150 – A PATH IN THE CHAOSTHIRD PERSON POVThe tremendous shockwave didn’t just hit, Rebekka, Stephan, Damon and Claude, a small pulse of it shot far past the borders of the half-moon pack and travelled miles until it reached Lady Cecile who was soaking in a hot tub in their new hideout.Thanks to Stephan finding out their last headquarters, the witches had to move again and this was not something that Lady Cecile was happy about and that was why she beset the Wendigo on Stephan and all those he held dear.If things worked out the way they were supposed to, it should have killed all his friends and then killed Stephan, if luck was also on their side, it should have also killed the Luna and the alpha.But Lady Cecile knew that the beast being able to kill alpha Micheal was a bit of a stretch and she was just satisfied with it taking his beloved heir from him after making him witness all his friends die.Damon had unwittingly supplied her the perfect candidate to conduct the spell with,
149 – ICE COLD HEARTS AND FLOWING BLOODREBEKKA POVLord Stephan was pacing back and forth in the lobby of the clinic when I came to meet him. I was glad that he was looking much better than he was in the morning.“Damon filled me in on how to neutralize the creature, we have a plan to trap him, all we need now is your blood,” he said.“Okay… how are you feeling?” I asked, my face was twisted with worry. Everything that he just said flew in one ear and out the other.His gaze softened, “I am fine, Rebekka, we will talk all about it after it is done, okay? Right now, I need a vial of your blood.”I sighed deeply, “I have to come with you,” I said.“What?” he stared at me in confusion, “No, all we need is your blood, you don’t need to be there.”“Actually…” I reached for the book where Damon found the Wendigo and flipped the pages and showed it to him, “It states that the Blood of the Goddess needs to drop directly from the pulsing vein to the beating heart of the beast.”His eyes scann
148 – CATCHING A WENDIGODAMON POV“Commander Vane? What did he do? What is going on?” Claude was staring at Stephan with suspicion in his eyes.He did not seem to have gotten over the fact that Stephan was all bruised and fucked up.“Are you coming along or are you going to stand there asking plenty questions?” I asked impatiently.The sooner we found Vane, the quicker we could put this whole mess behind us. The only good opportunity that this situation provided for me for the chance to pin all the spy stuff on Vane’s head.He was in no position to defend himself and besides, it all fit perfectly in a neat bow but Stephan’s suspicious ass was not buying it entirely. “Damon is right,” Stephan said, “Let’s get moving.”Claude and I exchanged a look of surprise, “I am right?” I asked in surprise, “Wow, look who is now agreeing with me.”“Shut it!” Stephan barked, “You are only here because we need you to find your chief, you know him best, where would he go to hide.”I shrugged, “No i
147 – TRACKERS STEPHAN POVNo, no, no, there was no way that that creature was Vane, it was not possible.Vane was as loyal as they came, no way he was running around killing comrades and members of my pack.But Damon could not be making that up, he was an ass but he was not stupid, he knew the cost of such an accusation and besides, he seemed to be aware of the fact that silver blades were fucking useless against that thing.“We have to get you to the clinic,” Rebekka was saying.I ignored her, “You saw it yourself?” I asked Damon.He scoffed, “Guess you experienced what I did, just way worse,” he looked me over, “You couldn’t kill it, could you?”I gnashed my teeth, one whole night spent going from the hunter to the hunted, I came closer to losing my life last night than I did to stopping that creature.The thought that it was still out there, drove me insane.“It is worse than you think,” Damon said.I winced as I struggled to my feet, no way I was going to sit on my ass and have
146 – LIES AS TRUTH REBEKKA POV“Yes, you were right, your blood can break the curse,” he continued to speak.A wave of relief washed over me, I was right, he knew all along, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get out there.”“Did you listen to anything that I told you? I stuck him with a silver dagger in the heart and it didn’t slow him down.”“Yes,” I said eagerly, “You just said that my blood can break the curse, let’s use it to do so.”Damon squinted as he stared at me, “Have you ever been in a fight before? Vane or the Wendigo is not exactly going to sit there waiting for you to come cure it. We should wait until the day when he is back in his human form, then he will be easier to deal with.”“No, we cannot do that,” I snapped, “Lord Stephan is out there right now, that monster is hurting him and if what you said is true, he has no way to kill it.”Damon still remained unfazed but there was a faraway look in his eyes, “If the alpha son is anything like I think he is, he would
145 – PARALYZEDSTEPHAN POVClaude was safe and he was going to remain that way.Tonight, I would put an end to this menace and avenge my three fallen comrades.I had no idea how the creature was tracking them but I knew it was doing so somehow, each and everyone of them had been found and brutally murdered and what was worse, it looked as if they didn’t put on a fight.That didn’t make any sense to me, these were all well trained warriors, could it be that the creature was so stealthy that it got the drop on all three of them?That was not possible, could it be that there was more than one creature?The thought of that scared me a little, I had not put that into consideration when I made this half-cocked plan.It didn’t matter, the plan was in motion and there was no backing out of it.I thrust my hands deep into my pocket as I walked the empty cobbled streets.Ever since the murders started, the high-borns were too afraid to come out at night, it was not every day that three high-bo
