Chereads / Paris Grimm | Vampire Prophecy / Chapter 77 - The Wolf

Chapter 77 - The Wolf

Louis's POV:

I whistled as I walked out into a street in the middle of the night then laid down on the asphalt, looking up at the stars. Not many people would pick to lay down on a busy street in the normal times of the day, but hey, it's night... and I'm hunting. I purred as I put my hands under my head then studied the stars, searching for a shooting one. The best way to hunt... is to trick humans- make them think they hit you and killed you then go for the bite when they are panicking. This is actually my first time hunting like this, but I've got it all planned out, and boy, I'm going to eat great tonight!

After a few minutes of waiting, a car's headlights shone onto me as a car came out at a fast swerving speed. I heard the breaks starting to hit then as the driver slowed in hopes to avoid hitting me. I smirked a little and grabbed a nearby rock, throwing it at the tires hard to give it a bump and teleported behind the car as he swerved off the road and crashed the truck into a tree. I smirked and started to walk calmly to the truck, purring in amusement. Gotcha~ Whoever is in there is mine now~ I heard the driver groan- a male... He opened up the door quickly and I heard him getting stuck with his seat belt like it had gotten jammed.

"What the hell?" He asked softly. "What was that," he muttered quietly as he jiggled the seat belt to try to get it to unjam. I chuckled as I approached then leaned against the side of his truck, looking him over. He's rather young... his late teens obviously, but he smells a little drunk. He came from a party.

"Stuck?" I asked then smirked at him. "You look like you're having trouble."

"Yeah," he said in slight alarm. "Got a knife?" He asked and gave a small chuckle. "These things are really evil," he muttered. I purred and leaned over, snapping the seatbelt for him before I yanked him out of the car into my arms.

"Yeah~ they are, aren't they?" I asked then smirked as I eyed him over and leaned in, going for his neck quickly. Damn, I'm hu- I froze up as I caught his scent... the fragrance driving me nuts. Mate. I moaned then bit in quickly, marking him as I tightened my grip. H-he's my mate? This teenager? He gasped and gave a confused moan before squirming a little against me.

"What- what the- Hey! Psycho!" He yelled quickly in fear- fear starting to consume his sweet aroma of being my mate. I pulled back from his neck and looked at him before I licked my lips.

"Calm down~ I'm not going to kill you," I told him then smirked. "We're mates~"

"What the hell does that mean?" He asked and then tried to step away from me and gave me a confused look. I chuckled in amusement and kept him tight in my arms.

"Don't worry about that yet," I told him then smirked. I have a mate! Finally! What the hell, Fate?! You had to wait this long! I leaned in and purred as I breathed in his scent, taking it in. I'm going to make sure he never ever gets away from me. His heart started to race a little then as he pushed at my chest a little. He suddenly kneed me between my legs quickly and shoved me back while I was distracted- knocking me to the ground and got inside his car- slamming the door shut. I heard him lock the door then as he tried to crank his vehicle. I groaned and winced before I snarled and went to the truck, yanking on the door hard enough and hissed as soon as it came off the truck. I threw it to the side then reached in for him. "How dare you?" I growled out. Little ass of a teenager! I snatched his shirt and yanked him out, throwing him to the ground then started after him, narrowing my eyes. Even if he is my mate! He gasped as he hit the ground before looking back at me wide eyed. He got to his feet quickly and started running from me then, his breath starting to get fast as he panicked. I teleported in front of him and snatched him before I teleported us back to my house I built. I shoved him down onto a couch in my bedroom and narrowed my eyes. "Calm down! You're overreacting." Little bastard. He sat up quickly and looked around. Suddenly his eyes were looking at me in shock. He crawled over the couch in a mere single move. His arms came up to hold his head.

"O-Overreacting?" He asked in disbelief. "THIS ISN'T NORMAL!" I softened my gaze then purred softly, sitting down on the couch and looking behind it as I looked him over.

"I'm not going to hurt you, kiddo. What's your name?" I asked him then reached out, touching his head then ran my fingers through his hair to soothe him. "Mine is Louis... Louis Grimm."

"A-August," he mumbled as he eyed my hand over in alarm. "August River King," he mumbled before looking down slightly and reached into his pocket- grabbing something. I widened my eyes then pulled back my hand and stiffened a laugh. River King? Wow.... His parents did a great job naming him... but I like his first name. I got up from the couch then walked over to my bed, sitting down on it.

"August huh? I like it."

