Part 1

When you’re struck by lightning, the joules of energy that run through your body can be lethal. With a direct lightning strike, your body becomes part of the main lightning discharge channel. One portion of the current moves along just over the skin, known as a flashover, whereas another portion of the current moves through your body, inflicting unspeakable damage, and sometimes death.The heat emitted by lightning is 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That is five times hotter than the surface of the sun and, with a direct hit, you suffer heart asystole and respiratory arrest. Both happened to me. My heart stopped for five minutes and I was jolted back to life by the paramedics.When I got struck by lightning, something else happened;while it didn’t hurt at all, it did leave a permanent Lichtenburg figure on me, which never went away. I was a medical mystery. It also awakened something in me that was beyond anyone’s imagination, including my own.My name is Alex Jennings and I was 17 when

Part 2

I was sitting on his couch, comfortably stretching my legs out in front of me, when the man stepped into his living room, not even realizing I was there. It always amazed me how people all thought they were untouchable.“Good morning, Solomon. How would you prefer to die today?” He jumped at the sound of my voice.“Who the hell are you, and how did you get into my house?” he asked me as he looked around. His anger amused me.“You have a few options available to you,” I said as he turned towards the wall-mounted phone.“I’m calling the cops, you freak show,” he said, and I smiled.“Unfortunately, your phone’s out of order,” I said to him as he picked the phone up and listened; there was no dial tone. I stood up and walked towards him, grabbing him by his neck as he started to run.“My name is Kifo, and today, I will send you back to Hel,” I said to him, as I pushed him back towards the couch and he sat down.“You are one crazy motherfu …” he began to say, but his voice faltered as I to

Part 3

I had never been confident or cocky, or even really funny, but my personality changed the day I died, and I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. I had a purpose and I would complete it, it was as easy as that. The gun and silencer had been a gift. So was the knife I carried on the inside of my boot. The biggest and most expensive gift I had received was my Kawasaki Ninja H2.As I thought more about what I wanted to do, another thought occurred to me … somehow, I had to make money while doing this. So from that point on, after I had eliminated my targets, I also stole all their money, rerouting it through five different banks, and into an offshore account.My mother was a doctor and she worked long hours. Sometimes I wouldn’t see her for two days in a row. When that happened, I would stop at the hospital, and sometimes, if I was lucky enough to catch her in a non-busy moment, we’d have dinner or lunch in the cafeteria, and other days, when she was busy with patients, I’d leave a message

Part 4

I was still 17, and it was about three months after I got struck by lightning. Most people still stared at me or whispered behind my back, and I just didn’t feel up to going through all the motions again. After the second period, I ditched school and went home.I opened the kitchen door and looked at the man leaning against the counter, clearly waiting for the kettle to boil. I had no idea who he was but he was comfortable enough in my house to help himself.“Hello, Alex,” he said.“Who are you?” I asked him. I could smell that he was a wolf. He was barefoot and he only wore a pair of jeans. I couldn’t quite figure out the expression on his face but it felt like he was looking right through me.“I’m Levi, a friend of your mother’s,” he said, as we stared at each other.“More like a friend with benefits,” I said.“Watch your mouth, kid,” he said, and turned around as the kettle finally boiled. He had an interesting Zeta tattoo on his back with the mark of an Alpha. I didn’t recognize i

Part 5

Levi kept his word and so did I. I kept my grades up and I followed his exercise plan which was rigorous. I started jogging ten miles a day. He sent me self-defense videos, videos on assembling firearms, and reading material on psychology.He sent me studies on gunshot residue, fingerprints, and behavioral studies that the FBI used. I had no idea how he’d gotten his hands on that, but I studied it like my life depended on it. Levi pushed me hard but I pushed myself harder.When he was in Boulder, we would go deep into the woods and he would teach me how to fight, how to handle a knife, and he taught me how to shoot. I was a fast learner and I did him one better. I jogged twelve miles a day and I spent about four hours a day practicing alone. He brought me a wooden dummy on one of his visits and after three months, I broke the first one.For my eighteenth birthday, Levi visited us in Boulder and he brought his daughter, Tala, with him. He spoke of her often and by the time I met her, i

