It was almost dinner so they thought it would be a good time to head into the village, Ember asked Caleb to get them a car ready while she brought the two fae to their supply stores to find them some more modern clothes. She didn’t think they would blend in very well in their current clothing, which looked like something from a King Arthur legend. She found a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a hoody for Albwin and a jacket for Torin. Albwin was a bit on the smaller side so the clothing looked a little baggy on him, Ember tried not to giggle at his horrified expression. “You actually enjoy wearing clothes like this?” He asked as he pulled the hooded sweater over his head, he had changed first. “Well, usually we go and buy clothing that fits properly and is more our own style. But yes, it's comfortable.” She shrugged looking at her own outfit which was a pair of black skinny jeans, a fitted green t-shirt, and a leather jacket. “I don’t think it's that bad.” Torin walked out from the chan

When she made it outside she looked around trying to see where the man had gone. She thought she might have lost him when she caught a glimpse of him turning down the alley between the pub and the shop next door. Keeping the phone to her ear and making her mouth move as if she was talking, she slowly made her way in the same direction. She turned around a couple of times as if she was pacing while talking. She didn’t know if the other man could see her from the window and she wanted to keep up the show, just in case. Finally, she got to the edge of the building and out of sight and kept quiet seeing if she could hear any talking. Straining her ears and bringing her wolf forward enough to enhance her hearing further she managed to make out a gruff voice. “Yes sir. Are you sure?” He paused as if listening, and she moved a little closer to the edge of the building trying to make sure she didn't give herself away. “Yes, one pretty she-wolf and I think a fae, sir. They are acting like they

Ember showered quickly, unable to stop from thinking about the incredible kiss she had shared with Torin in the hall. Caleb’s kisses have been wonderful but they didn’t compare to Torin’s. The sparks and tingles when they touched were amazing and the kiss she felt through her entire being. Now she just needed her wolf to catch up with the program. We can feel everything we need to, just claim him already! She thought to her wolf, she almost thought she felt a grumble in response as if her wolf was disturbed from a slumber. She could picture in her mind a wolf making the noise and rolling over and going back to sleep. Perhaps she needed to shift. It had been almost a month since she had last shifted, with the move and packing and graduation, then the ball and now everything else. Maybe her wolf was feeling distant because of that? She got out and squeezed her hair in the towel before quickly braiding it not wanting to spend forever with wet hair. She got dressed quickly and put on a bi

Her head was swirling with so many thoughts and emotions that she hadn’t even closed the door all the way when she changed her mind and marched right back out her door again. She needed to shift. She hadn’t shifted in so long and she felt like her wolf has been half asleep since she got here. It was a strange feeling and Ember didn’t like it. She now knew the dangers and her grandparents had forbidden her to leave the property, but if she just ran the perimeter she would be in view of the patrol the entire time. With her mind made up, she walked out the kitchen entrance quietly and made her way to the small side gate. She quickly took her clothes off in the shadows and left them in a neatly folded pile by the gate for when she got back. She stretched out her muscles and rolled her neck as she felt her bones snap and crack as they shifted into her wolf. She shook out her fur and finally felt whole once more. Her wolf let out an annoyed grumble when a scent caught her nose, she trotted

She had no idea how long she had been out, but she could feel herself starting to wake up in her physical form. As Ember gained consciousness she listened for a moment to make sure she couldn’t hear anyone close by before slowly opening her eyes. It took a moment to adjust her sight to the dim surroundings, her eyes felt fuzzy and she had to blink a few times to help clear them faster. Carefully she felt around her trying not to make any obvious movements, she wasn't ready to alert her captors that she was awake just yet. She could feel a threadbare blanket underneath her, it was the only thing between her and the wood floor. The wall behind her seemed to be wood as well. Her hands and feet were bound but there was enough slack that she could move around a little. Her captors were either lazy or expected her to be there for a while. Someone had thrown a thin worn blanket over her to cover her nakedness. There must have been enough wolfsbane in the darts they used that it forced her t
