The moment I sank back into the sling, my entire body trembled with exhaustion.

It should not have been that difficult.

A healthy werewolf could have crossed the pool a hundred times without breaking a sweat. Even injured wolves usually recovered quickly once they got moving again. Yet I felt like I had just run miles through the forest in wolf form.

"That's enough for today," Lyall said firmly.

"I walked across a pool."

"You practically collapsed afterward."

"I did not collapse."

"You are sitt

  • The Heir's Child   Days Off

    "Don't you have to go back to the restaurant today?" I ask Mark as Raven makes lunch for us."No, not today. Did you forget that the restaurant is closed on Mondays?" He asks me."No, I just forgot that it is Monday." I admit ruefully.Staying home for this long has made it difficult to keep track of what day it is. I find myself settling into a routine that is making it more and more difficult for me to keep track of each day."Well, that means that I can stay all day if you want." He offers. Raven immediately shoots me a look from over his head. I know that she does not want him here so that she can work with me on witch duties, but after doing it multiple times a day for the last week, I could really use a short break to just relax. "I do not mind. We are not really doing anything except sitting around the house anyway." I tell him with a grin."I would hope not considering that you already exercised more than even I do everyday. Your body could definitely use some time to just

  • The Heir's Child   Accidents

    The next couple of days pass with us staying closer to the house. It's not as though we ever ventured very far, even during our training, but knowing there's a werewolf out there who may be looking for me has made us decide it's best to lay low for a while.Instead, we keep our jogs confined to the yard, running multiple laps rather than taking one long route through the woods. This way, we're not only closer to home, but we're also able to run together instead of having to take turns.I haven't shifted again since that day, either. It's simply too risky. When I shift, my scent changes to that of a werewolf, leaving no trace of the witch side of me. Staying in human form allows me to pass as a witch rather than revealing that I'm a wolf or, even worse, a hybrid.Mark still stops by most days, though. He likes to come over either before or after work to check on how we're doing. So far, he hasn't mentioned seeing anything suspicious, which is a relief. Not that he would necessarily kno

  • The Heir's Child   Preparations

    "A werewolf followed you all of the way back?" She asks once again.As soon as I got back from my run, I found her rocking Amaani as she watched out of the window, waiting for me. When she sees me racing towards the front steps, she lets out a visible breath of relief before coming out to meet me.The she wolf immediately darts off towards her pup once she sees tht it is safe again. I know that she sensed the danger when we were in the woods so now she is not going to be able to rest until she sees that her pup is still safe. I immediately shifted back before rushing over to see Amaani with my own eyes. I know that she is more than okay with Raven but I also know that just like the she wolf, I have to see her up close.I grabbed Amaani and held her close so I could smell her before walking into my room to put on some new clothes. Once I walked back out, I told Raven everything that happened while we were out for our run."You did not recognize his scent at all?" She asks me."I have

  • The Heir's Child   Accidental Contact

    After what feels like an eternity, she finally moves closer.I keep my belly exposed as she cautiously approaches. It takes everything in me not to move when her nose comes within inches of my neck.Finally, she begins sniffing me. I fight against every instinct telling me to get up and defend myself. Each movement she makes puts me on edge, but I force myself to remain still. I have to trust her just as I'm asking her to trust me.As she continues investigating my scent, the fur along her back gradually settles. She still seems confused, but the fear is beginning to fade. After a few more moments, she sits back on her haunches, her tail giving a tentative wag.I think that's about as good a reaction as I could have hoped for.Slowly, I roll back onto my paws and approach her. I keep my movements careful, making sure not to push my luck by getting too close to her pup. Instead, I turn and take off in the opposite direction, heading into the trees.Running in wolf form is so different

  • The Heir's Child   Transformation

    While Raven is making her run, I settle onto the ground and try to draw my familiar closer. She tends to wait until I’m not looking directly at her, so I make sure my back is turned toward the woods as I reach out to the Earth with my mind.The moment I establish that connection, I realize she has already started making her way toward me. I can feel each step as she approaches from behind before she finally lowers herself onto the grass.My smile grows as I feel more connected to her than ever. With my connection to the Earth magnifying everything around me, I can make out her heartbeat and even the steady rhythm of each breath. Before long, my breathing falls into sync with hers, and we are both lying peacefully on the grass.I don’t even hear Raven returning at first. Instead, I feel her through my connection to the Earth. I can sense every step she takes and each stick she jumps over as she makes her way back toward the yard.When she crashes through the undergrowth, my eyes snap o

  • The Heir's Child   Training and Teasing

    “What was that yesterday with Mark?” Raven asks as we begin our stretches the next morning.“It was nothing. He was asking how I knew all those self-defense moves, so I told him a little bit about pack life. Just enough for him to know that my parents started teaching me martial arts when I was young,” I hurriedly explain, especially after seeing the look on her face.This isn't the first time I've found myself getting a little too comfortable around Mark. It's much easier than it should be to let my guard down with him. There have been plenty of moments when I've nearly slipped up, but yesterday wasn't one of them.“So, you just made it sound like you're some freakishly talented martial artist?” she asks.“Well... yes,” I say with a shrug.She studies my face for a moment before bursting into laughter.What's so funny about that? It's a perfectly plausible explanation, especially considering what he saw.“You do realize no human could have done what you did so soon after giving birth

  • The Heir's Child   Flashes

    Flashes.That was all I had.Flashes of light.Flashes of voices.Flashes of movement just beyond my reach.Every time I tried to grasp one of the memories, it slipped away like water through my fingers.My head pounded.It felt as though someone had taken a hammer to my skull and then left the pie

  • The Heir's Child   Future plans

    Troy looked far too pleased with himself as we sat around sipping our drinks and talking about all the trouble we'd inevitably get into at college.I still couldn't believe everyone had decided to go.When Lyall and I first made our plans, I'd imagined the two of us facing a new world together. Som

  • The Heir's Child   College Plans

    "On a more serious note," Mel said, lifting his empty glass, "one of us has to go get the next round, don't we?"A collective groan went around the table.We all laughed at Mel's expression.His family was ridiculously wealthy. Not spoiled exactly, but definitely accustomed to convenience. If there

  • The Heir's Child   Last Night Out

    Knowing I wouldn't be allowed to leave until I promised to be careful, I gave my parents the reassurance they wanted before retreating to my room to finish getting ready.Most of my friends were guys, and I usually blended right in with them. Every now and then, though, I enjoyed reminding them tha
