The Pack's Rebels

Havermouth, Present TimeEight men all stood in their cells staring as Aislen turned the trundle bed on it’s side and dragged it around to create a corner that, when she was kneeling, gave her some privacy in which to use the bedpan.“Now, why didn’t I think of that?” Dr. James commented dryly from her bed.“I’m peeing,” Aislen replied. “Crouched behind a trundle bed, in a f-king cage surrounded by different types of zombies, and with eight idiots staring at me. I don’t really want to be chatting with you, Dr. James, right now.”“And yet, here we are,” Dr. James pointed out finger combing her hair. “Life is strange, isn’t it, Aislen? Who would have thought that we’d end up cell mates. It’s sort of funny seeing as we’ve both been trying to put each other into a cell all along.”“I didn’t kill my daughter in order to get my rocks off,” Aislen grumbled under her breath.“You’re not peeing.”“I have f-king stage fright,” Aislen snapped, her eyes going to the row of men who continued to st

Havermouth, Present TimeThe Point Crest Triquetra led the way through the main streets of town. In the darkness of night, with no traffic and no lights, the stillness was unnerving. The shop windows reflected their odd little group back at them, seeming to emphasise how vulnerable they were, Cameron thought with a grimace.Harry gleamed in the night with their vivid hair and clothing, as did Connery in his blue coat. The Point Crest Triquetra and Rhett, in their black, were least noticeable, whilst Cameron, Meguitte, Jules, the human woman and her children looked out of place in their casual clothing, caught between the glamour of Harry and Connery and the darkness of the Triquetra and Rhett.Their hasty footsteps and hyper-vigilance reminded Cameron of movies about the end of the world. It was always during scenes like this that someone died, he realized as they reached the street corner and the Point Crest Triquetra began to cross the road. The warehouse was to the right.“Where is

Havermouth, Present Time “I’m sorry,” Heath was jolted from erotic fantasy into the real world with a jarring abruptness. “What did you say?” “I said that you should get dressed, my mate,” Talen held out a pair of jeans. “Cameron and Rhett were at the high school, but there have been explosions there tonight, and we need to find out if they are okay. And Morgana has gone. I think that she has gone after them.” “Wha…?” Heath pulled back his thoughts. Everything was blurred and confused but sifted back into focus as he concentrated. He remembered being separated from Cameron, and then his torture, waking in Talen’s arms, their vows, the sex… How long had it been? And Cameron had still been trapped… Not alone though, Rhett had gone. “Shit. They are okay though?” He asked, his voice hoarse. “The explosions tonight… I don’t know,” Talen admitted heavily, his composure dropping to reveal the anxiety below it. “I do not know. We would know, I feel, if Cameron and Rhett were…?” He trailed

Havermouth, Present Time Escaping captivity had not resolved her problems, Meguitte admitted to herself as Harry and Connery consulted in hissed whispers over her head. If the werewolves discovered that she was Logan’s mate, they would take her prisoner in order to use her against him. If the nice young red-haired man, his father and his lover discovered that she had created the cuffs that had been used to imprison them and their pack members, they would kill her. Then, there was the problem of Connery. She was just… so confused. So very, very confused, and guilty. She had always known, she would have been a fool not, that Connery had always wanted more from her than their friendship. His desire for more and her knowledge of it, had always kept her guarded in their interactions. She had taken care not to see him too frequently, and not to be with him, alone, for too long, not wanting to encourage him to believe that she was open to romance. It was not fair, to him or to her, she tho

Havermouth, Present Time“I’m going to shift,” Heath began to undress. “My senses are heightened in human form, they might be even more so in wolf form.”Talen reached out to take Heath’s clothing from him knowing that they were both avoiding the fear that Heath would no longer be able to shift. There was only one way in which to discover whether the ability remained.“As you wish, my mate,” Talen agreed watching as the moonlight that filtered through the high-placed windows shifted over Heath’s skin as he stripped off his jeans. The scars across Heath’s chest were a stark reminder of the trauma that he had seen in Heath’s eyes at the warehouse.Talen was so relieved that despite his injuries and the cuff, not only had Heath turned as a strong vampire he was stronger and faster than any vampire that Talen had ever known, including himself. And he was immensely proud of Heath. His mate had taken to his transformation remarkably well, and his first feed had been magnificent.However, he
