Wolves at the Lycan's Door The Setup
Trisha and Kiera watched James take several enforcers with him toward the cabin behind the Rocking Horse Tavern, where she lived for close to a year. She didn’t know if this would work, but they needed some way to find this druid. In the beginning, Kiera had to agree with Trisha. She couldn’t believe that the druid was the person who stole and sold the blood on the black market. But when Dean agreed with James on almost everything, and the little information, Kiera knew from their father while he was alive. It soon wasn’t that big of a leap to believing she was in danger. No, they were all in danger from this unfeeling monster. From making new Lycans, to creating werewolves, and of course killing people with the blood, this became horrifying. Blood magic, for the most part, was banned and what they could practice was carefully regulated. But there always was someone that broke the rules. Now they waited with Dean to hear from James that he had everyo
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Let's Review While We Wait
Dean held Kiera’s front door open for her and then followed her into the place she’d once lived. Why she didn’t know was all because of him. He’d moved her things into the packhouse. He didn’t even allow her to have her old place in his territory back. This showed her how serious he was about changing things. All the talk of mating, changing how and where she lived. Inserting himself back into her life. Never mind the hot too good to turn down sex. The change was so great in him she wasn’t sure how to come back from this. Now he claimed he was trying to protect her and his pack from this blood dealer. Not just his pack, but all shifters within the area, really. It was a noble thing, but was it something she could truly say surprised her about him? Yes, he played pranks, annoyed her, and made it hard for her to be around him. But he wasn’t a selfish person otherwise. He’d learned quickly that he needed to keep a focus on the pack, even if he was blin
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Trouble Spotted
“I knew I should have stopped you from drinking that night. It was all too much even for you, Kiera. Why did you drink that much in the first place?” Dean finally asked the one question he’d been struggling not to ask. “Really? You need to ask? I wasn’t sure if I should leave this area and if I did, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do once I was gone. Keep on living somewhere else, doing something else, or end it all.” That statement rang with a tone of stark truth, and everyone met her words with silence from everyone that heard it. A silence that telegraphed the horror, and guilt of those around as they realized how far everyone’s actions went and the effects, they had on this one person. “That’s over now. This isn’t your space anymore. Whatever hung from the ceiling isn’t here right now. Elder Evans can no longer campaign against you, and the pack knows the truth. I’m here, no magic to interfere with my feelings, and the fighting with James a
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Surprise!
They were finally ready. It didn’t take long for everyone to get into place, but it still felt like it took too long. Dean and Kiera put their backs to the back door and waited. He kept Kiera talking about her time there when she was attacked to keep up the act in case the person listened to their conversation before; they entered to attack. “I just don’t know what was in here, and that’s the scariest thing about all of this. What did that happen? You said you thought I might have been hit by a tail and that’s why I didn’t hear someone land behind me. Are you sure about that?” “Look at it. We took pictures, measurements, and impressions. Then let experts look at them. So far, the information that came back is some kind of reptile.” “So a reptile shifter then? Because I doubt a mundane reptile would be that smart. I didn’t know that they even existed.” “Technically, if there are avian shifters, it’s not far off to believe there cou
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Unexpected Twists
While Dean struggled to claw the vine from around his throat, Kiera, too, like everyone else, fought. At seeing Dean struggling, Kiera couldn’t stop her transformation into her Lycan form. She hated others seeing her in this form. The fear she felt around her while she was in her Lycan form felt almost painful to her. Kiera hated feeling the negative emotions of those around her. Over time, she’d almost blocked others’ emotions from her. Right now, the aggression from those around her, the fighting, the anger, and the violence all did something to her. All she wanted to do now was save Dean from suffocating to death. Kiera tore through the vine with her teeth. The vines tasted wrong. Almost meaty. That’s when she saw the skeletal face on the lower body. Horrified, she spit out what vine still hung from her jaws in disgust. She needed to get this thing slowed to a stop. Her thoughts within her Lycan form were complex but simplified by images rather t
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Dealing with the Clean Up
Eventually, the fight wound down and James came out of the house and into the backyard. “I’m glad she’s staying with you. It’s a mess in there. But the guys are securing what’s left of the rogues now. We can figure out what we want to do with them later.” There wasn’t much of a question about what they’d do with them. The Ruling Council had a bounty on the heads of these fools. They’d split the bounty, since they were both involved, and it happened in the neutral zone between their packs. “Oh, and the healers called in. They’ll be here in the next few minutes.” “Good.” Ty basically nodded at the rest of James’ update. “What in all that’s sacred?” He now was close enough to see the scattered and charred leaves, and pieces of the creature around the prone body of the druid. “Wait, is that the thing that attacked in the kitchen?” “Yeah, it appears the druid found some sort of way to change into that.” James made a face of total disgust because he final
Wolves at the Lycan's Door Someone's Watching Out for You
“Kiera, the healers are here. Someone brought some chains for him that will prevent him from using his magic. It’s okay, you can shift back now. Come on, sweetheart. Don’t make me force you to shift back.” Dean didn’t know how long he’d been begging Kiera to shift back, but he was losing his patience. Lycan generally tended to have a painful transition from one form to the other. They resisted shifting forms as much as possible because of this. Her excuse was for not shifting was at an end and she was making everyone uncomfortable in her current form. One healer stood just outside the kitchen door and dangled a set of handcuffs from his hands to show Kiera they existed, which caught her attention. Kiera nodded and wordlessly grumbled as she went to all four feet. Her shift came on slowly, and several healers and enforcers came out to watch. Dean hated this. They were shifters and shifting should be a spectacle of any sort to them.
Wolves at the Lycan's Door The Waiting Game
The chaos at the healing centre was insane. Not only were there Ruling Council enforcers and investigators clogging the corridors as everyone and their uncle appeared to be waiting for their chance to speak with the druid. Dean and James didn’t realize how great their achievement was. The druid underestimated their brains and ability to plan. Trisha, when she was finished yelling at them for locking her in the closet, pointed out the Druid probably looked on them as country hillbillies and simpletons. Their plan he’d probably expect from alphas of larger packs closer to more urban centres, where more conflicts occurred, and education was better. Kiera kept her mouth shut for this, but couldn’t stifle her giggle of amusement at hearing Trisha’s left-handed compliment. James didn’t take being called an uneducated hillbilly very well. He knew what she was capable of saying, but he’d rarely had her viper’s tongue turned directly on him.Dean knew about
