All Chapters of Scales of the wolf: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“It was unlike any other shift I had seen. It was slow and agonising. The skin rippled and I could see the bones moving. I tried to mind link with him, to tell him to just give in to it, to stop fighting. But there was no consciousness there, just a sea of never-ending pain,” Rayvin let out a soft whimper. Mikael felt helpless. He knew she needed to let this out, but he could feel her pain and the distress she felt as she relived her memory. He wanted nothing more than to put all the pain on himself instead. “It took him almost an hour to complete the shift. When he did, he was a pure animal, driven by a need to kill and maim. We later found out, after analysing the content of the syringes, that they had added hallucinogens and drugs that usually stimulate aggression into the cocktail they gave Simon.”“He killed the two rogues within minutes and tore the laboratory to pieces. I uncloaked and tried to get him to calm down, but he went after me as well. The only thing that saved me w

As soon as Mikael stepped inside the house, he could smell the food cooking and it made his mouth water. He hurried up to the kitchen and saw Rayvin standing at the kitchen counter, cutting bread. He tried to stealthily sneak up on her, but as he was halfway there, she turned her head and smiled at him.“Hi,” he said and closed the distance between them to give her a kiss. “Hi,” she said as they broke apart. Mikael wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder so he could look at what she was doing. “What are you cooking and how can I help?” he asked.“Tomato soup with grilled cheese. You can take out the cheese and cut it. How many sandwiches do you want?” “Um, how much bread do we have?” he asked as he walked over to the fridge. He heard her giggle and then he heard her slicing the bread again. “I talked to Gray and Bella. They are more than happy to help and I said we would go over there on Monday,” he then told her.“Sounds good.”“They wanted me to tell

As Rayvin got ready for her date, she started getting butterflies in her stomach. She told herself that she was being silly. Mikael and she had done a lot more than going out to eat. There was no reason for her to be nervous. They had marked each other for the goddess’ sake. But still. The butterflies refused to go away. As they were just going to the diner, Rayvin decided to go for casual but sexy. The tight, ripped, black jeans looked good together with a cream, oversized knitted sweatshirt that left one of her shoulders bare. Underneath she had a strapless white bustier that she looked forward to Mikael discovering. She went downstairs to wait for Mikael; and got stuck looking out of the big window in the livingroom. Once again, she found herself unable to look away from the view of the pack house and the village. Not even the soft steps that told her Mikael was approaching made her look away. She saw his blurry reflection in the window a second before she felt his arms envelop her

“Millard and Janice will drive the cars, Diana, Milly and I will go in one and you boys will go in the other. You arrive five minutes ahead of us and will take up a place to stand guard. We will arrive and hang around the bar, looking like we are having fun. Millard and Janice will act as backup. Have I forgotten something?” Rayvin asked Mikael, Ben and Diana. They had been forming their strategy for a couple of hours and had finally reached something that they all could live with.“Sounds right,” Diana said with a nod. “I still don’t see why we have to take different cars. I don’t like it,” Ben objected, placing his arm around Diana’s shoulders.“I agree,” Mikael said, pulling Rayvin closer to him. Rayvin and Diana exchanged a look and rolled their eyes. Rayvin thought they were sweet, but she also knew they couldn’t give in to their need to protect.“Because we don’t want anyone to think we are together. The human won’t approach us if he sees us hanging around you two,” she explain

As Rayvin and Diana watched Milly get into the car, Rayvin noticed the human man walking out of a side entrance. ‘Honey, do you have eyes on the target?” she mind linked her mate as she nudged Diana and discreetly nodded towards the man. Diana honed in on him.‘I’m a little busy right now, sweetie,’ Mikael answered her. ‘The target went to the back of the club and when we went to follow him, a horde of human females descended on us. We are battling our way through.’ Mikael’s answer had Rayvin on the brink of a growl. She had half a mind to walk into the club and show those humans that he was hers. But, the priority was the human.‘No worries, Diana and I got him,’ she tried to comfort her male. ‘Ray, no. You get into that car and you go home and wait for us,’ he demanded.‘Sorry, honey, the car already left. Now focus on your women problem, and I will snatch and grab the human male,’ she reassured him.‘What do you mean, the car has left? Why did it leave and why didn’t you go with
