LOGIN56'The boy won't heal unless he gets those secrets he's hiding out, Rhay. Johnny is right. Sam has seen things that won't let him rest peacefully if he doesn't share them. He's always talking about someone coming to kill him. Do you suspect anyone?''I spoke with all of Sean's enemies that I knew of. They swore on their own children that they wouldn't kill Sean. Like everyone else, they saw Sam and said the same thing: Even if they wanted to kill him, they didn't because he had a son. Sean was let off the hook by his enemies because of Sam on more than one occasion. They didn't want to take his father away from him.''They're either lying or they are really not involved.''I think it's the latter.'His wolf stared at Sam who was now gazing at the stars with Johnny and counting the brighter ones, 'Why are you saving him, Rhay? I am your wolf but I can't really understand yo
55"Did he tell you anything yet?" Johnny inquired as Rhayghar sat down to eat. He raised a piece of omelette to his lips with a fork and nodded negatively. "Damn!" Johnny sighed. "He's not ready to relive that experience, Johnny. Whatever Sam saw... It has to be very traumatic. He wouldn't be getting fits of panic until today if it was just normal killing. I'm certain he heard something too.""That's what I'm guessing. I hope he's able to open up soon. The only way I think we can find his parents' murderers is if he opens up to you."Rhayghar nodded while wiping his mouth with a napkin, "He's unable to trust me yet. I'll give him all the time he needs and let's not forget he's just a kid whose life was suddenly plunged into darkness one night. He saw his parents dying and then he was forced to live with the man his father hated. He's probably still scared and doesn't believe me the way it is required."Rhayghar got to his feet. He called a guard to stay with Sam in the room as he
54"Tell me about the second time he had a fit of panic."Johnny sighed and replied, "It just happened in the evening. He was exhausted from playing and fell asleep in my arms. He was laying in bed next to me and then started yelling and wriggling again. I couldn't handle him this time and brought you into your room.""Sam crawled into your arms and surprisingly you stroked his head in sleep and told him you're there. That put him to sleep instantly.""My poor baby. I feel so bad for him." Rhayghar stared at Sam's face with a pained look. "He's so small and he's having fits of panic because of what he saw. If only I could track down his parents’ killers and bring him justice, huh. He didn't deserve to be orphaned at such a young age.""That's what all of them say... All those who know his story but no one really tried to look for his parents' murderers as vigorously as you did." Johnny gritted his teeth. "You know, they still talk about it.""About what?" Rhayghar placed Sam back on t
53Around 8 o' clock in the evening, Rhayghar stirred in discomfort as something was on his back. Like a little animal. He tried to reach it with his fingers while getting up and felt it slide down on the mattress. When he turned his head to look at it, his eyes flew wide in shock before they softened."Sam!" A cute five year old boy with black hair like Rhayghar's was snoring innocently.The windows were open, allowing the chilly gust of winds inside. Rhayghar pitied the little boy as he curled into a ball because of the chilly atmosphere in the room. In an instant, Rhayghar scooped him up against his chest and covered him with a quilt.He was removing the boy's hair from his face when Johnny trudged inside his room with a trolley laden with food and a steaming cup of black coffee. However, Rhayghar's brows furrowed as the images of a hot, petite woman with distracting green eyes flashed before his vision. He frantically looked around for her as Johnny stopped by the bed, observing h
52Vera's POVI miss home.I miss Mom. Dad. And Luke, my younger brother.We were such a happy family before. But since I left home, they cut all ties with me. Not that I missed them because soon after leaving them I had found Fred and married him. But today… My heart is splitting open and bleeding. How I wish to go back in time and change everything.I was crying silently inside the dark bus stand when a pair of young girls in high school uniforms caught my attention. They came and sat beside me inside the stand in the far corner. The light of their phone screens had brightened their faces, allowing me to observe the expressions they were wearing.“I feel so proud I'm telling you! It's a she-wolf. One of us. Not an Alpha wolf. Not a highly trained Sentinel. But a she-wolf. Can you believe it!” One of the girls
51Vera's POVMeanwhile, his partner, or say… His leader ordered all the rogues to gather in the gym room in the basement with all the women they grabbed.As the rogue holding my hair in his mouth dragged me down the staircase, I recalled all those times Fred and everyone else did me wrong. It made me see red. More aggression would lead to more cruelty.My hair was released when we came down to smooth flooring in the gym. Many women were lying at the feet of the rogues. They were seven and the biggest one was licking between a woman's legs while she cried in her arms.Anger flooded my veins as I sat on my knees. The leader saw my movements in his peripheral vision and stopped. His eyes came up arrogantly as if he hadn't expected a woman to stand up to him. His mouth opened on a grunt. He was exasperated.I didn't look away
