Kaynon kept to the shadows as he watched her walk this way and that, not knowing where she was going. He kept his distance, as she had demanded, though the more she seemed to struggle with her sense of direction the more he wanted to intervene. He wanted to tell her she was going the wrong way numerous times but did not want to let her realize he was still following her. It was not until the decision was forced that he made himself known to her again.A male vampire appeared out of no where, coming to a stop in front of her. She started to scream but the vile vermin quickly covered her mouth with one filthy hand over her mouth and the other cupping the back of her neck."Shhhhh my sweet pretty. I will not harm you." He cooed, his glowing red eyes staring into her's as he tried to hypnotize her into submission.Kaynon shifted, shredding his shorts, and with a running start leaped from his hiding place. The vampire released her, throwing her to the ground. Yet he was not fast enough to

Sitting in her office, the ringing of the phone, placed at the corner of her desk, made her jump. She had been staring at the pictures again. Even going as far as to pin them up on her way map of the town as to where the bodies were found. Hey bulletin board was littered with post it notes with dates, times, and other significant details of each victim. Dropping the red twine she had been trusting strong each tack, she picked up the phone."Investigator Jones, how can I help you?" She spoke into the receiver, all professional and routinely."Cilyna, I need you to come down to Seventh Street. There's been another attack." The Chief of police's deep voice boomed through the ear piece."Yes, sir. I'm on my way." She threw the phone back onto it's cradle, grabbed her leather jacket and started for the door. As she passed the kitchen, headed for the front door, her husband stopped her."Supper is done, honey. Where are you going?" He said after noticing her jacket draped over her arm."Th

Cilyna found her leather jacket that had been wrenched from her body before she shifted and draped it over her shoulders, thanking whatever god for her getting one that covered down to her knees. She done up the buttons, noticing one sleeve was ripped at the seem by her shoulder, then found her way out of the coverage of the trees. Her hair a disheveled mess, her feet bare, she approached the edge of the grass, where it met the asphalt and where the whole scene began. The Chief was about thirty yards away from her, peering into the thick foliage, calling her name. Funny, he dared not let his high dollar leather shit kickers leave the man-made ground."I'm here, Chief." Cilyna called weakly, his head whipped around in her direction, she almost caught whiplash from the speed.The sound of his boots clapping across the pavement, echoing over the trunks of the trees were magnified due to the stunned silence around them. Cilyna could feel that all eyes were on her, a couple news crews comi

"Yes, sir. I have her captive." Cilyna heard a male's whispered voice from afar. "I'm not sure if that's necessary." She heard regret in his tone. "I understand. Yes, sir. I'll bring her right over. What would you have me do with the children? They should not be subjected to the same fate, they're only children." Cilyna's eyes popped open as fast as the speed of sound at the mention of 'children'. Her pupils landed on the male she thought she knew better than herself. The man she fell in love with and had had children with. "I don't believe they pose a threat. They are only half breeds, there is a possibility they will never come into that side of their genetics." He continued, slumping his shoulders at the response he received."Understood." He said in defeat.Thomas had his back turned towards her bound body with his phone pressed to his ear. Frustration and sorrow etched in the muscles of his back. If it were not for his voice, she never would have recognized him. Clad in a blac

"The Hunter's have already gotten the children." Kaynon whispered to Ciaran at the entrance of his cave."We'll have to track him. It's not going to be easy to do without her, but she is in no condition for such a mission at this point." Ciaran replied, just as quietly."I agree, she's still getting used to shifting and reconnecting with her wolf. She'll ravage anything and everything in her path.""You'll need to stay here with her. Keep her safe, not just from anything harmful out here, but safe from her losing her sanity because of this." Ciaran ordered."Yes, Alpha." Kaynon turned towards the glow of the flames lighting the stone walls."Oh, and Kaynon? Now would not be a very good time to talk to her about mates either." Ciaran said, gripping his shoulder firmly."I know. I know." Kaynon said with a sigh before walking in his den and sitting beside Cilyna."So what's the plan?" She asked, her gaze never wavering from the orange and yellow flames licking up the sides of the logs.
