VANESSA DAVIS

Colon waited until the sun rose before ushering me to come to Darcy’s lab so we could share what we discovered. I wasn’t able to wake up clearly, but after a shower and breakfast, I was able to muster some energy to go speak with Darcy at her.... botanical garden.

Darcy was not happy to see me.

“What is she doing here? The last time she was here she asked if I bought my degree at the dollar store.”

Colton turned to me, his eyes flashing for a second before he turned away. I shrugged, I’m not sorry. She was being a complete bitch the last time I was here. She wouldn’t listen to me at all. So I said what I said. Was it rude? Who the fuck knows?

“I don’t want to speak to her.”

“She was right, Darcy.”

the woman froze, and I peaked over Colton’s muscular body to wiggle my eyebrows at her.

“What? But I-”

“She ran an experiment using two fishes. The one in the contaminated water died. Within two days. There’s something in the water that’s killing the animals

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★After the discussion with Darcy, I met up with Colton back at his house. It was a long hot walk there. I’m grateful he’ll be driving me into town rather than me having to cycle there. Which I can’t do because I broke my bike. He did not look happy. I’m not surprised, he seems to be dealing with pressure poorly. I’m sure this is the first time he’s had a threat to his farm that he couldn’t see. I can’t imagine dealing with that. I checked my phone to confirm if the woman, Margaret’s sister had responded to my message.And voila! Yes, she has. I shoved the phone back into my pocket. “You good, cowboy?”He snapped from his thoughts. His eyes darkened for a second. “No, I’m not good. But there’s nothing I can do about it.”I fought against my instincts which said to just ignore the sadness in his eyes, the slump in his shoulder and just go meet with Miss Holloway. Those journalistic instincts wanted me to put this story first. After all, it was my source o

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 When she started stripping, I was struck. Just staring at her. My eyes couldn’t leave her body, the fullness of her, the desire it unlocked within me. My heart was pounding. Racing faster than it has ever before her. Everything I feel right now has not happened. I had my face in high school when I gave in to the lures of meaningless sex up until I got my first girlfriend. That first relationship, coupled with watching how my parents expressed their love, made me wish for something like that. So I composed myself. For years, I went by having zero problems. Only for me to run into the greatest temptation. In the form of a city girl with a distaste for small towns. Once Vanessa was completely nude, she dove into the water while I stood there following her outline in the lake. She popped her head back up, swimming backward. I spotted her gorgeous tail. Sometimes I forget how many of us are on the planet. Most are werewolves and vampires, and coming close are wit

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★We dressed quickly after setting the rules, barely able to keep our hands off each other. Every glance, every brush of skin, felt like a promise neither of us could wait to keep.We set rules, so we’re good. And I’m not turning down sex.By the time we reached the house, the tension between us was unbearable—thick enough to smother every rational thought.The moment we crossed through the door, Colton yanked me into his body, stealing my breath before I had a chance to exhale.His lips crashed against mine, a devastating collision of heat and hunger, raw and desperate. He didn’t hesitate, didn’t waste time easing into it. He took. Claimed. Branded. Such fire, isn’t he supposed to be a lover boy?My back slammed against the door, a startled gasp slipping from me, but he swallowed it, turning it into something deeper, something I felt in every nerve ending.His hands were everywhere at once, gripping my hips, sliding up my spine, threading into my hair.

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The drive into town was suffocatingly quiet. The kind of silence that creeps under your skin, making every small movement feel louder than it is. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything, and Colton seemed content to let the stillness settle between us like an old, worn blanket.When he pulled onto the familiar street, I felt my stomach tighten. The houses looked the same, yet they carried the weight of too many memories. He shifted in his seat, flicking his hat up with a casual ease, though I caught the way his fingers hesitated. He’d added sunglasses since the last time I saw him, and somehow, they made him even more infuriatingly attractive.What is wrong with me? It was one kiss. The animal part of me seems far too interested all of a sudden. He finally spoke, his voice low and steady. “This is the same spot I dropped you off a few days ago. Why are you here again?”His question was reasonable. Hell, I had asked myself the same thing more than once on

I offered her a smile. “Start by introducing yourself.”“And this will go public?” she glanced at the phone, then at me. “Yes, of course. You might not know me, or trust me-”“Damn right.”“- but my blog has alot of followers, and so does my social media accounts, and i work for a huge company in manhattan. I can get this on national news. Trust me. I just need to know what I’m working with. There’s a man at a graveyard who-”The woman perked up. “You met him? And he approves of you? Okay then. Let’s do this. You better be ready for what I’m about to say.”I sighed, picked up my phone, ended this recording so i could start a new one."This is Vanessa Davis for The Metropolitan Muse. I’m here in Dusty Creek, trying to expose the man responsible for the deaths of many and the slow, brutal destruction of this town. Today, I have with me the sister of one of th

