Panic overwhelmed me, but I took another breath. What waited for me beyond the walls of the casino was much, much worse. I had to succeed in this mission. Ethan my son needs me. Agnes and I needed each other, we also have Ernest debt to pay.. Speaking of Ethan , Agnes told me he picked him beside me when she saved me. Agnes might be nasty playing stupid games like this but she is a good friend who cared so much. I can’t blame her too much, she is a doctor with Magic from another pack, she got banished for not being able to control her magic, now she doesn’t even have them anymore because she asked the moon goddess to take them from her. She took care of both me and my son when I was in Coma for good six years, she cater for me and since I had nothing to give back to her , I need to support her. I look around in fear as I keep seeing the kind of place we are , there are so much entourage and it looks as if war was going to begin between those gambling anytime soon. Focus. Pay att

She pressed her lips together and darted a look at Matt and then the guards. “My son is ill and I needed to get him treated,” she muttered. My brow shot up. “How do you expect me to believe you?.” “It’s true! My son is ill, I should be with him where he would be receiving treatment.” Blood drained from my face, and I fell backward, springing up as quickly as I landed. I bring out my wallet from the back of my pocket, bring out al the money in it. “Take?” I held her hand and stuff the money into her palm. She open her eyes wide looking into my eyes in surprise. I rose to my feet and brushed off my pants, avoiding her eyes as I turned to the guards. “Let her go,” I ordered them. Petyr and Virgil moved toward her without asking questions, and Selina sighed with relief. “You’re not going to kill me, you gave me this instead?” she asked. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” “Don’t come back here,” I growled, pivoting away, the words paining me physically to speak aloud. “Wait!” Selin

Ernest’s guards were as useless as he was, easy to avoid as they chatted with each other. No one noticed when I scaled the wall in my lupine form, my skinny, gray legs spanning the barrier to land me on my worn pads. Then I immediately morphed back to my human body, making my way to the small building that Ernest called house.CONTINUEIt was a shack at best. Even the trailer we’d lived in with our mom had more class and elegance than this stinking, ill-kept structure that was bound to fall down with a serious gust of wind.I shut my eyes try to recollect if I had someone I could remember from my past that could help out but my memories from my past felt blankInhaling, I pushed into the shack, a flurry of movement catching my peripheral vision, forcing my heart to pound. For half a second, I thought I’d been caught sneaking back, but Ernest’s inept guards merely laughed over some ridiculous anecdote, their backs to me as I slid inside, unobserved.I sneaked up to Agnes and my son, I

I was excited at the prospect of bringingSelina into my house and sticking it to Ernest, even if he might never learn about it.It had been a long time since I’d felt blood rushing through me like this, but I had a sneaking suspicion that, with Bianca at my side, I’d experience it with a lot more frequency. As my assistant, she would be a few feet away from me for hours at a time, flashing those huge, dark eyes my way, tempting me with a mere bat of her lashes.Great. I was hard again.ESTELE.Ethan restless sleep made my own impossible. He looks pale and weak and this scares the shit out of me whie I could feel the tension in Agnes body, I went to my son, stare at him for a whie , I kissed him on his forehead before returning to Agnes who now lay on the bare floor, I snuggled closer to her, hoping to calm her down, but even my nearness didn’t seem to help her, and as the gray outside the filthy window turned to a golden pink, someone crept into our tiny house.Instantly, I bolted upr

“What should we do with her?”I pondered that for a moment. I couldn’t stand the thought of her being in the barracks, but I couldn’t invite her to my room, either.“Put her in my office. Have virgil sit with her.”He nodded once and hustled out of the master suite. Had he been in his animal form, his tail would have been between his legs, I was sure.Hastily, I found a tracksuit not my normal attire to the casino but I was worried that Selina might flee again now that she’d been contained. Sage wouldn’t force her to stay, but she was a much less threatening presence than the guards, and if I moved fast enough, I’d get to see what she wanted.She should have sent word through the messenger. She must have some kind of death wish hopping walls like this.Was she crazy or desperate?Again, the image of those wide, doe eyes filtered through my now awake mind, and I had my answer. Selina wasn’t going to stop until she got what she wanted.I knew that type well.It was less than half a mile
