Chapter Forty-Four

Holland Gardens, Kensington, London, crescent moon

‘Hey!’ shouted Adam. One of the Wolf Brothers had stuck out a foot as he walked down the stairs and he had almost gone flying. Only his lightning-fast reactions had prevented him from tumbling down the staircase. He grabbed the banister to stop himself falling, then spun around, furious.

Three of the Wolf Brothers stood on the landing, watching him coolly, their faces devoid of expression. He didn’t know which ones they were. The Wolf Brothers all looked the same to him, with their identical black leather jackets and stupid dark sunglasses. All of them bore wolf tattoos on their necks and they slouched around the house in groups, staring at him provocatively.

Adam glared at them. He wanted to fly at them and rip out their throats, but he’d never be able to take all three.

‘Oh, hey, man, did you hurt yourself?’ said one of the three. A short guy. He had a stupid name. Slasher, or Masher, or Basher, or something. They all had stupid names. The guy smirked. ‘Sorry, I guess you just tripped over my foot.’ He stuck a booted foot out and wiggled it about for Adam to see. One of the others pointed at the foot and made an exaggerated apologetic shrug. The three of them turned away from him and disappeared into one of the middle floor bedrooms. Adam heard them sniggering together as soon as they were out of sight.

He balled his hands into fists. He should go in there and fix this once and for all. How could he share this house with these jerks if they treated him like this? He had put up with enough already. If he took them by surprise, maybe he could take them down before they had a chance to react. No one moved faster than Adam Knight, not even another werewolf.

He bounded up the stairs two at a time, heading for the room, but when he reached the landing another leather-clad figure emerged. Snakebite. There was no mistaking the towering giant with the red hair, even though he dressed the same as the others.

Adam stopped, unable to get around the huge man’s bulk.

‘Hey, Adam,’ said Snakebite, resting a hand like a side of ham on his shoulder. ‘You look ruffled.’

Ruffled? Adam wasn’t ruffled. He was incandescent with rage.

He tried to push past, but Snakebite’s grip held him in place. ‘Chill, man, don’t go in there. That wouldn’t be cool. Anyway, it’s time for the War Council.’

Snakebite was right, and Adam felt the fury slowly leach away. He had been a fool to think he could take on three of the Wolf Brothers at once. It was the frustration of being cooped up in the house for days on end, unable to show his face in public. He had so much energy, and no way to release it. Snakebite had probably saved him from a bruising lesson. ‘Sure,’ he said. ‘I was just going to the War Council now.’

‘I’ll join you,’ said Snakebite.
