Chapter 30

February 18, 2001She stood in the middle of the main meeting room of the EBEE London Headquarters, with Andrew to her right. She didn’t want to be there, she knew that it meant trouble. She focused on steeling her mind, harder than she ever had to, harder than she did when facing Lord Meozo. Her mind went to Frank, and she wondered if it wouldn’t be better to break up with him.She knew Princess Veronica could handle herself, but she didn’t want more trouble coming her way. She didn’t want more attacks on the royal vampire family and wondered if it was related to her.“Blue Thunder, it was brought to our attention that your contract with The Northerners had been renewed for another 3 years. Is that correct?” said Phraton.“Yes, it is correct. I made it clear to you that my flyball career wasn’t going to end after this season. I accepted to start an apprenticeship with the European Bureau of Elemental Energy on the condition that flyball would be my main focus. As stipulated in my cont

Chapter 31

April 11, 2001 – 10:00Stephanie McNally, Frank’s sister, had been working part-time at Healing Moon a clinic and trauma centre specializing in werewolf health, for the past few months. Located in a wooded area west of Mirabel, near Saint-Hermas, it was considered a neutral ground for werewolf packs and other clans of shifters. She worked there with her friend Clarissa.For the local population unaware of the supernatural world, Healing Moon was considered a trauma centre specializing in animal attacks. Locals would also bring their cats and dogs there for their regular checkups. Stephanie, however, knew better: two of her childhood friends were werewolves.She has known Clarissa and Lily since elementary school, but found out the truth about what they were when going on a camping trip with them at 12. Clarissa knew that Stephanie was considering a career as a veterinarian and wasn’t afraid of werewolves, so she got her a job at Healing Moon.She entered the clinic to start her shift a

April 11, 2001 – 11:05“Yes, definitively,” said Coralis, looking at Emma and Jessica. “We’ll also check you both. Anyone else got injured by your patient?”Emma and Jessica shook their head, and Coralis examined them both.“No. Owil arrived here last night and passed out as soon he walked through the front door. He didn’t wake up until this morning,” said Jessica.“I don't think neither of you got infected, but we'll check again once we know what we're dealing with.”“I smelled Turmeric on both patients, think we’re dealing with coven witches?” said Eva, sniffing the air toward Emma and Jessica. “I’m not smelling it on them.”“We’re dealing with something worse. Coven witches might have a hand in this, but there is something else at play. Owil’s connection to his wolf was cut off as if someone highjacked it, wanting to summon and control his wolf. We’ll need to run some tests to determine what he’s been injected with. Whatever this is, it's still cooking in Wilson’s system, and it has

April 11, 2001 – 12:10“Human lore would refer to me as a kind of witch, but it’s not what I am. I am a type of elemental being. A mage, to be precise.”“A mage? Wait, so a witch and a mage aren’t the same thing? Ooh, I remember Jessica mentioning elementals a few times, but I never understood what she meant.”“Yes, I’m a mage, and it's indeed not the same thing. Most mages find it offensive to be called witches. Personally, I don’t care even if I hate the majority of witches. The way we use our inner energy and call for it is different, but even within the supernatural world, people don’t know the difference.”“Daaamn! Wait… can I say that or is damn a word I should avoid using? I’m sorry, I thought I was knowledgeable about that world, but clearly, I'm not. I remember when you saved my mom’s life a few months ago, but this explains so much, and why Frank doesn't know much about what you do. Can you fight like that because of what you are or it’s a skill you developed?”Coralis chuckl

April 11, 2001 – 12:55As soon as they walked into the clinic, Emma gestured for Coralis to follow her.“I gave him enough sedatives to keep him out cold for hours, but it’s already wearing off,” said Emma, as Coralis removed her eyeglasses and slid them into her coat.Coralis followed her to Owil’s room and saw him fighting his restraints. Sensing his wolf wanting to come out and struggling, she rushed to him, brought her left hand to his chest and stared into his eyes. A light glow was seen coming out of her and everyone in the room gasped. Gradually, the patient calmed down and fell asleep.“Someone tried to summon his wolf. It was weird,” said Coralis.She removed her hand from his chest but kept staring into his eyes.“How is it even possible?” said Emma.“I know that demons and some mythical beings can be summoned, but I’ve never heard of a werewolf, or even of a Lycan, who could be summoned,” said Jessica.“That’s what we will find out when Eva comes back. I think I know what th

