25. Lupin
Everest
I stood rooted to the spot, staring into the eyes of this creature. Its blood-curdling screams echoed off the mountains and its eyes were glued to me. It flapped its massive leathery wings and took off into the air, circling high above us.
“What the fuck is that?” Finn shouted.
“I – I think I’ve seen it before… but I can’t remember what it’s called.” I shouted back. We ducked under the nearest tree and Finn sent out a mass mind-link to the entire pack to stay indoors.
“We’ve got to kill it” he growled. He shifted into his massive grey-blue wolf and ran out of the trees, searching the skies for the creature.
I stood against the tree and closed my eyes, wracking my brains to remember where I’d seen it before. White, leathery skin, wings, fangs…

Finn I rushed forward and caught Everest before she hit the ground, as everyone else stood there too stunned to move a muscle at what they’d just witnessed. I picked her up in my arms and carried her over to the bed on the other side of the room. The golden orb on her forehead was still fading and her skin, still feverishly hot, was slowly returning to normal. The room had burned with her aura, and everyone had been forced back to the edges to escape the intensity. The doctors rushed forward to tend to Lupin and check her vitals, and Dayna, Caleb and Kali stood there looking shocked. “Alpha, what the hell was that?” Dayna gasped. “Everest’s a gifted wolf…” Kali whispered, her eyes wide with amazement. “Holy…” Caleb held Kali against his chest, his eyes as wide as hers.
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 27. Goodbye's
Everest Every muscle in my body ached. Using the gifts had proved to be exhausting, but I was grateful that I could help people. Finn had woken me up to shower and ‘talk’. I knew he just wanted to complete the rejection and get it over with since we’d been interrupted last night. I’d told him that I loved him, and he’d still wanted to end this anyways. I knew now that no matter what happened he was never going to change. At least I’d had the chance to tell him once. I thought about the way the Aswang had acted. It had stared directly at me. It wasn’t there for Finn; it had wanted me. Even with him attacking it, it had charged for me. I felt its hunger for me. I knew now that this was all tired together. The aswangs appearance, the attacks, my abilities…it was all tied to me. I scrubbed my skin until it was reddened trying to clean Lupins blood off. I wanted to check on her before I went home. I climbed out of the shower, wincing at my achy muscles and pulled on a scrub shirt and a p
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 28. Free me
Everest His lush lips found mine with a hunger I’d never seen in him. In a second my back was against the wall and his hands gripped my hips pulling me into him. The only thing I could think about was getting closer. My hands moved to his hair and our tongues tasted one another. His lips travelled down my jaw, along my neck to the soft spot between my neck and shoulder. He kissed and sucked my mark spot causing me to moan with pleasure. My whole body felt electrified by him, and he was ravenous for me. His hand moved underneath the loose shirt I was wearing, massaging my breasts, while the other slipped down into my core. I cried out as he found my sweet spot, and my arousal coated his fingers and my inner thighs. “That’s right, baby” he whispered against my ear, as he took control of my body. I opened my eyes, looking directly into his deep blue orbs. His eyes burned with passion, and they w
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 29. Decisions
Finn I would have taken my side being gashed open by an aswang one thousand times over the pain that had erupted within me when Everest had attempted to reject the mate bond. It had taken every ounce of strength I’d had to hold myself together enough to decline the rejection. I could feel the tether to her holding on by a thread and I’d grasped on to it with everything I had. I left the room and fled the house, trying to run from the pain that had consumed me upon her rejection. Nothing quenched the flames that scorched me on the inside. I fled into the woods and shifted allowing the grief to envelope me alone in the dark, damp forest. I’d ruined everything. Lupin had nearly died trying to undo the hurt I’d caused, and Everest had given up on me. I hadn’t given her a reason to keep trying, but now that I knew what I wanted it was that much more painful to see the repercussions of my actions.
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 30. I just wanted my coffee
Everest My first thought when I opened my eyes was of Finn. He’d probably realized I’d left by now. The small, petty part of me felt good about disappearing on him after everything he’d put me through…I knew it wasn’t the healthy thing, but I’d tried to end it and he hadn’t accepted. He was still loving the game too much to call it quits, I guess. I knew the day would come where I had to face him again, but it wasn’t today. I sighed quietly and leaned my forehead against the cool widow of the car. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the present and leave him in the past…for now. We’d been on the road for over 6 hours. Kali and I had fallen asleep in the backseat around seven AM and Caleb had kept driving. It was now half past nine and the terrane had become much sparser since we’d descended down the mountain. I stretched trying to wake up my arms and legs again, kicking Kali. “Whoops, sorr
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 31. I just want my mate
Finn I banked around corners as fast as my Ferrari would go. One of the many upsides to living off the beaten path was that you could rip on the open highways in the rainforests of coastal British Columbia without running into a soul. The engine purred as I pushed the pedal to the floor. I was at least six hours behind them, and I was aiming to cut that in half with some risky driving. I didn’t care that she didn’t want me there. This entire situation had endangered my pack and I wanted some answers about this prophecy. Not to mention she was my mate, and I wasn’t about to risk her safety just because she was upset with me. I really thought the whole ‘being emotionally attached to someone’ thing was going to be impossible for me to do, but so far, the instinct to protect her had come pretty naturally…hopefully the rest would too. The hours dragged on and the
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 32. Feeders
EverestI woke up with my cheek pressed against a muddy floor. All I could smell was earth and decay. The steady drip, drip, drip of water echoed around, and I had a metallic taste in my mouth. My head pounded and a big goose-egg had risen where I’d been struck. I could hear shuffling around me, but I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know if that was because I was blindfolded, or it was just pitch black wherever I was. Muffled voices were whispering somewhere but I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I groaned and blinked open my eyes. What the hell had happened? My last few moments came rushing back as I remembered the terrified look on the gas station clerks face as her bones cracked and her chest was ripped open…the aswang. Fuck. I tried to scramble upright, but my arms and legs were aching. I felt like I’d been cramped up in a small, tight space for hours. My wolf’s night vision kicked i
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 33. Set them free
Everest “You can…draw out the venom?” Hannah asked skeptically. “What, like a snake bite?” “No, not exactly…I’m – I have this weird family bloodline that…honestly, I really don’t know that much about it. I was on my way to see someone who was supposed to be able to help, but I ended up in here. I healed two other wolves back at Onyx. Lupin and Marley.” “Finn’s sister?” Fiona gaped. “His sister was attacked?” “Yeah, but I pulled the venom out and she seemed to be recovering fine when I left. Most of the wolves are being killed, but the aswang that got Marley was interrupted before it could finish, and the one that got Lupin was distracted.” “Does it hurt?” Fiona asked, eyes wide. “No, I don’t think so. But it does leave a mark