"Thanks," he whispered.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked curiously then glanced over his way with a frown. He sure is sounding like he is calming down quicker.... He's up to something.

"N-nothing," he said quickly and backed up a bit. "I'm not doing anything." I got up and went over to him, tsking. Oh like hell. I snatched him then forced him to show me his hands then growled as I found a phone in them.

"That looks like a lot of nothing," I hissed then snatched it away, crushing it in my grip. "What? Did you think you were going to call the cops? They can't do shit! I'm a vampire, August," I said then exposed my fangs. "You're going to call a bunch of cops on me? I'll eat them in a heartbeat." He eyed over my fangs before looking at my hand quickly and at his phone before looking back at my fangs.

"Vampires aren't real," he whispered to me.

"Oh yes they are," I said in amusement then dropped his broken phone to the floor. "Vampires exist. I am one. I marked you too because we're mates~ You're mine, August. Fate gave you to me. I'm going to be your 'true love' as humans call it." I smirked then ran my hand along his jaw to screw with him. "You're not going anywhere."

"You're a male," he laughed out slightly and then snatched my hand quickly.

"Uh huh, and you're a male," I purred at him then smirked. "So? What's it matter? Are you scared?" Heh... he's scared. I moved my hand away from him then chuckled as I pocketed my hands. "I have eternity, August. I've waited this long for you. I can wait as long as it takes." Besides, I'm busy right now anyways, so he has how long he needs to get over that ridiculous fear of his.

"N-no, I'm not scared. I know that that's not true- any of that," he told me quickly. "I'm a male, you're a male. Males can't mate," he told me quickly. "At least.... we can't have children together so mating is pointless and there's no way we would be intended for each other because of that," he told me and started to blush. "I don't even like males in that way." I tsked then and eyed him over before I scoffed.

"Closed minded," I said then shook my head. "I don't have time for a mate like that." I grabbed him then teleported him to his broken down truck before I shoved him towards it. "Good luck, drunk." I have too much going on, and I don't need a mate. Look what happened to Paris because of Richard. He stumbled into the dirt quickly and rubbed his head quickly before falling over onto the ground- collapsing dramatically. I wrinkled my nose then shook my head. What was Fate thinking... giving me a human.... I shook my head then reached down before I put him in his truck for him. "Lucky for you, you're not going to remember me probably," I muttered, eyeing him over. Drunk. He rubbed his eyes before starting to search his pockets- pulling out his wallet and tossing it before searching his pocket again. I tsked then and started to move away. Hmph I shook my head then ran my fingers through my hair as I looked around then pulled out my phone, dialing a tow truck. He's lucky I don't ditch him out here for his ungratefulness. Not many people get to find 'true love' and he spat all over that. He's going to grow up a drunk and go nowhere in life. He's going to be a washed up human, food for us. I heard a small growl then from nearby- in the woods. A wolf. I could swear that was a wolf. August tensed up like he heard it too and reached for the door and started to panic as he remembered I took it off. I tensed and looked towards the woods, searching them. Fuck... don't tell me that's a werewolf. There's a whole pack around here. I exposed my fangs towards the woods, snarling back threateningly as I pulled a knife from my pocket and glared in the direction of the growls. I spotted a set of glowing eyes as I stared hard enough. They were looking right at us. I narrowed my eyes then glanced back towards August. Shit, I can't leave him here with that wolf. It'll turn him... and then I'll have a mutt at my doorstep one day. I teleported over to him then grabbed him, teleporting him back to my place before I sighed and shoved him away. "You're so fucking lucky I care." He stumbled a little before rubbing his head and glanced around before starting for my bed quickly. I frowned as I watched him.

What the hell does he think he's doing? I tsked then shook my head. Screw that. I'm not putting up with it. I teleported out of my bedroom then checked that the door was locked then walked down the hall, going to a guest bedroom and went inside. I'm not staying in the same room as that bratty teenager. Fate sure did screw up.

~Time Skip~

I walked into my kitchen and yawned as I got out a bottle of blood and went to open it before I heard a familiar tsk behind me. "Master Louis," Isabelle said sternly then snatched the bottle out of my hand. "You could've asked me," she said then smirked as she pulled her hair aside from her neck. "My blood is better than this~" Isabelle~ my newborn! I purred then leaned in quickly, biting in hungrily as I started to drink her blood. She's probably been waiting for me in here, waiting for me to wake up....

