The Calling Chapter 15
Chapter 15HadleyIt’s strange how one’s fears always come true. He asked the question that has been replaying in my mind on an endless loop for the past three years. My heart had only just calmed when it started racing again.“Please just let me leave, you don’t need to see me again. I won’t tell anyone about your town. Please just let me leave.” I beg as my body begins to shake.“Sweety, we don’t want you to leave, please, calm down. Why don’t you take a bath and then when you are ready you can come and talk to us?” Avery speaks softly, still rubbing my back in comfort.I shake my head and move to get off the bed. I am about to fall to my knees in front of this man and beg if that means I can leave.“You helped save the life of one of my men. Whatever it is, we are thankful to you for helping us.” I stop in my tracks at Cain’s words.‘Thankful’, no one has ever been thankful before. They all hated me, said I was a freak, wanted to ‘use’ me for what I was worth. The thought of it alo
The Calling Chapter 16
Chapter 16 Hadley Avery envelopes me in a hug. I feel overwhelming emotion running through me, but somehow the happiness overwhelms the need for tears to spill. Smiling would have been the way to go but my face rather resembles a deer in headlights. I don’t know what to say, my mind has always been a little overly busy, I can convince myself out of buying anything I actually need. But now it’s blank. Just nothing. I stare at Cain a good while too long and he smiles softly. “You once asked why I was healed, I told you earlier that I heal faster. That was not a lie, in fact, we all do. You have helped us twice now, you shared your secret with us and now I will tell you ours. Cain turns on his heel to leave my bedroom, he stands in the hall and folds his muscular arms over his chest. “Might want to grab something warm, we’ll be going outside.” I look to Avery and she gives a smile and nods at me before shooing everyone out, so I can grab something from the closet. I get dressed in t
The Calling Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Hadley I look to Cain and realization hits me, the claw marks on him. He was attacked, but he is also a werewolf isn’t he? Why did they attack him? “Those were rogues, they are wolves, but they are not like us. Rogues do not have a pack. They do not listen to or follow any authority. They are banished from packs for crimes.” I look at him expectantly, waiting for further explanation. Entering the large house Cain ushers me to a couch and sits across from me. Avery sits beside me and Alec goes upstairs. I hope to find more to wear. “Wolves are pack animals, we are not meant to be alone. A pack is run by the strongest; Alpha, Beta, Delta and Head warrior. Every move and decision we make is for the protection and betterment of the pack.” I hear feet hitting the floor, I look to the stairs and see Alec making his way over to us. I think this is the first time I have heard any of them walking. Their steps are eerily quiet. Part of being a predator I suppose, the perfect hu
The Calling Chapter 18
Chapter 18Cain“I will try!”“You will not!” My wolf growls through my words, the thought of her in danger and being anywhere near those rogues, has my wolf pushing for control.“I am not letting you anywhere near them.”“Cain, this might prove useful. We have been searching no man’s land for weeks. We cannot find them. They have never worked in groups nor have the attacks been so frequent. They grow more confident after each successful raid. We are losing warriors.”Alec defends Hadley’s offer of help. I want to remind him who is Alpha but my wolf beams with pride at our Beta defending his Luna.I look to Hadley and her desire to be of help is clear. She has done enough at this point, but I need a reason to keep her with me.“Alpha, we have…there is a situation.” Border patrol calls out through the link.“What happened?”There is a long silence over the link, “Speak!”“It’s rather unique Alpha, I think it best if you see it for yourself.” I growl before standing, I am not fond of be
The Calling Chapter 19
Chapter 19Cain She steps back from me, eyes wide and her heart rate picks up. Shit!I forget she’s human, dumping all this information on her at once is frightening. I never explained the extent of our strength or heightened senses. I wanted to explain more later, after she had time to calm down and digest all this.I wanted to be gentle and caring, things that do not come naturally to me, but then I go and answer without thinking.“You can tell all that, just by standing there?” She asked the question hesitantly.The option of lying is out the door, I already said it and I do not wish to deceive her now only to be caught in a lie later. She must never have cause to distrust me.“Being Alpha my senses are sharper than most, but yes wolves can easily pick up on these things.” I give her a moment, observing her reactions for any signs of distress.“I would never use them against you. No one in this pack would hurt you, you helped us twice now. They all feel overjoyed that a human want
The Calling Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Hadley Climbing up that slope I immediately recognised Zylith’s voice, she was my best and well truth be told, only friend. Getting to the top I see four large men looking down at her, the scar-face man was there as well, pinching the bridge of his nose, clearly annoyed. She is poking one of the towering men in the chest while giving him a piece of her mind, curse words used as punctuations. The men look on in bewilderment at her fearless verbal assault. The man receiving the poking has his hand up in almost surrender, they are all too scared to make a move or to touch her. The men looked surprised to hear me call to her and she pushes past them to hug me. I am overjoyed to see her, and so relieved that she was okay. “Thank you for finding her and keeping her safe,” I say looking at the four men. They seem surprised at my gratitude, and simply gave a nod of acknowledgement. They look up at the tall figure behind me and I know it’s Cain without looking, they share a si
The Calling Chapter 21
Chapter 21HadleyLunch was amazing, I felt stuffed to the brim. Zylith complimented everything and burst into the kitchen to thank the staff, I followed trying to get her to lower her voice and I thanked and apologized after her.She was loud and confident everywhere she went. But people didn’t seem to have any problem with her. Eric patiently waited outside the kitchen for us and asked if we were ready to see Cain.After many flights of stairs, we come to double doors and Cain’s deep voice tells us to come in. Eric opens the doors and we enter what looked like a large office.There are shelves and couches lining the walls, with a large table with chairs all around in the middle. Cain was seated at his desk behind a laptop in the far back centre of the room. Behind him was a large window and a view of the grounds surrounding the house.Everything was set in dark colours of wood and metal, Alec comes over and introduces himself to Zylith before greeting me. Cain closes his laptop and
The Calling Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Hadley “Zylith you should sit.” I look up from my fiddling hands, I have decided to share this with her. I told complete strangers, all be it weird ones with secrets of their own. I should be able to share this with my best friend. “I am not sure how to start with this but, I hope you do not come to hate me afterwards.” I am still staring into her eyes waiting for reply. Zylith takes in a deep breath and sit down next to me again. She looks at me expectantly, “I am not like those assholes from your hometown.” She leans back in the couch and folds her arms waiting for me to begin. I give her the same details I did Alec and Cain before, Eric moved to close the door as soon as I began and is standing behind Alec now. I did not mind them knowing but having an audience did make me more nervous. Zylith sat completely still not moving or showing any emotion. It made telling my secret easier, after I finished Zylith kept still, as though waiting for more. “THAT’S IT?!” She sh
