The Wolf In Me

Sure enough, he was quietly reading a book with just a lampshade on.

"Ah, there you are. I came to check on you, to see that you are ok," I announced at the door.

"Come in dear," he said motioning with his arm to move forward.

"Have a seat. I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me. Where is my son?" He asked.

"With Lylah. He wants her to put a spell in a secret passage we found in the dungeons. The vampires were coming in from there," I explained.

"Secret passage?" He asked confused, "I have never seen it on the map."

I explained how we have come to find it and he was stunned.

"Tomorrow is the day I will be expecting to finish them off. I will avenge my late wife and mate and everyone I have lost because of those brats. My mind will be put at rest knowing that you will live safely and peacefully," Gerald said expressing his thoughts looking straight into my eyes.

"And yours," I said smiling.

He smiled weakly back for a moment, then looked down at the book in his hands, closing it. He placed it on the table next to him and turned back to look at me.

"I will not be here for long."

He looked at the clear full moon from the window and continued, "She brought me here to help Luka win this fight. When the fight is over, she wants me to join her again."

"No. Please, don't go. Luka would be so devastated. He has just got you back and he barely had time to catch up with you," I pleaded.

He took my hand and smiled. "I might not be physically here, but I will be taking care of you from up there," he said turning his head towards the moon.

There was a quiet moment before he looked straight into my eyes looking serious.
