Chapter: Chapter 9 -Terrified: EzraI spent time explaining to Mateo and Adrian why I wanted to keep my beautiful wolf. I couldn’t particularly explain why I was drawn to keep her, but I did feel an instant bond with the creature. I remember that when I was a young boy, I had a dog that looked similar. Her name was Scruffy. That dog and I went everywhere and did everything together. It broke my heart when she crossed the rainbow bridge.Then there was the paladin I had before I met my brothers, Rocko. He was utterly faithful, and I cherished his companionship until the day he got into a fight with a bobcat and lost. Good ol’ Rocko, he was a scrapper, and would often get into tussles with various other creatures. I miss him. After Mateo and Adrian reluctantly accepted that I wasn’t going to give the wolf up, I went back to my room to check on her. She should be getting hungry or need to use the bathroom by now, the little thing has been under my bed for hours. With a bowl of chicken in hand, I approached my bedroom. An

Chapter: Chapter 8 -Bad To Worse: Vanessa“We should see if there’s anything else I can feed you. Are you hungry again?” he murmured and began rummaging around the kitchen. “Ezra, I told you to keep that thing out of my kitchen. You’ve fed it once already today, now take your pet and go,” the servant, whom he called Destiny, scolded. “She’s not a thing, Desi. She’s my beautiful wolf, and you’re gonna love her. Come on, girl, we’ll go back to our room. Don’t you pay any attention to Destiny, she’ll come around,” he said, stroking his hand down my back and nuzzling his face in my fur. Once we were back in his room, Ezra sat me back on the floor. Rather than going to the rug, I scurried under the bed. I needed to be away from him and his misguided affections. If he knew my true identity, I am 100% certain that he wouldn’t feel love or adoration for me. ‘I don’t know how much longer I can hold this form, Vanessa. We’re gonna have to get out of here sooner rather than later,’ Lena whimpered in our head. ‘I’m trying, girl. We’l

Chapter: Chapter 7 -Rotten Luck:TylerThis is all one heaping pile of bullshit. I have spent most of the last day and night looking for the little bitch, Vanessa, and she is nowhere to be found. I think that asshole, Lucien, knows where she’s at and just isn’t telling anyone. That’s where I am heading now, on my way to beat it out of him. I approached the small cottage that Lucien lived in with his family. I stepped onto his porch and pounded on the door. “Open the fucking door, Lucien! I know you know where she is,” I shouted. I listened as footsteps approached the door, before I heard the sound of the door handle being turned.“Delta Heir Tyler, how can I help you today?” Lucien’s father asked cautiously after opening the door. I could see his little sisters playing on the living room floor and his mother at the stove cooking a meal. “Your son, I want to speak to him now,” I growled.“If you wait here, I will let Lucien know you’re here. He was just getting a shower after searching for his girlfriend for the last 24 h

Chapter: Chapter 6 -His Pet: VanessaI couldn’t believe my luck! My captor is a vampire who wants me as a pet! I should have known by the strength with which he held onto me. In reality, I was too exhausted to notice anything of importance. When he took me into his home, I immediately began thinking of a way to escape. I couldn’t believe this vampire was carrying me around like I was his damn pet chihuahua. I can’t help wondering if he would be murmuring his words of reassurance if he knew that I wasn’t your average wolf, but his sworn enemy. If this were any other supernatural being, I might find the situation comical. The little whimpers he was responding to were those of my wolf. Lena wasn’t used to maintaining this form for as long as we had. “Hold on, girlfriend, we’ll get out of here as soon as possible.”Would he kill me instantly? Would he torture, then kill me? Would he hold me prisoner and try to ransom me back to my pack? The possibilities were endless, and there was one thing I knew for sure: I wasn’t going

Chapter: Chapter 5 -Good Fortune: EzraI had been waiting for night to fall so that I could go into the city and feed. I wanted something different this evening, something other than the blood of one of our servants. Any one of them would gladly fulfill my needs, but I was restless and wanted a change of pace. Surprise washed over me when I opened the door and spotted a wolf sleeping on my front porch. As a rule, vampires steer clear of wolves, though once, about 125 years ago, I had one that I kept as a pet. That, of course, was before I found my brothers. Adrian and Mateo aren’t actually my brothers, but we have been together for the past 100 years. At first, it was friendship only, but over the years, it has developed into a brotherhood of sorts. We built this home together and have shared servants for the last 87 years. None of us has taken a paladin since we’ve been together, but there hasn’t been a need for it. What is a paladin? It’s simple; a paladin is a loyal animal companion. The best way to explain what I me

Chapter: Chapter 4 -On The Run: VanessaI was fortunate that my wolf and I had trained extensively. We would occasionally go down to the train tracks and test our speed against that of the locomotives barreling down the tracks. I never did anything risky like trying to outrun and cross in front of it, but I like to test my speed and endurance. I ran past the river, past the spot where Tyler and I always went to celebrate, to cry, to just escape the everyday moments of pack life. I didn’t know my heart could shatter any more than it already had, but the weight of all that had happened since I arrived on the riverbank this morning was suffocating. I don’t know if I could ever find peace there anymore. I didn’t know if I even wanted to.I ran for what seemed like hours, but I knew the moment that I had crossed the pack borders because I could breathe easier. Somehow, I knew that if anyone had recovered quickly enough to do anything about me running, they wouldn’t cross the pack border to come after me. I wish I could say tha