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 Sheriff Bastillo is a piece of shit.I cannot stress that enough.If dirt could crawl into a uniform and pretend to be a man, it would be him.I leaned back in the creaking chair, arms folded, my face set in stone as he rattled on about how this town was going to shit—and how, apparently, it was all my fault.Typical.He leaned forward, fingers steepled, eyes narrow and gleaming with fake authority. “You people don’t understand how things work. You’re all just looking for a reason to stir up trouble.”I clenched my jaw so tight my teeth ached. “Poisoned water isn’t a conspiracy, Bastillo. It’s killing people.”He rolled his eyes like I had just told him ghosts were haunting the town well.“Oh, please,” he scoffed. “Next, you’re going to tell me the trees are whispering secrets in the wind.” He laughed, and I could feel it in my bones—the disgust simmering, threatening to boil over.“You think this is funny?” I asked, my voice low. Too low. The kind of quiet tha

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I hadn’t expected colton to ask me out. It just seemed like a non possibility. It’s not a date, at least not to me. It’s a prequel before we return to his place and fuck like senseless people. Just the way i like it.I was taken to a nice sweet spot in Dusty Creek. Like super nice. Not a fancy resturant type of nice. A hometown type of nice. Where everyone knows everyone.May i just say that might just be the motto for this town?“You’re sure this is the right place to have dinner?” i confirmed with him as we approached the area.“Yeah, but not like a date type of dinner.” i had just made the same conclusive statement in my mind, and yet here i was feeling slight disappointed that he also felt the need to state that out loud.So a sweet spot with a homey feeling.Not a date—Colton made that clear. Just a way of thanking me. And also, a way to show me something decent in a town I had already decided I wasn’t too fond of.Still, as I stepped inside the barb

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The moment I took my last bite, the music changed. Something a little faster, a little livelier, and I noticed a group of women clearing the tables near the center of the restaurant to make space.I was about to ask what was happening when a woman about my age, with all sun-kissed skin, and bright eyes, slid up to our booth with a knowing grin. “You dance, city girl?”I blinked. “Not… really.” I only dance when I’m drunk, and it’s definitely not to country music. It has heart and soul. My type of music“She does,” Colton answered before I could stop him, the smirk on his face damn near criminal. “She just doesn’t know it yet.”The woman—Sarah, I caught from the name tag on her shirt—laughed and held out a hand. “Come on, honey. You can’t come to a place like this and not dance at least once.”I glanced at Colton, expecting him to bail me out since the last time I was dancing he was quick to try to get me back home, but the bastard just leaned back in the

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★We rode the horse all the way to our next destination after leaving the diner, the sky still dipped in twilight shades of purple and gold, dust kicking up behind us as we passed a few shuttered storefronts and the odd resident walking their dog or heading home. It was peaceful, the kind of calm that settled into your bones if you let it.Colton reined the horse in front of the mechanic’s shop—a squat, sun-bleached building with a rusted sign that just said Steve’s Auto. The kind of place that didn’t need Yelp reviews to survive, just old men with busted pickups and nowhere else to go. I thought it was thriving earlier, Colton had brought me here, but things must have changed.Steve himself stepped out as we pulled up, wiping his hands on a rag that had long given up the fight to stay clean. “Thought I heard hooves,” he said, giving a nod to Colton. “She yours?”“The horse or the woman?” Colton asked with a smirk.Steve snorted. “Whichever’s gonna sass me

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I don’t know what I expected when Colton said we were going somewhere not on the map, but it sure as hell wasn’t a water tower. Not one with a view that made the whole damn world feel like it was holding its breath.The town looked like a miniature version of itself from up here—soft, sun-drenched, unreal. Like someone had pressed pause and we were sitting above time itself. I leaned back against the blanket he laid out, stretched my legs out, and let the warmth of the sun and his body beside mine lull me into a kind of weightless joy.God, when was the last time I felt like this?Carefree. Safe. Wanted.Colton was lying next to me, one arm propped under his head, the other draped across his stomach. His shirt had ridden up a little, exposing a sliver of sun-kissed skin, and I had to force myself not to stare too long. Or touch. Or climb on top of him right then and there.Which was ridiculous, because we were literally on top of a damn water tower.“I ca

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 After a good breakfast and wrestling a cup of caffeine from Vanessa, I grabbed the keys to one of my Jeeps, tossing them once in the air and catching them with a grin.“C’mon,” I said to Vanessa, watching her follow with that curious tilt of her head I’d grown addicted to. “Thought we’d take a little ride into town.”“I didn’t even know you had a Jeep,” she said as we walked down the path to where the whole family keeps their cars.“I’ve got a few things tucked away,” I said with a shrug. “Come on, I’ll show you.”We rounded the back of a big building, where a few of our vehicles were kept under tarps or shade roofs. Trucks, bikes, the old Jeep I’d learned to drive in for the first time. A bunch of other really clean and expensive-looking cars. I gestured at the line-up. “Told you.”She gave me a little side-eye. “Are you secretly a car fanatic?”I laughed. “Yeah, but that’s not the only reason we have alot of cars. I just grew up in a family where fixing thing

