Chapter 77: Day 31 (night)
With her feet still within the sentient side, Sinn eyed the corridor ahead of her that joined the lower living area and the mansion with even more trepidation than the new lake room that had opened up for the others.
And she knew it was for the others. There was no convincing her otherwise with how in tune the tunnels had been up until then. There was just no way it could make such a colossal error in sentient tunnel judgement and create something that brought back fears and old memories she tried to keep buried.
Sinn didn’t hate all water. It wasn’t like she had a phobia about it to the point that she froze at the sight of the ocean, a stream or even tap water. She could vaguely remember her Mom taking her swimming. Just the scent of chlorine brought back memories of her smile as she had bobbed around with water-wings and her touch keeping her stable in the warm water.
She had never really mastered the art of swimming beyond a frantic doggy paddle.

Hearing the sound of the door to the bar quietly opening and closing, Caleb looked up and glanced in the mirror that ran behind the length of the bar. He used it to get a look at the wolf he could smell even as he kept polishing the glass in his hand. New faces in Bitten were pretty commonplace, even more so lately. This one though… through all the dust, sweat and grime he could smell and see ground into his clothes and too thin body, Caleb could smell where he had come from. And one glance at his face had him doing a double take at how young and scared he looked beneath the dirt. Far too young to be wandering into a bar on his own. “Can I help you?” Daniel looked cautiously around the bar and edged nervously closer to the man that had spoken. “I…” “I’d best warn ya, I can’t serve you without some I.D.” It happened, someone pushing their luck in an effort to get some booze but it didn’t happen there often, not once people realised what
SINN Chapter 79: Day 35 (night)
Sinn knew in her heart and from experience that each fall of her feet upon the ground was just about silent to human ears, and to anything else, no matter what surface she was on. But it seemed to echo through her body like a shot as she moved through the streets. And what she was tracking down didn’t have a human level of hearing no matter what form they were in. She kept her pace to a more normal human level so she was less likely to draw attention or miss something out of the ordinary. And with every step, her senses on high alert.Looking for one lone Werewolf in a town that had a large population of them was just about impossible but it didn’t stop her from looking. She owed it to Caleb.Caleb had been attacked. He could have died. And his one thought had been about the strange Wolf that had come into his bar.He said the Wolf was from Tennessee and while the state was pretty big and was home to many small packs, there was only one that Sinn had
SINN Chapter 80: Day 35 (night)
Yoanna was pretty sure that Daechir had not considered what reaction his claims of parentage might garner from Sinn but she was personally only surprised that she left him upright and drawing breath before she turned smartly on her heel, her jaw clenched tighter than Yoanna felt should be possible, a dark storm brewing in her gleaming eyes as she walked away at a deliberately human speed so as not to appear to be running away from him or the situation.Daechir’s brow furrowed in confusion as he looked down at the sword still resting in his hand and up again at Sinn’s retreating back. Yoanna blinked too, a question on her lips as she saw the appearance of the sword actually changing in his hand.“It fits the owner,” he whispered quietly in explanation.“Well, the owner has some major daddy issues so I don’t think she’s going to be wanting anything to do with you or that sword any time soon.”“Eric!&rdqu
SINN Chapter 81: Day 35 (night)
Daechir opened his eyes and looked through the bars as he heard the tread of boots against the concrete. He had hoped somehow that it might be his daughter that would come to see him first but the steps were too heavy and the eyes that he eventually saw stepping out of the darkness to stop before the cell belonged to the imposing, yet gently spoken, male vampire that had come to his daughter's aid before.He had heard his name spoken, Marcus, and knew his standing in Bitten and amongst the vampires and humans, further afield and the only people that seemed to bear him any ill will, were those that didn’t like the good he did since he had risen to become the master vampire of Bitten.Those were the kind of people that feared what he could do directly if he found out about their actions and ind
SINN Chapter 82: Day 35 (night)
As soon as they stepped outside the library, Sinn started to question just how wise it had been to offer to escort Daechir while Ella and Marcus contacted Amanda to check on the situation in England and warn them that it was best not to trust Alston if he turned up again.Daechir had become subdued, the fight apparently leaving him after his outburst, and simply walked in the direction they pointed him. Sinn didn’t relax her guard for one moment though. She’d fought against him and knew just how strong and capable a fighter he was and she hadn’t lived as long as she had by trusting easily.“Not that way,” Sinn growled out softly, reluctantly placing a hand on Daechir’s arm before he moved any further towards the door that led back down to where the cells were. He stayed silent at her touch and just looked at her cautiously, his body barely moving as he waited.“Sinn, love, what are you doing?” Yoanna asked in quiet
SINN Chapter 83: Day 36 (day/night)
Yoanna stretched her hand out across the expanse of the bed. No matter how far she reached though she knew that she would find nothing but cold sheets but she was at that strange point of waking where she kept reaching anyway in the hopes that she would be wrong and that any moment her hand would touch upon the warmth of Sinn’s body and feel her reach for her.But it just wasn’t to be and finally, it was enough to wrench her that final step towards wakefulness and she gave up on denying it and opened her eyes.Turning over, Yoanna sat up in the bed and looked around the room as she arranged the covers around her body. The room was quiet and empty but her eyes fell upon the slither of light shining around the edge of the door to the en-suite bathroom, confirming what her ears had already picked up on.There was nothing unusual about Sinn being in the bathroom… normally. But Yoanna could tell by how cold the bed was that Sinn wasn’t simply
SINN Chapter 84: Day 36 (night)
With a terse nod in Daechir’s direction, Sinn led the way out of the library, hyperaware that Yoanna was right behind him. She didn’t trust him, but time was of the essence and if he was willing to give her something that could help Dan’s pack, Sinn was willing to bend a little. From his reaction to the flurry of petals, she had already guessed that whatever he had planned involved the tunnel beneath them but, she just couldn’t work out how. She followed him though, ignoring all the curious stares as he led the way down and through where most of the vampire’s still preferred to spend the daytime until they were standing where the main part of it began. He eyed her curiously as they came to a halt, a look in his green eyes that screamed that he had expected something more off her before they got there. In the end, it was Yoanna that broke the silence.“What is the meaning of this, Daechir? You said there was a way to help them but you lead u
SINN Chapter 85: Day 50 (day)
Despite her best efforts, Yoanna’s body flinched every time dirt left the hand of a mourner and landed upon the dark wood of May’s casket with a thud and a trickling sound as it slid off the highly polished, sloped surface.After nearly two week of arrangements that had involved getting finicky locals to pull their panties out of their asses at the thought of handling the remains of werewolves, and far too many funerals, a part of her felt immune to the whole process but this was the part that always seemed to affect her the most and she wasn’t entirely sure why.May’s body was the last to be buried. The last service dryer than the dirt waiting to fill the grave once everyone was out of sight was over. The mourners; the few remaining from the pack as well as people from the area that had known them, were walking away. Their pace was slow and reverent at first, their bodies held stiff within their formal clothing as though they weren’t sure
