Sixty-three my mind chanted in my thoughts, it was already 4 a.m. and I still couldn't sleep. I started over counting the ceiling tiles in my bedroom. 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5- thump
Sitting upright in my bed I listened "what was that" I asked the darkness. Swinging my legs over my bed I crept to my door and leaned my ear against it.
THUMP!!
I let out a small yelp and jumped back, it sounded like it was in the house I turned in my room hoping to find something I could beat the assailant with.
Everything was still in boxes I sighed.
"They're going to rape me and pillage this dumb old house" dad had convinced me that moving out to the middle of nowhere would be good for him. After his triple bypass I had gone into over-life protective mode which I knew he hated. I cut just about every fat out of his diet made him exercise but not too much and I had even signed him up for breathing exercises.
Silently I opened my door the hall was empty and dark I looked back and forth but nothing I really didn't want to go any further seeing how I was only wear panties and my boyfriend Justin's tee but Nancy Drew was starting to surface and I had to check it out.
THUMP
I jumped, it wasn't in the house it was outside the rational side of my brain screamed for me to turn around lock your door and pull the covers over your head.
I made my way to the front of the house and peered out the windows but no one was there.
"What is that damn noise" I asked the darkness again.
THUMP
Then I saw it a fire maybe something red in the distance behind the trees. Running back into my bedroom I pulled my jeans and sneakers on grabbing a flashlight off the table I headed out the door I was praying that it was just campers, drunk idiot campers.

The feast was just like any other my men pounding away at the whores that followed us while some with the women of their love. I hated them how they could all so easily mate. A growl resonated in my chest when I thought of mating I grew tired of being alone and even more tired of the endless parade of women dancing trying to entice me thinking that maybe if they said the right things and moved the right way I would mate with them.
If only it were that easy.
"Sire are you ill?" my handmaid Lucida worried for me she knew what happened to Were-kings if they did not mate.
I shook my head "no no Luc I am enthralled with thought no go enjoy the festival for at first light we are moving camp" I gave her a light shove into my first commands arms Cael, he loved Lucida but he could not mate with her because of her age.
I stood from my seat and the music quieted "enjoy the night men I am proud but restless I'm headed to rest" the cheered and the music started again.
I stepped down and turned heading back to my tent when I saw it a beam of light flickering back and forth.
Pulling my sword from it holster I waited for the attackers than she emerged a thin delicate girl hold a light she seemed bewildered at what was around her a gust of wind blew her sent to me and the wolf inside me howled claiming her dropping my sword I let my wolf take hold and howled with him.
She jumped back "oh my god I am so outta here" she dropped her flashlight turning she ran in the direction she came.
"After her" I called to some of my guards who had come to see why I had howled.
Shifting they caught her easily Cael had her in his arms "where do you want the captive my lord?"
I choked on his word.
"She is no captive dear friend ... she is my queen and in my chambers I need to run before she wakes"
Shifting into my preferred form I trotted in the darkness I knew if I didn't I would take her inappropriately.
