After a nice cold shower, we headed into the training yard to continue training the werewolves. This time, however, some of the other Hunters were there to assist with the task. Rem assured them they wouldn’t need to give away any of their secret abilities. All they needed to do was to ensure the pack could fight beside us if it came down to it.As Rem sorted out the training, it was my task to figure out everyone’s roles. Each pack was different. Some packs handed over roles to their offspring the moment they are of age and found themselves their destined mate.In other packs, however, being born to a werewolf with a certain role did not automatically assure you would be that role too. They did not hand your position down to you the same way nobles and royalty did. Though genetics did sometimes help play a role, it was just never promised. What det

Carefully, we stalked behind Ken and Sam as they made their way to what was a Maze of sorts. Rem had given them directions through the mind-link to ensure they hadn’t got lost while placing the ball within. I was surprised this place even existed, but I hadn’t explored every bit of the garden, and even now, there were other areas we hadn’t seen. Carefully, we stayed a respectful distance away from the two as they followed the boy about. We planned to get the boy to sneak under one bush and over to another part of the maze without those two seeing him, then one of the older kids who we had placed there would lead him back out safely. That way, we could continue to monitor Ken and Sam’s progress. The first part of Plan B was simple enough that it went rather well. As soon as we neared the right spot, the kid ran on ahead, much to Sam’s protests, but by the time they had caught up and rounded the corner, the kid had gone. Through the mind-link, th

Back in the training yard, Ken was giving me a squinted look, as though he was indirectly letting me know he was on to me and my little game of hide and seek with the ball and the picnic. I offered him an innocent smile but returned my attention to Marrok and Lupe.“Now,” I said as I glanced between the two. “You’ll both need to have a better handle on transforming than the younger ones, though from what I saw when the whole pack transformed last, it wasn’t too much of an issue for you both, right?” I asked with a smile.“Not an issue at all, though it hurt like nothing I ever felt before,” Marrok admitted and then rubbed his neck.Lupe nodded in agreement. “Elder Sera said it would, but I never thought she was right,” she chimed in. “Though it was nice to speak with my wolf for the first time, so that was worth it,” she continued, bouncing on the back of her heels in

I watched Rem carefully as his breathing quickened with each breath of his. He seemed to fight something at first, likely the spirit from taking over, I imagined. With a shake of his head, Rem closed his eyes and took a step out of my grip and held his hands over his ears. I blinked and hesitantly reached out to touch him. “Don’t…” he whispered, though I couldn’t tell if he directed that at me or the spirit within. I still heard nothing in Rem’s mind to suggest he had a wolf in there. “Rem?” I called out to him, worry crossing my features now. My heat seemed to cool off as my emotions shifted from one to the other. “Are you… alright?” I questioned. I paused my hands in the air in a torn stance on if I should embrace Rem or withdraw. There was silence for a moment before Rem’s gaze lifted back up to me. His breathing was still heavy, but he seemed to find himself again as his eyes and teeth slowly shifted back to normal. He lower

When Rem had told me we would drive to London and be not taking the bus or train, I couldn’t contain my excitement to learn something new about him. I did not know Rem had a driver’s licence, nor that he had his own car. Sure, the car was actually for Hunter work, but that didn’t matter to me. I was just happy to know it would be just me and Rem together. No strangers.Not to mention with the ability to drive, this meant we could cover more ground quicker than waiting on public transport. However, I also couldn’t help but wonder at all the places we could go together on dates.“This is for Hunter work only,” Rem muttered aside to me, though kept his attention on the road ahead. “Not to be used for pleasure…” he continued, having heard my thoughts through the mind-link.I stuck my tongue out at him playfully before going back to looking over the inside of the car and all the gadgets it