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I woke up warm.Not just physically—though that was part of it, tucked into the soft weight of Colton’s arms, his chest rising and falling behind me like the tide—but something else, too. Safe. Anchored.For a second, I didn’t move. I just blinked slowly at the soft light filtering through the curtains, breathing in the scent of soap, pine, and something distinctly his. Then I tilted my head back slightly and looked up.He was still asleep.His face was peaceful in a way I rarely got to see. No furrowed brow. No guarded jaw. Just Colton, unburdened. His mouth twitched a little, like he was dreaming about something mildly annoying or mildly funny—it was hard to tell with him.I laughed under my breath. Quiet and breathy.What a strange life.I used to wake up to sirens and honking cabs. Now I was waking up in a quiet room on a ranch, wrapped up in a man whose idea of rest was plowing half a field before breakfast.And yet… this didn’t feel strange at all.

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 We couldn’t keep them here, that was a thought i couldn’t shake from the moment i showed up here. I stood in the barn, arms crossed, watching the twins—Fabian and Derico, or whatever they called themselves—slumped against the wooden post, weak and sullen but still dangerous. Ross had tied them good, and Abel was pacing like he wanted an excuse to break something. I think my father wants to hit someone. I’d let him, but I can’t risk him accidentally killing them. We need them.Vanessa’s concoction was still doing its work. She hadn’t lied—whatever she’d made, it drained the strength right out of their bones and soul as well. Enough of it could ruin a shifter’s ability to ever turn again. I’d seen that look in their eyes now. They understood what was at stake. She did say it was like wolfsbane. I should send a general message to everyone in the pack to wash the concoction off their skin. “We should move them,” I said finally, turning to face my father. “Take ’

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I shut the lid of my laptop and stared at it for a long second. The screen was black, but I could still see the echo of everything inside it—files, photos, confessions that might change the course of this pack’s future. I backed it up to several places. The first backup was easier than the others after it. Ugh, I’m actually super tired. I feel like crashing but i have one more thing to do. I gotta make that call I’ve been avoiding.My thumb hovered over my phone before I picked it up and scrolled to a number I’d been avoiding for days.Maya (Editor-in-Chief)The moment it started ringing, I regretted it. But there was no turning back now.She picked up before the third ring.“Jesus Christ, Vanessa. You’re alive. I’ve been calling you, emailing you, and texting you. You practically live on your phone, so why haven’t you been answering?”Her voice was sharp, loud, clipped. Familiar. And also tired. Everyone’s got shit that they’re dealing with.“I’m sorry,

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I checked on my phone and the recording. Thank fuck for the apps i use. That long confession would have needed to be divided into two parts, or more. I turned to Ross and Abel.“I’ll go get Colton, he can help you guys with this.” I said, slipping the last of the vials into the worn canvas of my bag.“You want us to just watch them while you’re gone?” “Yeah, just think of them as wild, untamed STDs. You don’t have it, but you gotta watch out for it.”Abel gave a curt nod, jaw set and eyes still on the twins, who were slumped and breathing heavily against their restraints. Ross, on the other hand, let out a quiet little hum — not disapproving, not questioning. Just… amused.“STDs?”I glanced at him briefly, and sure enough, he was fighting the corner of a smile.“Yeah.”His lips pressed together, and he took in several breaths to calm himself. “You do that,” he said, like he was letting me walk off with some private joke I’d never understand. “Don’t be to

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I set my vials down carefully on a dusty old table by the door, arranging them neatly, almost deliberately slow.Fabian and Derico — the Fa-derico twins — were chained and fidgeting against the beams, their faces tight with pain and hatred.Good.Let them stew.I turned to Abel and Ross, keeping my voice even, business-like.“We’re going to do this properly,” I said. “I’m going to need to take some photos and videos.” I glanced at Ross. “If they confess anything — especially anything about a woman named Alina — we’re going to need proof.”Ross raised an eyebrow, but nodded. Abel grunted his approval. They didn’t know that name, I’m guessing colton didn’t really tell them the name of the woman who scammed him. I’d like to punch her. Not out of jealousy though. I’m classier than that- It’s maybe partly jealousy. Still, colton is a nice guy. And girls like me and alina use nice guys. I’m not proud of those past conquest but I’m also not ashamed of it.I loo

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The field buzzed with leftover tension — the kind that clung to your skin and made every breath feel heavier.Children whimpered quietly against their mothers' legs.Men who hadn’t joined the chase and women stood frozen in place, casting nervous glances toward the trees where snarls and crashing sounds echoed in the distance.No one knew if they should stay or run.I stepped forward, heart pounding, but kept my voice soft, steady."Everyone," I called out gently, enough to draw their wary eyes to me, "please — head home. Take the little ones. The elders, too. There's nothing else you need to see. Get everyone to the safest place you can. Thank you for your time today."The pack hesitated, the weight of their fear holding them still. I noticed people squinting at the distance. They didn’t want to move, just in case there were more attackers. I softened my tone even further. "You're safe. Colton and the others have it under control. It would do them a gre
