Wolves by Ash Faith (ebook reader 7 inch .TXT) 📖

“But all of them agree on one thing,” he continued “That you’re way too disrespectful to the Prince, our people, including me would normally be trialled for a jailed eternity for talking to him the way you do.”

“Seriously?” I exclaimed, “Whatever” I was over all this bullshit. I never have obeyed orders and rules before and I still hadn’t changed my mind on that. They do not control me my inner voice said angrily. Oh shit, I’d forgotten about you I told my wolf. I am you, I’m just free now, it’s exactly what you were thinking anyway She was right, that is what I was thinking.

“He seems fine with it,” I said, “I was brought here and I’m being kept here. Likely story I’m happy about it.” I tried to explain, but it didn’t sound as convincing as it did in my head. Oh well.

“Anyway,” Julie said, breaking the awkward silence “You’re my best friend, and since I can now do those sorts of things, I’ll rip off the head of anyone who tries to mess with you” Jesus, that’s a bit violent. I thought, not if we get there first my wolf said calmly, can we just be calm for a second? I asked my wolf. She fell silent.

The door burst open and a shirtless Jay walked in heaving a cart of food.

“Why the hell are you shirtless” I asked him as he came to a stop and shut the door with his foot,

“Why shouldn’t I when I’m with you” he smirked and winked “Oh,” he said as he saw Randy and Julie “We have company” he said sadly. “Oh, that’s okay we can leave you two alone” Randy piped up in a humoured voice as he ushered Julie out of the room. I gritted my teeth. That bastard. The door closed quickly and the sound of their footsteps faded.

“Tell me the real reason you don’t have a shirt on” I hadn’t bought his bullshit,

“fine, it caught fire when I lit the candles” He admitted as he dimmed the lights. Oh, dear god.

The tray of food was lit up with candles, one half containing a plate of bacon, eggs and toast alongside with some fancy bottled water and the other half with literally a bag of blood.

“Yuck” I gagged

“What’s wrong?” Jay asked concerned,

Everything I thought “Is that,” I pointed at the bag, “Blood?”

“Yes, it’s the only thing we vamps can have” he looked me up and down, “Speaking of blood what happened there” he said looking and the blood stream on my shoulder. Damn, Julie can make such a mess. “Julie was happy to see me I guess, she cried a bit”

“Do you want another shirt” he asked, but then smirked “Or you could just take it off and leave at that.” I sighed, almost believing he was a nice person for a second again.

“Shirt” I said simply.

“Okay,” he sighed “Your loss” not really I thought as he went to his draws and pulled out a tight black t-shirt you’ve got to be kidding me. I grabbed the shirt anyway, turned around to face the wall and unbuttoned the larger shirt I already had on, I let it drop to the floor and quickly shoved my head through the t-shirt and pulled it down my top half of my body – it just barely fitting my boobs – I realised it was a really thin fabric and you could see somethings that would normally be covered my a bra. God damnit I cursed under my breath. I saw Randy’s jacket on the floor next to me, Thank god I quickly grabbed it and put it on to cover myself and turned back around to realise Jay had been literally staring and watching the whole time. I was done with this bullshit. I grabbed his bag of blood and walked dangerously close to him. It was time for payback. I shoved the bag on his chest and gave him my sexiest smirk, “Let’s play a game” I said softly into his ear. This excited him, obviously, as I felt a bulge grow and press into my body. “S-Sure” he stuttered. I pushed him to the back of the door, “Stand outside for a second and I’ll tell you what we’re playing” I said, winking at him as he did as I said and stood outside the open door. “What’s the game called?” he said smiling widely. “It’s called,” I bit my lip, “You’re not getting in my pants” my tone turned venomous as I slammed the door in his face and locked it. That’s what he gets for being such a perv. Seemably proud of myself I walked back over to the lovely tray of food I had in front of me and dug in to the meal. Happily thinking about the embarrassment he’ll get, walking around with a boner and shut out of his own room.

I hugged myself with Randy’s jacket, it smelt like a bakery; pastry and sweet bread – which was what Randy smelled like too. He was the nicest person here, and the only one who seemed to actually like me as well, he helped me feel welcome and safe even though I’d barely known him for a week but I felt like he was a trusted friend I’d known forever. I sighed loudly.

