I fell back before the commander, who increasingly lost his human appearance, resembling a giant wolf much more than a man, so Henry’s cry stood out louder than all those angry voices. — JOHN IS NOT THOMAS! — Said Henry kneeling before the body. — It’s a Exchanger. — Derek added. All agitated glances turned to the inert body on the floor, before our eyes "Thomas" was metamorphosing into a completely different man. Starting with his skin that took on a gray color, his body was of a young man, he was with open mouth revealing sharp teeth, his eyes were black, and he had long black hair that went up to his back, when he fell to the ground, a silver dagger fell next to him, shining. I looked at the commander who gradually contained his transformation, he looked at me, and I could see pain in his eyes. I was still sitting on the floor, paralyzed with all that, then I felt hands lift me up, and when I looked back I saw Lina with her reassuring gaze. — Get her out. NOW! — the c

I walked from side to side, my heart racing. My sweating hands and the room though huge seemed to get smaller with every step I took, days had passed since the night of the Changing, as far as I knew Dimitri and Mr. Leon had gone to rescue Mr. Sallow. Lina explained to me about the war of the Minkovis Secret Order, very effective assassins, I had no more foreboding since that night, and John avoided me as if I were the devil. The door opened and Lina came in. — Ah! Lina! — Madam is not a good idea. — she said. Tomorrow morning the elders would arrive, and I would be introduced to them, but before that I had to go to the temple, find the priestess of which Dimitri spoke, Whatever was happening to me I didn’t trust that elders who decreed the death of women they thought had cunning powers could help me, I needed to see the priestess. — Lina today is Full Moon, it’s the perfect distraction! — I spoke and walked to her, I was very agitated. She sighed and looked at me. — But madam

Dimitri The ship made a long journey to Abdullah. And all the way I didn’t sleep right, Leon only talked to me as needed, and yet I could see the effort he made, couldn’t say I cared about the discomfort he felt around me, he smelled her on me, weaker now, because of the weather, But still it enveloped me like a soft perfume, and when I looked into his eyes I saw how much he hated me for it, because I was not a wolf but a snake, a bastard, but a bastard who possessed the soft scent of the woman he most likely loved. I almost felt sorry for him for always being alone, the night before our arrival at Abdullah I saw him on deck, leaning over the rail looking at the darkness of the waves, the moon shining, the night before he had locked himself in the cabin and taken a potion of Servin, a kind of wolf sedative, it kept his transformation under control. I approached slowly and looked at the sea, by my peripheral vision I saw him look at me in silence. — It is not enough to pollute our

When I left the hall I thought I would never find Elder Lee again, since he had been gone for so long. However, as I walked down the hall without much hope of meeting him I saw him standing on a wall, leaning back looking at his hands, so absorbed that he didn't notice my presence until I called out to him. — Elder Lee... what are you doing here? He crossed his pale arms and sighed, then looked through me into the corridor, his gaze apprehensive, I had surprised him. — I am waiting for my servant, he is getting the horses ready for me to leave. — he replied uneasily. I moved closer to him, reducing the distance between us. — Were you going to leave without saying goodbye? Don't you think that's very rude? He smiled. A forced smile. — Fortunately you spare me this embarrassment by being here in front of me, I must say goodbye and my lady can convey my sincerest apologies for leaving so soon. — he said. The servant arrived and Lee's face flooded with relief, he quickly walked pa

John kissed me intensely, exploring my mouth, his hands running all over my body, his kiss was possessive and urgent, and I gasped at the weight of his body on mine, my hands stroking his hair.He stood up a little and removed the jacket he was wearing, then his shirt, then I admired him, under the candlelight of that room, his defined chest, the hard lines of muscle in his belly, there wasn't an ounce of fat on him, he was all muscle, his shoulders broad and strong.He put his strong arms around me and I spread my legs wider so that he could get comfortable, and that's exactly what he did, he lay down and looked at me.His face still urged with desire, and my whole body burned for him, I knew he could hear my heart, but I felt no shame that he knew how it made my heart beat in my chest.I could no longer run away from these feelings, and neither could the commander, because somehow I felt that it was predestined that our hearts would meet.John looked at me, his black eyes shining li
