted to explain things sooner. The truth was, I just didn’t know how to go about it without him being furious with
