Epilogue: All’s Well That Ends Well

Five Months Later

Natalie sat in front of Blake’s grave thinking back over that night and the events that had led them there. From the moment Blake had come into her life things had changed. But never in her wildest dreams had she imagined him to be the beast he turned out to be or to have as much love and compassion as he did. She was grateful he had been there for her in her time of need but regretted not telling him how she felt the moment her feelings had changed.

Chapter 29: Moonlight and Roses

“Cocky!” Dante sneered as he led Blake into a room above the railing. “You kill a man and suddenly think you have what it takes to call yourself an Alpha?” Blake looked at him surprised and it only made the smirk on Dante’s face grow more. “Oh yeah I know. I could smell it on you before you even stepped inside. Who was it? A poor, defenseless bum you had to pick from between your teeth? Or a fragile little coed on her way home from the library? It couldn’t have been anyone fight worthy because I doubt you’d be left standing.”

Chapter 28: Nightmares

“NATALIE!” Blake yelled in a huff as he sat up quickly on the bed. The pounding of his heart echoed in the tiny room as his breathing became more and more erratic and short. It was another of those dreams that caused his wolf unrest. Another nightmare that depicted a violent bloodbath that always ended the same: Natalie lying dead at his feet. Two days he was at Angelo’s waiting for the moon cycle to end and hoping it would give him the distance he needed to keep his wolf from acting on the primal urges he felt when around her.

Chapter 27: Mark of the Beast

“Nick? Nick are you there?” Natalie cried as she sat on the floor of the living room in Blake’s home. The bloodshed that had occurred earlier was quickly drying into the carpet and Riley’s dead body was turning cold beneath that white sheet. “I need help!”

“Natalie what’s wrong? Has something happened to Blake?” She paused with the sudden realization that Nick may not be aware of what his best friend would become three nights out of a month. “Natalie?”

Chapter 22: Any Means Necessary

“Learn anything?” Blake asked once Jessica made it back to Nick’s place. She handed him the bag she’d taken from Brody’s room filled with letters, notebooks and a map.

“The police have put an APB out on the Rolls Brody was driving that day but nothing’s come up yet. There haven’t been any demands, no phone calls made on her cell since 2pm on the day she went missing and they haven’t been able to trace the phone either. They believe it’s turned off which I can attest to seeing that she hasn’t answered any of our calls or texts.”

Chapter 17: Fusion

One week ago...

Blake growled and thrashed violently, throwing punches in the air in front of him as he sat up suddenly on the old, rickety cot situated in the corner of the room. His head was pounding and his gut was wrenched in knots. The stench of blood pervaded the small room causing his already upset stomach to test his gag reflex. Crawling out of the bed, he stumbled through the door of the cabin and into the main room of the place.

Chapter 16: Full Moon

Run! Faster! Blake kept telling himself as he found himself being chased by some unseen force. Darkness grew quickly encompassing the area throwing ominous shadows onto the ground he could see. The moon lit a path through the forest but it wasn’t necessary; he found he could see through even the darkest of nights. Trees broke somewhere behind him as he ducked beneath a low hanging branch to get free of the woods. He needed to get to the cabin, then it would all be ok.
