Chapter 6

Kaylan watched in horror as Elijah began to shift. Claws sprang out and fangs elongated as the full moon rose to its peak.

Oh, fuck! They’d both forgotten that tonight was the full moon. The one night they’d dreaded most. He’d warned her what would happen, but she hadn’t prepared for it. She’d seen him in his wolf/man beast form before, but this was something else. He looked deadlier than before as he ripped the heart out from one shifter then snapped the neck of the other.

“Elijah?” Kaylan landed, sheathing her knives.

“Blessed spirits!” Silas murmured from the doorway.

“Silas, stay back,” she warned.

She wasn’t afraid of Elijah. He’d never hurt her, but others – she didn’t want to find out.

“Elijah, I know you’re afraid of this. I know that’s why you ran and stayed away from me.” She kept her voice calm, heard her heart pounding in her ears as she walked over and fought to keep her emotions in control.

Kaylan knew their connection was the only thing that had kept her safe the previous times he had lost control. Maybe now she was his ‘mate’ she’d have some extra influence.

Elijah’s golden eyes flashed. He growled at Silas.

Kaylan put herself between Elijah and the old man. “Elijah, stop!” she told him. “Silas is our friend. I know you’re still in there somewhere.”

He turned and suddenly leapt from the window. She hurried over, leaning over the sill and stared down onto the street below, but he’d already vanished. “Bugger!”

“When you said he’d been turned into a beast I didn’t think–” Silas shook his head. “That’s the first time I’ve seen a true shape shifter in decades.”

Her eyebrows rose. “You knew?”

He shrugged. “That he was born that way yes, but there’s not much about his past I do know,” he replied. “Natural shifters are rare now, and if you’re mated to him that will make you stronger, faster.”

“Will I be like him?” She hadn’t wanted to acknowledge the fact she might now be a beast too. The idea both excited and terrified her.

“Not unless he bit you.”

She breathed a sigh of relief. “I need to go find him.” Kaylan sniffed, wiping away the last remnants of tears. “I have to go.” She climbed onto the ledge.

“Kaylan, I’m sorry you had to face the truth about your father. But know that he…”

“Thanks your help,” was all she said before she took to the air.

As she flew over a whirl of treetops and saw the burning bright lights from Ormere in the distance, Kaylan turned her comm crystal on. “Sierra? Geth?” The wind whipped her hair back, stinging her face as she went.

“Here. Kay? What’s wrong?” Sierra replied.

“Never mind me. How many shifters have you encountered tonight?”

“A few. Nasty buggers!” Geth answered. “I’ve managed to collect a few samples. Maybe we can figure out a way of stopping them. What – oh shit! I forgot it’s the full moon. Elijah must have lost it.”

“You could say that,” Kaylan murmured. “He ran off. Where would he go?” Her eyes scanned the horizon as she reached out for Elijah with her senses.
