There is no heart for me like yours.Maya AngelouSarah and Pete had finally finished running the blood sample and they were sat at Sarah’s desk ready to compare the results on her computer screen. It was the early hours of the morning and Sarah’s eyes felt gritty with tiredness. She scrolled down the screen to find the results from the original crime scene to compare against the new one when a name caught her eye.‘Harris.’Pete noticed her frowning at the screen.“What’s wrong?” he asked.“What was the name of the guy, the drug dealer or whatever he is who put a price on the Reiver’s head?” she asked, not taking her eyes off the screen.“Harris, Gordon Harris, why?”“There was a victim of the massacre called Paul Harris, his DNA profile is here, I tested it myself. Maybe they are related?” she looked at Pete questioningly.“Maybe,” he agreed with a nod, I’ll mention it to the police the next time I speak to them.” Sarah just nodded as she watched her screen waiting for the results t
A man that studieth revengeKeeps his own wounds green.Francis Bacon.Annie felt herself being dragged from the comforting depths of sleep by erotic tingles running up her spine. As she slowly became aware of her surroundings she realised that she and Hugh had somehow switched places during the night, she was lying on top of him as he was trailing his fingers up and down her back.“What time is it?” mumbled Annie, he voice rough with sleep.“About five I think.” replied Hugh lazily. Annie gave a big sigh.“I still don’t really understand what happened this morning? I thought we were in real trouble there. Who was that wolf, MacGregor was it, and his mate, she’s human isn’t she?”“She is, what makes you think they are mates?” replied Hugh looking down at her, frowning.Annie thought for a moment, “Just the way he was with her, like they were joined somehow. He was very protective of her and the way he looks at her too. I think they are mates but perhaps she doesn’t know it yet.” she
If it is between the sheep and the wolf, go with the wolf,he will love in the tenderest but fiercest of ways.N.R. Hart.Their food arrived and everyone dug into their surf and turf, when it was safe to talk again Annie asked Sarah if she had got her DNA too.“If you were the female wolf that was there, then yes, I have your DNA. Do you mind if I ask what happened, how you came to be there?”Annie explained the whole saga to Sarah whose eyebrows shot up when she heard the gang had kidnapped her off the street in England and then brought her to Edinburgh in the boot of a car after drugging her. Annie told her they about the men talking about gang raping her so she felt she had no choice but to defend herself. Sarah readily agreed. Sarah mentioned the second male DNA she had found and was shocked when Hugh told her it was from his son. Sarah frowned, if they were mates and they had a son, she would be able to tell they were all related through the DNA.“What are you thinking?” asked Pe
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand.Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.William Shakespeare.For 306 years, Sentinel had done its job, gone above and beyond to keep the Packs in check and the human safe from the wolves. It wasn’t like the humans hadn’t tried to make peace with the Packs, during the two world wars for example, the wolves had been approached on more than one occasion and requested them to join the armed forces to fight for King and country. Some Packs and individual wolves chose to fight with the humans but most did not. Not one of the Reiver clans chose to join up as it was pointed out in a meeting of all the Clans, wolves were not welcome in human society until they needed warriors, they didn’t want to live with wolves but they expected the wolves to die for them. They had been persecuted, shunned and ignored for hundreds of years and as far as the Reivers were concerned, the wars were a human problem so let the humans fight and die for them. A vote wa
Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled. Richelle. E. Goodrich Grenville left the train in Edinburgh at 07.45 feeling quite refreshed as he managed to sleep for five hours, lulled to sleep by the swaying of the train. The first thing he did was find a place to grab some food, he found an all day pub right by Waverley Station where he ordered a full English breakfast. He struggled to find somewhere to sit as the place was heaving with tourists and commuters which surprised him as it was only eight in the morning. He found a small table squeezed into a corner and squashed himself into it. After breakfast he went to look for somewhere to stay, he wandered around for hours but to his frustration everywhere he found was full. Grenville, in his rush to get to Edinburgh hadn’t realised that the Fringe Festival was on and as a highly popular event, the city was crammed with performers from all over the world. There was hardly a hotel room or bed and breakf
A MacGregor is a wolf who will double crossthat bridge when comes to it.Oliver Levant./ M. HowardSarah and Pete wandered around for a few more hours before Pete walked her home.“Do you want me to pick you up for work tomorrow?” asked Pete, kissing her.“No, I’ll make my own way in, I don’t want to be the topic of lab gossip.” she replied, kissing him back.“Let them gossip if they want, I don’t care. I want everyone to know you’re mine.” mumbled Pete as he nuzzled her neck.“I don’t mind people knowing at all, it’s just I’d like to keep our private life private, it’s nothing to do with anyone else what we do.”Rufus growled his displeasure but Pete understood. Office gossip was the worst and Sarah didn’t want to be at the centre of it, he got it.“Well you better not be late in the morning or I might have to discipline you.” laughed Pete.“Well in that case, I’m going to make sure I’m at least ten minutes late.” she said as she left him, throwing a mischievous look over her should
The wolf that one hears is worsethan the orc that one fears.J.R.R. Tolkien.By the time Hugh had bought the wine, the police were speeding towards the industrial estate. The caller hadn’t been specific about which building the shots had come from so it took another couple of hours to find the bodies. The horrific scene they discovered had made even experienced police officers retreat outside, some of them were left retching as they gasped for air. Paramedics went in to check for signs of life but not one officer who had witnessed that scene had any hope of either of the men being alive, so the shock was palpable when a paramedic dashed out of the building, grabbed a stretcher out of the ambulance and screamed the officers to help her to carry it up the steps.Unbelievably one of the victims was clinging to life, his pulse was weak but it was there. The paramedics worked on him for a long time trying to stem the bleeding, they hooked him up to fluids and gave him a blood transfusion
I was a wolf, and she my moon. Anon. Hugh drove Annie to their new house as the builders had finished the week before. Speeding down the country lanes Annie could hardly contain her excitement, they had been staying at Hugh’s house and he hadn’t let her see the new house for a few weeks as the finishing touches were being completed. Her furniture was arriving that afternoon and today would be the first time she would see it with all the carpets down and the drapes hung. Once they arrived she walked around the house in amazement. It had been a building site the last time she had been there, now all the dirt and dust was gone and everything was bright and cheerful. Charles appeared from the kitchen with two glasses of champagne on a tray. “Welcome home Delta Crozier and Miss. Lovell.” he said, handing them each a glass. Annie sipped her champagne as she wandered into the kitchen, it looked amazing in there. The units were in keeping with the age of the house but had every appliance
