Sitting cuddled up together on the bed, our banquet of food had arrived and smelt amazing. Rem had finally dared a glance at his phone. His nose wriggled in displeasure over whatever was there before replying to it and then tossing it aside. Through our bond, I could tell that he was irritable about his cousin, but he wasn’t thinking about anything in particular.I nuzzled into Rem’s neck to show my silent support. “Should I ask the receptionist to extend my stay?” I questioned as I took one of the pizza slices and brought it to Rem’s lips. He perked a brow at me, but then found my doting amusing enough that he humoured me and took a bite.“I’ll try to get you somewhere safer to stay,” he finally told me after finishing the pizza I had offered him. He then fed me in return, much to my surprise. I hadn’t expected Rem to be the doting sort. Perhaps there was a side to him I hadn’t seen at

Placing a change of clothes in the alley nearest the hotel, I was ready this time for the need to transform if I required the need. It would not catch me out again by not having something to wear once I became human again, however, I hoped I would not need to transform, to begin with. I listened carefully to my surroundings and moved with caution. The howling was not consistent, and I had to guess the direction to head in until I could hear or smell something that hinted if I was going the right way or not. After a while, I got a potent scent of a couple of werewolves in the garden’s next to the castle. Seeing the entrance locked up, I decided I would need to climb the wall. It wasn’t tall, but it was high enough that I had to put in the effort to get up there. I waited on the wall, perched to listen carefully for any signs of Hunters or the werewolves I was searching for. Finally, another howl echoed from further in the park. That was all I ne

An eerie silence filled the area as our eyes locked with one another. One Hunter had been one of the two I had led away from the Scottish beings I had run into while in London, but the other Hunter made my skin crawl with fear of what was to come.Rem’s cousin.He knew who I was without even missing a heartbeat.“You!” He hissed out at me. “I knew you were here somewhere!”The alpha looked down at Rem’s cousin and then back to me. “You have had run-ins with this one?” He questioned.I nodded slowly. What could I say? I wasn’t a fan of this Hunter by any stretch of the means, but that didn’t mean I would let him get hurt or worse, get killed. Rem would never forgive m

Everything was a shadowy haze as voices bickered and grew around me. Was this what heaven was like? Or maybe I was with the Moon Goddess now? I couldn’t tell where I was or who was talking. It was so vague, like a quiet echo that had travelled miles to reach me. I was at peace and at first, I couldn’t recall what I had been doing before. Slowly, my eyes flickered open to the sound of an elderly woman’s voice. “Waking up at last, are you? Good.” Slowly, I looked around. Everything was blurry. I could barely make anything out of the one eye, while something shrouded my other eye in blackness. Slowly, I found the owner of the voice. A light grey-haired woman with a face full of wrinkles. Her eyes held a familiar sight of blueish green. “I’m telling you, we should kill it now, not bring it back to health,” a younger woman’s voice huffed out loud. I couldn’t see her, but she must have been somewhere behind a curtain that surrounded the bed I

After enjoying our snacks and drinks, Rem and I settled down on his bed to watch some TV. To my surprise, Rem enjoyed the odd anime here and there, so we settled down to watch some old classics. No one disturbed us, likely for fear of irritating Rem. Even among his own family, he was rather short with them and would confront them if they made him irritable. By now, I had become accustomed to his nature of being cold, yet caring deeply about people.“So do you think your heat is finally over?” The question seemed to come out of nowhere, throwing me off guard.I could feel my cheeks grow warm, but I played it off smoothly. “I think so, but we haven’t been able to satisfy it since we last spent time alone, so who knows?” Glancing at Rem from the corner of my good eye, I could see him flush deeply.“Well, I don’t feel strange, or didn’t…” Rem tried to say, though he was floundering a
