I turned around to look for Damon and I saw him standing at the edge of the river bank holding a large blue shirt and thankfully he had shorts on.Wait, how was he already out and dressed? Did he fly down or what?"C'mon it's late, we gotta get back now." He said holding out the shirt for me. I saw that there were blue shorts for me resting by his feet as wellI was currently in the middle of the river, almost completely submerged in the water, and he was at the edge.Was I supposed to come out all the way... naked?Hell no.He cocked an eyebrow and I stayed right were I was, swimming in the river. Which actually took a lot of strength since my feet couldn't touch the ground yet, I had to swim against the current just to stay at one place.I swam forward up until I could stand on my own two feet, but still deep enough for the water to cover me fully.Thankfully it was up to my collarbone. I stood there and moved not an inch further to retrieve the shirt.The river, being as wide as it

"Get her."Was the last thing I heard before I turned around and started my sprint back to the pack grounds.The look on their faces alone as they turned to me was enough to have me sprinting to the hills.I shuddered as I remembered their faces, which seemed more vivid than any other part of my dream.It was like a pack of lions looking at a lamb in the middle of a desert during drought.Too much?Well that's how they looked at me.I had to fight my way back through the thick bush which just seemed to cage me in now. Holding me back.The twigs were literally strangling me as I pushed through.I fell out of the bush cutting my palm open on a sharp rock, but I paid it no mind. I hurriedly got back on my feet and started running.I literally shifted in a second and manoeuvred my way through the dense forest.I couldn't hear the sounds of footsteps approaching me but then again, none of them were touching the ground when I saw them now were they?That thought just seemed to add more fuel

"Back where?" I tried to play it cool.I wasn't exactly sure of where I had gone to and if I even really went there in the first place. This could very well be a vivid dream. A very vivid one. With real life manifestations, I added as I thought about my palm.+He looked at me deadpan."I know for a fact that you didn't wake up at 4am for a quick morning jog," he rose a brow at me. "Unless you had another agenda."I tried not to be offended."I am very capable of waking up early to go jogging. You were the same person who told me I needed to shift more often, weren't you?"He regarded me silently. Trying to see if he should believe the unbelievable, that I had willingly gotten up at dawn to train, or that I went back to the place that had obviously rattled both of us last night. Which, right now in my right mind, doesn't sound so believable either.If he saw straight through my lie and diversion, he made no further comment about it.After a few more seconds of staring, he turned and le

Old relics, talismans and amulets hung on the walls, at least that's what they looked like to me.The walls suddenly changed from their subtle peach colour to a dark brown with inscriptions etched on them.A weird thing in the structure of a very complicated flower vase appeared in between us. It was about two to three feet tall and looked like it was made entirely of porcelain.I moved back slightly and tucked my legs under the chair to prevent any mishaps.+She then shut her eyes and started chanting.For a moment there I was tempted to flee.'No Adriane you were dreaming' or 'Yes it really happened, don't worry I'll take care of those mean old ladies for you.'That's how I had been expecting this encounter to go.Really?Yes. I definitely didn't sign up for this.But the atmosphere suddenly felt so heavy and I couldn't move. At least not right away.And when a puff of air that formed a ball was emitted from that vase thing I actually fell off my chair.A warning would have been nic

"Get up we're leaving. Now." Damon said while he stood by the door waiting for me to get up.He had folded his arms across his chest, his jaw tight.He was looking rather impatient."Alpha, I think you need to hear the whole story about this."Evelyn spoke from her seat at the end of the room.She tried to make direct eye contact with Damon to relay her message with urgency but Damon was staring at me, willing me to get up with the sheer force of his gaze."No, I dont. You're just gonna fill her head with nonsense and frighten her." He snapped as his eyes flashed at her and then looked at me to get a move on, since I was still firmly rooted to my seat. He looked on edge, and I wondered how much of our conversation he had actually heard. How long had he been in here? I didn't even feel his presence.Damon didn't look like he was interested in any talk about witches and sacrifices. Almost as if he didn't believe that they could do anything. I on the other had still dealt with chills as

He turned to look at me briefly and looked back forward. "It was not the eel that alerted me to the presence of dark magic, although it prompted me to find out." He started. "I got chills when I saw it circling around in the water shortly before it disappeared. I knew something wasn't right and when I looked at the nearest tree by us I noticed a carving in it. It had been freshly made, some sort of hieroglyphic symbol, but I recognised it. I had seen it before. When I was little." The moment that was our of his mouth I began to sit up.I knew so little about his childhood, about him really, and I liked to hear him talk about some things."When you were little?"He nodded."I'd been out with my father and some other wolves exploring 'the amazing terrain' as he called it. We eventually settled down for lunch and while the adults prepared the grill, I wandered off. I remember going so far that I nearly got lost. I came upon some cobblestones right in the middle of the forest, so naturall

"I really don't know what is happening anymore." I mumbled at Mavis as I sat on her bed and played with my fingers, occasionally twirling random strands of hair around my finger.+I huffed and fell back on the bed as Mavis sighed and sat upright looking down at me.Damon had told them about where I had disappeared to for more than a week when I was with Jax. Thankfully, he didn't disclose too much of what happened.Maybe because he himself didn't have the full play by play of what went down after I nabbed his car.At the back of my mind I wondered if he knew that all my wounds were inflicted on me by Cassandra since I hadn't actually said it yet.But then I remembered how she looked like when he brought her that day and how he'd ended her.He knew. Definitely.And if he didn't, I don't even want to imagine what he would have done.Mavis came by the house a couple of times when I stopped answering my phone, which I left in Damon's Range when I stepped out to meet Cassandra.I even had

Mavis offered to escort me back home safely with James leading the way. Several metres ahead of course.I tried not to be offended.+I don't smell that bad, do I?When he got to my front door he stopped there and waited for us to catch up. I watched silently on when we arrived at where he stood and he wordlessly pulled Mavis into him, holding her close from behind. His posture relaxing greatly as he lightly inhaled her scent.Even in the dimly lit late afternoon sky I could see the blush rising to her cheeks and even the tips of her ears.It was like I was intruding on an intimate moment, and I suddenly felt the urge to turn away and give them some space.Especially James, whose wolf seemed on edge around me now.But I understood him though.I just couldn't help feeling that I actually smelled bad, like maybe a rotten egg or something. I hope this doesn't last.I didn't know what to say exactly at that moment so I remained silent, awkwardly looking everywhere but at them.It was Mavis
