The Wolf In Me

Chapter 18 Back At The Moon Shine Pack

Part 1 Settling in

Luka's pov

Months have passed since the battle, and everything felt more at ease. The air was warmer around our packhouse and everyone looked happier. The usual routine was getting more and more familiar with the pack through some different activities were necessary to make life more interesting, so I asked Jake to help me in organising something for the coming weekend.

The day we settled back in our bedroom, I noticed the picture my ex-boss gave me. It was still on the dressing table where I left it. I took it and observed it intently but it was too blurry to tell what the camera managed to capture. Something told me that there was more to it, and so I felt the urge to investigate further. I knew that Mei hid the truth from me last time we spoke of it, but this time, I needed to persuade her to tell me all about it. Whilst she was brushing her long brown hair, I placed the picture on the dressing table in front of her and pointed at it.

"Well...you promised to tell me about it someday. I think I've waited long enough," I told her softly.

Placing down the brush back in its place, she took the picture and sighed whilst observing it intently.

"That is called an Aergon. It's not something of this earth but rather something from... Hell. Well, it was known to avoid reflections, including snapshots like this, hence the reason why it is blurred. It rarely resurfaces from it's hiding, yet when it does it brings terror to anyone that lays eyes on it. Most of the time it comes out at night to feed off people's fears. My suggestion is to avoid getting near it," she said turning her head to my direction.

"wow. That's great, just great..so, first a feud with the vampires, now, we have a demon on the loose!" I murmured snatching the photo of the dressing table, turning towards the bin.

I was almost going to throw it away when Mei stopped me, holding my arm from moving forward.

"I wouldn't if I were you. Keep it, just in case. Those demons hate photos, as I said. You can never tell when you need one."

She arched her eyebrows as she spoke, to make her point look more influential. She slowly took it and placed it in a box she keeps under her bed.

"Just in case. I'm safekeeping it," She explained, closing back the box, tucking it back under the bed.

"Aren't we going to chase it? I don't like to have such a dangerous creature around us, especially when this guy here joins our pack."

I grabbed hold of her belly with one of my large hands and rested the other one on her lower back.

He was too close not to turn me on. His scent was too strong to suppress my need for him. I tiptoed to lock his lips against mine, holding each other into an embrace. We hadn't had time for each other ever since we were planning on getting rid of the bloodsuckers. He leaned me down on the bed gently, unzipping his blue hoodie, exposing his strong bare chest. I watched him get naked as I suppressed my lower lip between my teeth, feeling hungry for his love. His eyes fell on my exposed breasts as I started to unfold my curves slowly, allowing him to get as ravenous as I felt.

"Come here, baby. Come," I said using my sexy voice, motioning with my finger for him to get closer.

"Hmmmmm, you look... Stunning my love," he said using his deeper voice, arching himself slowly over my laid down body.

"Stop talking, and start working darling. You don't get paid if you don't work hard, you know that, don't you?"

I used my index finger to fake draw on his chest, moving over his tattoo, then wrapped my arms around his neck to bring him close to my chest. He started to kiss me all over, hitting the right spots, over and over again, as he moved his hand softly against my curves. He smoothly parted my legs to allow himself to get in between, thrusting his hardened part inside me. We were both in ecstasy, sensing every motion, intertwined in each other's bodies. Our breathing felt heavier as things got more intense until our bodies felt numb. I felt myself reaching sky-high as my body shook with all the passion, and soon enough he filled me with his seeds as he breathed against my neck. Our bodies fell on the bed, cracking up as we gazed into each other's eyes.

It was around noon when we heard a knock at the door. We were still naked, asleep in bed when I heard the door slightly open.

"Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry" is all I heard whilst I allowed myself to lift my head over Luka, to check who it was.

The door was already shut, the moment I managed to get up and out of bed. Luka was fast asleep and he didn't notice anything. I covered his body with the bedsheets and dressed myself up before opening the door slightly to check who tried to barge in.

"Hey, what is going on Steph?" I asked, closing the door behind me as I settled myself in the corridor.

"Oh my, that was so embarrassing, I'm sorry. I swear I won't...." I rolled my eyes, knowing that she was going to make an extra-long explanation just to try and justify herself.

"What do you want?" I mumbled urging her to be on point.

"Its, Well, we received a call from a human's old peoples home and they wanted to talk to Luka privately. They are still on the line waiting" she explained.

I stared for a moment, thinking of what I should do as I knew that it might be an important call regarding Luka's stepmother.

"He can't answer right now, so they have to talk to me," I said convincingly.

"How did they get the number anyway?" I wondered, now moving towards the stairs clasping my hand around the wooden staircase.

Steph shook her head whilst rushing down behind me, trying to keep up.

"Hello?" I answered about taking the phone down in the main area.

"Uh, hi. Is this Luka talking?" Some male voice said from the other side.

"Don't you recognise a male, from a female voice sir?" I asked bluntly.

"I'm his partner," I explained,

"He is asleep at the moment, so I can give him your message as soon as he wakes."

I waited for an answer but the guy remained quiet for a while.

"Hello?" I tried once again.

"Ah, sorry madam but I think that he should come over to see his mother before she passes. She has just asked for him and gave me this number."

Hanging up, I rushed upstairs to Luka, shaking him from his wake.

"Luka, wake up, you must dress up and go to your mum's home. She asked for you and it doesn't seem like she is in good shape," I explained, picking a grey shirt and blue jeans for him.

"Here, now hurry up and go to her before it's too late!"

Luka's POV

I started the car engine, my mind all over the place, wondering when she managed to get her memories back. I was hoping that I would make it on time before its too late. I wrote the address on my GPS app which read 35 minutes drive. I pressed down the gas pedal and drove fast, trying to arrive earlier than the expected time. Soon enough I was running up the hall to her ward, where she was laying beneath the clean white sheets. The air was filled with the scent of someone dying and surely I knew from where it was coming.

I took a moment for myself, feeling a lump in my throat, trying to build up the courage to go into her room. The last time we spoke, I was into a full-on rage with her. She took care of me like I was her true son and until now, it never occurred to me that I was being a stubborn moron. My fingers brushed down on the doorknob as I inhaled deeply, before pressing it down to open. Her eyes slowly turned to meet mine as they twinkled with joy.

"My son. I knew you would come back to me," she said between breathing.

"Mum," I said drowning into her embrace.

"I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry," I cried out, as tears rolled down my face, "I shouldn't have left you like that."

She didn't utter a word for quite a while as her lips moved like a weak paper between her missing teeth.

"How have you grown so old in just a few months?" I asked now realising that there was something I missed.

"It's....him," she replied weakly, pointing at something opposite her.

My instinct was to turn, but something stopped me from doing so, like a feeling I couldn't control. My eyes widened as I picked up an unusual scent getting stronger, feeling like it was getting nearer until it left in split seconds.

That is when I was able to turn around and spotted its last glimpse of the shadow that was left behind before it faded into nothing. It must be that thing from the picture, I thought, now turning back to look at mother. Her eyes were wide open, and her body was as stiff as a rock, still holding her hand outward.

"Nurse, anyone, please, help her," I yelled, yet knowing that she was already gone as I could smell the scent of death already covering every corner of the room.
