Back at the camp, there was confusion. “You felt it too?” Cathy asked with shaky breath as she clutched her belly. She like everyone else was naked. The children had been ushered inside to dress. It had happened so spontaneously and with much vigor that they were all still shaken from it. The sky was clear now but the after-effect remained.Cathy clutched her belly at the strange sensation in her.In the infirmary, Caleb groaned and rolled to his side. Carl was by his side in a flash to assist him so that he wasn't laying on his open wound. Even though it was healing it was still so slow and the bones in his neck and side were still exposed.“Take it easy you idiot,” Carl admonished him.“What the hell just happened?” Caleb moaned. He could still feel the rush of powers in his veins. It had been so overwhelming with blinding pain that he almost went numb from it.“I don’t know, I felt it too,” Carl replied then turn to look behind him at the dazed faces of the others still recovering

“So this is how the better half lives?”Cathy turned to glare at Ginny from the bathroom of what Noah had called the East guest room. It was a large sunny room done in canary yellow. The soft color of the wall, the creamy shades of the curtains and beddings, the gold decorative mirror on one side of the wall, and the dull shade of yellow rug beneath the king-size bed all created a very sunny illusion. Ginny had squealed in delight when Noah opened the door, rushing in quickly to gawk at the sheer size of the room.“There is no such thing as the better half. They are just the half with the money.”“Right, and we are just the half without staying in the woods. Have you ever been in a place like this Cathy?”She hadn’t. But she would die before giving Maggie and her minions the satisfaction of knowing that she was impressed by the room. She walked out of the bathroom, hands in the pocket of her jacket, and eyed Ginny as the teenager oohed and ahhed over everything.“I thought you hated b

Maggie didn’t want to move from where she sat even after the girl left. Even when the girl blasted her back into her body she had held on to something in the dark and crawled her way back to the place where she was sitting. The girl was long gone and so was the pin-sized light. She was once again alone in the dark. Maggie rocked back and forth on her feet. That blinding pain she had felt was long gone and a calm replaced it. She had been so scared of that transformation. When the grey wolf’s teeth closed around her neck it was as if her wolf had gone into a frenzy. First, it hardened her neck until it was harder than diamond, and then without warning it suddenly tore out of her, tearing her heart apart. She had tasted her own blood while her wolf took over. It had been so violent. She was on the inside watching. Then all of a sudden her body had molded with that of her wolf until she was almost like a cyborg using her brain to control a huge contraption of metal traps. Her wolf had be

Maggie finally woke up and when she did she was alone in the room. She smiled and stretched out on her side feeling the cramps that came as a result of sex last night. It was so good. But who was it again? She smiled as she closed her eyes to remember…his dark hair, the feel of his hands, his cock inside her…Lance!Maggie sat up with a start the smile disappearing off her face completely. Fucking Lance!How? How had he gotten here?She knew she wasn’t mistaken. She had felt him! That familiar touch of his hands, the soft touch of his mouth against her skin. She remembered everything! She remembered going down the length of his body and…oh God she sucked his cock! What was she thinking?She scrambled off the bed noting the stains on the rumpled sheets and her stomach rolled. Was I out of my fucking mind fucking the enemy like a slut?! She railed against herself.Maggie snatched the closest thing she could find to put on, it was a robe, and she marched outside to fight Lance. The bastar

Asher was the first to curse under his breath as he stared in disbelief at the mark he never would have guessed in a million years would appear on his hand. Yet there it was, the burning sensation in his hand was fading slowly and the mark was clearer now.Maggie and Lance exchanged glances. She broke her gaze and turned to Asher.“This was the mark on Trevor’s and Jennifer’s palm right?” Her voice was small.He nodded too shocked to say a word.“I-Is this what I think it is?”Once again Asher nodded his head. He looked up and caught Lance’s shocked gaze from the floor. He was on one knee with his engraved palm placed on his bent knee.“Can someone explain what this means to me?” he demanded. “What does this mean?”"We have a problem."Maggie looked up at Noah who was avoiding her gaze because she was still half naked. “Can you excuse us, Noah? And don’t tell anyone about this until Asher, Lance and I have spoken about this.”“Yes ma’am,” he nodded and left the room.“Spoken about wha
