Return

I wake up to the rays of sunlight coming through the window, I snort and then change into

sports clothes. I leave myroom tying my hair and go straight to the kitchen where I

greet Aracely and prepare an orange juice after telling her tentimes that I don't

need it. I take some green grapes, my favorite. After breakfast I ask her for a sack and,

after looking atme strangely, she gives it to me. I leave the mansion realizing that

it's quite early and there's almost no one around sono one has noticed the bodies. I put

the bloodsucker as I can inside the bag.

- Where are you going? - I turn around looking at Kilian.

- I'm going to return the order, I didn't like it - I speak slyly. By the way, tell

the alpha about the guard - he nods and turnsto go back to the mansion. I transform and

grab the bag with my teeth. I start running and I get all the looks from theguards as I

leave the herd. I keep running until I reach some ruined buildings where there are

usually some vampires. Idrop the sack and turn around to go back to King Moon.

- What is this - a voice behind me makes me stop. I turn around.

- Something for Acheron, a gift or rather a return- I turn around again and transform

to start running again, this timetowards the herd. After receiving stares and whispers

from the guards I reach the mansion. I hear some voices in thehall so I head that way.

- A guard has been found dead in front of the mansion. Does anyone know what

happened?-The Alpha has everyone inthe hall except Annabeth. I notice Kilian's stare.

I snort.

- Last night there was a bloodsucker looking out of a tree, it was full of blood and

on the ground was the guard. I chased him and killed him- I shrug.

-And now where is he?

- I returned the vampire to Acheron- I shrug my shoulders.

- Do you know who he is?- asks the Beta. I deny.

- He is the king of the vampires- they both look at me seriously, I shrug my shoulders.

- Acheron is up to something and making him angry will make it worse- the Alpha nods

in agreement to his Beta.

- I'll stay for a while- I say catching everyone's attention, Laila smiles happily

at me. The boys are quite happy.

- It would be best if Mason got here first- Laila talks to the Alpha, he nods and

leaves with the phone in hand.

-Let's go- Sean calls to us and the whole group sets off and I follow them until

we reach a training area. We start running as a group while the guys talk to

each other. After running five kilometers we start with some hand to handfights.

-Very good training- I say as we walk towards the mansion.

I go straight to my room where I take a shower and put on something comfortable, when

I get out of the bathroom I cross my arms when I see the situation.

- What are you all doing here- they all look at me like little angels from my bed

and William from the desk chair. I roll myeyes and sit down on the floor.

- We want to hear from you- Sean puts his head in his hands looking at me.

- Don't expect too much- I shrug.

- Where are you from?- Darrel is the first to ask.

- That pack no longer exists - I shrug - although I was banished so it doesn't count.

- What is your other half? - Kilian looks at me intrigued. Everyone's eyes are

focused on me.

- Demon - they look at me in astonishment and I find myself quite tense.

- Favorite color - I look at William and he smiles at me, he did it to change the

subject.

- Black- After spending two hours getting to know each other a little bit, I throw

them out of my room. They are very annoyingwhen they put their minds to it. Not five

minutes later Max shows up at the door for lunch. We go downstairs and aftergreeting

everyone I sit down.

- I have good news. Mason will be here tomorrow - the Alpha shows up and everyone

starts celebrating the return ofthis Mason guy. After eating that delicious meal I

go back to my room but I get a visit from a little girl named Annabeth.

We spend some time together and then I leave Annabeth with Laila and go for a walk.

I go back to the mansion once it gets dark, all the lights are off and no one can

be heard so I decide to go for a walk around the mansion. I start from thefirst floor

and then go up to the first floor. Small lights come in through the window creating

shadows as I pass. I look towards the stairs looking at the second floor. After some

hesitation I decide to go up. A hallway full of doors appears before me. But the only

thing I focus on is the smell of wet earth and good grass that reaches my nostrils.

I decide tofollow the smell which leads me all the way down to a black door.

- What are you doing here- I turn around and look into William's lilac eyes.

- Whose room is this- I ask without answering his.

- It's Mason's- he answers- why?- that's all I need.

- You're a witch, do you know of any potion that hides the smell?- I say walking

down the hallway towards the stairs todivert a little attention from the door.

- Yes- he looks at me strangely.

- Do you have it or not?- he sighs looking at me, I cross my arms.

- I have the ingredients, I just have to make it.

- And when could you have it done?

- It's urgent? - I nod and sigh again - let's go - he turns and starts walking,

I follow him and we go down to the first floor.

We enter in the last door of the corridor and we find ourselves in a library. We

continue to the back of the library wherethere is a door, he opens it and sees a

table full of things, old books and shelves all over the room. He approaches oneof

the shelves full of potions, ingredients... I close the door.

- Don't touch anything- I roll my eyes and lower my handaway from one of the shelves.

He begins to turn the pages of a large book on the table where he placed some

vialsearlier. Minutes later I watch as he stirs the ingredients in a stone bowl

creating a viscous blue-green colored thing, I wrinkle my nose. He pours the viscous

liquid into a transparent bottle. -Don't use it too often, it weakens you little

bylittle, you have to take only one teaspoon, it will last you a day per serving.

If you want the effect to disappear, you onlyhave to take this- he gives me a small

bottle with some herbs and some lilac flowers. -You won't tell me what you want it for,

will you?- I deny amused, taking both bottles.

- Thanks, by the way, how long will the bottle last?

- Fifteen days, it's dangerous to take it every day- he warns.

-I won't stay long either, I'll just make sure that nothing bad happens with Acheron

and I'll leave- After giving him a lastlook I leave to go back to my room. I look at

the jar again.

" You shouldn't do this" growls Irina, my she-wolf. I ignore her and put the two jars

away.

I let myself fall into the arms of Morpheus.
