Fates Hands

Chapter 13

Duncan and Adira were out for a run, her wolf Artemis was beautiful and fast, Apollo was completely

smitten. They played, hunted and ran races with each other. They even took a nap together under the

bow‘s of a pine tree. Duncan thought back to when they woke up this morning.

Another kiss, this one was a lot hotter than the other two, Duncan could sense her need building up

inside her, it would be just a matter of a little bit more time.

They were heading back to their cabin, when both wolves sensed they were being watched.

Duncan mind linked Marco his location and what was going on. Then Duncan mind linked Artemis

telling her to pretend to be normal. When he said run, she was to run to their cabin. There were

protection barriers in the cabin that would keep her safe. 2

Marco was the master of stealth, he mind linked Duncan to tell him he was staring at a sniper, using his

scope to watch them. He was also down wind from him, he smelled like one of those Rising Moon

bastards.

97 The last thing that Duncan heard, was a loud snarl and choaking sounds coming from the trees

ahead. Duncan took off to the sounds and the smell of blood.

Duncan managed to get there in time, before Marco killed him. “We need some questions answered,

so we keep this one alive for now.”

Alpha we already have one in custody, I was on my way to find you when you mind linked me. This

piece of shit was aiming his rifle at Adira.

“Oh, well then it looks like your luck has run out then.” The spy got a look of total horror on his face. As

the Alpha reached down and tore his head clean off.

Marco sniffed the air, “Duncan do you smell something off about these guys?” Duncan sniffed the air,

“yes it is there, it is faint but it is there.” Then it dawned on Duncan, “this guy was a were, he was born

with a wolf, but there was no wolf present in him now.”

“Duncan, I don‘t like this, in order for you to lose your wolf. You have to do something so horrible, that

your wolf leaves you or dies. What kind of fucked up shit are they into in that pack?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I don‘t know Marco, we will find out though, whatever is going on in there it has to be stopped.”

Duncan turned around, he sensed something coming at them from the opposite direction. He reconized

the scent and calmed back down.

“Perhaps I can be of some assistance in the information department.”

As Jack Dawson walked out of the shadows.

Eric and Joann returned home without their daughter Lily. There house looked like a bomb had gone

off, both of them knew who to thank for this mess. Eric went to his hidden wall safe, with a sigh of relief

all the money and account books were there.

“Eric we can‘t stay here, we have to pack what we can and go as far away as we can. We can always

go to High Garden and seek an audience with the Prince, he could protect us from that insane mess

you call a brother.”

Eric looked a Joann for a bit, thinking that once they got the help they needed, he was going to make

sure his mate came up missing. She was really grinding his nerve‘s to a pulp, what ever

s really grinding his nerve‘s to a pulp, what ever he saw in here was gone.

It probally had something to do with the night his wolf left him. Since then he‘d lost his ability to give a

shit. He felt no attraction to her at all, his need to kill, was stonger too since he lost his wolf.

“Yes, lets get our stuff and go to High Garden, we will find a small place there to live, while we wait for

the prince to grant us an audience.”

Joann was sick of her husband. He was a wonderful mate, till that fatefull night when she was about to

give birth to Lily, that he brought in another child. Right there in the birthing room. He wanted her to

raise his bastard, he asked her this as she was screaming in pain. Now he doesn‘t even feel like her

mate, it was like something died in him.

Doesn‘t matter though as soon as they are in High Garden she was going straight to the Prince to

request her own audience. She was also going to visit one of the local herbalists to get a poison that

will put her husband out of his misery and hers.

They packed everthing they would need, plus a few things they could sell at a pawn shop for more monex They hurried to their car and was

gone before anyone was the wiser.

They may have changed their plans a little bit, if they knew that the Alpha had a spy watching them. As

soon as they were in the distance, the Alpha‘s spy came out of the shadow‘s already reporting what he

had seen.

Adira stood behind Duncan, she was unsure of who had just joined them, he was huge. At least 6‘8

and all muscle he had a deep voice. He kept trying to get a look at her but she kept hiding behind

Duncan.

Duncan knew that Adira was just learning to trust people, that meeting a giant like Jack was

intimidating for her.

He reached around behind him and grabbed her hand, He then pulled her out in front of him, wrapping

his arms around her like a shield.

“Adira, this is a good friend of mine, Jack Dawson he is a WereBear. His a big and intimidating, but

don‘t let that fool you though, he is a sweet fuzzy teddy bear on the inside.”

Jack gave Duncan a look that said he was going to get even later. Duncan laughed.

“Hello there Adira, I am Jack Dawson Leader of the Stone Mountain Clan of WereBears. We will also

accept the term Pack.If you ever are need to slap this idiot around some, just let me know I will come

over and fix his additude up really nice for you.” Then he gave a courtly bow, which made Duncan role

his eyes.

This did seem to make Adira a bit more comfortable. As she relaxed in Duncan‘s arms. Jack was

staring at Adira, Duncan let out a warning growl. Jack put both of his hands in the air and backed away.

“I am sorry about that, its just that she is a twin and her twin looks nothing like her.”

Adira stiffend up again but asked, “You have met my sister, Lily?” “Yes, she is at my Clan house at the

moment, until I decided what to do with her. She came to us with all kinds of information. That is why I

am here, you‘re going want to know what I have to tell you and show you.2

He held up what looked like a backpack, it was then that Adira let out a small hiss. “That backpack

belongs to Lily, she never goes anywhere without it, not even in the house.”

Once I show you what is in here, you will know why she never went anywhere without it.

Duncan gestured for Jack and Marco to follow them back to the magical house, it was the perfect place

for privacy. He had a feeling what he was about to find out was going to make him beyond killing mad.

Duncan also hoped that it wouldn‘t hurt Adira anymore, she is strong but still you can only take so

many punches.

Lily woke up in a strange room, she looked around it was a nice size room and was a little spartan

though. It was then that she realised that she was wearing a really huge shirt, that oddly smelled pretty

good.

She got off the bed and explored the room, there was a bathroom it was huge. Had a shower and a tub

and eveything else you could want in a bathroom. She looked in the empty closet and drawers but she

didn‘t find any of her things.

She went to open the door to go out but it was locked. She could break it down, if it was a normal door

but the damn thing look liked it came out of an old prison movie.

“Hello?! Anyone?”

She sat there on the edge of her bed for what seemed forever, till the door opened and a really big

biker guy came in carrying a tray of food.

Another brought in her bag that had her clothes in it. She tried to talk to them but they just acted like

she wasn‘t there.

With a sigh she sat back down and looked over the food, it was bacon, eggs, toast with jam and orange

slices. On the side was a cup of coffee and a glass of chocolate milk. She thought that it was a little

odd, chocolate milk?. She was really hungry so she began eating the food. It tasted like heaven.

When she‘d eaten everything and even drunk the chocolate milk, she lay down on the bed feeling

really tired as she was drifting off she yelled to her wolf, Zinnia.... They drugged us!” As she was almost

out she said three words...“Damn chocolate milk