"Master Louis, your door was locked," I heard another servant say as he walked in. "So I unlocked it to wake you up- but I found someone else in there. Should I feed it?" I frowned and pulled back from Isabelle's neck, looking the servant over.

"Hmmm... give him a small sandwich and some chips," I said then growled. "You better lock my door back when you're done. I like it locked. It keeps crazy people out, understand... or else I'll eat you. You shouldn't be trying to wake me up anyways. I wake up when I want to wake up." The only reason I have a few servants is to have them clean up my house. "When he's done eating, kick him out and call him a taxi to take him to town." He gave a small annoyed look before walking back out of the kitchen.

"I hope he's still in there," he muttered.

"Well if he's not, don't worry about it," I said calmly. "He's not important. He's just a little rugrat I picked off the streets so he wouldn't be eaten by a wolf." I heard him walking off then- muttering something else to himself about his choir list being involved with cleaning my room today and that the man inside the room was going to delay his choirs. I tsked then looked at Isabella. "Get rid of the servants.... Eat them if you want," I told her then smirked. "Turn them even. Make them obey your every word but do away with the sassy ones." She grinned then purred, moving away from me.

"Yes Louis," she said then started off in delight, giggling. I shook my head then teleported into my bedroom curiously, looking at the bed to see if he was still in here. I found him sleeping still. My bed was a mess and he had stripped down to his boxers through out the night since his clothing was scattered in different directions. He was hugged up to one of my pillows. He had a thin blanket around his ankles but the rest of him was exposed to me. He looked a little hot- some sweat was collecting on his forehead. I frowned and walked over slowly before I touched his forehead, checking to see how warm he was then sighed. He's warm blooded, that's for sure. I moved my hand away then eyed him over. He's really cute actually. I smirked as I took in every inch of his exposed body to me then looked back towards his face before I leaned in and smelled him. His scent had changed since last night- starting to become strange to me... Is that earth tones? It was so faint. Probably from when he fell on the ground last night. I pulled back slightly then glanced towards the door before I gently shook him, trying to wake him. I need to do something about him. He's going to wake up and not know anything about last night.... He let out a small groan and swatted at my hands.

"Five more minutes," he begged.

"No, you need to wake up, August," I purred in amusement. "You're in my bed, kiddo." He opened his eyes quickly and sat up so fast he collided his body into mine- putting me off my balance and made me fall down on top of him. I widened my eyes as I looked down at him then moaned as I caught a whiff of his scent. I leaned in quickly and bit into his neck, marking him again as my hands traveled for his to pin them. He grabbed my hands quickly and let out moan as he squirmed a bit under me- brushing his body up against mine.

"Who are you?" He asked softly. I pulled back from his neck and licked my lips as I looked down at him. Damn... he's cute when he squirms.

"Louis Grimm," I purred lowly in his ear. "We met last night in a car crash, and I saved you from a nasty wolf." He nodded a little and rubbed my hands a little before letting them go and glanced around quickly.

"Where's my car?" He asked quickly.

"You crashed it. It's totaled," I reminded him then smirked. "Cutie." I leaned down and kissed near his ear, putting one of my hands down by his head to keep some of my weight off him. This isn't so bad.... He tensed up quickly and slowly reached for the covers by him and dragged them onto his body. "Are you hiding from me?" I asked then nipped at his ear to screw with him. He nodded quickly and moved his head away from me quickly.

"Don't bite me," he said quickly. I sat up on top of him then and purred.

"You're the one who knocked me onto you," I reminded him then winked before I leaned in and hovered over his lips, letting my breath hit them before I kissed his chin. "Bad boy...." He looked at me nervously then and licked his lips.

"I'm not a bad boy," he told me quickly. "I haven't been caught yet." I smirked then leaned in for his lips, brushing mine ever so slightly against his.

"Haven't been caught yet?" I husked out then purred, running one of my hands down his side to his hip. He looked away from me and started to squirm then as he brushed his body up against me- making me realize he was aroused as it brushed against me. I chuckled then as I looked him over then made him look at me, kissing him deeply to give him a taste. Little August.... He kissed me back quickly and tried to overpower me then. I pinned him down then licked his bottom lip, moaning slightly to mess with him as I went to push my tongue into his mouth, gripping his hip tightly. He looked away quickly and let out a tsk.

"No," he told me sternly.

"Don't say no," I husked into his ear then leaned in towards his neck, starting to give him a love bite to capture his attention. He squirmed quickly and let out a small laugh as he pushed my head back from his neck.

"N-no!" He yelled out.

