Michael sniffed his alpha scent around a big tree by the river. It suddenly dawned on him that only Dean could be the pass to Bianca, whether she was alive or dead. He had to convince him to stand by his side.“Dean!” Michael growled, scaring the birds off the branches. When they left, not even a single crash distorted the silence.“Dean!" He howled at the top of his lungs, disregarding any risk of being heard by others, including his enemies.The tension piled up, he knew that something was about to happen.“You’re not going to let go of it, right?”His moves were soundless - Dean suddenly appeared in front of Michael’s eyes. He was huge - the biggest werewolf ever seen in this part of the world.“You mustn’t trust Stacy too much. He didn’t save Bianca selflessly, or at least tried. He has a plan, but I don’t know yet what it looks like.”The moment of hesitation that followed those words made it clear - Dean, despite his mightiness, treated every single word coming from Michael’s li
The Moon hang in the black sky like a gate to a different world. Samuel stared at it with an unyielding urge to howl all the pain out of his chest. The longer he was apart from Bianca, the more obvious it was to him that Bianca was his only mate.“Buddy…” suddenly a voice from behind turned to him. “Dean is on our side. I managed to convince him.”Samuel restrained his sorrow and looked at Michael - not so long ago, an opponent of his.“Good. When am I going to see Bianca?” He asked with a resolved voice.“Did Stacy contact you?”The whole plan was to make Stacy and Jig believe that Samuel didn’t even suspect that an ambush was being set up for him.“Today at dawn. We are supposed to meet at Dervel’s backyard.”“Good,” said Michael with radiating eyes.“Before you go there, first you have to meet Dean. And convince him that you are married to Bianca. Just take the proof. I believe you’ve got somewhere the marital contract. You need to show him. With Dean on our side, Stacy has no chan
A red flag flew over the entrance, deprived of any door. The wind could easily run through the lighthouse from top to toe playing with the red canvas like a smoker with a burning lighter. Samuel was already there - at the top of the lighthouse, ready to confront Dean.He looked through the window into the night bathed in a cold moonlight and, before his eyes got used to the darkness inside, the door slammed. Dean turned up in front of Samuel. And that was a big moment for him, he was able to see Dervel’s personification in every dimension.Before Samuel opened his mouth, Dean growled and demanded answers.“You and Michael had better not lie to me. Now, I can see that the whole world is turning around Bianca. Are you really married to her?”It was difficult for Samuel to regain composure seeing someone who looked like Victor’s murderer. But right then there was no other choice - without Dean on their side, Bianca would be lost forever.“I am her only husband and she is my mate. I'm tel
They were all hungry for blood.Samuel’s werewolf made his way through the forest bathed in the silver light of the moon. He knew that the time had come and he could finally put up a fight with a true visible opponent.Jig could be anywhere lurking in the shadow and even attacking from behind. And he was right - before he sensed any smellhe suddenly emerged from the darkness.His werewolf was calm, soundless and had devilish eyes hidden in the shadow.They looked at each other in silence, the whole forest gripped in tension, sensing that it was about to happen a fight for life and death.“Well, well… The long-awaited widower wants to put up a fight for his wife’s dead body.”Samuel growled at his words and his werewolf was more than eager to rip his throat out.“I know she’s alive. Give her back to me. I’m her husband. You have no right to steal my mate!”The wind blew a few leaves from Jig’s feet.“Ha ha ha! You’re such a sweet and naive child. Do you really think I don’t know what t
“Mom, just don’t leave me. Don’t leave me like that!”Bianca screamed in a dream as if some of her memories started to come back. Heavy breaths filled the cavern, watching her sleep was the last thing they could do at that very moment.Michael stood in the doorway, already shifted into a man.“Thanks God, that’s you! Your plan worked!” Patrick sighed with relief. In his caricature of fatherly feelings, the last thing he wanted for Bianca was Jig in her bed. What’s more, he felt such disgust towards him, since the moment he showed the dead woman's skin, that even recalling his name, made him feel sick.“Not so much, Patrick,” he locked his eyes on Bianca and continued with his breath jigged.“Dean has come back! He was supposed to leave this pack and never come back but he helped Samuel. I don’t know if he’s coming here or not. Either, Samuel can still be alive. They both might be coming here right now!”A loud bang echoed throughout the cavern - Stacy jumped off the high stool and ord
Patrick and Michael with unconscious Bianca on his shoulders followed Stacy through the dark tunnel, feeling a mix of curiosity and fear. They wondered what kind of secret place Stacy would lead them to, but everything was better than facing Dean and his fury.No one said anything although the lack of oxygen made them all feel weary and out of breath. They all got sweaty, but Michael even had to stop for a moment.“Is it still a long way?” He asked when he found himself far behind them.“Just half an hour's walk,” Stacy replied without looking back.“Should I help you with my daughter?” Patrick offered help cautiously, not being sure if it was a good idea.“No. I can handle it,” the werewolf got back to his feet, carefully putting Bianca on his left shoulder. He had to watch out, there were many sharp stones protruding from the walls.All the way down the tunnel Michael could not believe one thing - he could finally touch Bianca after such a long time.Finally, a cool refreshing breez
"Can you believe it? She finally remembered everything. Her name, her family, her life. And now she's trapped in this hellhole with no way out."The woman said, her voice trembling. Apparently she lost her cool calculated approach to the whole situation, she got much more emotional.“But we can still watch them. We promised ourselves not to intervene, but you can see now the crow world sees something more than we. Her second nature wants to bring Samuel to her.”“Isn’t enough to finally finish this torment for Bianca? If her crow nature wants Samuel, why should we have any more doubts who will be the best match for her?”The woman protested. She had her eyes wide with fear and determination. But it didn’t make an impression on the man. He just sighed with tiredness that he had to repeat the same thing again and again.“Look. Samuel has a big ally on his side. If he can’t get Bianca back even with the help of a crow, it will mean he doesn't deserve her. Maybe that’s the whole purpose o
Samuel lay on the floor of the abandoned lighthouse, his breath ragged and his blood staining the leaves. He felt a sharp pain in his side where the sharp claws nearly tore him apart. He knew he had to heal quickly - deep down he felt Bianca needed him.He closed his eyes and focused on his inner wolf, willing his body to regenerate.However, he wasn’t alone.He heard a caw above him and opened one eye. A crow was perched on a rock shelf, staring at him with focus. Samuel growled softly, but the crow didn't seem afraid. It tilted its head and cawed again.“You’re a crow… Just like my wife,” he muttered. Despite the pain taking into parts all his consciousness, an intriguing thought came to his mind.“Do you know where Bianca is? Can you lead me to her?”The crow tilted its head and cawed again, as if understanding his words. There was something in its eyes that could not be overlooked.The crow landed on his chest and started pecking at his wounds. Samuel felt a shooting pain all over
