“Come on, Aiden. We’ve been cooped up for weeks. What’s the worst that can happen?” Charlie said.
“It’s only a few drinks in the pub. Go out and enjoy yourselves,” Sarah said.
Charlie looked at Aiden eagerly then thigh fived Sarah when he nodded. He wasn’t much of a drinker or one for socialising but things had been oddly quiet and almost normal for the last few weeks since he had left Rafael's villa.
“I’ll go get ready, then,” Charlie said, practically bouncing out of the living room door.
Aiden waited to hear her footsteps upstairs then asked, “Did you visit the circle?”
“I did,” Sarah sighed. “It was what I expected it to be. The King refused to lift the binding. I’m still powerless to help protect h

“Shush! Sarah will hear and think we’re up to something good but I don’t mind if you throw me on that bed.” Aiden tried to ignore the way Charlie bit her lip, the same way he had tried to ignore her flirtatious teasing as he carried her back to Sarah’s. “She isn’t home,” he said, kicking the bedroom door closed. “Ha, ha! Perfect. In that case, we can be as noisy as you like.” A shudder ran down his spine as Charlie ran her fingers through his hair and gently tugged his face towards hers. “I know you want this, Aiden.” She reached up with her other hand, gripping his chin forcefully. “Charlie, I…” A burst of electricity ran through his body at the touch of h

“Good morning,” Sarah said as Charlie walked into the kitchen. “Coffee is in the pot.” “Thank you. I didn’t wake you when I got in last night, did I?” Aiden had said Sarah wasn’t home but after the amount of noise Aiden had made her make, she wanted to make sure. “Oh, no. I wasn’t home and you were flat out by the time I strolled in. End up a little wide for wear, did you?” Charlie smirked and took a sip of her coffee. “Is everything okay? With you being out so late, I mean,” Charlie asked. Sarah grabbed the freshly popped toast and smiled as she held out a slice for Charlie to take. “Everything is fine, don’t worry, honey. I just had some Faery things to do, that’s all. It kept me out a little late but then, it usually does. How was your night?”

“I’m going to take a shower. You’re welcome to join me,” Aiden said, placing a kiss on Charlie’s forehead. “Hmm, that sounds wonderful but I promised Sarah I would go shopping with her and then help her bake.” “Shoved over for cookie dough, huh?” Charlie laughed and prodded her belly, “Of course! This hot body of mine needs a lot of care and attention, you know.” “Hmm, it is a very, very hot body. I have to agree,” Aiden said as he leaned forward and kissed her naked belly button. “Behave. You’ve already had enough this morning and last night, too, for that matter,” Charlie said, kissing his lips as she dived out of bed. “Are you not going to answer that?”
Metamob Chapter Eighteen
Sarah's heart raced as she stood at the corner of the street. It had been years since she had been in the tiny village but it hadn’t changed at all. She could see the house that she needed to go to, but her feet were rooted to the pavement. “Now I know where Aiden gets it from,” she said to herself. “Are you just going to stand there all day or are you coming in?” Sarah smiled at the voice from behind her. It hadn’t changed at all, neither had the way her stomach fluttered when he was near her. “Good to see you, Benjamin. You’re looking well.” “As opposed to normally looking ill?” He said. “I’m guessing this isn’t a social call, is it?” There was no denying the hope in his v
Metamob Chapter Nineteen
Aiden shuffled his foot as he waited for Sarah and Charlie to appear from the building that housed Sarah's office. She had gone to arrange emergency personal leave, ready for the road trip to Scotland. It had been almost half an hour but there was no sign of them at all. Filled with concern, he crossed the road to look for them, then stopped. There was something in the air, something different about the way it smelled. “Wolf,” he mumbled. His stomach flooded to bursting, with a mix of fear and worry, while his mind wouldn’t stop with ‘what if' as he followed the scent. Trying to convince himself that he was overreacting, he rounded the corner onto an empty street. The scent grew stronger with each step that he took, but then suddenly faded when he'd walked halfway down the street. Aiden looked around in confusion, then backtracke

As soon as he stepped outside, Aiden heard a heart-stopping snarl that sent every hair on his body standing on end. He had just enough time to dive out of the way of the huge brown wolf, as it came hurtling towards him with all its teeth bared and saliva dripping from its muzzle. “Holy shit!” Aiden scrambled to his feet and ran to the corner of the pub where he crouched low, waiting to see what the wolf would do next. He didn’t need to wait long. The wolf pushed off from the tarmac, its powerful back legs propelling it into the air towards Aiden. His heart thudded in his chest and ears as the huge front paws loomed towards him. Aiden ran forward, towards the snarling wolf, then dropped to his back on the tarmac. Raising his legs, he put all his strength into making his feet connect with the wolf’s soft underbelly. The

Charlie screamed in horror as she watched Aiden raise his arms over his face, then disappear under the weight of the massive brown wolf.“Aiden!” Sarah screamed from beside her.The brown wolf snarled and began walking slowly towards her and Sarah, never taking its eyes away from her. Her heart screamed at her that Aiden was dead and it was all because of her while her brain shouted to run for her life but without Aiden, she was as good as dead, anyway.“Aiden!” Sarah screamed again.“Run! Sarah, run for fuck sake!” Charlie shouted to her.Sarah, tears streaming down her face, shook her head. "I can't."<

“How did you do it?” Sarah asked.Aiden shrugged his shoulders then winced as pain shot through his arm and neck. “I don’t know. I just touched his fur and then the next thing l knew, my skin was being ripped apart and then I was charging at him, ready to rip his throat out.”“Your father told me the first time is always the worst and each time afterwards, it gets easier and less painful to shift. How do you feel now?”Aiden was hurting but it wasn’t the broken arm or the fast healing scratches that was causing it. “A little wounded but strangely, I feel better than I did an hour ago.”“That will be the regeneration.

