“I don’t really remember a lot of what happened,” Ronnie said as she sipped the tea, I gave her.We had returned to my home in Sabrebite a few hours ago and I had Ronnie resting on the couch with Erick beside her. Anderson was pacing back and forth like a mad man, anxious that this meant a new revolution was about to break loose.He wasn’t far off.With Jonathan in Blackcrest and still no word from him, I feared the same thing.“I just remember that woman…” she whispered.Ronnie had told us Elijah slaughtered an elder woman right in front of her using a butcher knife. She couldn’t get the sounds out of her head and every time she closed her eyes, she could see the woman’s face.“You don’t remember anything Elijah said to you?” I asked, sitting down on the other side of her.She shook her head, staring down at the cup of tea in her hands.“No…” she said hoarsely. “Next thing I remembered I was in Dr. Beverly’s office.”“We are just glad you’re alive,” I told her softly.Tears began fill
Arina looked completely taken back by the news that her baby daughter was developing her wolf’s feet. That explained the bruising on her ribcage. The baby must have been kicking the side of her body with her feet, causing damage from the inside.Rock kept staring over at Ronnie as though he was expecting her to walk to his side and stand there like some kind of trophy daughter. Erick had a protective arm around her, and she was resting the back of her head in his chest as Dr. Emily continued examining Arina.“I’m going to give you some antibiotics to help with any infections. It should decrease some of the bruising. I’ll give you some medication to help with the pain and reduce your fever. For right now though, you should stay rested in bed,” Dr. Emily told her.She didn’t argue. She nodded slowly as Dr. Emily prepared the medication.Once Dr. Emily was done, she and Rock took off. Rock said nothing more to any of them; he wouldn’t even look in Ronnie’s direction. Which was fine with h
Elijah’s dead. Jonathan stood in front of Elijah’s deceased body; blood pouring from the scratches on his torso and bite marks along his neck. He was in his human form and his chest was no longer heaving for air. Elijah’s blood was stained on Graham’s clothing; Graham’s fists clenched in a fit of rage.“Our debt has been paid,” Graham announced to Jonathan, allowing his voice to boom across Blackcrest. “Blood for blood. There is no reason for you to stay any longer.”He couldn’t believe the events that had just occurred. Graham seemed clueless as to what Elijah was planning; he appeared to not know that Elijah was hunting on forbidden territories and killing wolves in his travel. To repay the debt Elijah racked up, Graham slaughtered Elijah right in front of Jonathan.It was something he wasn’t expecting when he arrived in Blackcrest. As soon as he arrived, he knew something horrible was going down. Erick was in the middle of a fight with Elijah and Ronnie was passed out in her own bl
“You can’t just leave again!” I cried to Jonathan as he was getting ready to run out the door.“I can’t just let him die, Arina,” Jonathan yelled.He was panicking and wasn’t thinking straight. We were all panicking. Erick, who had just gotten back from getting coffees, was blocking the doorway so Jonathan couldn’t get through.“Graham said if any more outsiders enter Blackcrest, they would be killed on the spot,” Jonathan told us. Fear was rising in his tone as he tried to get through Erick.“He left last night; he would be there by now,” Erick told him. “I’ll try linking him again.”“His link hasn’t been going through. Which means something is wrong,” Jonathan argued.I was out of bed and grabbing onto his arm; tears streaming down my face. I couldn’t let him leave again. I couldn’t lose him again. I had just gotten him back.“Maybe he never went. Maybe he went home to Marian,” I suggested, trying to keep the fear out of my own voice.“Try linking her,” Jonathan ordered me.I nodded
The news of Anderson’s death was shocking; he was one of Jonathan’s best friends. One of the kindest and strongest wolves that Jonathan had the pleasure of knowing. It’s been about a week since the news of his death, and it still didn’t seem real.Graham allowed Jonathan to come and collect Anderson’s ashes; that way there can be a proper burial in Anderson’s town, Paletooth. There were about 200 or more wolves that attended the ceremony. Anderson was a well-known and very liked wolf; even Rock and Melissa attended the ceremony.Marian was wearing a black gown that draped around her feet; the lacy fabrics falling around the ground like a wedding gown. Her dark auburn hair grew a bit more than her usual pixie hairstyle and was pulled back in a black beret. She wore a dark blush on her upper cheekbones and red lipstick that brought out her fair features. Her eyeliner and mascara were smeared under her eyes as tears fell down her cheeks.Jonathan had known Marian for years and this was th
“So, what’s your next move?” Piper asked, her voice filled with a silky seduction.Her wavy blonde hair fell silkily around her shoulders and down her back like melted caramel. Her sapphire blue eyes peered up at him through her long and dark lashes. She wore a red dress that hugged her body perfectly, showing off the curves around her waistline and amplifying her large breasts.Her fair skin glistened as she soaked under the night’s sky; the moon reflecting off her body and tickling her features.Out of all his affairs, Piper was probably his favorite. Not only was she young and beautiful, but she was easy to talk to. Despite her constant need for sex and that she fucks him with her eyes, she seems to genuinely care about what he says. She listens and provides feedback that proves to be useful to him.He enjoyed spending time with her; the more time he spent with her, the more he found himself sharing more with her. She didn’t fear him as most do. The more force he uses against her, t
“Aaaaaahhhhhh…” A sharp pain coursed through my body.The bruising around the sides of my stomach was beginning to worsen; it went from a light purple to a dark purple and light blue. The bruise expanded from the side of my stomach to my lower torso.I could feel the heat in my body rising as a fever spiked. I was lightheaded and the voices in the room were becoming distorted. I could feel beads of sweat falling on the sides of my face and landing on my chest, soaking into the blanket that covered me.I felt a cold cloth draped gently around my face; the liquid washed over my features and soothed away the heat attached to the fever.“Arina, just breathe,” Jonathan whispered from beside me.He’s been wonderful. He hasn’t left my bedside since the pain started a few hours ago. Dr. Emily was on the other side of my bed, she plugged an IV in, filling it with a clear liquid that kept me hydrated. I could feel the cold fluids running through my veins.“Is there anything we can do for her?” J
“Are you sure it’s okay if I stay here?” Ronnie asked, peering up at Erick through her dark lashes.She sat curled up on his living room couch; she came around the corner from his kitchen. His chest was bare and the sight of him made her cheeks and freckled nose go pink. She felt heat rising through her face as he came closer to her.Ronnie wanted to give Arina and Jonathan some time to themselves; especially considering Arina was so ill. However, she also didn’t want to return home to Ironclaw. She wasn’t sure if she could face her mother again and she certainly didn’t want to face Rock.“Of course, I’m sure, Ronnie,” Erick said, his voice low and almost seductive.It sent warmth through Ronnie’s body and tickled her features.“I’m actually really glad to be able to spend some time with you… alone,” Erick added, almost sheepishly. “We haven’t really gotten a chance to talk about…” his voice trailed off as his face grew red.Ronnie didn’t need him to finish that sentence, she knew what
