I ran, O I ran, but they grey wolf ran faster

O mother, I cry in the air at thy door.

Cry shoo! now cry shoo! but his fangs were so cruel,

Thy son (save his hatchet) thou’lt never see more.

Walter De La Mare.

It took doctors days to work out what had happened to Edward Addison. At first it was assumed he was catatonic because had been affected by the drugs in the factory but a toxicology screen came back negative, he was also negative for alcohol and every other intoxicant or poison the doctors could think of. It was only when the nurses on the ward were turning him over to wash his hair that the minute puncture wound in his hair at the base of his skull was discovered. A brain scan revealed that his brain was functioning normally but his spinal cord had been severed by a long thin implement paralysing him and nothing could be done to repair it. He spent a couple of months in hospital but after that he had to be moved to a nursing home.

  • Reiver   Epilogue

    Duncan had Jen were working on their house when they received mind link from Alpha Solomon. Jen almost burst into tears when she heard that she and Duncan could stay together and keep their rank, Duncan wrapped her in his arms and held her tight, Jen was a couple of weeks pregnant with their first child and the relief that they still had a place in the pack washed over them both. Everything was going to be fine, Duncan could just feel it, he got to stay with the Kelpies and Jen would still be a guard, it was more than they could have hoped for. They had worked really hard and their house was now clear of rubble, Jen had made a start on the garden as she wanted to grow as much of their own food as she could and although they still had a long list of jobs to do, he knew with the help of the Templar community, they would get it liveable by the time the pup came. “Thank you.” he tried to mind link Brother Andrew but he got no answer, he chuckled to himself, he gue

    An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship. Spanish proverb. “Sister?” Pete stopped mid swing and stared at the man, Rufus pushed forward and got a good look at him too. He did look a lot like Sarah, his scent was familiar as well, like Sarah’s but not as musky, Rufus leant forward and sniffed the man again. “I think he speaks the truth.” growled Rufus. “Same eyes as mate, smells like mate.” The man started gasping for breath as Pete was still squeezing his neck. Oh my Goddess, Sarah has a brother. The man started to struggle again, pulling at Pete’s hand on his throat. “Put him down, can’t breathe.” Rufus noted. “Shit, shit sorry.” said Pete hastily putting the man down and straightening his clothes. “Why have you been watching the house, why not come to the door?” Before he could answer three vehicles screeched down the stre

    Truth will rise against falsehoodas oil above water.Miguel de Cervantes.Sarah watched in disbelief as Beta Saul launched himself over the table, he grabbed Kerpen’s gun hand as he flattened him to the floor in a tangle of chairs and limbs. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion, Sarah turned her head saw Hugh grab Annie and shield her body with his and she briefly saw Beta Johnstone leap across the table in Baden’s direction. There were screams and growls and the sound of the cracking of bones as someone shifted before she was knocked backwards off her feet and flattened to the floor. The fall knocked the wind out of her and she bashed the back of her head so hard she could see lights in front of her eyes. She heard Annie shouting to the wolves not to kill anyone and then as quickly as it started all the noise stopped, there was nothing but the sound of the Home Secretary shouting into his phone and the crash o

    No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected. Julius Caesar. Alpha Armstrong was good to his word. Stuart drove them to an airfield deep in Reiver territory where they were bundled aboard his private plane and flown back to Edinburgh in relative comfort. “I think you’re the only human to have ever stepped foot on Reiver territory.” mused Pete as he they disembarked the plane. “And you’re the only wolf who has stepped on Reiver territory that has a human as mate I bet.” “Yeah probably.” “Let’s hope it’s a learning experience for Alpha Armstrong.” smiled Brother Andrew as they walked towards the airport building. Much to their surprise, Camron was waiting for them as they exited the building. “Alpha Armstrong had asked me to deliver you to Forensics Scotland in one piece, Brother Andrew, I can drop you at Rosslyn afterwards if that’s ok with y

    Threats alone are the weapons of the threatened man. Leonardo Da Vinci The meeting broke up and the wolves watched as the Magdalene were marched out of the door. The Home Secretary approached them looking embarrassed. “I apologise unreservedly for their rudeness, I think they were embarrassed that they’ve just been schooled in their own religion.” he said with a weak smile. The wolves just nodded in agreement and he excused himself and caught up with Sarah as she made her way back along the corridor. “Miss Cole, I just want to thank you for keeping a cool head in there. I’m always worried that one day, one of these Parleys is going to end up in a massacre.” Sarah stopped walking as she didn’t want Sillicoe seeing Pete. “Why? From what I just witnessed it’s not the wolves you need to worry about, it’s the humans, they are the one throwing threats around. The wolves don’t seem that different to us if you

    Most people do not listen with the intention to understand. Stephen R Covey. Pete waited to hear from the Home Secretary about the Parley. When the phone call finally came he feigned ignorance, careful he didn’t let them know he already knew. He informed Home Secretary Sillicoe that he was away at a conference that day but the Miss Cole would be in charge and much to his relief, Sillicoe had accepted Sarah’s authority without question, now all they had to do was convince the Magdalene to do the same. Annie and Hugh had raced back Edinburgh as soon as they could and Annie had been frantically adding names to the family tree ever since she had arrived but there was so much to do to get it ready in time. She had worked on it for twenty four hours solid but she was still panicking as they only had two days left and it was still nowhere near finished. Hugh read out the names and checked the dates while Annie wrote them in their p
