Chapter 30. Mene.
The conversation flowed easily throughout the meal, like they had been old friends catching up after a long absence.
They had moved back to the loungearea infront of the fire, stomachs fit to burst after three courses of delectable food. Mila had brought through a tray of coffee which was appreciated by everyone.
Lounging around enjoying the comfortable chatter, Brodie hardly took his his hands off of Talia. He was always touching her in some small way, currently his fingers were playing with the soft, silky curls of her hair.
Talia had been explaining to Brodie's parents about her plans to become a doctor, her inherant desire to help others when she started to feel odd, losing focus, her words refusing to form as she continued trying to talk.
She went silent, her eyes rolled back in her head as her body started convulsing before suddenly going still. The panicked voices of everyone else in the room sounded fuzzy and far-away to Talia as if she was li

Finding Him Chapter 1. The Dream
The room was in complete darkness, not even the tiniest sliver of light was able to find a way through the dense black.The only sound she could hear was her own staggered breathing, a musky smell invaded her nostrils. To try and let her senses adjust to the oppressive gloom, she inhaled deeply and closed her eyes.A deep rumbling caused her to open her eyes quicker than she would've liked. Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead, physically exposing the fear she was beginning to feel.As if sensing her fear, the rumbling intensified. She squinted into the dark, although not clear she could've sworn that a pair of golden eyes had appeared. Swallowing hard, her instincts were telling her to run, to get away from the ominious noise and the beams of light that seemed to glow brighter as the thundering growl increased.Hands trembling, she tentatively reached
Finding Him Chapter 2. Just Another Day
Talia left her house and turned right onto the street. She enjoyed walking to school. It was peaceful and beautiful. Each season had its own particular beauty. At the moment the trees were dense and lush with varying shades of green adding dimension , shade and light to every small area. She tried not to dwell on the dream as she steadily walked along, but it kept snaking through her mind. Who was that wolf? Did they have something to do with her past? Shaking her head, Talia focused her thoughts on school instead. She was naturally gifted academically although she put this down to her love of reading. When she wasn't training, she was in the library absorbing all the knowledge that being alone granted her. Growing up in the pack was not the same as being born into it. All the people her age were brought up together and Talia being an outsider, made them wary of her. The bond was not there as it was for them.
Finding Him Chapter 3. Did She Really Do That?
As the training was usually held in the afternoon, other students and sometimes adults of the pack came to assess the progress of the younger members.Today, there was a crackle of excitement in the air. Hudson Bennett the Alpha of Bloodrose and his son, Brodie, the future alpha had come by to watch.They wanted to cherry pick the best fighters to be part of their elite warriors. It was the highest honour for any fighter."How they looking Theo? Any elite among this class?", Hudson's rich, sonorous voice quizzed the combat teacher.He took great pride in the fact that he was in the elite for his class and that he son followed in his footsteps."A few promising ones my Alpha. Even some of girls are shaping up to be some of the best.", Theo didn't mean that to sound condescending.The females were encouraged to fight and to be able to defend themselves but very
Finding Him Chapter 4. A Little Persuasion
Talia left the speechless Alpha and the stunned crowd behind her and continued on to the shower block.She went to the very end and stripped. Wolves were notoriously unabashed and free in their naked forms but Talia, who wasn't bothered by others nudity, was shy of her own. She wanted her mate to be the only one to see her intimately. It was an old fashioned notion which she clung to dearly.As the water cascaded over her, a slow, heartbreaking tune escaped her. Her smooth voice spoke of love lost and the despair of losing one's self and destined mate.Brodie was quicker to shake off the daze that the little girl had left them in. He decided to go and find her. Talk to her and perhaps persuade her to train with the warriors. There was a tightening in his body at the thought of being able spar with her. Shaking his head, he took off in the direction she had taken.Hudson saw his son sprint off to foll
Finding Him Chapter 5. Is There Something Wrong with Me?
Talia woke up fully after an hour of arriving at the hospital. The pungent odour of disinfectant invaded her nostrils. She also detected a subtle hint of lavender, turning her head towards that gentle note, she saw her mother sat beside her. Worry lines were etched into her forehead."Hey Ma! Don't frown so much. Those lines will become permanent.", Talia smiled weakly as she spoke to Violet.Violet studied her daughter's face intently, "Oh sweetheart, thank the goddess that your alright!", a small sob escaped Violets lips."Ofcourse I'm fine. It'll take a lot more than a wall to take down a she-wolf like me.", Talia thought humour would be the best way to soothe her mother's fragile nerves. A small ghost of a smile appeared on Violets face. It was working."Yes, but it's enough to send me into a mass of worry.", she gently scolded.Talia sat up slightly, assessing her body as sh
Finding Him Chapter 6. Nothing Special.
Talia looked up from her hands, "Is there? I mean, I'm just an orphan. There's nothing special about me at all.", tears were beginning to form in the corner of her eyes. This was so unlike her. Dr. Stewart curbed his excitement as he watched her. He couldn't help wanting to discover why this girl was different. He never imagined that she wouldn't be intrigued. Most people of her age wanted to be special, wanted to stand-out, but not her. "It's alright young one. I won't keep you here against your will but maybe if you could answer a couple of questions, just to satisfy an old man's curiosity?", he was gentle with her. Gaining any information was better than nothing. "I'm not sure if I'll be able to help you any. Can I think about it?", Talia was conflicted. The sudden attention that she was receiving made her uncomfortable. Apart from her adoptive parents, she wasn't used to any kind of affec
Finding Him Chapter 7. Trying to Remember
Dr. Stewart came by to thank Talia for agreeing to help him. He took several viles of blood as samples to carry out various tests on. The doctor said he'd be back to ask a few questions once he had finished his rounds.Talia was nervous but her parents gave her encouragement. Brodie had to leave but promised to be back in time if she wanted him to be. She did. She really did.She had never needed or wanted a friend but now Talia didn't want him to go. When she thought about Brodie, there were little flutterings in her stomach. It was strange and new but somehow comforting at the same time.Talia passed the time catching up with a school assignment for English. Writers block kicked in. Normally she would go for a run to clear her mind but this wasn't an option just now so she settled for a shower instead.She had just finished changing into a hoodie and shorts when Brodie came back with
Finding Him CHAPTER 8. Jigsaw of Memories.
The air in the room was thick with expectation and anticipation. They all wanted to know what Talia had learned. Brodie had some idea as he was linked to her.She felt terrible but she really wanted to be alone for a while and didn't want to talk about it. She needed to take a beat and process it first."I know you want answers but honestly I'm exhausted and could do with some time on my own.", Talia looked at Dr. Stewart, "Do you think I could leave? I would like to be back in familiar surroundings."Violet was about to protest. After what she had just witnessed she wanted Talia to stay another day or two."Please? I'm fine. I want to be at home.", Talia opened her eyes wide and pouted slightly. This trick had work since she was a young child."OK darling, if the doctor agrees then we'll take you home now." Talia pumped her fist in her mind then turned to face the doctor."Physically there is nothing stopping you. I'd like you to make an ap