“I feel the same way,”

“Holy shit!” I jumped up from the bed and hit my head on the bedhead “Ouch! That hurt like a bitch” I mumbled rubbing my forehead. I heard Randy laugh and I opened my eyes “How did you get in I locked the door” I said as the pain on my forehead went away.

“I have a master key that opens every door in the mansion” he said, lifting up a chain necklace and dangling the key connected to it.

“Hey, Randy, is it bad if we become friends or something? Why do I feel like it’s wrong” I asked

“Nothing like this has ever happened before, You’re not just a wolf in a house of vamps, you’re also best friends with one vampire that is the Prince’s mate-“ he paused for a second “and friends with the top guard of vampires as well. We’re lucky it’s not like the 1900’s where any vamp or wolf who befriended each other would either be trialled for treason by their own species or by the council. Nowadays it’s just still not really accepted but it isn’t illegal or anything”

“Wait, hold up, did you say council?” don’t tell me there’s some kinda council that controls the vampires and wolves.

“yes, I did, We didn’t mention that to you before because, well, you’re not registered to their files obviously, and also because if they found out about you, they’d probably lock you away or turn you into their personal war weapon. I feel like I’m telling you too much. The Prince and Olivia told me I shouldn’t because it would probably freak you out but I think it’s best you know”

I laid back down onto the sheets, taking in all the information. Holy shit, I really am a fugitive I thought as I realised the danger I was really in. Suddenly the sound of guns shook the room and screams erupted from outside. Randy and I raced towards the door, Randy running ahead to go to the entrance area as I was just behind him. Finally, a fight my wolf growled. I smelt fresh blood and turned the corner to see the situation. Oh my god. There were people in white suits running around, about 20 or so of them, each holding different bloodied weapons like chainsaws, guns and machetes. I lost sight of Randy in the madness and saw a woman in a bloodied white suit pin Jay up to the wall a few metres in front of me. “Where’s your prince, pretty boy” she spat at him, I felt my body shiver and rage fill my veins as she raised her machete, aiming to cut his head off. I ran at her and slammed into her body, landing on the ground and pegging both her arms down, I saw my arms as they held her down, my veins were pure black. Well that’s new I thought as my wolf screamed to rip her arms off. Not yet, I told her, I need answers first. “Who are you?!” I yelled over the top of the madness.

“Hunters you dumb bitch-“ she saw my veins and screamed “What the hell are you?!” that was all I needed to hear from her I thought as I let my wolf have her fun and tore the arms off the woman in white’s body.  I got up, her blood dripping from my hands. I looked at my hands, realising what I’d done, I felt more powerful than ever. I heard Jay yelling and turned to find another maniac in white with a chainsaw come at me yelling “DIE YOU HORRID CREATURE” but he stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened as he saw my veins on my arms. I ran at him and he screamed dropping his chainsaw ready to run, but I caught him at a speed faster than I thought was possible grabbing him at the neck and pegging him against the wall, his dead comrades blood wiped on his neck he tried to scream but I squeezed and his neck broke and his body went limp. I dropped his body and turned ready for another opponent. Realising the room had gone silent, there was bodies scattered all over the room, some where the white-suited ‘hunters’ and others must have been vamps.

I searched the room for Randy, if those white bastards had killed him I swear to go- I felt his hand on my shoulder and quickly turned around and hugged him, not caring if anyone saw. “I’m glad you’re okay” I told him

“And me too you, I hope you remember that if you think out loud I can hear you, glad to know that you would hunt anybody who killed me down and then find their family” I went red, I was that morbid of a person and would think that normally, but now that my wolf was free, I would probably actually do it now that I thought about it.

“They-“ a shook Jay was stuttering, breaking our conversation “They asked for the Prince” he gulped.

Randy spun around, I heard him curse under his breath. “Lana” he said “Come with me if you care about your friend’s life” he ordered. I nodded my acceptance, knowing he was talking about Julie-Anne. We ran up the stairs, headed for the third floor, where the guest room was – and where Julie-Anne and Kade were last –.
