All Chapters of Honor in the House of Wolves: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

We were put up in rooms with our groups still, they seemed reluctant to change too much it would seem especially after last night. The shadow followed me through the halls never leaving me. When I walked into the main shower area I could feel him on the other side of the curtain still. It was certainly the longest we had ever been together and I was starting to think maybe it was permanent. “Can you hear me?” I whispered hoping the sound of the rushing water and the echoing fan would provide enough cover for us to talk. “I can hear you.” He answered. “Why are you still here?” I kept my voice low and hoped I had waited long enough so that everyone else was already asleep. “I told you. I’m not leaving you until I find you. We’re so close I can feel it.” “Do you have Dara Friese?” “I don’t know who that is.” “My counsellor,” I growled, then had to stop myself quickly from raising my voice. “You’re a fae right?” I saw the shadows twisting closer beneath the shower curtain.

The shadow was gone. I figured it was just a figment of my imagination anyway. A coping mechanism at best that helped me get through that ordeal. The blue eyes would always stay with me but I just accepted when he didn’t show back up it was just a psychotic episode from the barrier’s radiation. It was fine with me at least I knew he had helped me through it.When I first joined back up with Dreyma and Sage after the transformation we took a look at eachother and were pleasantly surprised. Our new bodies were ready to fight this war behind enemy lines and we couldn’t wait to show off our complete powers. Dreyma had the most striking change. Her arms were longer and her nails were pure black. She showed me she was able to change her arms into black feathered wings and her eyesight was impeccable now. She could point out a field mouse fifty yards away. Speckled throughout her red hair to contrast her natural tones she had black feathers. Even her nose was slightly beak shaped. Sage loo

I jumped to the side putting my fists up, clenched so tight my claws nearly dug into my skin. I wasn’t prepared for how sharp they were and I winced slightly from the shock of pain. Facing this new arrival whose voice was low, dark, strange and yet familiar and playful my was out of my element. Overpowering the males I faced was ever my strong suit couple that with the very real fact this could have been a fae I was going to meet my end quickly. “Who’s there?” I called, my voice nearly cracked at the thought of what it could have been. “You first.” He cracked a smile so his sharp teeth shined in the darkness but that wasn’t the only thing shining. Those eyes… No. I had to do a double-take. Blue eyes that were the only thing that shined in the shadows. He was real, the man from my dreams. Could this had really been him? Stepping closer to me his features now became far easier to distinguish. He was similar to me, his clothes a bit more ragged. His scent it was slightly foul though, n

“Ashai?” I heard Sage’s sweet voice as she emerged, her hands raised as she commanded the vines wrapped around Nok’s wrists.“Step back!” Dreyma glared, making her landing from the darkness, “Are you okay?”“Now there’s someone a sight you don’t see every day.” Nok smiled, looking between the three of us, “I didn’t harm her. Your little pet project is safe and sound.”Sage was the one to answer, which was how we were trained. The lesser blood speaks to the prisoners. “You’ll keep quiet until spoken to.” I didn’t know where she produced that warning from, but I believed her. She had surprised me a fair few times through the years. We all knew when she focused, she was a substantial threat. “Ashai, you’re really okay?” Dreyma kept checking me all over as if I were some precious cargo that couldn’t afford a single scratch. Then again, we were switching mind frames. If I didn’t make it their mission as dead on arrival. “We saw a group get taken and fear the worst.”Reassuring her I laid

“Me?” I looked behind me just in case someone else had appeared and was waiting to just make a dramatic entrance. I didn’t know where we were, Sage was meant to know more about plants than any of us. She certainly was the only one who knew this forest was more than a forest. He nodded, “Windtouched right?” Of course he fucking knew that, the shadow man knew it so why not him? “You can shift the scents through the air and find the pathway.” Dreyma let him go allowing him to straighten himself, “I would say you should already know how to do it, but it seems like you’re so of the least prepared out of everyone who’s crossed that barrier.” “What?” I snapped. “Oh come on, you honestly think you were succeeded in convincing me you were actual fae?” We grew pale at the thought. Nok had known all along? How? Why had he been playing us this whole time too? Was this just really some sick game? I guess it was only a matter of time before the true fighting began. Here’s hoping he recalled al
