"Adams here." Mercy said as she walked out of the kitchen to the front door. "How do you know?" I asked. "Listen…" I focused my hearing try to figure out what she was talking about. All these new sensations were hard to conquer in such a little time.
I could hear crickets singing, the hoot of an owl, the crunch of grass is a steady pattern that turned into the sound of crunching gravel. As I was listening Mercy had already opened the door for Adam to just walk in.
"So who is so important that I had to meet them now and couldn't wait for in the morning?" Adam asked from the living room. His voice a deep rumble as if Mercy had woke him up at two in the morning, it was only a little after five and Mercy said she needed to notify him as soon as possible. Of course for her it was a plus to agitate him. You'd think they were lovers but they fought more like brother and sister. "She's in here."
As he walked into the room I felt the power radiating off him. I understood what it meant when Mercy said I would most likely have the urge to look away or lay belly up at his feet.
"You don't smell right." He said while studying me.
"Well you don't smell like a bunch of roses either."
"I can see you've been around Mercy long enough to catch her habit of smart ass answers."
"Nope that's how I found her. I think she might have taught me a thing or two." Mercy said with a grin leaning up against the counter across from me.
"How long has she been changed?" He asked still standing in the door way studying me as if I was dangerous.
"You know you can ask me yourself. I am right here." I said a little agitated. I never liked people talking about me as if I wasn't there.
"Ok then, Taylor how long have you been changed?" He asked with even more agitation in his voice. I was beginning to think he wasn't a very happy person.
"We honestly haven't figured that out yet."
"What do you mean?"
"I came across some werewolves from the Marrok's pack. I didn't know what they were exactly but I knew too much for them to let me go about my way, so they took me to Bran. Bran took me for a walk in the woods where he explained about werewolves and some of his history. He explained with his keen since of smell he could tell I wasn't completely human, but it seemed if my werewolf smell, id guess you'd say, was covered up. He tried to walk me through a change and see if that would work but it didn't and he didn't so he decided to wait and see what would happen but thought it best if I didn't stay there. Some of the locals didn't seem to keen on me. So he sent me here to Mercy claiming our smart ass ways would unite us and hoping you could handle me. And of course learning the ways of the werewolf as I go" I explained as best I could without going into too much detail.
"Why hasn't he contacted me?"
"Well, it is only five in the morning." Mercy said with a smile still on her face." I didn't want you smelling a new wolf around here and come tearing down my door so I thought you should know as soon as we got home."
"Tomorrow nights the full moon can you feel it?" Adam asked, eyeing me as if I would change at any second.
"I'm not sure, I feel a little restless but nothing more really." I replied
"Alright. Come with me. You're staying at my house till I know how strong your control is." I stood up to follow him out the door.
"That's very rude. Commanding the new wolf before she even knows how to resist." Mercy commented pushing away from the counter and walking past Adam into the living room. "You felt the pull to obey him automatically didn't you Taylor?"
"Yea, I kind of expected it. I can feel the power radiating off of him. I felt the pull to obey but also im kind of tired so I don't feel like fighting it". I responded, it had been a long day.
"Either way she's staying at my house in one of the safe rooms. No offence to you Taylor, but I don't know much about you just yet."
"Can Mercy come with me so I can have some company? A safe room doesn't sound too fun by yourself." I asked with my big puppy dog, or now should I say "werewolf", eyes.
