Heart of the Bayou Rougarou Rising 2 のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

BriThe anticipation had been flooding my veins all day but as the moon began to rise my body became one with it. Its light brewed within me ready to release. The instant it did, the pain relented within an instant and my hands became paws hit the earth, my new instincts surged and I just ran, knowing he would be a heart's breath behind me. I scented everything in existence. The swamp, the creatures within it, the primordial scent of the soil washed within its depth eons ago. I took it all in as I sprinted toward the smell of the sea. Bounding across sandbars and swimming through shallow channels as small gators and snakes pushed away from me. I felt him moving towards me. My paws sunk into silty earth the wolf as defiant as I was to be caught too easily as we pushed harder. The strength in my limbs complied and I forged ahead, to where I wasn’t sure. I released that train of thought letting the wolf take over. It was exhilarating and freeing to be truely at one with the wildness I ha

BeauMy bond with Bri was strong before the full moon and when she shifted with us something more snapped into place when I found my bearings her white tail was disappearing into the underbrush. Wyatt lunged for her and my wolf was only held back by Bri’s command, my Luna, an Alpha Female, something so rare. I snarled but obeyed, assured that her instinct , knew she was safe with Wyatt. When they returned and I beheld the beauty of her animal a pure white wolf whose coat reflected the moonlight filtering down from the canopy of cypress trees laden in spanish moss. She was a legend, a myth walking among us and my heart swelled with pride. Communing together under the moon and stars our song lifted into the night. The vibrations of the pack were strong and the harmony poured through our links together where it began to heal something deeper within us all. We were together as we should be, as we were always meant to be.I don’t remember dreaming. The only thing that woke me was a searing

BastianThere’s nothing like being an errand boy on your first day on the job. Conner scowled at the letter pulling at his chin hairs.“She’s really sick? Or does she just want your cousins to herself?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at me.“To be honest she gave us a scare, and she's been bedridden for days.” it wasn’t a lie per se but the real explanation I didn’t have. All I knew was the house stunk of sex and she had most definitely given Wyatt and Beau the scare of their lives. They said she was changing, but they weren’t sure exactly how. She’d already become a wolf, what other changes could there be? Witchy stuff I presumed. Something along the lines of what happened to her after breaking the curse or how she floated into our territory unconscious and completely changed our lives for the better. So I’d overlook her— ‘faults.’“I suppose it’s none of my business, just do me a favor and stay away from the troublemakers or she will have my head. I didn’t know what kind of trouble he

BriI was dozing comfortably, surrounded by our mingling scents when some sort of awareness woke in my mind. I sat up stretching my senses out and found someone foreign passing the territory lines. The wolf and I growled as one in my mind. I began searching for some sort of clothing. Boy shorts it was and one of the guys button-downs that I had taken to New Orleans with me. I didn’t even bother to button it. Thank Goddess for Zoey bringing a bag with her the last time or I’d have nothing to wear not that I minded being naked. But for the boys' sake and whomever was showing up on our doorstep I wasn’t giving them a free show.“Bri, someone is coming,” Wyatt’s voice echoed in my mind. The sound of a boat approaching the dock had my full attention.“They’re already here,” I growled in return.“Shit.”“Maybe it’s Mabel?” I offered..“I don’t think so. Stay inside.” His voice was strained and distraught. A knock came at the door and I stood stock still in the hallway outside Beau’s bedroom

ZoeyHearing from Bri had been just what I needed. Andrew and Trent were annoyingly distracting and this was something that would keep me occupied in her absence. A purpose. And it was my forte. Digging into people’s business has always been something I enjoyed. There was only so much I could do at the mansion without Bri here. To be honest, I missed fretting after her, but I knew she was in the best of hands. She had suffered too long, and those three needed each other. I didn’t know how this would work in the long run. She had admitted the same before she left. Love, though, always had a way, no matter what obstacles stood before it. Deep in my heart, I was a hopeless romantic.I wanted to know all that had happened, but I didn’t ask; she’d tell me when she was ready. I had my laptop open, hacking into a well-shielded wall in the Duncan Enterprises firewall, trying to dig up more about the woman than just her phone number. I’d have a pretty file waiting for Bri when we met up, or if