"You'll love what I can do to you," I told him then smirked as I leaned in and kissed his lips again and moved a little of my body weight against his hips, pressing down into him.

"Hey," he whispered lightly and gave a nervous look. "I don't think so," he told me and shook his head.

"Just relax," I murmured then gave him another kiss as I pulled his hips closer to me. He is my mate.... I should be able to do this for him.

"What're you going to do?" He asked softly.

"I'm going to make you feel better," I purred against his lips then pulled the sheet away from between us then kissed his neck quickly as I slowly started to move against his hips.

"I feel good now," he told me quickly and looked nervous as he went to stop my hips. I grabbed his hands then and kissed his lips.

"Shhh, it's okay," I told him then pinned his hands to the bed above his head. I forced my body between his legs then deepened the kiss slowly. He's probably just nervous because of what he told me last night, but he'll be fine. Besides, I can't let a mate of mine walk around with a tent in his pants.

"Don't.... Don't take anything else off us," he whispered to me in a warning tone.

"I won't if you go quick enough," I told him and smirked against his lips. He leaned a little into the kiss then as he relaxed under me. I moaned and rocked my hips into his as soon as he returned it then deepened the kiss as I started to grind against him. He's human and a teenager. He's not going to last long more than likely. He moaned a little and blushed as soon as he did and then looked away quickly. "It's okay," I told him then kissed his neck. "Be as loud as you want~ I won't judge," I purred into his ear then rocked my hips into his sharply then adjusted myself above him to get at his aroused area better and rubbed up against it. He adjusted himself a little under me then and leaned in for a kiss as he tilted his head a little. Heh... he's getting more trusting about this~ I smirked and gave him a small kiss then leaned in, making it more passionate as I got harder with my movements. Too bad I promised not to take anything off him.... He tensed up a little before relaxed a bit and started to rock his hips into mine then and tried to flip us. I grunted as he got me this time and looked up at him before I leaned in for his lips quickly as I did my best to keep the pace as we changed spots. He looked down at me in slight surprise he got top then started to grind into me at his own pace- fighting mine. I moaned slightly and then kissed his neck. I might as well let him have it this once. I started to go his pace as I breathed in his scent, keeping my face in his neck as I felt my own body getting a little warm as I hardened downstairs. Fuck.... That's not good. He moaned again as he slowed down and tensed up- relieving himself downstairs. He moaned a little louder and fell on me quickly. I looked at him and frowned. Now I've got problems.... I eyed him over then leaned down, kissing him slightly. Maybe I can work him back into it.... He blushed quickly and looked away from the kiss as he sat up on me. "What?" I asked and frowned, sitting up with him. "You're shying away now?" I wrapped my arms around his waist then leaned in for the kiss again. He bit his bottom lip and put a finger over my lips. "August," I grumbled against his finger then frowned. Double standard much? "You'd think since you just relieved yourself using my body that you would at least give me a kiss." He blushed before giving me a small kiss before looking down.

"There," he whispered. I sighed then picked him up, setting him aside. I'll just have to calm down I guess.

"Someone is bringing you a sandwich and some chips to eat," I said and got off the bed. "I have a bathroom if you want to clean yourself up." I pointed to the bathroom connected to my bedroom then eyed him over. "There are also some clothes if you want to borrow them." He nodded before going into the bathroom quickly and shut the door behind him. I heard him turn on the water then to take a shower. I can't believe I found my mate.... At least he isn't acting like such a brat this morning. I smirked then eyed over my pillow before I picked it up and smelled it. I think I'll keep him.... He's not so bad... and that wolf might try to hunt him. Fate did give him to me after all.... I should keep him. A mate for a century isn't a bad idea. I glanced at the door then laid down in my bed, purring in delight at his scent. I can't forget about what I'm doing though. I've finally chased most of the hunters out of this place, and Hugo running the Grimm manor is doing well enough. He's turned it into a refuge for homeless vampires he finds- abandoned newborns... not that I care what he does with it while I lend it to him. I felt my hair on my arms stand up suddenly as the air started to smell like a wolf before the scent faded a bit. I tensed up then sat, sniffing the air. Was that my... imagination... or is that... actually a wolf? I growled slightly then slowly pulled my knife out of my pocket just in case. It might be that wolf from yesterday trying to find August.... I heard August let out a groan then from the bathroom before a sudden thud from in there. I widened my eyes then jumped out of the bed, kicking the bathroom door down quickly then snarled. "I'LL GET YOU, YOU WOLF!" I snarled, looking towards the shower then frowned when I saw August was alone. What? I pulled the door open to my shower and looked down at him in concern. "August, are you okay? Why'd you fall?" He blushed quickly as he looked up at me.

