him with new energy, her black veins reappearing, at least that’ll give her some time, he surely couldn’t be expecting that.

“You’re a monster!” He yelled, surprised. But not for long “That’ll make it even better to have your head on a plaque.”

She leaped onto him and they were scrambling on the ground, snarls and hisses filled the air.

Kade and Julie raced out and were met with the fight. Julie’s eyes immediately filling up with blood, not again, but instead of dropping onto the ground and becoming a mess, she screamed and stamped her foot. “STOP!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. And suddenly the two stopped. Lana pulled herself up first, her arm completely snapped and hanging loose, and then the King, limping up with the help of a tree, his leg in the same position – snapped in half and daggling loosely. The King would heal in about an hour, being 100’s of years old did that to a vampire. But Lana was a different story, it would probably take her days. My eyes widened as I was proved wrong, Lana grabbed her loosed arm and snapped it straight with a devilish smile on her face. It had only been 4 or 5 days, how the hell could her healing be better than the King of vampires within a week?!

“I’m calling the Immortal Court, and you, creature, will be sent to hell where you belong.” The King stuttered as he limped over to Julie and Kade. Lana was metres away from them, as they faced each other a dead silence made me fear what might happen next.

“Lanny!” Julie yelled as she ran over to Lana, much to the astonishment of the Prince and the King.

“JULIE GET BACK!” The King and Prince yelled in sync,

“No!” She retorted as Lana opened her arms like a waiting mother and Julie crashed into her, smashing them both to the ground and tearing Julie’s lovely red gown.

“I missed you so much Lanny, I thought you were dead!” Julie said between huffs.

“I missed you too darl, but I’m not welcome here. I’m here to say goodbye.” Lana said quietly,

“But you just got here” Julie whimpered

“I also just got told my head will be on a plaque by your father in law”

“What is this madness?” The King cleared the moment, filling it back up with his stupid rage.

“Hey, Douchebag named Kade” Lana yelled as she pulled herself up and offered her hand to Julie, picking her up as well. “Take care of her,” She said, with a weak smile.

“No! wait!” Julie disagreed and hit Lana, as she picked her up and began to walk towards Kade.

Kade stepped forward, to the King’s belief. “Always. Thank you, wolf. For all you did” now I too, was astonished, the ignorant Prince, had thanked the wolf he blamed for his miserable week.

Lana said nothing as she handed Julie over to Kade. Immediately turning her back, most likely on her way out. The king had other ideas, “Where do you think you’re going? You clearly belong to no pack. Rogue wolves are not allowed to live as is the law of the Immortal Court” he beamed, but Lana turned around beaming herself.

“Well, you did call me a monster,” she took more steps backwards whilst still facing the King. “So, I guess that means I don’t fit that law, now do I?” She mocked his stupidity. She was witty and brave. It was admirable. She ran off, her laugh fading as she disappeared into the woods. Stay safe, Lana. I prayed for her. But it wasn’t her who needed to be prayed for anymore, I realised the danger I was in for not warning the King or helping him, and telling Lana to run as he was right behind me. His eyes still a flaring green, he seemed to be directing his rage at me now. I sighed, I was just glad to see her a last time, free. I prepared for my punishment, closing my eyes as I hoped the best for the wolf.

“Father, do you forget where you are?” my eyes flew open as Kade’s voice directed venom at the King.

“What are you talking about, boy?” The King broke off his gaze and met eyes with Kade,

“This is my estate, and after Olivia’s betrayal I am the last of your pure kin. I control the punishments here, and I say we leave the wolf.” He glanced my direction with sorrow, “And my 2nd in command had nothing to do with this either” He left without waiting for a reply and called as he walked “The ceremony is now over, so your welcome has been overstayed. I suggest you leave without a grudge. Thank you for coming.” I decided to not stay, as no one knew how the King would react to this, so I decided to quickly follow after Kade.

Chapter 34 >> Lana's view

As I ran, I couldn’t help but smile, Julie could be happy now. She didn’t have to worry if I was dead or not. I heard a rustling from behind a lining of trees and stopped in my tracks. Someone has followed. My wolf confirmed my thoughts.