Epilogue Part Two
Swatting sprite filled flowers away from his face, Edmeed ran as fast as his old bones would carry him. The king would be furious with him but there was no other choice. He had to find Sarah and her mate and convince them to help. It was the only way to protect his beloved Faerie from the Black Seel. Edmeed sucked in a breath as he reached the portal that would take him to Salisbury. He didn’t even bother to Feel for humans as he charged through, hitting the rough grass at a run and almost toppling over. He was getting too old for midnight missions to the human plane and too breathless, too. He picked his robes up and held them against his waist as he ran down from the Power Stones, mentally swearing at himself for not changing to human attire before leaving the castle. There hadn’t been time for changing, but he regretted not making the time as his spindly naked legs s

Epilogue Part One
Jarrah forced his feet to move faster as he walked through the Elven forest. He would have run if he could have done, but he needed to look somewhat natural as he made his way to the portal. It was bad enough that he was the one having to report back to Edmeed. The last thing he wanted to do was to attract unnecessary attention, especially with what was going on. “Jarrah! It’s been absolutely ages since you visited us.” His heart hit the roof of his mouth as his feet froze mid-step at the sound of Adilyn’s voice. Of all the people that could be lurking in the forest, it had to be her. “Hey, yeah, I was just on my way to see you,” he lied, turning to face the nymph. Her beauty knocked him for six, as it alway

Charlie watched Aiden with a heart filled with joy as he walked between groups of Red Dawn members, meeting and greeting them with a huge smile on his face. She knew it was probably a front but nobody but her and Sarah would be able to tell."He's come a long way these last few weeks, hasn't he?"Charlie looked at Sarah, her eyes entering with tears of joy. "He has. I knew he was special when I first met him but the things he's told me and what he's grown into in such a short time has blown my mind. He was so hard-hearted and now all I see is a wounded man who would love unconditionally if he found the right person.""He will, one day. Just be patient with him, honey.""Have you dec

"Help me up, please, Sarah. I need to sort this out. He's as stubborn as you are," Ben said."Oh no, that's entirely on you," Sarah laughed.Pain shot through him as Sarah and Aiden lifted him to standing and helped him walk to a bench at the side of the village square. Wincing, he sat down and looked at the faces around him."Aiden, seriously. You have a big decision to make. I know you've never had a lack before and you're probably wondering what planet you've just landed on, but rules are rules.

Aiden watched in confusion as Simon tilted his head back and howled to the sky. He had never heard such a long and purposeful howl before and within a few seconds, others began to join in, too. The noise sent chills through him, making his hackles stand on end, but not through fear. He had this strange feeling of acceptance inside of him, threatening to make him swell with pride. He had never felt like that before and as Simon trailed the howl to a close, Aiden felt a touch of loss, as though he had just lost something that he needed in his life.Simon began to walk forward and Aiden saw that he had been guarding Ben, who was lying on the floor in his human form. Pain was riddled across his face as he lay there watching him, standing over his gruesome winnings. As Simon approached, he lowered his head to the floor, then followed with his front legs, then his belly

Aiden sniffed the air as he ran. He had been trying to find a familiar scent since leaving Charlie and Sarah but all he could smell were other wolves that he didn’t recognise. How the hell am I supposed to find him, if I can’t smell him? He wondered as he dodged trees and ferns. A crash suddenly sounded from his left and as he changed his direction, he caught the faint scent of humans. Picking up speed as he ran, it wasn’t long before he saw the village beginning to break through the tree line.Alpha, his wolf said as he ran towards the village wall.I’m not looking for their bloody Alpha. I’m looking for Ben, Aiden told the wolf, but sure enough, as he closed the gap between him and the wall, he saw a wolf leap into the air, then get knocked to the ground by another wol

I’m so sorry I called you a monster. I’m so sorry.”“Shush. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re okay. You are okay, aren’t you?” He asked. He knew it was a stupid question, after all, she had been through but it just seemed like the right thing to ask.“Nothing that won’t heal in time.

Charlie’s heart hit her mouth at the same time as her body stiffened and sent her stomach plummeting to the dirt below her feet. She had been panicking when Sarah had pulled her to a standstill but the sea of calm in her eyes as she spoke, had eased Charlie’s fears and made her think everything was going to be okay. But, it wasn’t. She knew that as soon as her worst nightmare had stepped out from the tree.“That was a wonderful thing for you to have done. Your words were truly magical and extremely convincing,” Rafael said.“Run,” Charlie whispered. “Run and don’t look back, no matter what.”“You know, Maria.
