MacThe small mound of what looked to be clothes lay piled on the floor in a heap. I frowned, wondering who had left such an untidy mess, but as I rounded the desk, I realized, with a sinking feeling of alarm, that this was no pile of clothes. Rather, it was a sleeping bag containing a person, and to my utmost shock, that person was Blair. She lay curled up in a protective ball, her face turned towards the wall and away from me, but I could instantly recognise her scent and form even in the dark room.What was she still doing here? Why hadn’t she gone home to sleep?“Blair?” I called and she stirred. I rounded the sleeping bag just in time to see her eyelids flicker briefly, then shut again. I caught a hint of a scent, not the same one from earlier and not her usual one either. This one was a sickly scent, sharp and acrid. Her face was pale - too pale, almost a deathly white, beads of sweat lined the exposed part of her forehead.My chest seized a

Mac"Mac, wait." Blake reached out and grabbed my wrist but I shook him off easily and tried to go again. When he tried to stop me a second time, I didn't think, just let my base instincts take over.My teeth were bared in a feral snarl as I gripped the arm clamped over mine and tossed him away as easily as if I were swatting a fly. Unprepared for my attack, he flew back, his body struck the wall opposite with an audible slam, the impact sending a rain of plaster and wood down on us.A lesser man would have been killed instantly. Fortunately, Blake was not one. He sprang to his feet with a curse, eyes glowing a deep black as he half shifted, his hands lengthening into claws, muscles straining against the seams of his clothes."Mac, snap out of it or you'll hurt Blair!"I growled at him, having partially shifted too. Hurt her? Fuck no. What I was trying to was save her life while he was being a fucking obstacle. "I'm trying to save he

BlairThe first thought that crossed my mind as I blinked my eyes open was that the lights overhead were really bright. Painfully so. The next thought was a feeling of discomfort in my nose and throat. Blindly, I reached up to feel around my face, my fingers curling over what felt like flimsy plastic tubes resting under my chin. I followed the tubing until it led up to two prongs up my nose.I tried moving my left hand, but it felt like something was holding it down. Straining slightly, I lifted my head up just a fraction to see the business end of an IV tube in my elbow, the cannula secured with bandages. My eyes traced the tubing up to an IV pole standing next to the bed I was lying on, with a bag of light amber liquid attached, beads of liquid dripping steadily down the transparent plastic. Various medical equipment stood nearby, the silence in the room broken by the intermittent electronic beeping.I turned my head the other way and caught sight of a p

Blair“Blair? Good, you're awake.” she said. “I’m Dr Berg – and I'm in charge of your care."“I remember,” I replied, trying to sit up. Mac grasped me by the arms and lifted me so I was propped against the headboard. I shot him a grateful smile and he nodded then retreated to his chair. Dr. Berg was busy scribbling my stats in her clipboard and paid us no notice until she was done.“You’ll have to stay a little while with us,” she told me as she pocketed the pen. “Have you heard of sepsis?"“Uh…I have -”“Sepsis is the body’s response to overwhelming infection. Your pneumonia set up that response, making you even more ill. We've managed to get most of it under control, but you’re going to need intravenous treatment for at least the next forty-eight hours. I–”She broke off and glanced up at Mac, who had stood up while she was talking, no doubt reacting to the alarmed expression on my face at the thought of spending more

BlairA wave of dizziness came over me as I stood underneath the steady spray of the shower. It was so strong that I had to hold onto the soap dispenser to stay upright. I nearly pulled the damn thing off the wall. Closing my eyes, I slid down the tiles to sit on the floor, ignoring the warm water that pounded on my hair and sluiced down my body.  All my attention was on a loud ringing sound that filled my head and seemed to come from deep within my skull, so loud it felt like my eardrums would burst. With a gasp, my hands flew up to cover my ears in a vain effort to dull the skull splitting ringing, but to no avail.A gut wrenching pain, one like I'd never felt before ripped through my stomach. I gasped and doubled over, even as the ringing got louder and louder until it felt like my skull would implode.As quickly as it came, the pain and ringing disappeared, leaving me drained and exhausted. At the same time, a knock on the bathroom door echoe

