human form could. He would know if anyone approached. He
was banished again, just as he was on the edge of being released from his last
banishment. He still had the last traces of darkness around him that made
others want to get away from him. Now he had it back in full force. The pain in
his chest had nothing to do with his fight with Michael earlier and everything
to do with a shifter’s need to be around other shifters. It was painful to be
parted from others like him.
Lucas found an area and shifted. Unlike useless humans
he did not feel any sort of discomfort crouching on the ground naked. Once upon
a time he had been a friend to humans, trusted them. That was over now though.
Humans were traitors that saw shifters as nothing more than animals. They did
not see intelligent beings that were valuable. they saw
ways to exploit them.
He spotted Myra Evans walking out of the clinic. His
wolf hearing made it easy to hear her as she yakked away on her phone.
“Yes, she was in the motel and very ill from Lucas’s
bite.”
Interesting ,
he thought. Normally if a human was really a halfling they had a couple of days after being exposed to a guardian’s essence before
they became that ill. She must have had a powerful shifter as a parent.
Question was why would a shifter leave their own child to live among humans?
Most halflings grew up among shifters, and then when
they took a mate they decided to change fully. A few hours of hellish pain to
trade for extended life, far better senses, and whatever gifts Ilithyia decided to hand out.
Lucas saw the imp fly over to toss Myra’s rain hat off
her head then disappear before she could spot the troublemaker. Myra sighed. “Hold
on, Julie, let me grab my hat.” Myra got
her ridiculous looking hat back in place on her head then continued talking.
“Like I was saying, when we got to the motel she was very ill. Michael picked
her up, and she started to feel better.” Myra was silent for a moment, which for that long winded wolf was a
miracle. Pity, she was such a beautiful, white wolf. Her nonstop chattering drove
the idea of mating her far from his thoughts. She would never shut up as she
begged to be let go. He wanted a woman he could train to be silent and
obedient. Myra was never silent, and the way Warren allowed her to mouth him
was offensive. Then again Warren was an offense to bears everywhere.
“Oh Cole was thinking they have a soul bond as well.
Can you believe it? A soul bond with a halfling that came from the human world.” She nodded her head and clucked more
like a damned chicken than a wolf. “I liked her from the moment she came in. I
wonder if Michael will claim her after she is changed.”
Myra got into her car with an imp sitting on the top
of the car. Lucas almost wished he could see the show of the mischievous
creature causing trouble with the woman. Then again Myra was a sickening kind
of sweet shifter. She would probably feed the damn thing.
He needed to stay here though. Michael and the woman
he attacked had a soul bond? Interesting. If Michael decided to claim her, or if she
didn’t reject him from her silly human morals of not fucking someone she wasn’t
married to, he may have found the perfect revenge. He could take Michael’s mate
from him. A plan started to form. Of course the woman would take Michael’s
offer to change her. She would die otherwise. Once the essence in a human was stirred
it must come to full life or it destroyed its host. Only a guardian giving his
own essence throughout the entire change could keep the magic from ripping
apart the host. Powerful essence worked fast, which would mean Michael would
have to have a very long period of contact. He would be weaker than normal for
a while. He would have to act quickly before Michael regained his full
strength.
Lucas changed and loped off back towards the forest.
He grinned to himself as he hunted a raccoon. Bond well, my old friend. I want to watch your unrelenting agony