“Come out, coward!” I yelled at my stalker, as a well-polished foot stuck out from behind the trees, and the scent hit me, faltering my good mood. “Jay,” I said bluntly as he uncovered himself and a small duffle bag. “I didn’t mean to frighten you” he said, grinning like an idiot,

“You didn’t, I was ready to rip your throat out, but I’ll gladly give you a minute considering how much you’re risking right now out here” Clearly, that statement made him happy, god know why though – I’d just told the kid I was going to rip his throat out but as usual he barely listened.

“Your clothes aren’t clean of the blood, I could scent it from inside. So I quickly packed you a bag, if you want it” He chucked the bag towards me,

“Thanks” I gave him the thanking he needed and grabbed the bag. “but like I said before, you’ll get yourself killed for being out here too long, I’m half sure your King is on my trail.”

“But,” he stopped me in my tracks, “what about a kiss goodbye?” same old idiot,

“I’m good” I shifted to my wolf form, grabbing the bag straps with my mouth and racing off before he could say anything in reply. You’re alive because of him. My wolf spoke, Jay? I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around, I saved that idiot. I retorted, making her growl instead, Ace. I swallowed hard, at the mention of his name again. I’d been trying to forget about him, but had struggled. What has he got to do with anything? I asked her, but she didn’t reply. At least I was the only person who was going to agitate myself now. I came to a small ditch and decided to stop, as where I was heading, I probably needed to change out of the clothes if they still smelt of blood. I changed back to two legs, and swiftly swapped my clothes around, leaving the dirty ones in the ditch. I grabbed the duffel bag and headed off to my right, where I was almost certain I smelt far off pancakes and civilization. Deciding it was best to save my energy and walk the rest of the way, I used my time to plan what my next move was. I needed somewhere partially safe to sleep, there was surely a hotel in town. But I had no cash. Scratch plan 1 then. I thought, as I listed out my possibilities, I realised there wasn’t many. I was down to just a few, one being sleeping on a park bench – not the most comfortable I would’ve every felt but also not the most uncomfortable – and, dreadfully, attempting to find Judie-Jennifer who most likely put a police report out for our disappearances or drank away our tour money happily at the thought of me and Julie gone. “I guess that leaves me and a park bench” I mumbled to myself as I started to see a clearing. I sighed relief as proper sunlight hit my face, but clearly the two middle-aged women having a chat noticed me, I guess who wouldn’t notice a strange 20 something year old coming out of the woods with a duffel bag that could possibly be full of weapons. The woods are dangerous. I smiled at them after the long silence between us, “It’s a lovely day to camp out in the woods, isn’t it?” I said, quickly turning towards the street on my left. That was awkward. Even though I was metres behind me, I guess the werewolf hearing was quite good, as I could hear them whispering about me. “Let’s get out of here, that was weird” and “She could be one of those dangerous woods people I heard about”. As I turned to go up the street I looked for any kind of place I could settle as my little homeless spot, or where I could see how much of a mess I looked like. I was right about one, there was a gigantic glass screen accompanying a coffee shops emblem. I stopped across the street from it and assessed how insane I might look. “not too bad” I whispered to myself as I checked out my situation. My hair looked a tiny bit greasy but was holding up pretty well, just looking like it’d been a few days since I washed it, not a week, of bloody murder. My face seemed, as usual, blue-eyed and clear, and the clothes Jay had given me thankfully were just normal enough for me to fit in like a casual citizen.

Just as I’d finished checking myself out, a young fine looking brown haired guy walked out, clearly seeing me just casually assessing myself in the glass. “shit” I cursed as I looked away and attempted to fast walk my way out of another awkward situation. But the guy had a different idea.

“Hey!” He yelled from across the street, not even looking to see if there was any cars coming his way before he decided to jog across the road. Fortunate for him, one was.

“Oh my god, lookout!” I yelled at him as he realised the van coming straight at him.

He dodged the van just in time by jumping out of its way and landing on the pathway with a hard thump. Ouch, that looked like it hurt. I dropped my bag and ran over to the guy, feeling guilty for being the reason he almost got hit by a car.

“Are you okay? That looked like it hurt” I asked, as I flipped his body over carefully attempting not to hurt him more than he could already be.

“It’s nothing” he shrugged it off like nothing, getting up on his own feet. Okay then, just casually have a brace with death.

“Okay, Mr Invincible.” I laughed, but my laugh turned more nervous as I realised. Look who’s talking, you’re a werewolf, with more than the average wolf’s abilities. I reminded myself of how I was supposed to be acting casual and not causing scenes. Scenes like making
