Laura growled lowly, "I've had enough of that bastard." She gritted out, as she and Larry got into her car.Larry shrugged, then ruffled his hair."I'm bound to it till I die Laura. There's nothing I can do about it." Earlier on when Douglas had asked Larry to talk about the second prophecy, Larry had found himself unable to talk.Douglas laughed sardonically when Laura tried to prod it out of him. Laura was frustrated and Larry looked like he was about to burst into tears when Douglas asked her to stop."He can't say anything about it, Laura. Neither can Caleb. Even Mendez sitting there cannot ask questions about it. I'll do the same to you if you continue pandering me."Laura growled."I'm Alpha," Douglas whispered menacingly, lacing his tone with dominance. "You will respect my decisions and stop questioning me."Snarling Laura stomped out of the conference room. "Get out!" Douglas barked, making Larry jump to his feet and scurry after Laura. "Now we can discuss tactics," Doug

Humans. Humans. Fae. Sprite. Humans. Undead. Human. Human. Humans. Human. Ghost. Human. Humans. Humans. Emily counted every being that entered the bar. Her hands twitched nervously below her table. Her date was running late. He was never late. She inhaled deeply and rearranged her hair. She'd sensed that something was wrong when Samantha called her and instructed that she meet up with him immediately. To make matters worse, she had not fully recovered from Shirley's attack. There's no need to worry. He'll be here. She tried to assure herself.David, her date albeit a fake one, was her team's informant who worked at the sorcerer's fight club. They met regularly and pretended to be very in love while swapping information. This particular date was impromptu though because it was rumored that they were about to move the kids. After all, the sorcerer suspected some of his workers. Samantha had immediately set a meeting with David to confirm it.Her mind drifted back to Jacqueline's reacti

Confusing Caleb was almost too easy. He'd been falling for their silly pranks since they were younger.This version wasn't difficult to put together and as expected, Caleb fell for it. As planned, they'd driven in circles around Brighton, stopping at the homes of random pack members, whom Larry assured either suffered dementia or were utterly paranoid, cooked up lies about the next person that'll visit(Caleb) and left instructions for them to dish out to him. When they were leaving they pretended that they'd found out something important, knowing that Caleb would want to know what they knew.They instructed the last person they met to tell Caleb that he'd sent them away because his memory was foggy but that he would give him a map that'll help him. Then dropped a fake map they'd created on the way."That'll keep him busy." Larry joked as they drove off. Andrew chuckled,It'd been a while since they'd had that amount of fun together. It reminded him of how they had taken turns to pran

Caleb gasped for air and slumped on a tree trunk. Glancing at the map in his hands he wondered why it led him around Brighton instead of to the solution to the feud with the witches.When he'd snatched the map out of the trembling old man, he expected that it would lead him to a sort of secret cave or tomb engraved with ancient secrets. He didn't get any of that. Instead, he'd wandered around Brighton like a madman.He growled,"Those fools."Since he didn't know where to start, he decided to find out what Andrew was doing. He had a simple plan. Trail them and cause enough havoc that'll distract and slow them down.But when they started visiting the oldest pack members, he was so impressed by the idea that instead of going with his first plan, he decided to go in after them.Immediately they left a spot he rushed in and threatened the unfortunate fools he'd encountered into submission, asking them to tell him everything they'd told Andrew and Larry.Most of them were crazy and easily

On the way back to Brighton, Andrew stayed silent, his mind full of thoughts.For the second time since his mother's death, he dug deep into memories he'd suppressed out of anger. The first time was when he involuntarily remembered the good times with his mother and automatically reconnected to the pack bond. It hurt him to think about it as they journeyed to the pack. It hurt to remember that his mother was murdered brutally by a beast like him. It rankled his wolf to remember the hatred he'd carried around for a long time. But there was nothing he could do about it. Besides the clear memory of his mother's death and a few foggy ones of them happy together plus the ones of when the old alpha returned and things took a turn there was nothing else.He couldn't even remember much after her death. His only vivid memory began seven years later. It was on the day a woman (Laura) led him back into Brighton."Larry, can you remember much of your childhood years?" He blurted out."Huh?"Larr
