Mack followed Cody inside the house, Cody sat Mack’s bag down just inside the door. The cabin was smaller than it looked from the outside. “Here’s da living room, that there is da kitchen, down da hall on ya left is da bedroom and on ya right is the bathroom. I ordered ya some fiddles, not sure what ya liked but I reckon it’ll be here about twenty minutes or so.” Cody says. “Thanks Cody, I appreciate it.” “Ya welcome.” Cody says sitting down on the couch. “I’ll be out ya hair as soon as Alpha gets here.” “You don’t have ta stay.” Mack tells him. “Yes I do, Alpha’s orders, says I am to keep ya company until he arrives. Honestly, I think he wants someone here in case trouble follered us.” “Well then, I guess you better stay.” “Yes sir.”
Just then, Alpha John pulled up followed by the food. Mack stepped out onto the porch, while Cody went to grab th
He opened the bathroom door to find a tub in the floor that was bigger than a king-sized bed. There were also seats in the tub, as you would find in the hot tub. ‘Matilda would love this.’ He thought as he turned on the water to fill it. The water was steaming hot and felt soothing on his tired sore muscles. Cody knocked on the door and waited, after several minutes he opened the door to an eerie quiet house. After setting the groceries in the kitchen, he went and tapped on the bedroom. No answer, he checked the knob to find it empty. He turned and to knock on the bathroom again no answer. He checked the knob to find the door locked. He started to beat on the door. He pushed off the bedroom door to bust the door down with his shoulder. Mack opened the door just before Cody could connect running past Mack and falling into the tub. Mack, after assuring Cody was ok, buste
“Beta Ashur, Ashur” Felan says in a soft voice and gently shaking the Beta awake. “The Moon Goddess says we can go now.” Ashur shakes his head before replying in a calm voice, “Let’s get out of here.” The three of them got into a truck and headed out. “Don’t take the back roads. Stay on the major highways. I-5 to I-90. Then take I-15.” Felan says. “I-15 is way out of the way, are you sure?” Ashur asked. “Yes, the Moon Goddess said it would be the safest route.” Felan tells him. “Alright, then get comfortable because it is going to be a long ride.” Ashur says with a sigh. After about 5 hours Ashur needed to stop. He was getting ready to pull onto the exit, when Felan shouted; “NO, keep going at least 10 more miles, then we can stop.” “Ok you’re the navigator.” Ashur said. The trip had been quiet until then. As they passed the gas station Keyne could see his mom standing next to a pump. “Ashur, its mom.” He said. Ashur looked over and saw the former Luna get in a vehicle and
“Okay but go right at the end of the exit. Three miles down there will be a road on your left. The road leads to an abandoned cabin. We will be safe there.” Felan says. “Say thank you to the Moon Goddess for me.” Ashur says turning back around. Before he can pull back on the road Felan tells him, “She knows, and she has a message for you when we get to the cabin.” Shaba walked into the gas station and was hit by a familiar scent. She at once recognized Ashur’s scent and knew he had been here. She calmly walked up to the store clerk and asked him if he had seen anyone pictured on the wall behind him. The clerk said, “No, only a little girl, some of the locals, an elderly couple and several college students.” “Do you have any cameras?” Shaba asked. “Just the one behind my head here.” “Can I take a look at today’s video log?” “I am sorry ma’am, but unless
“Ash, the man said lowering the 12 gauge, oh I am so happy to see you.” Jake said running to him to give him a hug. Ashur hugged him back and when he pulled away a look of surprise came across his face. “Oh, where are my manners; here put this on.” Jake said throwing Ashur some sweatpants. “Uncle Jake as much as I am happy and surprised to see you, I need your help. There are some rogues who are after me and …” Ashur started but was interrupted by Jake. “I know, I got a post card from an unknown sender. Looked like a child had written it. I threw it out once, but it showed back up. I burned it once and it still came back. Figured I better take it serious after that one.” “Really what did the card say?” Ashur asked. Jake pulled out the card and handed it to Ashur. “Get cabin ready, Ash in trouble, will ne
Soon after Jake decided he was going to get some sleep as well after he informed the other Alpha of his guest. Ashur told him goodnight and waited until his uncle disappeared up the stairs. Ashur then tried to mind-link Nezerra but got no response. The mind-link felt weird like something was blocking him. He pulled out his phone but no signal. Ashur took watch while the other three slept. At 3 am. Jake appeared on the porch with a cup of coffee at the same time Ashur was coming out of the woods. “The other Alpha doesn’t have a problem with you guys staying here and we both agreed you can stay for as long as you need.” Jake informed Ashur. “Thanks for everything Uncle Jake.” “I’ll take over watch, you go get some rest.” Jake said. Ashur nodded and headed inside. He crawled into the sleeping bag and fell asleep at once. Jake
“I have been watching you Ashur for a while now. You are very loyal and protective of those in your life. I appreciate you blindly trusting Felan. She is very special.” Rhiannon said. “Well it is hard to not to trust a child that saves your life more than once.” Ashur replied. “I am going to show a glimpse of your future. This may not make sense at first. Hold out your hands and close your eyes.” Ashur held out his hands and closed his eyes. He felt Rhiannon place something in his hand before touching his forehead. Instantly he was transported to an open field. A little boy and girl running towards him. At first he thought it was Felan and Keyne but as the two got closer he realized they were not. “Mommy, Daddy is home.” The little girl said. The boy ran and jumped into Ashur’s arms. “Daddy your back.” He said giving Ashur the biggest hug he had ever received.
John came back from his run still in his wolf form. John’s wolf was mostly black with a hint of grey. Mack came out on the porch and threw John his clothes as John’s wolf paced back and forth. “Can you please give John back control we have much to discuss?” Mack asked as the wolf picked up the clothes and walked to the side of the house. A few minutes later John reappeared fully clothed. “Aaliyah called and said she was coming later tonight.” Mack told him. John nodded. “In the meantime I have a few phone calls to make. I have a friend out west who was sold. The guy who bought him gave him a life. I will see if he has heard anything or if he can do some digging himself.” Mack said retreating back into the house. John hesitated before following Mack and asked. “Wait, you know someone in the
“Until the next full moon.” Mack said as he started the truck and pulled away. He phoned Ashur. “Hey, Ashur I am coming with about 50 specially trained men.” Mack tells him. “That is good news. How soon before you get here?” Ashur asked. “About three maybe four days. Less if I don’t run into any issues along the way.” Mack tells him. “That will have to do.” Ashur says. Ashur tells him about Nezerra refortifying the territory. Ashur never once mentioned Felan being there while they talked. “What about you what did you need help with?” Ashur asked him. “I was just looking for some information. We can discuss it more after we deal with your issue.” Mack tells him. Mack hangs up pulling off to refuel and grab a bite. He decided to go ahead and call Geraldine. He dialed the number but a voice mail in
