Peter Bennett.After chatting with Emma and having her stay with Maddie playing in the garden, we met with Parker in my office.He enters and sits on the couch, placing his legs on the table. He does it because he knows it’s something I hate.“Can you take your feet off the table? What is the matter with you?”He rolls his eyes as he says, “You’re no fun, Peter. Well, I’m here. We have a lot to talk about.”I watch as the door opens, and it is William who enters, sitting on the single sofa in front of me.With William, we have the implicit deal that outside the house, he calls me boss, Mr. Bennett, or king, depending on whether we are with our people or with the humans.But inside the house, he calls us Peter and Parker since he grew up with us. He is my best friend.The three of us used to get into trouble, getting into mischief. He was always the mastermind of evacuation plans. Remembering those times makes me smile.I watch as he greets Parker with a set of hands, which they have al

Emma Spencer.“Dad, why is my wolf asleep?”It’s a question I can’t help but ask. I watch as my father sighs as he says, “I knew this conversation would come at some point.”That phrase makes me very nervous. Parker, sensing how I feel, sits next to me, holding my hand. He draws circles with his thumb, sending those delicious sparks throughout my body. I close my eyes, focusing on the sensation.Somehow, I hear him in my head saying, “I know you said you didn’t want physical contact, but you need us, just like we need you. Let me help you babe, because I know these calms you down.”I close my eyes and nod in silence. He tells me, “Just focus on the sparks. Let them wash over you and breathe slowly.”I do what he tells me and after a few minutes; I feel my pulse slow down. My father says to me, “Are you okay, honey?” “Oh? Yes, now I am.” I look at Parker and whisper with a smile, “Thank you.”I clear my throat as I say, “Dad, just tell me. I need to know the truth.”“I suppose the kin

Parker Bennett. Once Jack notified Peter that there was a strange movement at Emma’s house, William drove at full speed, without first requesting reinforcements at John’s house to collect all the items that could give any indication of Emma’s existence and Maddie. During the journey, which did not take that long, we all remained in complete silence. Each one was immersed in their own thoughts. The repercussions of all this are extensive. If Harry could move his people that quickly, it means he has people hiding here. I’m scared to think about what could happen to Emma and Maddie. “Stop thinking the worst, Parker. You always do the damn same thing.” Fenrir tells me with a soft growl. “I can’t help but think the worst, Fenrir. Yourself saw the stupid things Harry does to people who are not loyal to him.” “Harry feels scared. Every day, there are more people defecting or plotting against him.” He goes on saying, “If our world knows which Emma exists and that there is already an he

Emma Spencer. Once I hang up the phone, I stare at the display before me. I can see how entire families sit around Dad’s improvised campfire. The safe house is a cabin, immersed in the forest. It is a remote place, which has strategic surveillance points. Being wide and far away, it can accommodate many people. The neighbors have showed great organizational skills. Once they got here, they quickly organized themselves and set up tents so they could camp. They say that being a Lycan, sleeping outdoors, is no big deal. “Is everything okay, honey?” “Yes Dad. It was Peter.” I see how everyone stops talking, attentive to what I have to say, I sigh and say, “Apparently, King Harry sent his men to search our houses, Dad.” “Oh, my goddesses!” Mom exclaims. “Did they take the letter?” Dad asks. “Apparently, yes. Peter couldn’t find it, but they trapped the wolves that entered both houses.” Dad frowns and says, “Did they tell you what they’re going to do?” “Well, what do you think… in

Emma Spencer.The conversation with dad left me uneasy. I sat there thinking about it while some returned to their human state and others went out running. Mom took Maddie to rest, since it had been a long day for her.I sigh and say in my head, “Are you there?”Silence…I try again, saying, “Mia, can you answer me? Listen, I know you’re angry, but I am too. Do you think I wanted this? I have always lived with the feeling that something was missing!”Silence…I must be going crazy, I wonder.“Well, you’re not crazy, Emma.” I open my eyes wide, since it is the first time that I am aware of what is happening.“Mia?”“Until you say my name, Emma. I always thought you didn’t do it because you liked to bother me.”“Why did you say nothing?”“I thought you knew.”I sigh and say, “Mia, from now on, neither should assume that the other knows. Alright?”“OK.”“I’m not sure how to do this.”“Well, there is no right or wrong way. We are both supposed to share a body and we have to learn to live t
