"You lost, get the fuck away from here," I glared at Adam slowly shifting back to my human form."Lost?" Adam tilted his gaze and took off his leather jacket and then his shirt revealing a slash that stretched from his left shoulder down his right torso. He repeatedly fired shots in my direction but I was too quick of a target to hit. Immediately I shifted back to my Lycan form and dashed into the woods."Don't run away Alpha Killian, the fun is just getting started," Adam yelled and chased after me.The dense woodland was extra silent as I prowled through the underbrush, my keen senses alert to any disturbance in the natural rhythm of the forest. The scent of the Lycan hunter wafted toward me with a mix of sweat, fear, and determination. I could feel him getting closer, his presence like a looming shadow in the woods.I stealthily maneuvered through the foliage, fangs bared and muscles tensed. The weight of the hunter's steps thudded against the earth, sending shivers through the ro

Back in the pack house, I headed upstairs with Killian, our arms wrapped around each other's waists. The house was quiet and dark, with only the lamp in the entryway left on. "Don't you think the pack might have felt your emotions last night?," I asked Killian who smiled and replied"I turned off the bond, they might have felt it at the beginning, but I could brush it off as a sudden panic,""Panic?,""Hmm," He nodded, "If asked, I'd simply say you had an accident that scared me and luckily it wasn't serious,"As we reached the upper landing, Josephine's bedroom door popped open, spilling a wedge of light across the darkness. She peered out at us and smiled. "Looks like you two had a good time." "It’s about to get even better," Killian nuzzled my neck, not even looking at Josephine. Killian's scars from Last night had already healed so Josephine couldn't know he had spent the night fighting for his life and mine.Josephine giggled as I playfully smacked Killian's arm. Tsk...what a h

I spent most of my drive to work thinking about Killian. His childhood explained a lot about him now as an adult. As Christine had pointed out, not having a stable home or a real pack while growing up, made him fiercely protective and loyal to what he had now. And his consideration of me as a new member of the pack made sense too. How many times had he experienced that awkwardness, moving somewhere new and trying to fit in? Then there was his speech about ‘moments of great disappointment’. I kept coming back to that, but it could have any number of meanings. At one time, I thought it might have referred to Josephine, or it could be about his brother turning on him, but now I wondered if it was his mother leaving him behind, or possibly even his whole childhood. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Killian was a very complex person, with one foot in the past, dealing with the ancient traditions and animal instincts of a male werewolf and pack Alpha and the other in

"I'm relieved now that that's off my mind. After you left earlier, I did a lot of thinking and... Well...” He hesitated and then spoke in a rush. “After seeing you again today, I’ve come to realize that while I still love you, I think it’s more of a brother-sister kind of love. We’ve known each other all our lives and we drifted into a relationship but after you left, I found that I wasn’t as devastated as I thought I’d be.” Stephan seemed to be apologetic and was holding his breath, waiting for my response. I blinked. That wasn’t what I’d been expecting at all and yet it mirrored what I’d been coming to suspect. A self-deprecating laugh escaped me. Here I’d been thinking he wanted us to run away together and instead he was letting me down easy! “So you’re basically ‘breaking up’ with me?” I smiled at him so he’d know I was teasing but even still, he squirmed looking uncomfortable. “Yeah, I guess I am. Have I hurt your feelings?” “No. I was coming to the same conclusion myself.

"Mr...Caspian, it's... it a surprise, I wasn't expecting to see you here so early," Dr. Barret said with a forced smile while his assistant nurse trembled at the sudden visitor. "Do I need to announce my presence to an establishment that I built?," Caspian titled his gaze with a creepy smile."Of..of course not Mr Caspian," Barret smiled, "Your presence is always welcome in this fine establishment,""Good," Caspian nodded, "So any development?" Caspian asked strolling towards to table where a Lycan lay lifeless with his mouth open and his skull melted. It was a horrific sight, however not to Caspian who seemed to enjoy it breaking a callous smile across his face."Yes Mr Caspian, we are a step closer to perfecting the serum, we are already in the trial phase and the subjects are showing promising results," Dr barret boasted with confidence"Hmm," Caspian nodded, "That's a relief," He added trailing his hands across the corpse stopping at its manhood. Dr. Barrat winced at the sight. H