BlairI froze at the question, something slamming against my heart. A small sound slipped through my lips and I shut my eyes for a second, wishing I was anywhere but here, pinned by that all too knowing gaze. But of course, I was all out of wishes because when I opened my eyes, Mac was still staring at me, arms crossed and his jaw set stubbornly and I knew there was no avoiding the humiliating conversation we were about to have.“Of course I do,” I avoided his gaze and shoved the last of my stuff into the bag and zipped it up. “I wouldn’t be leaving here if I didn't have somewhere else to go, would I?”“I dunno,” He rubbed at the scruff of beard on his chin and raised an eyebrow. “You tell me.”I flushed at the implication of his words and cleared my throat. “I do have somewhere to go.”He cocked his head at me and regarded me in silence while my fidgeting simply got worse. Then with a determined grunt, he hooked a large hand under one of

SkylarTears welled in my eyes and spilled down my cheeks at Mac's open and easy acceptance of the truth and whatever last reservations I had melted away as I sobbed, feeling like a heavy weight had just been lifted off my chest.It felt…freeing to finally have someone who knew a bit more about me, who understood, who accepted me without question."Hey," Mac leaned forward, a tissue in his hand that he'd produced from goddess knows where, which he used to gently wipe the tears streaming down my cheeks. "Please, don't cry, okay? I didn't mean to upset you."I shook my head and smiled. “No, no, I’m not upset. I’m just…” I searched for the right words and settled on, “relieved that I can finally tell someone the truth.”Mac smiled in understanding and looked so boyishly abashed I couldn’t help but laugh. “Ah…well. I’m happy to have your trust.” His expression turned serious and he sobered. “I promise you, Skylar. You’ll be safe with me and I won’t break your trust.”“I know.” His words re

SKYLAR“Hey Holly,” Mac said. Still holding onto me, he moved towards the steps to the girl in the doorway, pulling me along. I followed reluctantly, still wary and barely recovered from the nasty shock. We came to a stop in front of Holly, his height easily dwarfing hers as he looked down at her, his expression stern and assessing. “Shouldn’t you be in school?”Holly merely shrugged off his question, her gaze pinned on me. Once more, I forced myself to meet her gaze head on, while wondering if her mother - Mac’s partner was inside the house. I also wondered about the identity of the shifter - though I was certain it wasn’t the as yet to be known partner since that wolf had been male.Female shifter’s wolf forms were usually smaller and more delicate looking than their male counterparts, even the alpha presenting females. So, it was safe to assume there was somebody else in the house. And that made me very, very nervous.“Who’s this?” Holly asked,

CW: Mentions of violence and bloodSKYLAR****Flashback*****The darkness seemed to close in around me, amplifying my fear and making it difficult to navigate through the dense forest. Every rustle of leaves or snap of a twig sent shivers down my spine, as I imagined Resse and his loyal pack members closing in on me.I pushed myself to go faster, ignoring the searing pain in my body. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, fueling my desperate escape. But as I ran, a nagging thought crept into my mind - how long could I keep this up? How long until exhaustion overtook me and I became an easy target for my pursuers?Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the trees, freezing me in my tracks. My heart pounded in my chest as I strained to locate the source of the sound. Panic welled up inside me as I realized I was not alone. Another werewolf, a member of my own pack, had picked up my scent.I had no choice but to keep moving, hoping to outrun them. But my injured body protested, threatening to

Mac Despite all her assurances to the contrary, I still couldn't quite shake the feeling that Sky did not like the room. First, there had been that fleeting look of dismay that crossed her expression the moment she'd stepped into the room, though she'd quickly covered it with compliments. Even though those compliments somehow fell flat. The most enthusiastic she had been was when I showed her the walk in closet. She'd perked up, and had given more than a cursory look around the small, dark space, seemingly more impressed by the tiny, windowless closet than the extravagant room attached to it. I'd been on the verge of offering her a different bedroom, even though I'd chosen that one because I'd figured she'd appreciate the view and the natural light streaming into the space, arguably the best in the house, save for the main bedroom - mine. And yet, Sky had merely glanced at the window wall, in fact, she seemed to actively avoid it. Still, since she'd assured me it was fine, I'd swal
