Cato said, “They had Jess until Elias helped her escape and they still have her parents. I spoke to their leader on the phone and he’ll kill them if we don’t hand Milly Megestanis over at dusk tonight.” My smile dropped as I paused, the corkscrew half in the champagne bottle. Cato had been Alpha less than an hour. Forty-one minutes, to be precise. And our enemies were already pouring in. There go my plans with Ella tonight. “They want Milly Megestanis? Why? Who are they?” “He never said his name, but he said he’s an old friend of yours,” Elias said. I furrowed my eyebrows. “What did he look like?” “Tall, dark hair, dark eyes, kind of old... well, your age.”

A real, deep belly laugh that made his shoulders shake. “Oh my God,” he said, turning back to me, still chuckling. “That’s Derek. Derek from the gym.” I blinked. “You know him?” “Yeah.” He wiped at his eye, grinning. “We play pickup basketball on Saturdays. He’s a personal trainer over at Elite Fitness. Does this gig every year for extra holiday cash. Apparently the tips are insane.” I stared at the stage, then back at him. The resemblance really was uncanny from a distance, same height, same broad build, same salt and pepper thing going on.

~0~ The car ride to Illinois was one filled with awkward silence and tension. Dawn, who’d decided to come along to the funeral in order to give her friend some support, tried to strike up a conversation a few times but Lena barely responded. So the young witch lapsed into silence and looked out of the window, watching the landscape rush by. It was only when they got to a motel that Lena said something. “I’m sorry”, she said quietly.

She bowed her head and stammered her way through the explanation of their activities with an air of someone terrified of being severely punished. “And you?” Dave turned to the defiant wolf before him, “What have you to say? What happened?” Dave considered the man before him, trying to remember his name while they awaited his answer, he had a feeling the man’s name was Mac, but since he had had over 150 names to learn in the past few weeks he didn’t want to voice it incase he got it wrong.

“I don’t know why you’re friends with him. He’s weird. ” “How is he weird?” “Just look at him.” Fernando keeps running but I keep staring at Eduardo. As I approach him, he gives me a shy look and fake smiles. “Did you see the Age of Ultron trailer?” I ask. “Yeah. It looks awesome. I can’t believe Ironman and Hulk are going to fight.” “Yeah but Hulk is definitely being controlled.” “Obviously. By Scarlett Witch.” “How do you know?” “I just know.” There’s a small pause.

I glanced at Williams, who remained silent, as if in pain. "It's nothing, Dean. A friend of mine came to visit, and I was happy about it all." Dean looked at Henry, who smiled and extended his hand for a shake. "Hi, my name is Henry, and I'm from the Lycan pack. I used to be a beta to Williams here, but I guess my rights have been taken away." I observed how Dean shook hands with Henry, then turned his attention back to me. "You need to rest, Sierra. You know I don't like seeing you this way."

"I didn't want you to find out this way." "Well, I did." I scoffed again. "You even told him that your name is Camila. Why the fuck would you even do that?" "Because I don't want him to know I'm Delilah! I don't want him to find out that I am his assistant's daughter."

Luna Claudia nodded in response and she shook her head, snapping herself out of whatever she was thinking. “You are right about that one,” Luna Claudia said, and Mario wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her to his chest. He looked at Ezra who was standing on the windowsill from the outside, staring out at the people. It was a habit that he often had, a trick that he taught me whenever he wanted to run was to jump out of these heights, and though I knew that I might never be as good as he was, I knew that he was impressed by how fast I learned. But then again, having a father like mine, despite not telling me who he was, I was still forced to train, athletically at least.

"You look stronger. The sickness has started?" I looked at him in shock, my hand unknowingly reaching over to cover my belly. “You knew? You knew that this would happen?” A thin smile spread on his face. It wasn't evil, just full of a wild certainty. "It was always a possibility. A very welcome one." “Who are you?” I managed to say, voicing out the words from my mouth loud, my voice shaking with anger and fear. “My name is Kael. I am the Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack,” he said.

“Ms. Green,” I looked up from my computer immediately after hearing Mr. Mávros’, my boss’ voice. He didn’t even wait for my response because before I could speak, “I need the Milan files at seven a.m. tomorrow.” Mr. Devin Carlo Mávros, also known as the Devil, has been my boss for three years, and as his P.A., I knew better than to make reasons with him, but not tonight. I have a date.
