Felix parked the car out of sight of the road and a couple of miles away from the area where I saw all of the activity this morning. Well at least this is where I think the activity was. I am still getting the hang of using my powers and it isn’t exactly as though I see a map in my head showing me where people are. It is more like I can use the connection that I feel to the other members of the pack to get a feeling for where they are. I can tell what direction they are relative to me and approximately how far away they are. That was how I worked out where to look but it was also why I couldn’t be 100% sure that this was the right area. It is the right direction though, of that I am almost certain. “What are we looking for?” Felix asked as we all got out of the car. “I am not sure, anything unusual.” I said. “This whole thing seems like a waste of time to me.” Felix complained. He wasn’t as frustrated as he was when we set off. One the way over here he kept glancing at Ava i

Elijah still had some pack business to deal with so he took me to his office. The room was set up with a separate desk for me. The desk hadn’t been here when he showed me around yesterday. I guess he must have set this up for me while I was meant to be at school. That made me feel even more guilty for sneaking out and upsetting him. I was about to take my place at my new desk but he insisted on me bringing the laptop and chair over to his desk. He got me to set up my laptop then shared with me a whole bunch of information about the pack and the various businesses his family owned. While I looked over all the information Elijah was replying to emails on pack business. I am sure that he would be done much faster if he typed with both his hands but he seemed very reluctant to let go of my hand. I guess he was still a little upset about me putting myself in a dangerous position earlier. It was a little extreme though, I wasn’t going anywhere and typing one handedly is annoying as fuck.

It’s going to be a while before I am used to having a mate. It feels like some alternate reality, I keep expecting to wake up from it at any moment and be back in my old room. Part of me doesn’t believe that I deserve anything so perfect. Elijah woke me up this morning by stroking my hair and planting soft kisses on my cheek. He was already dressed and ready for the day. He kissed me a few more times before he told me to get ready while he made us breakfast. When I got downstairs Elijah already had the food laid out on our kitchen table ready for us. While I was eating he got me to tell him everything I knew about my powers, which admittedly wasn’t much. When I told him that I could hear his thoughts I could see the panic on his face. His thoughts were all over the place, his panic was making them unfocused and I couldn’t keep up with them in the jumble. He was frowning. He didn’t look angry, just very unhappy. Maybe I should have told him sooner, this wasn’t good. My heart was ra

The second key was a lot easier to find than the first key. There weren’t really that many places to hide it in the small empty basement. Even by the light of my phone it was easy to see the spot where the bricks in the wall looked different from the rest of the room. The next part would be the hard part though. Whatever my parents had hidden for me was in one of the buildings in town but I had no idea which. If I had thought this far ahead I would have told Elijah to call at my old house so I could pick up the map but this whole thing was the embodiment of poor planning. I hadn’t thought any of this through before we set off so I had to rely on my not so perfect memory. From what I could remember the map pointed to one of the larger buildings at the centre of the village. So that seemed a good place to start, I set off towards the centre of the village with Elijah following closely behind. I didn’t want to resort to looking around each of the buildings in turn but I would if I had t

School was dull. I mean school was always dull but today was about ten times worse than usual because all I wanted was to be back at home with Elijah. Elijah was spending the day trying to work out who was sending the werewolves after me. He still had the ones who intruded on our territory in custody. They were due to be given back to their respective packs this weekend so he wanted to learn everything he could from them before then. I had tried to persuade him that I would be able to help or that my time would be better spent studying the books we found. It didn’t matter though, he wasn’t having any of it. He told me that my education was too important to ignore and forced me to go to school. I was going to have to find some way to graduate early. There was no way I could continue going to school every day when the pack was in danger and people were after me. It was such a waste of time. “Diana, where are you going? You better not be planning on sneaking out again,” Ryker said a
