He could not believe he was looking at Jake from old times.This time, Grimshaw had bitten deeper into his cut and was hell-bent on drawing him out. The last time he saw Jake, they were only kids, and the latter's father had decided to leave for another pack because of love. Jake's mother died during childbirth and eventually left Jake to his father when the older man found love in another woman's eyes.Unfortunately, he could not get her to join his pack but left his to hers, which might explain the other two brothers crying over him.Sebastian held his tears inside as they threatened to spill out. He had wondered for some time how it would be should he encounter his childhood training buddy. He never imagined he would get to see him in such a bloody state. It was unexpected as well as unbecoming.He looked into those familiar eyes and could see death hastily approaching. The youngest clung to his arm, begging him to save him, but even Jake knew he was already done for."Who did this
"Of course not. I want to hear everything that happened." Sebastian said.You might be wondering why, if all rooms were there, he had to choose this one. It had something to dovery well with him being called an alpha as he sought now to seem intimidating and nothing more doesthat trick like a king seated majestically on his throne.But there was even more to the choice he had realized. Werewolves did have a great sense of hearing anything, but there was speculation that they could detect lies that had nothing to do with any extra magical gifts.It was the fact that they would spend a lot of time listening as one spoke to their heartbeat and see if there was a change in the tune.Such a change usually translates to a switch from the truth, and that's how they find out things. The oakdoors would prevent further intrusion from any other heartbeat in the castle, mainly Mara's, which hewanted to listen to right now.He wanted to hear her say how much she loved him while he listened and
Days now, and Blackwell mansion was beginning to take another form. It was not what he had anticipated would happen that night when he rescued her from Grimshaw's men, but now he was happy he had stepped in for her.Given another chance at going back in time and undoing what he had done, Sebastian was sure he would not. His study was taking a whole new look, and even though he liked to litter books around, he ensured it was not as bad as it used to be.The mansion had started looking back in shape but not totally. working on the estate hadto take weeks to accomplish.There was even more, the training grounds were back to life, and they will all be able to train in a better environment and with much more excellent equipment.However, something big was about to happen at Blackwell, and it was for the best. The first young wolf among them in many years would be turning sixteen at the same time and will transform into her wolf form for the first time. It was also the first transformation
The same dream had happened about three times now, and all she would see was a vision of the moon only that it seemed she was looking at it from a particular spot in the castle. The place was dark, and the window from which she saw was tiny. The next thing she heard was the rattling movement of chains. Not just any kind of chains, but these were heavy. She would then look down and see the chain attached to her leg firmly. The light of the moon would reflect on her different hair. It was black instead of blonde. The entire flashes were followed by her seeming to inhale something musky and then a lot of screaming in pain. It was always at the point of hearing the sound of a bone breaking that Mara found herself waking up. She had decided against telling Sebastian about the dream, knowing well enough that there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. He had expressed his fears against people that see things, especially as they always turn out to be sorceress and evil. She did no
Mara could not understand what had happened to her or how she got to the forest. Perhaps she had been sleepwalking, but this was way too much.She had no idea but suddenly realized she was standing in the middle of the forest, staring straight into the full moon above her.Mara had been caught up in some trance, and when she realized what had happened, she found she was barefooted without footwear.Her legs were dirty and cold, and so was her entire body. She must have been through some thicketsbecause all around her waist and down to her toes were signs that something had happened to her.There were thorns here and there, and some did cut into her but not too deep. Her robe had holes and patches also.Mara stared around her, confused at the overwhelming darkness.While she had been in her trance state, she had heard wolves howling but now that she was no longer in a trance, she did not know if they were real.However, her primary concern was for her to return to the castle immediate
Hearing his words, it dawned on her that what had happened earlier with the beast in the forest was him.It was undoubtedly Sebastian, and to think he had scared her and acted the way he did, Mara opted to tell a lie instead."I wasn't outside. You saw me inside," she said to him but without confidence."Do not lie to me," he said and flashed those eyes she had caught glimpses of in the forest.A part of Mara had suspected that it had been Sebastian as she had seen those eyes before, but when he ran off the first time, she became scared on second thoughts that what if that had been Grimshaw.She could have become toast by this time.Well, since he desired to know her reason for being outside, and she had no idea why she was there, she decided to tell him the first thing that came to her mind."I have no idea. I must have stepped out at some point and needed air," she said to him."Air in the forest? Nothing makes sense, woman," he yelled at herSeeing how he was acting towards her, "L
Mara felt so much pain within her seeing the girl in that position. She could not understand why on earth Sebastian would be that cruel as to lock her up. Seeing her aggressive behavior, Mara interpreted it as a result of the chains. No one would feel comfortable having to be locked up and made into an animal like she was. Mara looked behind her, and seeing no one coming; she decided to help Maria. Mara called her name, but Maria kept snapping at her like a wild wolf. Her eyes were of another color, and she had replaced teeth with fangs and fingers with claws. It was terrifying what was happening to her; wild hairs on her usually smooth, beautiful skin raised like heckles on a wolf. Seeing Maria, that was usually self-drawn and quiet in this state, broke her heart completely. She had changed into something wild. At that moment, It dawned on Mara that this was what the full moon does to the wolves. Maria was young, which means that she was not yet familiar with transformatio
Not sure about what was going on, Maria's words registered with her, and she realized that instead of being in the cell with her, they were in a place that looked like a vast space with no sign of life.She looked around and wondered how they got there and how Maria was no longer bound by the chains holding her secured in the cell. She also realized that earlier, when she moved toward Maria, she had floated instead of walking.Confused, she wondered what was happening and how everything around them had suddenly changed. However, it suddenly dawned on her what was happening and where she was.She... or rather, they were still there in the cell but mentally elsewhere.They seem to be in another dimension...No, that doesn't sound right... she thought.Not another dimension...rather...Then it clicked...She was in the girl's head.But how she got there evaded her.And thinking more clearly about it, it was almost the same way she could not explain how she ended up in the woods that nig
