All Chapters of Reiver: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

She is a wolf with a human mask The night eats her up. Chrissy Pinney Annie stood in the apartment for twenty minutes sobbing and shaking, the tears just wouldn’t stop and she knew it was a mixture of shock and anger, and the angrier she got the more she sobbed. Sabine sent her soothing vibes and kind words and finally the tears and the shock subsided, the anger however did not. What were Hugh and Lennox going to do, would there be more bloodshed tonight? She baulked at the thought, this man she thought she knew so well and she was in love with was a stranger to her, she realised she didn’t know him at all. Whatever business he was into had put her in grave danger and she had been given no choice but to take lives, if she had been human she would never of stood a chance against those men, she would have been gang raped then murdered, just another statistic which would have gained half an inch of column space in a backwater newspaper somewhere. Had he known there was a chance she wa

In the year 1603, King James VI executed a prolonged campaign to control the violent and lawless English/Scottish border with his Union of the Crown act. In doing so he unwittingly split the Reiver Wolf Pack into two factions, the Scottish Reivers who had been pushed north had settled in the Scottish Highlands far away from the border, and the English Reivers, who had been pushed south settled in the county of Cumberland in the north of England. Much of Scotland’s population, both human and wolf hated the Union of the Crown as they felt their identity as a proud Scottish independent nation was being eroded. Regardless of the opinion of the Scottish population, by 1707 the English and Scottish parliaments met in the London to form the parliament of Great Britain. While Scotland retained a privy council, all important acts and decisions were taken in London with very little account taken of how it would affect the Scots. The result was a full rebellion, the Scots wanted the restorat

The more we study, the more we discover our ignorance. Percy Bysshe Shelley Almost five years after the Addison massacre the police were no closer to identifying either the motive or the culprits. Out of all the forensic testing carried out there was nothing to indicate anyone else but the victims had been in that building. It didn’t make sense, generally, everybody left a bit of themselves somewhere. They had spent a huge amount on processing and testing the mountain of evidence, it had taken years and they had nothing to show for it. The police had decided to wind the investigation down, it would probably never be closed but unless someone came forward with some new information there didn’t seem to be much else they could do. Sifting through the endless bags of evidence, forensic scientist Sarah Cole was packing all the evidence into boxes for storage when she noticed there were hair samples that had been collected from both the drug lab and from tape liftings from the victim’s c

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is fear of the unknown. H.P. Lovecraft Sarah found herself being marched along the corridor by Pete heading for the conference room. They were walking so fast she was struggling to keep up and as they rounded a corner and entered the room she saw it was full of people she had never seen before. She was trying her best to look calm and collected but in reality she was flustered and panicky, who the hell were all these people? Not ten minutes earlier she had been practically forced to sign the official secrets act and been given a lecture about how not to divulge anything to anybody about her test results, then she was threatened that if she did, she would be charged with treason. She kept looking at Pete for an explanation but he was being tight lipped, refusing to meet her eye. She managed to keep her face passive but was panicking about the report she had hidden in her flat, what if they searc

We are never alone,we are all wolveshowling at the same moon.Atticus.Pete went to the men’s room where he entered a stall, locking the door behind him. He sat on the toilet lid and put his head in his hands, Goddess what a shit show. There was no way Pete wanted a war between wolves and humans, he had no issue playing both sides but a full out war was something else entirely. He was beginning to wonder if he should of kept quiet when Sarah sent him her test results. He knew that wasn’t an option though, if he had done the tests himself he would of buried them but unfortunately it was Sarah who had done them, he had no choice but to call it in, she would never have stopped until she had found the truth and he knew it. The best he could do was make the call as he knew she would have to sign the official secrets act, thus protecting the wolves secret from the humans. Damn. He had a good life in the human world and he would like it to continue. He was no fighter either, wolf he might
