Semua Bab Shift: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Today, Kevin decided to grace me with his presence. Apparently, Sam and Ethan had gotten in a heated argument and it made the pack house insufferable. Ethan couldn’t leave because he was dealing with issues in the new college town  he was building on his territory. They had multiple inspectors and construction crews coming in and out. Building the entire city from scratch sounded intense. I couldn’t even imagine how much that cost.Still, Sam and him had gotten into it about something in the city. They now argued every time they were within eye-line of each other. Kevin escaped in his very modest Toyota Sequoia. The only thing that wasn’t modest was the color. It was in what was called a Supersonic Red and I didn’t think that large of a car needed to be supersonic. That was not the point, but far be it from me to point it out.Since there wasn’t anything planned to come in today in t

“You know, you’re starting to piss me off now.”I was leaning over the hood of my new project in the garage. Really it was Emmett’s birthday gift but I’d finally had it pulled out of storage and sent to the shop. I’d been lucky that the engine was still in good shape. Most of it just needed to be cleaned, a few rusted parts replaced, and then of course throwing in a turbo for good measure. Emmett wasn’t one for a pure classic build. Which was fun but also the wires were infuriating.“I know. I’m irritating everyone it seems.”Chuckling, I pulled the wires of the new headlights that I was installing through a custom cut I had to make. I was starting to rethink giving the 1969 Corvette Stingray a modern set up. I’d need to build an entire board by hand and somehow have it fit into the body of this beauty without destroying it completely.Looking at it now, it was pretty destroyed. I’d finished the engine and made sure it would run first. But before even that, I’d stripped the entirety of

It took three tries to get Arbella up and running again but once she was, I was ready to murder some more things. This wouldn’t take me as long and I didn’t need to go past a hundred but I didn’t mosey over to the city either. Pulling up the the entrance, I pulled up to a stop about a block into the main downtown. Getting out, I grabbed my two weapons.There was a mess of wolves just chilling on the steps and in the street like they owned the fucking place. As I looked over the area, I counted how many wolves that were out here looking like the crew from West Side Story. There were definitely a leader, he was sitting in the center where I could see Sam, on her knees, tied up. She looked like she took a hell of a beating.A few of their wolves had made a bit of a red-rover line ahead of me. I cocked my head to the side, trying to see if they wanted to link arms and start singing.“What do you want, rogue? You don’t belong here.”I cackled. “You know…I don’t. I don’t belong here. But nei

*** Ethan’s POV ***I’d never seen my dad this on edge. Even as Alpha, watching him in battles for the territory, he was never this stressed. His Alpha wasn’t just leaking out, it was full blown wild in the car. If I wasn’t an Alpha myself, I would be baring my neck. It was his anger and fear that made me draw back. Sometimes, my dad still had the ability to scare me. Now was one of those time.Was I worried about my pack? Of course, but right now, we were breaking about every law in the book to get back to them as fast as we could. At this point, we were driving faster than what we could run as wolves. Otherwise we would have dumped the car and ran ourselves. The benefit of driving was also that if there was a fight to be had when we got there, we wouldn’t be too tired from all-out sprinting to fight properly.“I swear to the Moon Goddess herself, if Katerina has even a scratch on her, I will summon the hellhounds and hunt those rogues to the end of the earth. Then I’ll carry them to

‘What do you mean?’Niru shook his head. ‘I don’t know. These shadows, the weight of it, is what is hurting her. We need to take some of it, take her burden.’Part of me wanted to think he was crazy. The other part of me knew this might not be Niru’s mind but more instinct. Justin and I were supposed to balance out Sky. That was what Sophie and Fiona said. Sky said she would be too much for one person to handle. Did that mean we could take some of the darkness from her? Whatever the Blood Witches had twisted, whatever grew inside of her that turn her into a monster, was that something we could help pull out?‘How?’ I finally asked Niru after coming up with nothing on my own.‘I…I don’t know. It’s frustrating. I know we have to do something. We have to save her. I…feel like she’s slipping away, Ethan. I just…I don’t know how to help.’I nodded. Her writhing hadn’t been as bad but that was necessarily a good thing. It meant she’d stopped being able to fight. Otherwise, I’m sure she would