"H-hey, don't look at me," he warned but had a slight painful tone in his voice. I frowned then set my knife on the counter.

"Did you get hurt?" I asked and gently pulled him out and set him down on my toilet. "Did you hit your head?" I smelled him quickly, searching for blood.

"No, I feel a slight pain in my chest though," he told me and rubbed at it. "I don't feel too good. Maybe I should see a doctor. It might be from the wreck last night." His scent smelled a little off again- like the earth I was smelling on him earlier... but he was just in the shower. I frowned then leaned in to get a better crack at it. The hell? Is that just his scent? That's... strange. I bit down gently then pulled my fangs out quickly, licking his blood to check it. I tasted a slight ting of difference since I last had it- it was changing flavor. He gave a sick look then rushed towards the sink and started to puke in it as he hung his head low. I wrinkled up my nose then licked my lips clean.

"August... I think you better stay here," I said sharply. If his blood and scent is changing... then... Oh fuck. I know that earthy scent. Dog. He's a werewolf! He's changing too. "August... I need you to listen really close to me. Go lay down on my bed. I'll get you a bucket," I told him then turned the water off in the shower. "Some pain killers too." There's nothing I can do to stop a transformation... and from the looks of this, it's probably his first. I would have caught the scent of werewolf on him immediately if he had already changed once before. "You're going through some changes, okay?" He shivered a little then and started to sink to his knees as he gave a tired look.

"Louis," he whispered softly. I tensed then walked over to him quickly. Fuck.... I took him into my bedroom then laid him down on my bed before I teleported to the kitchen and got him a bucket and some pain killers and water. As soon as I had teleported back in there, I put the bucket beside him and handed him the pills and the water.

"I need you to take those," I warned him. "You're going to need them." He looked at the pills before grabbing them quickly and swallowed them. He grabbed the bottle and started to chug it quickly- draining it within seconds. I relaxed slightly then frowned. That wolf that was staring at us earlier probably knew he was another werewolf.... I sat down on the edge of my bed then ran my fingers through August's hair to soothe him. He's going to have a rough day....

"What's happening?" He asked softly in confusion as he leaned his head up against my hand quickly.

"You're not human," I murmured then rubbed his head. "Do you remember what I told you last night? About me being a vampire? You didn't believe me... but you have to now. You're a werewolf, August, and you're changing for your first time."

"N-no. My parents are human," he whispered to me in confusion. "Did someone bite me?" He asked in panic. "A werewolf bit me? Did you turn me into a werewolf? Does that happen?" He whispered.

"No," I said quickly. "I can only change you into a vampire- well... could've. You're not human so it wouldn't work. No..." I frowned and watched him. If his parents are human, then he can't have been born one. I started to look his body over for scars then tsked as I didn't find any. Maybe he's adopted. "You're probably adopted," I told him softly. Or he comes from an impure bloodline of werewolves mating with humans instead of turning them which is highly unlikely for him to become a werewolf in... and for that to happen. Werewolves turn their mates. He froze up quickly as he started to think about it... After a long pause his jaw dropped slightly.

"I'm adopted," he whispered. "A-All the signs were there but I never paid them any attention," he said and started to tear up. I frowned quickly then pulled him into my arms.

"Hey... that doesn't mean that they aren't any less your parents. They raised you and loved you," I murmured then kissed his forehead. "They're probably wondering where you are right now-" He's adopted... like me. I tensed at the thought then looked at him. He eyed me over before blushing.

"Yeah, they love me.... but I feel silly for never knowing until now," he told me and then pouted. "I'm alone." I frowned then rubbed his head.

"You're not alone, August.... You have two parents that love you even if they didn't create you... and you have me, your mate," I murmured then eyed him over. Hopefully he doesn't puke all over me during his transformation.... I think I gave him enough pills to keep him from screaming his head off. Why does he have to be a fucking wolf?! That means he'll have to join a pack... and he'll have those weird full moon experiences! No! Grrr fate really does like to screw with me, doesn't she?

"Why do you look so angry?" He asked softly and frowned as he rubbed the sweat off his forehead. I frowned at him then shook my head.

"Don't worry about it. There's a lot on my mind," I said then ran my fingers through his hair slowly. "Just relax. You haven't hit the worst of it yet." I can't tell him that I'm a little peeved he's a werewolf.

