Chapter 17
“Joel,” Gail called out as he stumbled back, pain etched on his face.
“Couldn’t have waited just five minutes,” he growled, taking off his t-shirt, tossing it to the ground.
“You’re shifting back?”
He nodded, then cried out as the crack of bone echoed through the woods.
Gail sucked in a breath and turned her back. She didn’t want to see that again. How could he stand to go through that every day? Guilt tugged at her heart. This was her fault. If she had figured out how to break the curse, he wouldn’t have to go through this.
She jumped when Joel nudged her leg with his snout. ‘It’s done.’
Gail looked down at him. “I’m sorry.”

Gail walked into the kitchen, tiredly fixing herself a cup of coffee. ‘How did it go?’ Joel asked as he trotted into the kitchen. “It’s going,” Gail said with a tight smile before taking a drink of her coffee. ‘Is that good or bad?’ “A little of both,” Gail said, eyeing the door. After her talk with her aunt, Gail thought it was best if she put some distance between her and Joel, but they were staying under the same roof, which made it more than a little difficult to avoid him. ‘Meaning?’ “I haven’t found anything that can help me free you.” ‘I see and that’s why you haven’t taken me with you in the last week?’

Gail ran her fingers over the leather bound spines of the books. None of the golden embossed titles called to her as books that might help her break Joel’s curse. Residual anger still stewed deep in her stomach as she remembered her conversation with Aunt Rose. After all this time, only now did Gail discover her aunt had a small library filled with books about magic. Perhaps if she had known about the library sooner, Gail might have been able to break Joel’s curse and avoid confessing her feelings to him. Two days had passed, and every time she was around Joel, the awkwardness was so thick it almost drowned her. Any time he started to say something, Gail would run out of the room, overwhelmed with an insane mix of fear and hope he’d tried to talk to her about it. As if she didn’t have enough to worry about, now this. It was all just too much. Gail needed to break this curse before she went insane.

Gail flipped through the old book with a sigh. “Nothing in this one.” ‘I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but I agree with your aunt. It seems these books have nothing about your magic or my curse. Your magic is rare, so rare I am surprised that both your mother and you both had it,’ Joel told her, stretching out his front paws. “Fine, okay,” Gail said, closing the book and setting it to the side. “But I’m getting pretty good with my magic and using it how I want. Why haven’t I broken your curse yet?” ‘I don’t know, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out.’ She sighed and shook her head. Gail wasn’t so sure she would. Not after all this time. Nothing new had come to her. She hadn’t made a single step towards coming closer to freeing Joel.

Joel sat on the back patio. He sniffed the air, searching for any hints of witches besides Gail or her aunt. The only witch scents he detected in the air came from them. The coven didn’t even come close to the house. If they weren’t spying on them, what did the coven do during this time? He hoped his brother and friends were still safe. Joel heard Gail from the kitchen making her way out into the backyard. He whined, hearing her aunt following her. “But why do you want to come?” Gail asked as she joined Joel out on the patio. Her aunt followed behind her. “Well, to help you, of course,” her aunt replied. “It’s been a few weeks now. I figured you wouldn’t mind the company.” Her tone took on an edge of hurt, but with one sniff, Joel could tell the hurt didn’t go farther than her voice. What did Gail’s aunt have up her sleeve?

Gail sat, crossed legged. She ran her fingertips over the blades of grass, trying to decide if she should ask Joel what was wrong or not. Ever since she’d come back that morning, he’d been distant and quiet. Even now they had taken their habitual walk to the forest clearing, Joel laid in the grass, looking up at the sky. He hadn’t said more than a handful of words to her. Something upset him, but she hesitated to ask what in case he might be mad at her. Gail didn’t think she had done anything wrong. Perhaps it was about her going off with her aunt that morning, but Joel agreed to stay behind. Or perhaps he only said that to get on his aunt’s good side and expected Gail to insist that he go with them? She clasped her hands together, twisting her fingers. She would never figure it out if she didn’t speak up. Gail sighed and looked down at a small patch of dandelions next to her.

Gail walked back to the house with Joel. The entire time, thinking about how she was going to talk to her aunt about her parents. If Aunt Rose didn’t know the details, she had to at least could tell them how her parents knew Joel’s family. However, as soon as they got into the house, Aunt Rose handed Gail her cell phone, looking angry.“It’s his people,” she said, glancing down at Joel.Joel perked up back in his husky form. ‘They’re calling? Something wrong?’Gail took the phone and held it up to her ear. “Hello?”“Is this the witch who has my brother?” A familiar male voice demanded.“I don’t have him, but yes, Joel is here.&rdqu

Gail’s mind battled with the reality that Joel was going to leave her soon. Also, she couldn’t get angry at the fact. His pack and werewolves needed him. She refused to get depressed over it, either. Gail would not be the type of girl to mope over a guy, even if that guy was as incredible as Joel. She also didn’t want him to feel guilty for leaving. It had to be done and Gail would do her best to make it easier for him when the time came. “Everything okay? You’ve been quiet since we left,” Joel asked, his fingers drumming against the passenger side door. He was still human, and if the past had anything to show, he would be for almost another hour still. “Yeah, everything is as it should be,” she told him, then added for good measure, “It was interesting being the one that people suspected.” “They mean

Gail was going to put herself first. Just like her aunt told her to. She waited for Joel to wake up from his nap and told him her plan. ‘Should I be there? I mean, perhaps it’s best if it was just the two of you.’ “We’re talking about your family, too. You should come,” Gail told him. ‘Alright, let’s go then.’ He followed her downstairs and into her aunt’s office. “We need to talk,” Gail said as soon as she walked into the room. Her aunt looked up from the laptop on her desk and stood. She walked around the desk and asked, “Talk? What about?” Her tone sharpened when she saw Joel. “Oh, you’re here then I can only imagine.” “Aunt Rose,” Gail said, matching her stern tone.