Part 6

The trip was soothing to my soul. I was determined, I had a plan to follow and I’d always liked planning everything. The solitude and the roar of my bike’s engine kept me going. It felt almost exhilarating, knowing that soon I’d have the justice I’d been craving.I arrived in Sonoma just after nine p.m. and I stopped at the first diner I saw. It was partially full and I sat down at a table and called Thalia to tell her that I was still alive and she cried again. I had to hide my chuckle as she sniffed.“I’m just glad you’re alive,” Thalia said.“Why wouldn’t I be alive, Mom?”“You race around on that damn bike. Damn Levi,” she said and I chuckled.“Stop worrying so much. I’m fine and I’m really hungry. I might die of starvation if you keep on crying because I’m not hanging up until you stop,” I said and that earned me a chuckle from her.“Look after yourself and don’t have too much fun if you know what I mean,” she said and my ears reddened.“Now I’m really hanging up on you, crying o

Part 7

Mary Walker looked intently at me for a long time but I never broke eye contact with her. Her eyes were oddly magnetic and I could see the good in her soul. I could also sense that there was more to her than met the eye.“Where are you from, young man?” she asked me.“Los Angeles,” I said to her. The lie came easily because I still hadn’t figured out what Mary Walker was all about and until I did, I wouldn’t just give away information freely.“Are you here for the Battle of the Brews?” She asked me as Jules came down the stairs and looked from me to Mary Walker.“Hi Grandma,” she said and sat down next to her. “Morning Alex,” she said as she looked at me.“Hi Jules,” I said and Mary smiled at us. I saw the resemblance then. They had the same eyes.“Ah, you two have met,” she said with a smile.“I have to get to work,” Jules said as she stood up again and I watched her leave.“When is this battle of the brews?” I asked her and she smiled sweetly at me, like she’d won a prize.“It start

Part 8

The house was modern and I could tell that he had a good thing going on in Sonoma. The appliances were all top of the line, marble countertops, modern sofas and expensive paintings on the walls. He definitely had enough to go around.I made coffee for myself in Anthony Campbell’s kitchen. I had watched him for the past two days and he drove to the grocery store at the same time every day. Work always came first and I had a timeline to stick to. I had a few hours to kill before picking Jules up for our ‘date’.I made myself comfortable on the couch and I put the television on. I flicked between the channels and settled on watching some nature documentary about beavers. They lived in colonies and were the largest type of rodent that existed. I’d never thought of beavers as rodents. An hour later I heard the garage doors open and his car pulled inside.I put the cup down on the coffee table and smiled as I waited for him to walk through the glass doors. He wouldn’t see me at first becaus

Part 9

“Hi,” I said, feeling like an idiot for about five seconds before she smiled at me.“Hi,” she said and looked down briefly.Mary Walker had a secretive smile on her lips and mentally I slapped myself. This wasn’t a date. I was just helping her out to make her ex-boyfriend jealous. It was a stupid thing to do, but I felt like celebrating my victory, even if I was the only one that knew about it.“Have fun you two,” Mary said as I handed Jules a helmet. I had checked her Facebook and I knew what Henry Fisher looked like. He looked like an asshole, very much in love with himself, he rode off road scramblers, liked to take pictures of himself and I didn’t really get what Jules had seen in him.Jules and her grandmother were also wolves, the sort that kept to themselves, lone wolves like I was, and that worried me a bit because they would wonder about Anthony’s murder. Even lone wolves kept up with news about other packs.Jules put the helmet on as I got on the bike and started it. She cl

Part 10

We made it to a secluded spot at the fairgrounds before I had Jules pressed up against the side of a building. I couldn’t get enough of her taste and within seconds my hand was unzipping her jeans and my hand was inside her underwear.She bucked her hips against my fingers and I drove them deeper inside her. I could hear the voices of people further away in the parking lot, but at that moment, I didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was Jules in front of me.I kissed her the moment her orgasm started and only broke the kiss off when she stopped contracting around my fingers. We were both breathing hard and my erection was straining against my jeans, harder than ever before.“Alex,” she said, trying to calm her breathing. “I’m not going to have sex with you against the side of a building.”“No, you’re not,” I said and zipped her jeans back up. “Let’s go.”I woke up later than usual and I guessed it was about 7 AM. Jules was still asleep next to me and I smiled as I thought back to