"Louis, please help me," he begged softly. "I don't want this," he whispered. "I don't want to be a wolfman." He curled up to the trash can quickly before puking into it- probably throwing up those pills I just gave him with it. I frowned then rubbed his back gently.

"I know.... No one wants to be a mutt," I grumbled then widened my eyes. Oops.

"L-Louis," he whispered and winced. "You're not going to treat me like that, are you?"

"No," I said quickly then kissed his neck from behind. "You're my mate, August. I'll love you no matter what you are." Though his bite will be able to kill me from now on. I tsked a little at the thought then leaned in towards his ear. "You better not bite me though, August. After this, your bite will be able to kill me. All werewolf bites kill vampires."

"Don't restrain me of my freedoms and I won't bite you," he promised me before groaning a little and puked again- his body starting to tremble a little. His breath started to quicken as I heard a bone make a cracking sound in his body. He let out a loud scream then- making one of my newborns rush into the room in concern.

"Master Louis," she said quickly. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, we're fine," I said sharply her way then went to dismiss her but thought better of it. "See about finding something for his pain- a syringe or something. Go steal some morphine from a hospital." She nodded before I caught her looking at August curiously before at me and then teleported. August started to tear up and rubbed at his eyes. She appeared then in front of me with a syringe and bottle full of liquid labeled morphine. She held it out to me then and gave a smile.

"Here, I stole this from the infirmary downstairs." I nodded then waved her off as I started to fill the needle up and held him down, injecting it into him after I found one of his veins.

"Alright August, this is going to help with the pain, but it can only do so much," I said and tossed the empty bottle and syringe. "Relax and don't fight what's happening. It'll go quicker." He's going to have a really rough time... and I have no clue what exactly is going to happen when he's done. I've never watched a werewolf long enough! I only know the basics that transformations hurt! I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket then. I frowned and got to my feet, pulling out my phone and glancing the caller ID over then widened my eyes. FUCK! LAURENCE! I threw my phone as my stone started to beat rapidly. HOLY FUCK! NO! HE'S FINALLY COME FOR ME!

"Really?" Laurence asked from behind me. "Damn, answer your phone next time. I don't have the energy to go jumping half way across the world to tell you Victor had a werewolf mate in his earlier years." Laurence told me and crossed his arms. "Now, I'm going back to my tea party with Dante and Val," he told me before disappearing without letting me get a word in. I tsked then clenched my jaw. What does that have to do with- Oooooh. I shot a look towards August then went over to my phone but froze up as soon as I leaned over. My eyes landed on a pair of familiar shoes... Victor.

"I sensed you needed me," he purred out then grabbed me, pulling me into a hug. "So~ who are we killing, Louis?"

"We're not killing anyone," I grumbled and shoved him off me. "I'm surprised you already came. Look, Laurence pointed out that you used to have a werewolf mate. Fix mine." Pointing over to August, I gave Victor a no bullshit face and watched as he nodded. He pulled out some sort of herb from his pocket and a bottle of water from his coat then walked over to August as he smooshed the herb up and mixed it into the water.

"Drink this," he ordered, putting it in August's hand. "It's going to help you, kitten."

"He's definitely not a kitten," I grumbled at him. "What is that anyways?"

"Wolfsbane. It's basic werewolf knowledge to feed a werewolf wolfsbane when they're turning their first few times. I thought you would know that Louis," he said and smirked, his eyes turning to look at me. "Or are you ignorant enough to not realize why they call it wolfsbane? I wouldn't go eating it either, Louis. It'll make you sick, so make sure it only winds up in this mutt's stomach."

"I'm not stupid," I hissed. "I just stay away from werewolves! Don't call him a mutt either. He's already insecure about being a wolf."

"It's going to make me feel better?" August asked desperately.

"Yes," Victor purred at him. "It's an old remedy for your kind. Packs feed it to the first turners all the time. Now drink up. It's going to taste like grass water so don't let it sit on your tongue for too long." He eyed over the drink before starting to down it as fast as he could and shivered as he finished it off before giving a sudden tired look. "There, he'll be calmer and wake up turned. Give him a bath as soon as he's done. You need to clean his fur up." He pointed towards me then teleported away with that piece of advice. Damn... this is becoming a full time job rather quickly. I groaned and walked over to the bed, sitting down near August then wrinkled up my nose at the smell of his vomit from earlier. He gave a small sigh as he started to drift off asleep by me.
