"Who are you calling a murderer?" Jason demanded with so much anger in his eyes as he rose up abruptly.
I was already prepared to step up.
"You buddy. How about you tell her about that night?" Eli asked him
"What night? What is he talking about Jason?" I asked my husband
"Nothing, he's full of lies Miriam. Let's send him away." Jason said
"Or we could both tell our sides of the story." Eli said
"There is no story to tell." Jason yelled
"Oh but there is and I have a lot to say for that night fifteen years ago." Eli said
"You're delusional." Jason said to him
"Am I?" Eli demanded
"Enough both of you. We are going to take these things out without waking the kids or alerting the neighbors who by the way if you have forgotten are all humans." I said, reminding them when I noticed the change in their eye colors.
It took some time but then they both calmed down or rather pretended to calm down as they returned to their seats. I was glad I was beginning to get a hang of the situation but if I was being real, I was beginning to suspect that my dear husband has a lot of secrets and he might actually really know Jason and everything about that night. I had asked him severally in the past if he had known anything about any werewolf roaming the woods the night I had been stuck there but he had vehemently denied the knowledge of such things. He stated that he might have been a werewolf but he never came to those woods at night. On the other hand in the past, Eli had once said that those woods were really special to werewolves especially on nights of the full moon. I had dismissed those pairs of eyes to have been my imagination but right now, it was beginning to prickle my memory like it really was something important to all of this.
I looked now at Jason who was seated to my right and Jason on my left. They both were glaring when I cleared my throat and demanded that Jason proceeded with his own side of the story. Whichever way, we would certainly be getting to the root of everything tonight. I glanced at the clock ticking steadily and it was already 11:32pm and that meant a lot to me. I wanted to get all this sorted out so by the morning, I would know what fate has in stock for me. I asked Eli to please continue with what he was about saying and he nodded.
Eli had begun his side of the story.
Accordingly he had received a call that time when he was with me from my mom. It was a distress call and he could hear the sound in the background. She had called to say that they were stuck in the house and it was on fire. He had not wanted to cause me to be alarmed so he decided to leave me in the woods as he was thinking it was just some normal fire which he could put out. He also would not want me to panic so he had to leave.
He got to the house only to realize that the fire was really bad and there were people already gathered outside calling for the fire fighters of the county. None was answering and as he said so, I saw myself glance at Jason. His brother was in charge of the firefighters.
"We received no calls that night because all our lines were down." Jason defended but I said nothing.
Eli continued.
He decided to go find a way to rescue them but to his surprise, someone had locked them in on the outside and there was some sort of wooden seal nailed like it was intentional. He had no idea but then he started kicking again from the back door when someone had suddenly covered his face. Before he could struggle, he was injected with something that not only weakened his body but then it was burning him on the inside. He had been taken from around the back and when he woke up, it was deep in other parts of the wood that he found himself. It felt scary and strange but he was weak and surrounded by people. He tried to get up and fight but the least he could do was half sit up as it felt like his body was on fire. It was wolfsbane. The most poisonous thing anyone could give a werewolf.
The leader of the pack that had attacked him had squatted in front of him and touched his face before laughing that he was the last of the Sky Vale pack and how he was subsuming power by finishing them off. It was all about power and the fact that they werewolves could no longer keep unnecessary peace when they should be dominating. However, he told Eli that it was so unfortunate that he would never see it happen nor would he die quickly. He was going to make him suffer.
Quickly, he had already dug a grave and had a coffin made of pure argentum (silver) ready. He wore strong gloves before proceeding to point at something to Eli who followed with his eyes. There was a whole field of wolfsbane in that wood. There was also one that was so long they connected its extensions into the coffin where they put Eli into. These extensions were wrapped around him but more around his neck and he slowly felt his life leaving him. He could not even fight for his freedom before he had his coffin plunged into the grave while he was still alive and there he had been buried. In the fields of wolfsbane.
This was where he remained for the last fifteen years and he eventually slipped into semi death which is something popular with the supernatural. There he remained asleep for all these fifteen years. No one found him. No one at least until something strange had happened.
Apparently someone had come and cleared the area where he had been buried which included the wolfsbane field. There was construction ongoing and it took him weeks to revive as the wolfsbane around his neck had to die first before he could open his eyes and started banging at his coffin until it opened a little. For two nights, he had been weakly trying to find his way out. The previous night apparently it had rained the previous day too thereby washing the soil a little and making it lighter. He was able to fully open the coffin and crawled out. It took him time to revive himself but then he got enough strength to go to my place but I was not there. As it would seem, I have not been there for a really long time as he could not catch my scent. So he went through my things and from the picture in my sitting room, he had realized I was remarried but within town.
"How did you find me then?" I asked
"It was not hard really. I finally got a little strength thanks to my anger and my new found position as an Omega to capture one of his goons which by the way is dead." he said
"You did what?" Jason demanded angrily
"Fine but how can you accuse my husband?" I asked
"Because Miriam, he was that alpha that had buried me alive." Eli said.
