Fates Hands novel Chapter 114

Chapter 16-Book 3

Selena just finished the last of the potions for the werelion families that decided to overthrow the family of the Bennets and put an end to their reign of power.

Frankly, she thought of them as an example of when greed replaces rational thinking. They are so busy being concerned about how much power and money they will make they don’t know how good they have it. O

Selena always found that in times like these you can see the true character of the individual. The greedy and the egotistical tyrants always pop up like daisies on a sunny day.

It made her job so much easier, she knew who she could trick and manipulate and those who she will have to destroy to get them out of her way.

This potion will indeed help those morons to achieve their goals. The second that they do though it will rebound on them and they will become her mindless army. Hers to command as she sees fit and she sees fit to turn them on the other Wereshifters. O

Still, the beast has not returned yet with the blood samples she wanted. She knew it would take him a while but not this long. Even if he failed he should have come crawling back to her, she loved when he did that.

She wondered how he would feel? If he knew that all these hundreds of years that he was groveling at her feet begging for her love and mercy.

She laughed at that thought, oh, the look on his handsome face. The horror of his realization.

Perhaps at that moment when he lay dying by her hand, she will whisper his name into his ear. Watch his face at the last moment as his memories all come back to him, too late. 2

Beast followed the trail into the desert, he thought it was very logical on their part. If it wasn’t for the crystal he never would have found them.

He didn’t go too close to their territory. Now he just had to figure out how to get their attention without losing his head in the process.

The only way was to go in slowly in his human form, in full sight of the guards. Perhaps they will be at least willing enough to hear him out.

He walked right down the drive that led to the house, instantly three shifters stood before him, they didn’t look happy about seeing him. They moved swiftly into attacking positions, He raised his hands to show he meant no harm.This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com

They stared at him till finally the biggest one of them stepped forward.

“What do you want, tell me right now before we turn you into a shredded meat sandwich.”

He showed no emotion, in a low even voice he asked…

“I wish to speak with the one who is leading everything around here.”

The big one tilted his head for a moment. He then stared off into the distance, when he refocused his eyes on the beast again he smiled and said that they would wait right here for him, he was already on his way.

Not wanting to show his eagerness or urgency to the others he stood there stoically and waited. It wasn’t long before he could feel a presence coming right at him.

When he turned to look off to his side there stood a huge Lion with ancient eyes. He was a massive lion his main was golden with silver tips. His eyes though were what drew you in. It looked like he could see straight through to your soul.

It was then that he felt another presence and turned to see yet another massive lion watching him. This one was just as big as the first but its mane was black whereas the other was golden. He held back in his position.

The beast turned to look at the other Lion but he was gone, with another turn there stood a man just as massive as the lion and staring at him with those eyes just like the lion before him.

He knew then and there that this was the leader looking him up and down. Sizing him up. He was impressive, so was the other watching in the distance. Brothers? He didn’t know but it felt that way. These are the ones who have been protecting and hiding the females.

The leader walked up to him and in a low growl of a voice asked…

“I am Archer Bennet leader of the WereLions Clan. You wished to speak with me?”

Rachel and Anna sat down for a talk, their lives were changing so rapidly that neither had time to catch up with the other.

They were talking about their parents and how they missed them, about growing up together. Always having to be careful, who they trusted so they could stay together.

It had not been an easy road for them, but it was their road to travel. They remembered all the good times. They remembered this old lady they lived next to. She knew what was going on and that they didn’t have any parents.

She would make them dinner every night and make sure they had what they needed. She never told anyone that they were alone. They called her Aunt Tilly. The first two years after they were alone were the worst.

Being so young you just didn’t have a clue on where to go for things, how to pay the bills, it was all new and overwhelming. Aunt Tilly helped with all that. She taught them shortcuts to things and how to take care of themselves.   Aunt Tilly died a week after Rachel had finished her final test for her GED. The girls still missed her. In two months Anna will be 18 and wanted to keep the promise that on our birthdays we would visit her.

As Ava was listening in on the conversation she was almost in tears. These two women had been through a lot and did it alone without family. Thank God for Aunt Tilly she thought.
