The worst part for Steve was the waiting. He knew that he was going to risk his life for what was coming. He could not wait for night fall to come.Until then, he kept himself busy with Alpha duties. Although he was curious as to why anyone would want him dead after what he was doing for the sake of the pack.Alexander had ruled the pack for years without challenge and he had destroyed a lot of families and businesses. Steve had made sure that Sterling Creek was economically stable.It had been a very difficult task but he and his trusted Beta, Marcus had pulled the the pack from near poverty to a stable Income territory.Since Sterling Creek was nested among large mountains with running rivers and a large forest of trees, it had helped the town with growing their own food and also exporting of quality woods from the forest."Come with me," He told Emma. "I am going to the administration office to check on the surviving council elders.""And also to talk business, I want to see how m

Steve was learning a lot of things from Emma the more time he spent with her. The healer was showing him another part of life that he had always ignored.He was still reeling from when Emma told him about his father. It scared him to known that his father's spirit was still around. It made him feel uneasy that his past would forever hang around him.He and Emma were in the kitchen and on the phone with her mother on a video call."What is a revenger?" Steve asked Emma's mother."They control the spirits of the dead," Priscilla answered."So, what of necromancers?" Steve inquired."Those ones actually raise dead bodies by forcing their souls back their corpses, and they differ from revengers," Priscilla answered."So, Necromancers control the bodies and Revengers control the spirits," Steve stated."Correct," Priscilla said. "However, you must know that revengers do not just use any spirit."Steve frowned. He could feel himself not liking the next body of information."I hate magic,"

"The men are not going to be happy with cleaning up this mess, Alpha Kane," Marcus said as he covered his nose.Everywhere smelt repulsive due to the exploded entrails scattered around. Steve was just glad that the virus was ineffective and harmless in his pack.As of now, Emma was the most valuable asset he had on his side and he was not letting her go anywhere anytime soon."Well, they should be happy that we are not invaded by zombie werewolves, and that everyone is safe." Steve said in a dismissive manner. The smell was bad but he was not bothered by it."Do you think Sophia will send more of those things?" Emma asked."I do not think so but that does not mean we should not make our move," Steve replied. "What is the dragon up to?" He asked."Lady Long had been sleeping for quite sometimes now," Marcus reported. "It is quite surprising.""I would have been more surprised if she did not sleep," Emma said."Why do you think so?" Steve asked with genuine curiosity."Long is a magical

"you are not going to invite me him?" Sophia asked with a cold smile."Why the fuck are you here?" Steve demanded in a low voice."At least offer me a drink," Sophia replied. "We used to be friends, Steve.""Sophia, do not underestimate my patience. The only reason I have not reached into your chest to pull out your fucking heart is because you are the only person alive that know where Mason is. Do not tempt me." Steve said with a growl.Sophia's smile slowly disappeared and a her cold natural expression took over."You are not among friends, Sophia," Steve said.Emma silently watched from some feet away. Even from where she stood, she could feel Steve's rage."State your reasons for being here or get back in your car and drive back to wherever you came from," Steve said."So, it is true," Sophia said as she looked around her. "You somehow managed to to keep your pack safe from the Virus.""I care about my people, I can not say the same a good you," Steve replied.Sophia did not bothe

Emma saw no reason to keep asking questions from the dead because she knew the answers she wanted did not lie with them.She thanked them and turned away from them with only to see the confused expression written on Steve and his Beta's face."What is it?" She asked them."We did not understand the language you were speaking," Steve said."I was speaking English," Emma replied with a puzzled expression.Steve and Marcus looked at each other before looking back at Emma. "What we heard was not English, Emma, you were speaking a language that we had never heard before." Steve pressed.Emma wanted to argue but then she realized that Steve was right. In her ears, what she saying to the spirits sounded like English but what she was talking with was the language of the Dead.It was also another strange gift from her father's side of her weird family."I totally forgot that the dead do not speak the same language as the living," Emma mused thoughtfully. "I hope it was not to unsettling for y

Steve had no desire to visit the Sterling Creek cemetery. It was the last place he had ever thought he was going to visit.The Council Elders all took protection from Emma and reluctantly thanked her. Emma understood that they still saw her as an outsider."Do not take it off under any circumstances," She warned."How long would it keep them away?" The woman asked."As long as it is with you," Emma said."I think that you should all prepare for a funeral," Steve said. "Losing two council elders in one day is very informative.""And it will be even more difficult to elect new ones because Hawke and Minerva were almost irreplaceable," The Council woman lamented sadly.Steve was not really bothered by the whole political bullshit with the Council. His new priority was finding who was summoning ghost werewolves to kill him.He knew that he was going die one day but going by the hands of the dead was not the way that he wanted to go.Together with Emma and Marcus, Steve drove to the perman
The Healer's Bond 150. OBSCURED. III.
"The same thing!" Marcus was angry as he spoke. "No DNA samples on the wounds."Someone was killing off the council elders and they needed to stopped. Steve had sent some of his best werewolves to the houses of the remaining Council Elders.He had heaved a sigh of relief when report had been sent back that they were still alive.When the autopsy results came back, it had revealed that Minerva had died few minutes after Hawke. These killers were hard at work."That means I was the first target but they had trouble finishing the job so they moved on to their next ones." Steve said.He was in the morgue with Emma and Marcus talking to the medical examiner about the cause of death of the deceased Council Elder."This is something I have not seen before," The M.E mused as looked down at the body. "Real wounds but no biological imprint.""Thank you for your time," Steve said to the medical examiner and turned to the door."What do we do Alpha Kane?" Marcus asked. "News travel very fast here

By the time the sun rose up, word had spread that Hawke had died in his cabin. The pack wanted to know how he had died but Steve had bade the Delta squad to keep it a secret.The pack was just record from a virus and there was chaos outside of Steering Creek. The news from the outside was getting worse as the days went by.Steve did not want to induce panic into the pack again.The autopsy results came back and Marcus was the most puzzled."Undetermined," The Beta said in disbelief. "There were claw marks on his body, clearly a werewolf did this!""Yeah, but there was no DNA of the marks that matched any living werewolves." Steve said."What about the other council elders?" Emma asked. "I felt a very dark magic from one of them when we talked. She seemed very angry when she spoke of you.""We should pay her a visit," Marcus said. However, his head moved sideways as if he was listening to a distant sound. He was having a mind link discussion with another werewolf."The guns have arriv

Emma meant it has a means of protection. Steve saw it has a gift. Emma had poured a a mixture of mountain ash and black salt into a small silver pendant and made it into a necklace for the Sterling Creek Alpha."It will stop the ghosts from getting close but they will still linger around you," Emma told him. Steve wore it around his neck and felt a small weight on his shoulders. "It feels a bit heavy," He said in a mild surprise. "It is a powerful spice, Steve and the energy it carries is what is weighing you down," Emma told him. "But it will keep you safe nonetheless.""So it is safe to go out now?" Steve asked. "Where do you want go?" Emma asked, confused. It was dark outside and daylight was still hours away.Steve closed his eyes and linked his mind with Marcus. As the Alpha of his pack, he had the ability to link his mind with any werewolf he chose. Besides, it was better than phone calls."What have you found?" Steve asked Marcus through his mind."It is like they do not eve
