CHAPTER 5

Lady Greenwood led me through the maze of halls and to another winding stone staircase that looked out of place in the modern portion of this strange, huge building. We walked down the stairs twenty feet to the first lower level, though the steps continued deeper the bowels of the hill. We stepped out into a new hallway, and I sidled up beside her.

"Mind telling me exactly what this place is?" I questioned her.

She shook her head. "Not at all. This is a part of the Old Den. The part we just left, where you were taken, is a part of the New Den."

"'Den?' Like a wolf den?" I asked her.

The corners of her lips twitched. "Yes, precisely that." She turned slightly towards me and her eyes looked me over. "You didn't believe my husband when he told you we were werewolves, did you?"

I snorted. "Why should I believe anybody who tells me that?"

"Because it's true," she replied.

I raised an eyebrow and gave a little more room between us. "So you're telling me he wasn't lying?"

"Correct."

"Uh-huh. And what's a bunch of werewolves doing in a-" I waved my hand at the walls "-place like this?"

"Surviving."

I didn't have time to ask her for an elaboration before we rounded a corner and found ourselves beneath an arch. Before us was a large, semi-wild garden. Thick, wild vines climbed the stone walls that stood on either side of us, and their long trains blanketed the ground above their roots. A stone path lay among wild ferns and branched out in two directions in front of a central fountain. The fountain was two-tiered, with the larger pool on the bottom. Water ran over the top bowl and gently splashed into its lower brethren. Lilly-pads floated atop the water, and there was a perfection reflection of the sky in the clear pool. Atop the fountain was a statue of a seated wolf. Its head was tilted back and it appeared to howl at the moon.

The stone paths wrapped around the fountain and reunited on the other side. The single trail wound its way through a small forest of willow and oak trees until it disappeared around a bend. Stone benches and small bushes lined the path, and I saw there were purple lilacs like those that adorned Lady Greenwood's head.

Moonlight streamed down from the clear sky and wrapped us in its cold embrace. I cringed when the fire in my right arm was reignited where lay the new tattoo. I clutched the strange image and turned away from the light. The pain subsided.

The woman stepped out into the garden and turned to me. Her blond hair turned to silver beneath the moonlight, and she appeared to glow with an unearthly light. She held out a hand and smiled at me. "Don't fight it."

"Fight what?" I returned.

"Your new nature," she told me.

"New nature? What the hell are you talking about?" I growled.

"You're a werewolf now, like the rest of us," she revealed.

I scowled at her and stepped back into the darkness of the hall.
