author SwordInKaos_DestinyBound.
LOL. ;-) ENJOY PEOPLE!!!
Chapter 3
The silver glow of the full moon hung over Wolf Lake like a cooling cloth, the normally hormonal teens were complacent
within their homes this night, adult skin-walkers who enjoyed the blood and thrill of the hunt slept quietly next to their
mate this night. The entire town seemed a running contradiction. And although most noticed the eerie peaceful ambience
that had settled upon their town few were heard complaining.
One soul though did notice the change and it shook him to his very soul. He remembered 18 years ago when his home
had become like this night: peaceful, calm, and characteristically un-wolf- like; it was when his beautiful baby sister had
been born. He smiled at the full moon and remembered how her green eyes at stared at him, innocent and full of trust. It
had been he who'd carried her to the orphanage that night. It had been his heart, which had broken into tiny fragments as
he placed his only sister upon the steps of St. Meredith's. It was in those hours after she was born that he had cursed all
humans and their ways. All because of a human.. because of a human his home had been torn apart, because of a human
she had been born and now forced to be abandoned, it was this vile race, which he loathed more than his own mother,
that was the cause of his heartache. His father, upon sight of Shana (as Tyler had named her), and knowing of Tyler's hate
towards humans, asked him to dispose of the girl.permanently. How could I, he thought to himself even now. She was of
his blood, though they shared but half, she was his family. As everyone knows, in Wolf Lake and in the pack, you protected
your own No Matter What. That idea, ingrained in him from his first lessons with Sherman, had led him to the orphanage
instead of the Alpha's home. But now, 18 years later, as he stood on the porch of his home and felt the same powerful
force at work on the town, he wondered if he had damned them all with his sibling instincts.
Sophia covered the older girl with the warm blanket. As it landed lightly on her form Sophia smelt the pine and daisy
extracts that Sherman often put into his washing basin. The smells so strongly assaulted her senses that she backed away
from the blanket. Within a moment the pungent sent died down in Sophia's awareness and she was able to breath easily.
She sighed and sat at the girl's feet on the couch, firmly keeping her eyes on her father. Every since Sherman had said her
name was Creed, Matt Donner had been on edge around the girl, watching her. She had seen the same protective stare
when she and Luke had been together. Sophia also knew that it was not a good thing that he father was on edge, he
often did not think rationally when she was concerned.
Luke was in the kitchen with Sherman, brewing some tea that was supposed to awaken the fainted half-breed.
Sophia had to smile at the thought; she wasn't alone anymore, being the only person in Wolf Lake who felt they didn't
belong in either world. This girl was Kin, maybe not by blood, but by heart; and Sophia vowed there and then that she
would protect her Kin Sister from the town. There was no father to be a threatening force to deter any notions from the
Skin-Walkers' minds; Shana would have no protection from her brother Tyler as well. The thought chilled Sophia's blood,
Tyler Creed was sure not to want the information that he had a half-breed as a sister. It would ruin any chances he had to
become the next Alpha. They had all seen to what lengths he would go to gain power, what would one girl's life be to him?
Sophia's musings were interrupted by the sudden arrival of
Luke and Sherman into the living room and the sound of tires making there way up the side roads leading to the cabin. All eyes got distant, listening to the approaching car.
"It's Tyler" Sophia whispered in horror, her eyes turning a feral yellow as she glanced to her Kin. "Quick, Sherman,
give her the draught. Shana will need to be wake when we confront Tyler."
Luke looked to his mate, "What do you mean 'confront'?".
"Tyler came here for Shana, I know it; and I will be damned if I let any harm befall my Kin Sister." Sophia growled. Next
to Luke Sherman had to grab the teacup he had almost dropped. He had to have heard wrong, Sophia had not just called
the girl "Kin Sister." There was no way, it was just a fable passed down.
"Sherman, give her the tea." Sophia growled at the man as Tyler Creed's car skidded to a stop in front of the cabin
door, pelting the house with small rocks. The old Indian walked over to the sleeping girl and gently poured a small amount
of the tea down her throat. The effects of the tea will be instant, he thought as she swallowed, but what will Sophia's
announcement mean for the pack? Unfortunately, he would not be able to think more on the enigma for as soon as Shana
swallowed the tea her eyes shot open and looked to the door.
"My brother comes" was the only warning they had before Tyler Creed and his goons knocked in Sherman's door.
"My darling sister, there you are." Tyler twisted smile greeted Shana.
