My hands trembled around the cold glass of the beer bottle , and I swallowed lump in my the suddenly the suer of a golf ball I my life .
I had lived with these attributes and instiners and had grown up surrounded by them .

A sudden , and my eyes widened in frar vet 1 blurted , my voice laced wi 13 Chapter to she whipped her head toward me , eyebrows turned .
What is i What if Romans Talber is a vampire ? The words numbled out in a choked whisper is the same fear reflected in Eves eyes .
We both looked sowards ther window , where our niso lay bathed in the soft glow of the nightlight .
It can you inherit their genes .

Doubt it , she whispered hack , and then her eyes snapped back to me with newfound determination .
Hey , listen .

We will raise Ronan in the most boman way posible .
He wouldnt have to know that he is not even human .
I laughed , a dry , humourless sound .
Thighly doubt that .
Roman is a smart kid , and when he is eighteen , he will start seeing changes and start asking questions .
What about his first slufi ? He cant escape that , you know ! The realization dawned on Eves face , a slone , sickening spreail of dorad .
Thats true , she mumbled , reaching for her beer bottle .
Enough of the semusiness , oil .
You know how allergis 1 am to all slaese heavy talks .
When we get to that bridge , well cross it .
Right now , lets drink it away Ana gal I chirped , feeling a weight lift off my shoulders .
It was a relief in have this conversation and know that Eve didnt think differently of me Lets keep this from Gigi for now , okay ! She would be worried sick if she found out what happened to me ? Ive nodded a grim twist to her lips .
To our little secret , she said , raising her bottle in a toast .
Cheers Lechoedd clinking my bottle against hers .
Gaat had become like a mother to us , especially to me .
She doted on Ronan so much and even called him her grandson .
I knew she would be worried if she found out about the incident .
I didnt plan to just sit back and ignore it .
I needed to do some serious research and find out what was tally happening to me .
No matter how much I wanted to shove it under the rug , it might happen again .
And the last thing I wanted was to unleash thy inner monster on the people of this nice , small towIL .
The night air grew colder with each beer bottle emptied .
Eve and I shared a few more bottles , our conversation drifting into light hearted nostalgia .
We laughed and reminisced about simpler times until we decided to call it a night .
I cast a guilty glance at the half eaten chicken and the empty bottles of beer .
I was on a strict calorie diet and knew my calorie counter was screaming in protest , but tonight demanded a break and I allowed myself to enjoy , resolving to run off the extra calories in the morning .
Eve mentioned she would head to our diner across the street to meet someone , while I opted to curl up in bed with my precious baby .
I felt so tired and sleepy as I got inside , but I managed to take my shower since we had had a lot of customers during the day , and I sweated a little .
Yawning .
I gave my knotted muscles a sweet release with a streich .
I climbed into bed , ready to draw the blanket over me .
Just as I settled in, a shadow flickered past the window .
I sat up instantly , and threw the covers aside , wondering if Eve had returned from the diner already .
Ever I called out , my voice echoing in the stillness .
Whos there ? I asked getting up to check the door .
When no answer came , I froze in my No , thus wasnt Evr .
She never knocked before entering , and she certainly wasnt this quiet , I had left the door unlocked to avoid any disturbances when she returned .
The unlocked door suddenly felt like a foolish oversight .
My pulse quickened as I moved towards the door .
Too late .
The door splintered inwards , ripped from its hinges with a sickening crack .
A hulking figure filled the doorway .
I had seen him before .
At the club .
The hunk that was staring at me before the commotion .
My breath came in rapid , shallow pants as he flashed a toothy grin .
Hello , wolfe They found me Whoever they were , they found me .
My hunch about being followed was right , I knew instantly that he was a werewolf , and the sinking feeling in my gut told me he wasnt alone .
My survival instincts kicked in.
I was a warrior , a Luna , and although my combat skills had gone a little rusty , I could still fight .
Squaring my shoulders .
I man his gaze , forcing my voice steady .
Who are you ? What do you want ? The fear threatened to crack through , but I held it at bay .
This wasnt the time to crumble .
The mans grin was a slash of white against his shadowed face .
You are a wolf in sheeps clothing , or should I say human clothing ? Hiding amongst the human , are we , wolte ? he urled .
His voice sent shivers down my spine it was laced with a predatory hunger that made his words sound inuer like a growi .
Its time to come home and give us what we want .
The man sneered , taking a menacing step forward but I wasnt going to give up rauly Touldnt at them wake Ronan .
As he approached , I grabbed the ceramic flower vase on the nightstand and swung it at lum .
He caught it effortlessly and shook his head before tossing it away .
The vase shattered against the floor with a deafening crack .
This man was way bigger than mir , but I knew ways to take lim down .
Gritting my teeth .
I launched myself at him , adrenaline fuelling my movements .
I put my training to use .
We rachanged blows and grappled in a whirlwind of limbs and stark , but the man was a skilled warrior to , matching me move for move .
Just as I was gaining situr prouel , his counterpart entered the room .
Now , I was facing two formidable opponents .
Murnany ny : Romans small voice froợr me in niy paracks , breaking my focus I turned to see him santing up in bed , bus eyes wide with fear .
That moment of distraction was all it took .
The man grabbed me and tung me across the room .
1 Landed land , my head slamming against the table .
My vision blurred , and I felt a warm trickle down my temple .
I touched fingers coming away stained with blood .
The room spun as the two men advanced on me .
Ronans terrified shrick filled the air as he bravely lunged at one of the men , fuelled by a childs herce protectiveness , But he was easily swatted aside , tossed onto the bed like a ragdoll Just as they reached head my for me again , a sudden commotion erupted at the door , a whirlwind of fur and snarls .
In my fading vision , I saw two wolves lunge at the intruders .
The world then dissolved into darkness .
