Chapter 29 - Hannah
I finally started coming back to reality, and I can tell that it is still dark outside. My eyes flutter open and I don’t recognize my surroundings. Super. The room I am in is small, but it looks like it belongs to a teenage girl. Posters are hung on the wall, a small desk across from the bed I am on has books stacked on one side, and papers scattered over the top. The smell of dust and time fills my senses and there are big wooden block letters hanging on the door telling me that I am in Mara’s room.
“You’ve GOT to be kidding me.” I say to myself knowing exactly where I am, but I don’t have any idea how I got here. I jump out of the bed and storm toward the door. I go to wretch it open, I’m angry, but its locked. I move to go out of the window and discover that they have bars installed on them now. Who the fuck does this woman think she is? She has got a lot of nerve.&n

Detective Small, I learned while in Dallas, is nothing short of a psychopath. His partner Detective Ryan was a good person who put trust in him as her partner, and it got her killed. His talent for pinning murders on members of society he deems to be unworthy was horrifying. I approached Detective Ryan with some information and hoped that she would take it seriously.I’m guessing she shared the information I provided her with him, because the next morning I discovered that she had been killed in what seemed to be a tragic accident. I suspected that it was Small that had been corrupt but I wasn’t sure. I knew there must have been something in the information that connected him to the crimes, and Detective Ryan must have figured it out.My contact found evidence that someone in their department was doctoring reports, intimidating, and killing witnesses, and a laundry list of things to get a false conviction on several cases
Hannah Chapter 31 - Mr. Grayson
When he senses my presence, I see his certainty that I am a threat to his mate. It is evident in his fight to maintain control of his wolf. When I tell him that I don’t intend any harm to his mate I am being sincere. I imagine that he believes that I am taunting him, but I have other things in mind for her. She believes that I am telling the truth and told him such. She is right there are more pressing matters than some basic hunger that her blood ignites in the very nature of a vampire, and I have walked the earth nearly two centuries. I suppose I can’t blame him for his own instinct to protect her. The history of the relationship between our species’ is at best volatile. I watch as she does her best to calm him, and I have to say that I am in awe at her strength. It’s not a physical strength it’s something within her very soul. I will certainly be pooling some resources to find out what I can about her. I

I fought like hell to get back to my family, but the lengths my cruel father-in-law was willing to go to, just to make me disappear were more than I could overcome. Old magic, ancient and pure was the only thing that saved my son and me that day. I learned much about myself while I was away from my family. The timing of my birth was used as a distraction to overthrow my father, one of the great fae Kings. My mother, father, and three older siblings were murdered by an uncle who coveted my father’s position. If it were not for the actions of a brave young maiden named Charlotte who took me and switched me with a human child who had been still born, I would have also been killed that day. In retrospect, growing up I always knew there was something wrong about the people that I knew as my parents. Curiosity got the best of me when I was a fourteen, sneaking into the file room during one of her many doctors’ visits I wasn’t

I’ve always been in tune with supernatural things, much to the dismay of my Aunt Julie and Uncle Greg. I can’t blame them, they always wanted a normal life for me, but that just isn’t in the cards for me. I guess I always knew there was something different about me I just didn’t realize that my experiences weren’t the status quo. The feelings, the visions, my ability to sniff out and thrust myself into dangerous situations without a second thought has always just been my normal. Therefore, I am constantly on the move. Always a good idea to disappear when you have, for a lack of a better term, a superpower. My spirit guide always tells me that I have to “haul ass before the bad guys try to exploit you and the good guys come to depend on you”. Uncle Greg says I am a nomad, always traveling, never in one place for long. When I get the itch to just get in the car and drive; I go. I always felt at peace when I was driv

You might not be able to tell by looking at me, but I am definitely not one of those macho guys. Don’t be confused. I am a man, and I do have a healthy amount of testosterone in my system. It’s just that, my lot in life put a lot of things in perspective for me at a young age. A traumatic loss, and subsequent circumstances really took a toll on my upbringing. I don’t have much family left, and I’m ready to find my mate.I have always known that she is out there, somewhere. An outsider looking into my world would call the concept antiquated or compare it the notion of an arranged marriage. I’m from a completely different world, one where supernatural things exist, and anything is possible. I just can’t deny that there is a pull, some sort of drive working to bring us together. I walk to the sliding glass door that opens to a view of the woods.Wondering if it is her, I

I make my way into the lobby of the next motel I see. Like so many times before, there is a nagging feeling that is telling me to stay. I ring the bell on the desk and a young woman of about 18 comes out of the office behind the desk.“Hello, ma’am, Staying for the night?” she asks. With her best customer service smile.“You have any rooms available for a week?” I ask. Why not, something compelled me to stay here so I might as well take my time figuring it out.“Sure thing, what brings you to our quaint little town?”, she asks. I get the feeling that people don’t just up and decide to stay for a week.“Not really sure.” I smile back at her. “There is definitely something comforting about a cozy little town isn’t there?” I tell her. A nod, then a pause, like she is listening to something. That was

“I’ve already told you, I don’t want it.” I growl in frustration at my uncle.“Gabe, your dad worked really hard to build relationships with the locals, and he would want you to continue his work.” He says. “Listen, I get that you felt like you had to step away from all of it. You didn’t have it easy with the crazy shit that happened to your parents but this is your home. Your rightful place is as Alpha of this pack." my uncle has been trying to keep the pack together hoping that I will take his place as the Alpha. "Just do me a favor and think about it ok.”He wasn’t wrong when he said crazy shit happened to my parents. My dad's death was just the final straw for me though. It all started with my mother.
