Chapter Eleven

Peyton

At first, I wasn’t fond of the idea of bringing Cerine with us, but the more we walked, the more I started to feel bad for her. I had really given her quite a bite in the wrist. It was my first time as a wolf, and I had no idea what I was doing or how strong and sharp my teeth were. Granted, I would have done the same thing over again anyway. Bart was a friend, and I was exceedingly pissed-off that this woman and her band of shadow goons had killed him. But now that I saw her getting even more translucent than her pale vampire skin already was and noticed the sputtering blood which still tricked from the puncture wounds in her wrist which had definitely torn through the muscle; I was feeling kind of bad. I was also pretty damn impressed that she hadn’t made a single whine or whimper this entire time. That had to hurt something fierce.

“I see a barn up there,” Jasper said as he pointed to a structure up ahead. “Let’s go check it out and see if there’s anyone there. If not, it would make as good a place as any to stop and rest now.”

We were just on the outskirts of Rye, nestled within a valley and hidden in a thicket of trees. The barn was abandoned, and from the look of it, it had been empty for a long time. We walked inside and shut the door behind us. Not that Cerise could have escaped and gotten very far on foot even if she wanted to—she was starting to look as if she would pass out at any moment.

Once inside, Jasper grabbed Cerise and tied her up to one of the wooden beams with a long rope that was hanging on the outside of a stall. There were blankets, a lantern, and even an iron kettle; all of which would make it a suitable place to sleep and stay warm for the night while we tried to figure out what to do next.

“I think we should leave here and get as far away from East Sussex as we possibly can,” Jasper suggested. “We are in the middle of something coming that we don’t want to be caught up in.”

“I’m sure that’s true,” I said. “But we can’t just leave. This is my home. And the shifters here were part of my father’s pack. I can’t just abandon it all.”

“Peyton, although I admire your sense of purpose here, you didn’t even know that shifters existed a couple of days ago. It’s not your duty to save East Sussex.”

“Perhaps not, but it is my responsibility to make sure that my father didn’t die in vain,” I said resolutely. “Besides, you yourself said that if the shadow beings are successful in beating the packs, then they will continue to conquer the rest of the world so there won’t be a safe place anywhere for us to go if we don’t stop them here.