June 22, 2001Stephanie went with her coworkers for dinner and drinks after work. Emma’s pack was based in Saint-Jerome, a city near their workplace, so they went to The Wooded Tavern, a restaurant bar located right outside of her pack-land. The establishment looked like a bungalow and sat at the end of an off-road that was hard to notice from the main road because of the dense forest hiding its entry: people had to know where to look.Despite being operated by werewolves, local vampires would sometimes hang out there, and The Northerners’ team members enjoyed going there once in a while when they didn’t want to be interrupted by fans or journalists.“It’s Friday night, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in no rush to go home. Wanna go to The Wooded Tavern?” said Steven, one of their defenders.“I’d be down for that. Frank is working tonight, and I didn’t get called by any agency for a case or a meeting,” said Coralis.“All right, that’s a plan then. Are you coming with us, Sebastian

June 29, 2001 – 14:51Coralis was at her flyball practice, one of the last ones of the season. When she would be up in the sky during a flyball game or practice, she’d usually leave her hologram on the ground or in the locker. However, she was expecting a call from Eva, regarding the ghoul case they had been working on the previous week, so she kept it on her.The practice was almost over. She stood on the ground, in the middle of the field, listening to Brono’s briefing. She felt her hologram vibrating and pulled it out of her cloak. She walked away from the group to answer it.“Can you come pick me up at metro Henri-Bourassa? Healing Moon is requesting our presence,” said Eva.“Healing Moon? Right now?”“General Tobly wanted to send me and Emery there, but Healing Moon insisted on you and me. High Fay Ellya agreed because it involved ghouls, and, well, it could be related to what we had been working on last week in Grenville. She warned them that it could take longer because you were

June 29, 2001 – 16:20Coralis and Eva looked at each other. Emma turned around and walked to the locked door leading to the patient and examination rooms.“What did you do with the blue marble?” said Coralis before turning her attention to Sebastian. “How were the wards? Have they been compromised?”“Couldn’t find anything wrong with the wards. The ward setup is quite intricate, you’re the one who did them, right?” said Sebastian.“Yes, I have done them recently,” said Coralis, then turned her attention back to Emma, holding the door. “Does your pack have any type of ward setup around your pack land?”“I know we had, but I’m not sure anymore. After what happened 2 months ago, with the fays trying to summon wolves, I advised Alpha Collins to look into them, but I don’t know if he did. As for the blue marble, I believe Jessica still has it on her. We kept it, figuring it’d probably be something you’d want to see.”“Don’t we love these blue marbles?” said Eva, rolling her eyes.Coralis ch

August 3, 2001Coralis sat on her inn’s bed on a Friday night, her back against the wall. She arrived in Glasgow the previous night to work a case alongside her mentor Andrew and some other EBEE agents. They wanted to go out for a few drinks in town, but she decided to stay in their room and take advantage of her time alone to call Frank.She always refused to use the satellite function on her hologram to call him as she saw it as an unnecessary risk. Gus gave her a code that she could dial from any landline phone or payphone to make the call untraceable.“Hey!” she said when he picked up the call.“Hey! Just as I was losing hope!”“Losing hope? Am I that bad?”“Depends,” said Frank, softly laughing, “when will I get to take you out for your birthday? You know that I’m getting a car tomorrow, so I’m also looking forward to showing it to you and taking you places.”“I'm not sure when I'll be in town. Don't worry about my birthday, I don't particularly care about it. It's just a day in t

October 20, 2001“Are you going to be able to pass by later?” said Frank, speaking on the phone with Coralis.He stood on the back porch of his mother’s apartment. His sister Stephanie had just arrived with Sebastian, and they were still waiting for his brother Raymond. They wanted to do something for their mother’s birthday without their extended family, so the siblings agreed to meet at her apartment for lunch.“I don’t know, I’m still in Winnipeg with Eva. I’ll call you before I leave, but I have no idea when this meeting will end. I’m not even supposed to be here but for some reason, the elders here are requesting my presence. For how long will you be at your mom’s?”Coralis stood by a payphone in the middle of a shopping plaza. Eva was beside her. She was still refusing to use the satellite phone mode on her hologram to call Frank, to ensure that none of her elders could ever intercept her calls to him. It was lunchtime, so they decided to go to a human town nearby to grab some ju
