Resurrection Part Sixty-Six
Dave had finished dressing and thought he heard something move in the woods. He turned around.“Hi Dave,” James said, and swung the baseball bat as hard as he could. He cracked Dave’s skull and rendered him unconscious. James looked down at Dave and spat at him.He’d been watching Dave ever since leaving Kiran to manage the furniture removal for Adara’s resurrection ceremony. For once, Kiran hadn’t questioned him when he said he needed some time alone.He’d waited in the dark driveway between two houses across the street from their house and watched. He followed Dave to the bar and waited patiently. He’d followed Dave to the hospital and knew he was going to scout the Sinclair house. He had circled the hospital to the other side of the helipad and moved quietly toward Dave.He’d missed Dave by minutes, probably just seconds. He’d found Dave’s clothes between the roots of the old tree. James found a spot where he would be comfortable but would still be able to see Dave when he returned

“The baseball bat was a nice touch kid,” Dave said and cocked his head to one side to emphasize where James had hit him. “You know, I could show you a few tricks for your girlfriend.” Dave’s manic laugh had James seeing red.His anger boiled over and he took Dave’s head and smashed it into the bars of the cell. He stopped when he realized that Dave had passed out again, the blood gushing from his mouth and nose.He took Dave and placed him on the board and secured his hands tightly with the shackles. He couldn’t go anywhere now; he had yet to place the collar around his neck. He needed time to think. When he had started following Dave, all he could think of was Shoran’s screams and his baby, now dead, as Dave pressed her down on that table.Those memories had fueled his rage and anger, and he was determined to strike back. He hadn’t thought beyond the fact of what he would actually do when he had Dave. He had just focused on getting Dave alone.The bloodlust boiling in his veins had b

Malachi and I stopped in front of the den. I had woken Malachi after James’ phone call. We walked inside the den and went down to the basement. James had only said that he needed help at the den and that it was urgent.“Damn it!” Malachi said as he walked into the cordoned off area of the basement and saw Dave’s body on the rack, his intestines lying on the floor beneath him. James was shielding Shoran from Dave’s body with his own.“James…” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. “What the hell happened here?” Malachi asked angrily. He took in the scene in front of him. The knife rolls were still open on the steel bed, the pooling blood beneath the rack and the blood on the floor of the cell all pointed to torture.“I killed him,” Shoran said to Malachi.Malachi turned toward her, shocked. “You killed him?” Shoran nodded and Malachi shook his head. “Upstairs, all of you.”We obeyed instantly and hurried up the stairs to the informal meeting area of the den. James and Shoran had a lot

“We’ll need bricks or rocks to weigh the bags down,” Malachi said.I gathered a few of the biggest stones I could find and placed them in the bags. Malachi seemed so calm and while my heart was thudding against my ribs, I still felt like I was composed.“Don’t think about it too much,” Malachi said as he opened a tap on the outside of the den and washed his hands.“I’m trying not to, but the fact that Shoran did this…it just kind of amazes me that she’s handling it so well.”Malachi smiled as I washed my hands as well and leaned against the den’s wall. “Shoran’s stronger than people give her credit for. The fact that she came back and exacted her revenge tells me that she’ll be okay. What happened to her won’t rule her life and she won’t wallow in misery forever. It’s easy to keep lying when the odds are against you, but she won’t.”“I saw it in her eyes tonight. She won’t give up and that just makes me respect her more, but this is going to get messy, Dad. Ramos won’t stay quiet abou
Resurrection Part Seventy
Ramos and Juniper slept late the following morning. The house was quiet, and Ramos wondered if Dave was still asleep. He woke Juniper up and she went downstairs to make coffee.Ramos took his time showering and shaving. He felt rested and this morning they would sit around the table and come up with the perfect plan to get Adara to come to them. After today, all their problems would be solved. He and Juniper would live the life they had always deserved.Dave’s bedroom door was still closed when he passed it in the hallway. He whistled softly as he went downstairs. He found Juniper in front of the stove, frying eggs and bacon. He hugged her from behind and she laughed as she pushed him away.He had to admit though, life was so much better with Adara not in it. Juniper was more caring; she did things in the house and the sex was the best it had been in years. Ramos sat down at the table in the kitchen and gulped down his coffee.“Have you seen Dave yet?” He asked Juniper.She shook her
Resurrection Part Seventy-One
The sun crept through the window and I woke up feeling tired. I turned and looked at the empty space in my bed. The night Adara had gotten into bed with me, was the only night she had done so. Although it had only happened that one time, I missed it.I looked at my watch and realized I had to get up and get to the hotel. I hurriedly showered and got dressed. I took the stairs two at a time and found everyone in the kitchen.“Morning!” I said and rushed out of the door and into my Jeep. I drove to the hotel and asked Lina for a cup of coffee. I had been at the hotel more often and the staff was getting more used to my presence there.I saw this as work and dressed accordingly. I wore neat slacks, a buttoned shirt and dress shoes, but I drew the line at wearing a tie. The first of the pack members would start to arrive soon and I wanted to welcome each one personally, especially as their future Alpha.For ceremonial purposes, Malachi always invited the male members to stay in the VIP su
Resurrection Part Seventy-Two
Adara didn’t have to wait long for Karani and soon they left the house and drove to Sterling. Adara sang along to the radio softly and Karani felt immensely proud of how far she’d come. She was going to be a great wolf. She couldn’t wait to find out what Adara’s powers were. She wanted to help her harness them, use them for good and help her perfect it.“Was Sarah Kiran’s girlfriend?” Adara asked out of the blue.“How do you know about Sarah?” Karani asked, shocked to hear the name again. So many things had happened that it felt like such a long time ago.“We drove past her funeral the day we moved here,” Adara answered.“Why do you think she was Kiran’s girlfriend?” Karani asked carefully.“Those were the rumors at school, that she killed herself because he dumped her,” Adara answered.“What?” Karani exclaimed. Kiran had never said a word about it.“Was she a wolf too?” Adara asked. Karani knew that she would have to tell Adara the truth about Sarah.“Sarah was human. Kiran should ha
Resurrection Part Seventy-Three
They drove in silence for about ten minutes before Karani cleared her throat and glanced at Adara. “Maybe I can explain it a bit better. If you see it from our point of view, maybe you will understand it better.”Adara sat up straighter and turned to look at Karani. She always seemed so in control of everything. Nothing seemed daunting when Karani was there, everything felt easy and peaceful.“The very first time I saw you, it was awful. You were so pale and thin and you had these bluish circles under your eyes that I thought was malnutrition. My heart broke just looking at you, sitting there in my kitchen and trying to lie your way out of our house.”Adara blushed with shame as she thought back to how she had looked in those days and thought herself invisible. She had honestly believed that she looked presentable. She knew better now.“That is why Kiran was so rude to you at first. Your scent was a mixture of human but not quite, and something odd, something he couldn’t place, but hi
