The Wolf In Me

Chapter 47: Part 2 Good and bad

Mei's POV

I was sitting down on a wooden garden bench, reading a book called An Unexpected Kind Of love which I have been consumed in for a while. The breeze was delicately touching my warm cheeks, feeling the heat of the sun against my skin. Mason, now five years old was playing with a few other kids a few meters away from my sight.

Luka went for a spot check with Jake like they do every day in wolf form whilst they discuss activities, training, gatherings and some stuff that are necessary for the pack to keep it entertained. Lylah and Nelly left for a few weeks to meet with some witches, in the hopes to rebuild a strong coven as they have had in the past. Everything has been quiet for years now but yesterday Luka and Jake have discovered a freshly dead body of a human, left abandoned in the middle of the forest. I've got a hunch about it and since then I felt restless, always making sure Mason was by my side.

As I was back gaping at the book, I felt a hand over my shoulder that startled me.

"Oh, Melody. I didn't feel you coming."

She smiled at me and sat down on the empty part of the bench observing the opened book.

"The last time I read a book was that demon spell book we took from the library."

She sighed and rested herself against the backside of the bench, moving her face towards the brightness of the sun. Closing her eyes, she smiled, absorbing herself into the moment.

"Since then, everything got so quiet, it's almost boring I can say."

I closed the book and looked at her intently, observing every corner of her face.

"Boring is good when you have a five-year-old son and another on the way," I mumbled, looking down at my belly.

She stared at me for a second, thinking I was joking.

"What? Are you serious?" She asked squeakily.

"I was about to tell you the same thing about me! I'm expecting too," I half gasped and laughed as we locked into an embrace, screaming with joy.

I had to make my way back to the body to try to figure out what happened to the poor young woman. Surely I needed help to get some answers through magic but I was the only witch to be in the packhouse for the time being, so I was stuck with my options. Whilst biting my inner side of my cheeks, I kept thinking of a few options, hoping a good plan would come up. Suddenly I received a call from an old friend and that was the time when
