Chapter 14

At first I couldn’t find my voice. I stared at the fingers, which appeared to be still attached to a hand, unable to fully comprehend what I was seeing. A twisting in my gut had let me know something wasn’t right the second I’d stepped foot inside the house, but I never would have imagined it would have been a body lying on Ms. Beverly’s kitchen floor.

“There’s someone on the kitchen floor.” My voice was soft and weak as I pointed in its direction. I didn’t want Ms. Beverly to know what I’d seen by hearing me with her werewolf hearing.

“What?” Jasper leaned forward, putting his line of view level with mine. He exhaled a long breath once he spotted what I was talking about. “Great. If this was all a ploy to get us here so I’d perform a cloaking spell to help hide the fact she let her wolf side run wild and kill someone, I’m going to be pissed.”

My teeth sank into my bottom lip as I watched Jasper walk toward something my gut was telling me we should run from.

I attempted to push myself up, but whatever was on me still held me down with its weight. Shifting around, I was able to see what it was. Better yet, who.

Ms. Beverly resembled a rabid animal. Part of her was pinning me down, while the other rested on the sofa. The crazed look in her eyes sent fear spiraling through me. What the hell was wrong with her? I didn’t understand why she’d jumped on me, but knew it had everything to do with whoever or whatever Jasper had seen in the kitchen. At the thought of him, my eyes sought out my brother. He was standing a few feet away from me with his hands outstretched in front of him in a form of surrender. His brows had pinched together, making him appear as though he were taking the situation in from all angles before deciding on his next move. I struggled to do the same, but couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact Ms.