"He's a liar, Miriam. This is why I insisted on letting him go." Jason suddenly screamed.It was clear something was amiss. In all my time with Jason, he has never done anything that would make me suspect him of anything like this as he happened to be the most calm person ever. At this point I had no idea what I should believe anymore but I needed to hear at least Jason's side of the story. That should be enough to make me decide but if I was being honest, right now I feared that a lot of things about me might be a lie. I calmed myself down and then turned to stare at Jason."J you said you found the necklace at the cliff right?" I asked him"You don't believe me?" he asked me suddenly squinting his eyes"Wait, the necklace of us both which he stole from my neck before wrapping that damned plant around my neck?" Eli suddenly asked me"Enough Eli!!! I'm talking to my husband right now." I screamed at Eli suddenly and honestly I felt bad about doing that. I knew I had hurt his feelings
JASON'S POVA banshee? This is impossible.I could not believe that this was the case right now. I had been living with my family's impending doom all these years and even dared to have children with her. I recalled how I had made certain to find out that she had no powers before pulling off the attack on their family. Yes, Eli just might have stated everything as truthfully as possible but seriously, what did I care about it?Years back, we had been working against the other pack of wolves and rounding them off as my family sought just one thing and that was dominance. I mean, we wolves were not wolves for nothing as it was clear what our supremacy was. To think that our kind hid in the shadows and in fear of the human race was simply something I could not understand. It did not make sense. How would one hold so much power and still be afraid to show it off.I had been tutored by my father himself and it had been his goal all these years but apparently, he did not have the strength
ELI'S POVI groaned heavily as I started healing. He actually had gotten me really good and it took a while because this was a fatal blow on my chest area and I could hear as muscles and sinews intertwined alongside cut arteries. Was this guy seriously trying to kill me in front of Miriam? Wait, Miriam. I had heard her scream earlier but I had an inkling she was safe. No way he would harm his own wife. Perhaps, he had just threatened her and made his way away from her and she might have fainted. But as the last part of my opened chest healed, I caught on with the scent of blood. That was not wolf's blood, it was human. Quickly I rose up and turned to find her lying on the stairs in the pool of her blood. No way in the world would I let her die on me. I rushed over and held her in my arms. She was bloodied as her side was bleeding badly obviously where he had gotten her and so was the back of her head that she had landed on the ground."Miriam.... Miriam!!! Don't do this to me. Miriam
MIRIAM'S POVI felt the cool air across my face and realized that I probably was in an open space as I simultaneously opened my eyes to gaze at the hay above me. It had to be hay, made into a rough covering over what seemed like a wooden shed. I realized I had been laying on a really big rock and got up immediately. Looking down, I lifted my camisole and discovered my stomach was wrapped with a bandage like material. Where was I and who had brought me here? I wondered as I looked around.I suddenly could hear someone approaching and quickly, I ducked as I hid behind the rock and listened. The person walked and stopped right in front of the shed as he suddenly dropped something. "Miriam?" He called out to me.It was Eli and I slowly made it out of my hiding spot."Where are we?" I asked him.He smiled as he rushed over to me and grabbed me in a tight embrace. I tried to stop him because of my large bandage but it was too late as he grabbed me tightly in an embrace. Surprisingly, I did
ELI'S POVI had been sent across and the impact was both painful as it was shocking. I could not imagine any other way for her to have done that until she raised her camisole and I caught sight of her healing wound. She stared down at it and then in horror as it was moving quickly let go of her camisole. She turned to look at me helplessly as fear was lined in her eyes boldly."What is happening to me?" She asked me.I finally found my bearing and I rose up as I approached her tentatively. I had just the clear cut answer to that but it was confusing. Miriam was becoming a werewolf or rather, had already become one as she had claws and her eyes blazed yellow. We would get around as to the reason her eyes were yellow but what we needed to do now was to get her to calm down otherwise she just might lose it and we all know that fear, anxiousness and anger were werewolves triggers. I was in no shape right now to start handling a youngling. That is what we refer to our newly transitioning w
MIRIAM'S POVMy eyes were what?I could not believe what he had just said to me. I could hear the sound of rushing water from afar as I had come to discover that my senses had become heightened. Intuitively, I made a run for it as I discovered how fast I was actually. This was strange but I had my mind fixed on achieving just one goal at this point and that was for me to get away from this place and see for myself, what monster I had become. I could hear Eli right behind me as he called out to me but I was on fire.I arrived right at the place where there was a waterfall and I could not believe what I was seeing. By normal human standards, the waterfall was actually really far from where we were and should have taken an automobile to get there in time as I had but right now, it only took me a couple of minutes. I had not imagined that I would be able to hear it as clearly as I had when I had been far away but even more deafening was the sound of it now that I was up close.I stood at
ELI'S POVI had to tell her as there was actually no telling what tomorrow holds for us. As far as I could understand it, we might wake up tomorrow and discover that I was dead. Jason would probably will my death so freaking much that all werewolves sired to him would attempt to kill me and that included my dear Miriam. I sincerely hoped that our mate bond was stronger than his sire bond alongside her will for vengeance. I smiled at her reassuringly as I needed her to understand that I was going to be here for her."Miriam, you need to remain calm and understand one thing." I said to her,"What thing?" She asked me."I would never leave your side. Now, I believe you could count on your powers as a banshee to hold him off." I said to her suggesting that might actually be possible."Powers of a banshee? Eli, I only realized I had such powers by chance and I probably would not be able to tap into them right now." She said to me,"You should try. We just need to get you connected to the r
MIRIAM'S POVI have no idea why but seeing the man grabbing Eli threateningly and with a knife seemed to get me really angry. It was not the usual fear but a demand within that I rip his head off. I suddenly pictured how I was going to do it and somehow I knew it would definitely gladden my heart. I was already back counting in my head for when I would carry out the act when Eli stepped up and in a quick motion, he disarmed the really big man and pressed his arm behind his back forcing him to cry out in pain."Listen mate, we do not want any trouble." Eli whispered to him."So did I." The man in pain cried out."Then scram." Eli said as he pushed him away.I was taken aback as I stared at him. The feeling I was getting was beginning to calm down. Eli rushed over to me as he checked me."Are you alright?" He asked me, rubbing my shoulders like it was a calming therapy. I looked up at him."Eli, something is happening to me. I wanted to kill that man so badly." I said to him,He hugged
