Rieka I pressed the palms of my hands against my temples as the continuous ringing filled my head. The pain that tore throughout my body was akin to my bones being on fire. I felt like I was burning from the inside out. "Mia, change him! NOW!" I somehow heard Izzy's voice yell above the ringing in my head. I fought the pain that wanted to claim me as its own and gave everything I had to slowly stand on my unstable feet. What I was feeling, both emotionally and physically, was so overwhelmingly surreal. Lupa ..... what's going on? But my wolf wasn't there. I forced my eyes open only to see a blurry scene from a horror movie. As I looked down, I could make out Amar's body, still lying lifeless. A very naked Mia was kneeling over Jay, who was lying too still on the ground. Timophy was nowhere to be seen. He had simply disappeared, leaving behind a heartbreaking scene as the only proof as to what had happened. "RHI?!" Seth's concerned voice yelled my name as the tears fill
Seth I never bothered to go back to sleep after Rhi and Jo left. How could I? Rhi only agreed to stay here for the weekend, and today was Sunday. It was obvious that I didn't want her to go, but I wasn't about to force her to stay. Sure, I could. And most Alphas would. But that's not who I am. After I watched the taillights fade down the driveway, I filled my coffee cup back up and sat down on the front porch to watch the sunrise, stewing in my thoughts and feelings until the others woke up and we could get our day going. "I can't believe you're just going to let her walk away," Lucius grumbled as I sipped my coffee. I rolled my eyes as I swallowed my coffee. I'm not going to force her to stay here. She literally just found out about the supernatural world, what she is, and that her entire life was a lie. She needs to be allowed to think for herself and to make her own decisions. I will not force her into this. If she wants to live elsewhere and we just date or whatever, so be
Samuel Sunday. It was a day that I was supposed to be able to sleep in a little. My intentions were to do just that after I gave Jo a kiss goodbye and told her to be safe and have fun. OK, so I may have also told her I had something else she could ride, but she just rolled her eyes as she left. It was worth a shot, right? It didn't take long for me to fall back asleep after she left, only to be woken back up by a burning pain in my chest. "Jo ....." Denny growled as I jumped out of bed and started running down the hall to the stairs. "WAKE UP! Something's wrong with Rhi and Jo!" Seth's booming voice echoed in my head, followed by the sound of Jay and Damian's bedroom doors being flung open. I had never been so consumed with worry and fear before in my entire life. As I raced down the stairs, damn near tripping over my own feet, I saw that the front door was open and a large burning glow could be seen from the front yard. What in the actual .... "SAM!" Seth yelled as he
Rieka It can't be ..... I looked over to see Timophy leaning against a tree with a smug look on his face. He didn't look dead, just .... cold. His brown hair was now slicked back, and his brown eyes were so dark that they were almost back. How is this possible .... "Yeah, I know what you're thinking. 'But I killed him!'" He mimicked me in a whiny tone, waving his hands in the air in a sarcastically fake, panicked motion. I couldn't help but scoff as I rolled my eyes. He might be undead, but he is still ridiculously ignorant. "Look at you! So much attitude! And this new Teen Wolf look you have going on? NOT attractive," Timpohy chuckled as he took a step over to the charred black mark on the ground where Laura's body had been. "Such a shame, she had potential." He then raised his head as he quietly looked back at me. Amar's hackles stood on edge as he arched his back, making his already large wolf body appear even bigger. He lowered his head as he pinned his ear back, curli
Rieka I let go of my shotgun as the oddly familiar pungent smell became stronger ... along with the sound of Laura's giggles. "Sulfur," Lupa whispered.Sulfur? What does that mean? "Who is Laura?" Jo asked with a confused tone as our eyes searched the woods for the person responsible for the laughter. Laura finally made herself visible as she slowly walked out of the woods from our right. She somehow looked even worse than she did the other day. Her skin was now clammy, and her hair tangled and matted. "Oh, sweet innocent Rhiannon here didn't tell you what she did to me?" The animals became more uneasy with every step that Laura took towards us. Amar showed his teeth as he curled his lips, a threatening growl telling Laura to stay away. Dub stomped his front hooves aggressively as he blew air out of his nose. Even Tonka was fidgeting in place, knowing that something was wrong. "Rhi, that's not Laura anymore," Lupa cautioned. But, if she wasn't Laura, who, or what, was she
Rieka "Hey, Rhi ....." Seth's voice whispered my name sweetly from next to me as he gently rubbed my shoulder. I wrinkled my nose as I rolled away from him, making sure not to kick Amar, who was lying at my feet. I really didn't want to wake up this early today. "Do you want me to tell Jo that there's been a change of plans?" Seth asked as he rubbed my back, clearly wanting me to stay in bed. Yesterday, on our way back from Gram's, we discussed bringing the horses over. Seth said that he could borrow a trailer from one of the farmers, but it wasn't large enough for all of the horses in one trip. Since I hadn't yet made up my mind if I was going to stay or not, I said that I would ride Dub over while I ponied Tonka. I thought it would be great alone time for me to figure things out, but once Jo found out what I was going to do, she begged to ride Tonka over. I rolled over to talk to Seth, not realizing how close he was to me and ended up lying against his chest. Not botherin
