Fates Hands novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 

Duncan and Adira were out for a run, her wolf Artemis was beautiful and fast, Apollo was completely smitten. They played, hunted and ran races with each other. They even took a nap together under the bow‘s of a pine tree. Duncan thought back to when they woke up this morning. 

Another kiss, this one was a lot hotter than the other two, Duncan could sense her need building up inside her, it would be just a matter of a little bit more time. 

They were heading back to their cabin, when both wolves sensed they were being watched. 

Duncan mind linked Marco his location and what was going on. Then Duncan mind linked Artemis telling her to pretend to be normal. When he said run, she was to run to their cabin. There were protection barriers in the cabin that would keep her safe. 2 

Marco was the master of stealth, he mind linked Duncan to tell him he was staring at a sniper, using his scope to watch them. He was also down wind from him, he smelled like one of those Rising Moon bastards. 

97 The last thing that Duncan heard, was a loud snarl and choaking sounds coming from the trees ahead. Duncan took off to the sounds and the smell of blood. 

Duncan managed to get there in time, before Marco killed him. “We need some questions answered, so we keep this one alive for now.” 

Alpha we already have one in custody, I was on my way to find you when you mind linked me. This piece of shit was aiming his rifle at Adira. 

“Oh, well then it looks like your luck has run out then.” The spy got a look of total horror on his face. As the Alpha reached down and tore his head clean off. 

Marco sniffed the air, “Duncan do you smell something off about these guys?” Duncan sniffed the air, “yes it is there, it is faint but it is there.” Then it dawned on Duncan, “this guy was a were, he was born with a wolf, but there was no wolf present in him now.” 

“Duncan, I don‘t like this, in order for you to lose your wolf. You have to do something so horrible, that your wolf leaves you or dies. What kind of fucked up shit are they into in that pack?” 

“I don‘t know Marco, we will find out though, whatever is going on in there it has to be stopped.” 

Duncan turned around, he sensed something coming at them from the opposite direction. He reconized the scent and calmed back down. 

“Perhaps I can be of some assistance in the information department.” 

As Jack Dawson walked out of the shadows. 

Eric and Joann returned home without their daughter Lily. There house looked like a bomb had gone off, both of them knew who to thank for this mess. Eric went to his hidden wall safe, with a sigh of relief all the money and account books were there. 

“Eric we can‘t stay here, we have to pack what we can and go as far away as we can. We can always go to High Garden and seek an audience with the Prince, he could protect us from that insane mess you call a brother.” 

Eric looked a Joann for a bit, thinking that once they got the help they needed, he was going to make sure his mate came up missing. She was really grinding his nerve‘s to a pulp, what ever 

s really grinding his nerve‘s to a pulp, what ever he saw in here was gone. 

It probally had something to do with the night his wolf left him. Since then he‘d lost his ability to give a shit. He felt no attraction to her at all, his need to kill, was stonger too since he lost his wolf. 

“Yes, lets get our stuff and go to High Garden, we will find a small place there to live, while we wait for the prince to grant us an audience.” 

Joann was sick of her husband. He was a wonderful mate, till that fatefull night when she was about to give birth to Lily, that he brought in another child. Right there in the birthing room. He wanted her to raise his bastard, he asked her this as she was screaming in pain. Now he doesn‘t even feel like her mate, it was like something died in him. 

Doesn‘t matter though as soon as they are in High Garden she was going straight to the Prince to request her own audience. She was also going to visit one of the local herbalists to get a poison that will put her husband out of his misery and hers. 

They packed everthing they would need, plus a few things they could sell at a pawn shop for more monex They hurried to their car and was 

gone before anyone was the wiser. 

They may have changed their plans a little bit, if they knew that the Alpha had a spy watching them. As soon as they were in the distance, the Alpha‘s spy came out of the shadow‘s already reporting what he had seen. 

Adira stood behind Duncan, she was unsure of who had just joined them, he was huge. At least 6‘8 and all muscle he had a deep voice. He kept trying to get a look at her but she kept hiding behind Duncan. 

Duncan knew that Adira was just learning to trust people, that meeting a giant like Jack was intimidating for her. 

He reached around behind him and grabbed her hand, He then pulled her out in front of him, wrapping his arms around her like a shield. 

“Adira, this is a good friend of mine, Jack Dawson he is a WereBear. His a big and intimidating, but don‘t let that fool you though, he is a sweet fuzzy teddy bear on the inside.” 

Jack gave Duncan a look that said he was going to get even later. Duncan laughed.

“Hello there Adira, I am Jack Dawson Leader of the Stone Mountain Clan of WereBears. We will also accept the term Pack.If you ever are need to slap this idiot around some, just let me know I will come over and fix his additude up really nice for you.” Then he gave a courtly bow, which made Duncan role his eyes. 

This did seem to make Adira a bit more comfortable. As she relaxed in Duncan‘s arms. Jack was staring at Adira, Duncan let out a warning growl. Jack put both of his hands in the air and backed away. “I am sorry about that, its just that she is a twin and her twin looks nothing like her.” 

Adira stiffend up again but asked, “You have met my sister, Lily?” “Yes, she is at my Clan house at the moment, until I decided what to do with her. She came to us with all kinds of information. That is why I am here, you‘re going want to know what I have to tell you and show you.2 

He held up what looked like a backpack, it was then that Adira let out a small hiss. “That backpack belongs to Lily, she never goes anywhere without it, not even in the house.”
