I entered my cabin and smiled happily. The inside was just as I remembered leaving it. I told Claire that she could lay Amanda down on the bed upstairs and she carried the little child up the stairs as I headed out to my back porch. I was glancing at everything that had been updated as Griffin came to my side."Hope everything is alright with you. I used my pack workers because they are great and work quickly," he mumbled softly. I rose on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek to thank him and felt an electrical shock on my lip. I rubbed at it and apologized for shocking him, certain it was due to me shuffling across the wool rug in my living room. Griffin stood there and eyed me perplexed. Enzo came and wrapped his arm around both of us and chuckled."Did I ever tell you two that I used to be a fortune teller in Romania," he said cheerfully and glanced hard at the both of us shaking our heads no at him."Well I was and I was exceptional at it, I was never wrong in what I predicted," he added.
I yawned loudly and covered my mouth when Zayn shook his head at me. He had exited the shower and was currently towel drying his large frame and hair."I need to color my hair to a darker color because I am leaving the Hunter's association and government work and don't wish to be recognized," he told me truthfully. I tilted my head as I looked up at him, curious about what he'd look like with a darker color. I assumed it would be similar to his darker eyebrows and facial scruff."You can purchase some at the pharmacy in town," I offered and he grinned at me."Why are you leaving your work," I asked candidly. He grinned devilishly and lifted his fingers to caress my chin between his two fingers. "I've got something more precious to prove myself to and my goals have changed," he said sincerely. I nodded my head lost in his odd eyes. They were a lovely green but the black irises were oddly shaped. Zayn dressed in blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt."Let me transport you back home so yo
I read the letter Claire had written for me next to the coffee pot. "She took Amanda and wants to keep the child. Enzo borrowed my car to head back to Nevada and wants to inform me that he's bringing me back, Scotty," I mumbled softly and Zayn said that we needed to go to the pharmacy today and asked about Scotty."Scotty is a chicken-loving Adlet and goofball," I explained and Zayn looked confused. He asked me if I could color his hair for him and I looked up sideways at him and told him certainly."It's almost eleven, how about I take us into town and buy lunch instead," he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. "For coloring your hair, it seems like a fair trade. Are you driving," I asked as I grabbed my truck keys and dangled them above his hand? He wrapped his hand around mine and stole the keys. He lifted them up to see the emblem."Chevy huh? I'm a Dodge Ram man myself." I rolled my eyes and told him chevy was an easier engine to work on and he actually agreed. We headed to my tru
I was trying to convince Aisha to tell me what she knew about Zayn and she growled menacingly in my mind. "He shouldn't be a man, he was cursed by a God to remain a wolf with his brother and father," she spat. I rolled my eyes as the truck hit another bump in the road. I hadn't said a word to Zayn after his admission of lying and simply sat next to him in the truck with my arms crossed. At least I was certain that he would keep me alive. I told Aisha to tell me and she mentioned Lycaon and that he was Zayn's father. Zeus changed them all to wolves so his becoming human again is strange. I glanced over at Zayn and studied him. "So Zeus is real," I asked suddenly and his green eyes looked sideways at me while he grinned awkwardly."Ask your wolf why the moon goddess made us mates," he suggested and Aisha whined, saying it was to please Zeus so he wouldn't interfere. I shook my head and glanced out of the window. My scientific brain is not ready to wrap itself around the added knowledg
"Take me to my cell please," I mumbled sourly and he dragged me down a long row. I was put into the very end cell with an occupied cell next to it. Zayn slammed the door and told me sorry for everything that had happened. I shook my head and told him I was sorry for believing that he was different. He exhaled harshly and turned to leave me. I wiped the stray tear that fell down my cheek as I watched him fade down the row. "Does that God know that you're carrying his pup," an older woman asked me in the next door cell. I shrugged and went to lay on the cement pad to forget about my problems until the old lady said my head was shining gold. I lifted my fingers to my head and felt the stickiness. I must have cut it when I hit it in the van. Aisha told me she was working on it but the silver bullets took a lot out of her. I growled bitterly in annoyance and looked for something to clean it up with. I was surprised by the old woman passing me a handkerchief. Aisha perked up in my mind sh
"My daughter, Claire can be your Gamma," Enzo said quietly and I smiled. I told him that'd be awesome if she wanted but we didn't have a name for our imaginary pack. I couldn't call it the golden blood pack because not all the cryptids carried the rare blood. I'd have to sit and think about it, hopefully with the help of others. Enzo had left and came back an hour later with a full plate of pasta and told me I needed to eat a lot for the little wolf inside of me. Enzo was such a Godsend. He also told me he'd be working closely with Jordan due to his extensive knowledge on blood. I laughed softly as I ate quickly. "I don't have financial backing like Griffin has. How do the packs get their funding?" Enzo grinned slightly at my out of the blue question."All the members contribute to the pack is my understanding. Besides dear, your Beta is over three hundred and I invested my money well and own lots or territory for us all to frolic upon," he replied happily. I chuckled softly and fini
Circe couldn't tell me directly about what my future held but she did tell me I was going to have a strong blonde-haired son."Am I out of this place?" Circe smiled and told me that I was but I wasn't happy. "You need your mate. Tough decisions will have to be made which could ruin your friendship with someone special to you. That's all I've got, dear," she said softly and laid down. I frowned slightly and heard the door opening."They're here for you." I heard from Circe's cell. Great, I thought as a group of unknown medical personnel headed towards my cell."Take her to the showers and get her cleaned up," one woman ordered. I eyed her oddly and sensed something different about the woman. My cell was unlocked and another female soldier took me by my still cuffed arms with her to the communal showers. "Don't run when I unlock your hands. Enzo's plan is being postponed until he gets better since he is needed in order for it to work," she told me point-blank. I nodded and asked her wh
I sat in the dark room listening to all the others snoring, farting, and making odd sleeping sounds. It was early morning around twoish. I could see there was a full moon tonight by the multiple skylights in the ceiling. I was apprehensive about leaving with Enzo because a feeling in my gut was warning me not to. Aisha told me it was the vampire or being a blood factory for the government. "Pretty bleak options," I said quietly and heard the metal door being opened slowly. I looked down but couldn't see anyone yet. Making my way across the cell I stood near the bars glancing down the row. I was surprised by Zayn's face immediately appearing before mine and squeaked as I jumped back. "I'm getting you out if here, we're mates marked and mated, that bitch Claire told me the complete truth before she killed herself," he growled softly and I asked him how she managed to decapitate herself and he explained that there are ways and her fake father was told this. "What do you mean fake?" Zay
