31. I just want my mate
Finn
I banked around corners as fast as my Ferrari would go. One of the many upsides to living off the beaten path was that you could rip on the open highways in the rainforests of coastal British Columbia without running into a soul. The engine purred as I pushed the pedal to the floor. I was at least six hours behind them, and I was aiming to cut that in half with some risky driving. I didn’t care that she didn’t want me there. This entire situation had endangered my pack and I wanted some answers about this prophecy. Not to mention she was my mate, and I wasn’t about to risk her safety just because she was upset with me. I really thought the whole ‘being emotionally attached to someone’ thing was going to be impossible for me to do, but so far, the instinct to protect her had come pretty naturally…hopefully the rest would too.
The hours dragged on and the

EverestI woke up with my cheek pressed against a muddy floor. All I could smell was earth and decay. The steady drip, drip, drip of water echoed around, and I had a metallic taste in my mouth. My head pounded and a big goose-egg had risen where I’d been struck. I could hear shuffling around me, but I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know if that was because I was blindfolded, or it was just pitch black wherever I was. Muffled voices were whispering somewhere but I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I groaned and blinked open my eyes. What the hell had happened? My last few moments came rushing back as I remembered the terrified look on the gas station clerks face as her bones cracked and her chest was ripped open…the aswang. Fuck. I tried to scramble upright, but my arms and legs were aching. I felt like I’d been cramped up in a small, tight space for hours. My wolf’s night vision kicked i

Everest “You can…draw out the venom?” Hannah asked skeptically. “What, like a snake bite?” “No, not exactly…I’m – I have this weird family bloodline that…honestly, I really don’t know that much about it. I was on my way to see someone who was supposed to be able to help, but I ended up in here. I healed two other wolves back at Onyx. Lupin and Marley.” “Finn’s sister?” Fiona gaped. “His sister was attacked?” “Yeah, but I pulled the venom out and she seemed to be recovering fine when I left. Most of the wolves are being killed, but the aswang that got Marley was interrupted before it could finish, and the one that got Lupin was distracted.” “Does it hurt?” Fiona asked, eyes wide. “No, I don’t think so. But it does leave a mark

Everest “…interesting.” A slimy, deep voice spoke from nearby. “And they couldn’t feed on her?” “No, sir. They rejected her blood, and their venom didn’t seem to work on her either.” Another voice answered. “Very interesting…lets wake her up and have a chat, shall we?” A hand tapped the side of my cheek roughly. “Come on, time to wake up. There’s a good little wolf.” I opened my eyes. The man’s face in front of me frowned and turned back to the first man. Both were dressed in all black and had no hair on their heads. I blinked, trying to get my eyes to focus. I’d never been more tired in my entire life. Every muscle in my body felt like it had seized, and I felt like I’d been beaten black and blue. They must’ve put wolfsbane into my system. My head pounded and my throat was parched and raw. I
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 35. Rescued
Finn We’d run all day and night, trying to trace her scent. We knew the general direction they’d taken her from the GPS location on her phone, but we didn’t know exactly what we’d be looking for. It was early in the morning the next day when we found her phone laying in a pile of grass at the base of a big cliff. Kali had sniffed it out and called us over. ‘This is definitely hers. Its dead, so that’s why the GPS disappeared I guess.’ Kali sniffed it sadly. Her black and white wolf whining. ‘Must be.’ Caleb’s big reddish-brown wolf nuzzled her. ‘Okay let’s spread out and comb the area for any signs of the aswang.’ Caleb said through the link. ‘No need.’ I growled. ‘They’re in there.’ I gestured towards a narrow slit in the cliffside ahead of us. ‘How do you know?’ Caleb turned to look at me. My eyes were glued to the black hole between the cliffs. ‘I can feel her in there.’ I pawed the ground, snarling. I couldn’t sense her feelings, but I could sense her nearby and I knew she wa
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 36. Reunion
Finn Everest shook in my arms from shock and exhaustion. ‘Did you find her? We’ve got the wolves, but only two could shift…the rest we’ll either have to carry or lead out, so we need to go NOW before the aswang heal. We’re going to start heading towards the entrance, catch up to us as fast as you can…we’ll need the help.’ Kali said through the mind-link. ‘I’ve got her. Go on ahead, we’re right behind you. Caleb, go help them…’ He nodded and took off down the tunnel to help Hannah and Kali. I turned my attention back to Everest. “Everest,” I took her face in my hands, “babe, we’re going to get out of here. Can you shift?” She looked at me, gold eyes swimming with tears. “Hey, just focus on me, okay? I’m here. I’ve got you. You’re safe now. I’ll never let anyone hurt you ever again.” She nodded slowly and closed her eyes, starting the shift. I shifted too. It took her a few moments due to her exhaustion, but her beautifully unique golden wolf was standing in front of me for the firs
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 37. Separate ways
EverestWhen I’d seen Finn charge into the cave to rescue me, I’d known I was finally safe. Since then, he hadn’t let me out of his sight…and I wasn’t necessarily complaining. As messy as things had been, it was a relief to have a big alpha watching your back.I woke up early to the light of the sunrise. I was cocooned in the fur of a big navy-grey wolf. Caleb and Kali stood guard, watching over the other sleeping wolves and pups. Finn must’ve curled up around me to keep me warm since I hadn’t shifted before I fell asleep. I’d used every ounce of energy I had to heal the last eight wolves, and then I remember collapsing. They’d all managed to shift to their wolves after I’d healed them, so obviously it had worked. Interestingly, though they were all varying colours, they all had flecks of gold fur mixed into their coats…I’d recognized a couple from Aurora mo
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 38. Megandra and Hank
Finn We drove along the winding highway towards Bella Coola. Everest had changed into a light blue dress. She looked radiant even after everything she’d just been through. She leaned her head back and gazed out the window with a thoughtful look on her face. I was glad she didn’t fight me on bringing her to see the witch. After what had happened the last time she left me, I’d decided that until this was over, I wouldn’t be letting her out of my sight again. Plus, I wanted the time with her…we had a lot to figure out between us on top of the whole prophecy and gifted wolf thing… I turned down the radio “So, Caleb mentioned something about a prophecy.” She was pulled from her thoughts. “Huh? Oh, yeah. A witch wrote a prophecy in my family tree book. It was handwritten in the same script as my name, which wasn’t supposed to be in
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 39. Blood of the Son
Everest Compared to the other two witches I’d met, Megandra seemed pretty normal. Though she wasn’t magic by blood, she was still practicing herbalism. She had shoulder length light brown hair and a square face. She was several inches taller than me, and she had big, round, dark blue eyes. She’d said ‘cursed one’ like it was just a simple thing, yet it had sent shivers down my spine. Curses were supposed to be a bad thing as far as I knew…The jaguar had come over to investigate us while we talked with Megandra and had startled me initially, but now I was affectionately scratching her ears while she purred loudly. “Quite the collection of animals you’ve got here…” I said, impressed. “Yeah, Rowena’s built quite the menagerie. The big cats are incredibly loyal. There’re a few lions wandering around here too somewhere, but they keep more to themselves.” Megandra picked up her basket of herbs and looked up at the sky. “Well, we should probably go inside. Rowena’s been waiting for you, a
