He hugged Emily into him and dragged her into a nearby café. “I want to sit outside,” she said.“Your wish is my command my lady,” he smiled.The café had a large queue that snaked past the bakery counter. The smell of freshly baked pastries filled the air and the sound of the coffee machines buzzed in the background. Emily sniffed in deeply through her nose and her mind became aroused with the burnt aroma from the coffee beans.“Oh I love the smell of fresh coffee,” she said. “I still drink tea though,” she giggled.They eventually got to the front of the queue, their tray was filled with freshly baked pastries and a ceramic pot filled with hot tea. They made their way out onto the pavement, and the sun was warm and comforting.“Seriously Jared. What’s happening between us?” she said.“I don’t know,” he replied.“What is it you are afraid of?” she said.“Buggering up your life, Emily,” he replied. “If we got together, I’m still going to be what I am. I’m still going to be a beast and that will never change. You have your life in front of you, Emily, and you’re going to become a very famous artist.”She smiled.“I will wait for you Jared. I will wait until you realise it’s okay to be in a relationship again. I know that you’re afraid of being hurt,” she said.Jared sipped on his tea and stared into her serious eyes. Some of what she said was true, but all he had on his mind was the serum. He could not possibly think about anything else, until that matter was well and truly closed.

Here is a preview:He leaned back against the white gazebo post, staring at Cassie’s front door. Hers was a simple house, two stories, cracker box style, but well-kept and classy. There was already a pumpkin on the porch steps, but it wasn’t lit and upstairs, in Cassie’s bedroom, little orange lights blinked around her windows. He watched her shadow flit back and forth, pacing, the other lights in the house dark.Were her parents already asleep? There was no car in the drive, so… maybe her Dad was a traveling salesman or something. Or maybe her Mom was. The rain came down, his legs cooled off and Fitz must have dozed off for a moment or two because suddenly there was Snort, snack cake wrappers crackling and the ice in a 64-ounce cup of soda sloshing around.“This should get you back up to speed,” he said, handing over a bag full of junk food and the giant soda. Fitz immediately sucked on the straw, draining a quarter of the sweet soda before gasping for breath. “Thanks, Snort, I owe you.” He returned to the soda, the sugar filling his cells and bringing him back to life. “You keep saying that,” Snort joked, snatching a single candy bar for himself, “but I don’t see any payoff yet.”Fitz choked down a laugh, putting down the soda and grabbing a chocolate frosted cupcake and downing it in two bites. There were three more in the bag and he ate them all, one after the other, chasing them down with soda, sweet soda, until the cup was dry and he slumped back against the gazebo railing, eyelids fluttering with the sweet sugar rush.“You think I put back all the calories I burned?” Fitz asked, voice no longer so hoarse and husky.“And then some,” Snort snorted around the last bite of his candy bar.

Take all the time you need to take.”“Hey can I borrow a shirt?”“But of course you can, after all, you are my buddy my pal!”Fitz laughed and he was slowly changing back into himself. If he wolfed out while eating a steak he could only imagine what was going to happen when the moon was full. Snort came back with a black shirt, and Fitz changed while Snort cleaned up the shredded piece of meat that was on the floor. Fitz was scared, more scared than he had ever been, but he had no other choice then to tell Cassie what he truly was. He looked at the clock and saw that it was time to leave. He knew that he had to use every ounce of his strength not to change; he was scared and had to calm down.

Ruby, what do you really want?” she asked. Emily liked her new look, but a compliment from this girl seemed strange. She stared at Ruby; she really was exotically stunning, although her amber eyes seemed to be soaked with sadness. She had three rings through her left nostril and two rings in her lower lip. Surprisingly, they added to her beauty. “I want you to stay away from Jared,” she said. “We were supposed to be married you know.”“I can’t do that Ruby,” said Emily. “I love him.”“Well that makes two of us then,” said Ruby. For the first time, her voice was just as sad as it was haunting and Emily stopped walking and turned to look closely at the other girl. The two of them stood staring at each other. “You won’t win, Emily. Take this as a friendly warning,” said Ruby. “Take the train back to London and forget about Jared. He belongs to our pack and we want him to return to us.” Ruby turned and walked away, she did not look back; but Emily had heard something in her voice. It was lack of conviction, even desperation, and if gave Emily hope beyond any she had experienced since the day she’d walked in on the two of them. She let her fear flow from her body.

He wanted to know why in the world his mind was filled with images of the girl at the restaurant.

Was it possible he would be linked to a girl not of the breed? It was making his head swim, and he wasn’t ready to talk to his grandfather. It was strange.

The thought of being married to another monster was impossible!It wasn’t the first time that Jared cursed his existence and the two forces within him that made his life a constant and unending battle for dominion.

She would scour the area looking for him. She would begin at the Arc de Triomphe and work her way down through the popular shopping streets, alongside the river seine and down to the beautiful gardens, finishing at the famous Louvre museum.Within forty minutes Emily was ready to go, as she approached the door she discovered a note that had been left. She picked up the expensive looking envelope and opened it.“Jared is at the Villas Champs Elysee if you wish to see him. Give your name to the doorman and go straight to the Loft Villa. He will be waiting.”Emily knew that this was a trap, but she had no choice. She was desperate to be with Jared, even if it meant she would be risking her life. She had a look at the attached map and determined she could walk there in a little under ten minutes. She set off and got there quickly. The doorman instantly knew who she was and pointed to the lift. She got into the lift and pressed the button to take her to the Loft Villa As she knocked on the door it slowly opened.“Hello, anyone there?” she shouted.No reply. She moved further into the villa. She walked through the vast contemporary lounge. It was spacious and dominated by light. She moved into the hallway and could see the bedroom at the end of it. She cautiously crept towards the bedroom and could hear giggling. As she entered, what she saw made her feel physically sick.“Oh Jared I love you so much,” said Ruby.

This is not something they teach us in school Cassie.”Cassie looked over at Fitz and suddenly wished that had kept her mouth shut.
