His Distant Human Mate 66
"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Veronica asked as she lounged across Alpha Evander's settee. Usually, she was the one who reached out. Although it was out of character she was not opposed to a redo to their last encounter. "Alpha Arden and his Luna stopped by for a visit and chat the other day," Alpha Evander did not want to waste time around words. The quicker she could get information from her, the quicker he could get her underneath him. He had some make-up to do. Veronica stilled and stared at Evander. "What did they want?" she asked. "So, you know them?" Alpha Evander asked. He walked over to the mini bar that sat on the opposite side of the room. "I know of them, yes," Veronica said slowly. Why on Earth would those two come here? "How do you know them?" Veronica asked her own question this time. "I had the pleasure of meeting them while they were traveling back to their own pack," Alpha Evander said. His back was to Veronica. She thought for a moment. They would have no id
His Distant Human Mate 67
A few weeks passed since Arden and Aurora had met with Alpha Evander. He had contacted Arden and let him know that he was still looking into things on his end but so far he was not able to come up with anything. Arden and Thor both had a feeling that he was not being as forthcoming, but see as they had no proof, Arden did not push the Alpha further. Arden and Rich along with Roger were working to find out anything more about the curse. Arden decided to write to the wolf council and see if they would be willing to share any information with him. Arden just had to be careful not to point suspicion his way. He had no plans to resurrect the pack but just to find out anything that might help Eli. He would reassure the council if needed. Aurora worked to get better acquainted with the pack and its members. She was working closely with the elementary school as well as the hospital to see where improvements could be made. Aurora had decided that she would pause her career for now. She was

Aurora helped Eli with his dinner plate. Tonight, Melody and the kitchen prepared a stew along with homemade rolls. Eli had wanted a large bowl and separate plate for his rolls. Aurora chuckled as he walked to the table, but always kept an eye on his full bowl that looked as though the stew was going to slosh over the rim at moment. "Are you sure you are going to be able to eat all of it?" Aurora asked when they finally reached the table. Rich and Roger chuckled as well when they saw how much the boy had. Eli nodded his head enthusiastically as he pulled out his chair and sat down to his feast. "He is a growing boy. Of course he can finish it," Arden said as he walked up behind Aurora and kissed her on the cheek. He winked at Eli and sat down on the other side of the child. "Sir, there is someone at the front gate. He is claiming to be from the wolf council," Arden received the mind link from one of the warriors that was posted at the territory front gate. He stilled at the menti

Aurora stood frozen in the middle of the office. She did not want to move. She did not want the world to move. Being frozen meant that the worst was not to come. Eli gripped her hand. She blinked and looked down at her son. His eyes were round and innocently looking up at her. Aurora could feel the moisture gathering in the back of her eyes. She blinked quickly and looked up at Arden. She did not want her son to see her cry. She did not want him to worry. He was still too young to understand what it was that was in store for him. Aurora squared her shoulders and looked at Charles. "Eli will not have the same fate as the man who fathered him," with that Aurora walked out of the office with Eli still gripping her hand. Charles looked back at Arden. His shoulders physically slumped. It was not easy to tell a mother that her son would soon be overtaken by a blind rage when he received his wolf. Arden was quiet. He had watched his mate leave. She was angry. He could feel it through thei

Aurora knocked lightly on Arden's office door. She knew that he and Charles were still inside. Charles opened the door and let the Luna back in. As Charles closed the door, he addressed Aurora, "I am sorry if I upset you earlier," he said as the door clicked shut. "There is no need to apologize. I am sorry that I reacted as I did. This whole situation of finding out about Cameron and what he had passed onto Eli is upsetting," Aurora said. Charles nodded in understanding and gave Aurora a small smile. "Understandable, Luna," he said. Arden and Charles picked their conversation back up and filled Aurora in on the information that was given. "They are really that close?" she asked surprised. Charles nodded in confirmation. "Witches are usually not the most forth coming lot," Charles said. He only had a handful of run-ins with witches most of which were not on the pleasant side. "Well, we cannot just walk up to their territory I assume," Aurora said. She was quickly learning that in

Veronica looked down at her transportation circle in the center of her room. Since she had never been to the Whispering Shadows Coven, she needed a circle to help her. She felt as though she had used this too often as of late. Between the Northern Pack and now the coven, she was traveling into untraveled territory, and something was telling her that it was going to bite her back soon. Veronica took a breath and said her incantation under her breath. In the next instant she was teleported into the darkness of the night. Veronica looked up at the old stone mansion that sat in front of her. Each window held a single burning candle. "Who are you?" a young woman came near. She wore a long black cloak. Veronica could almost laugh at the theatric of it all. "My name is Veronica. I have an Alpha who is wanting to meet with your head witch," she said. She knew that being here uninvited was a risk and needed to get her purpose out quickly. "What is the Alpha's name?" the girl asked. "

Arden sat at the patio table outside of the back door from the kitchen. Aurora and Eli were playing in the yard. Eli had wanted to show them a new game that one of the children had shown him at school. Arden chuckled as he watched Eli spin Aurora around in five circles with a blindfold over her eyes. Charles had left the next morning. He said that he was going back to the council to see what other information he could dig up for them. Arden and Aurora had thanked him for what he had been able to share with them so far. It would still be a few years before the curse showed its true form. Not that Arden wanted to wait but it was helpful that they had some time to find answers. "Alpha, there is a witch in your office," Rich's mind link cut through his thoughts. Arden stood up from the metal chair in the next instant. Aurora and Eli were still playing outside. Arden decided to see this visitor before alerting Aurora. Arden walked to his office and pushed open the door. An older woma

Veronica woke up in a pool of her own sweat. The nightmares had started after her visit to the Whispering Shadows Coven. Veronica reached for the water in the glass that she had left on her dark wooden nightstand. The room was still pitch black from her blackout curtains and the fact that it was still nighttime outside of her window. "What the hell is going on?" Veronica whispered to herself after she had placed the glass back on the table. She drew her knees to her chest and sat against the pillows that pushed against the headboard. She stared at nothing in particular in the room. Her mind replayed the dream that had caused her sudden wakefulness. Veronica had been standing over a man. He had been naked and laid out across the bed. She stood over him, her own body naked as well. She held a burning candle in her hands and slowly tipped the burning candle's wax across the man's chest. At first Vernonica thought her consciousness was playing out a scene from a movie, however she was
