The werewolf had a wicked look on its face as it stared at Sloane and Mackenzie. Mackenzie instantly held Sloane's hand and Sloane looked at her
"Sloane....mummy. Is mummy alright?" Mackenzie asked and Sloane shook her head
"Your mum's dead. This thing killed her" Sloane said as she stared at the werewolf
"So, the human knows about us. The more reason it is to kill her" the werewolf said. Sloane could only hold Mackenzie tightly as the redness in her eyes began to faded and her eyes were going back to being green; her power was fading and she could feel it....until it was completely gone. "You're not exactly one of us, are you? A human turned?" the werewolf rambled "Either way, both of you are going to die tody" the werewolf said as it began to run towards them. Sloane's mind began to wonder what she would do in this situation and at that point in time, she didn't know when she shouted
"Nathan" her voice was loud and as soon as the werewolf jumped at them, She and Mackenzie had witnessed a large black wolf jump on the one that was just moments from attacking them. It had grabbed the other werewolf by the neck and flung it with much force that it's back had slammed through a tree. The black wolf turned and looked at Sloane and Mackenzie who were breathing heavily
"Nathan" Sloane mumbled as she stared into his eyes and he turned his attention back to the fight.
"You're invading my territory, northerner" Nathan growled at the wolf
"You allowed humans into your forest and I have come to get rid of them, Prince Nathan" the werewolf said and Nathan's eyes had begun to change color as his fur looked like it was set on fire
"Then I will make is so you can never do such again" Nathan said
"Y-you're not a normal werewolf" the werewolf mumbled as it tried to get away from the area but Nathan had already disappeared and the next second, the werewolf's body fell to the ground while in Nathan's mouth was the werewolf's head. Nathan spit it out and its body and head burnt to ashes.
Steam was being released from Nathan's body as he turned into a human. When his transformation was complete, he looked at Sloane but his eyes were not the normal electric blue color she was used to seeing and Mackenzie had his behind Sloane
"Are you and the girl hurt?" Nathan asked
"We're fine" Sloane answered as she tried to look away from Nathan but couldn't. To her, it was like he had gotten even more handsome with the new eye color and to top it off, she could still see his perfectly toned muscles that had completely healed from their fight earlier. Something was calling out to her and telling her to get a taste of Nathan; it was like something was telling her that she wanted him.
Sloane grabbed her head as soon as this happened and Nathan began to change the color of his eyes back to normal.
"Sloane....who is this man?" Mackenzie asked "Did he just transform? What's going on? Is what mum said about you being abnormal true?" She asked and Sloane kept quiet. Mackenzie might be nine, but she was a very bright girl
"Yes, he just transformed. He's a werewolf and the stories they told us at the town are all true. And what your mum said about me being abnormal, is also true" Sloane said and paused "According to Nathan, and some other people, I'm a tribrid" she sighed and there was silence.
"Sloane. She's not supposed to know about us" Nathan said a he grabbed her by the arm and she was forced to look into his eyes
'Just a taste' Sloane heard in her head and her breathing became hectic which Nathan noticed
"Sloane" his voice had snapped her out of it and she shut her eyes just so she could hide its blue glow "Sloane... What does your seed want?" He asked and she refused to say anything "Sloane"
"Please....let's take Mackenzie somewhere else" Sloane said as she opened her eyes which were still glowing "This place brings back bad memories" she said and tears fell from her eyes. It was then that Nathan had noticed the area they were in.
"Alright" Nathan said as he picked up Mackenzie and she held him tightly
"You're strong. I like that" Mackenzie said trying to get her mind away from the fact that her last remaining family, just died. As they walked by her mother's corpse, she began to sob "Bye, mum"
*****
Nathan, Mackenzie and Sloane had moved themselves to an area near the settlement but away from the area were everything went down. Nathan then dropped Mackenzie on a log and she could see the settlement from there. So far, Mackenzie had asked Nathan several questions which he answered not seeing a problem with it. So now, Mackenzie was caught up on everything and everyone she knew that was involved in the settlement.
Nathan looked at Sloane and could see that her eyes were slightly glowing and her hair was trying to hide it. He pulled on her arm and she instantly ended up in his arms and her mind seemed to be going blank.....especially when he used his to hand to push away the strands of hair covering her eyes
'Sloane....tell him to touch you more' she heard the voice in her head say and her eyes glew brighter as a blush appeared on her cheeks
"Nathan... I need....space" she said with heavy breaths and Nathan realized something; her aura was escaping from her body without control.
"Sloane, what does your seed want?" He asked as he finally pulled away from him
"Why do you want to know?" Sloane asked and he sighed as he sat on a tree stump
"You need to know how to control your seed" he said
"What about you? Don't you hear voices in your head?" Sloane asked and Mackenzie sat down to listen to their conversation
"I did something earlier that normal werewolves shouldn't be able to do. Heck, even hybrids can't do that" Nathan said "I do hear voices at times but that's only when it has something important to tell me. I have full control of my seed. And the best way to control it, is to have a mutual understanding with it"
"And how do I do that?" Sloane asked
"Give it what it wants until you and it can see eye to eye" Nathan explained and she gulped "Is something wrong?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Mackenzie asked as she looked at Nathan and he nodded
"You make a good point. Maybe I should have just looked at her face to tell that something was wrong....like you did" Nathan said and Mackenzie smiled "What is wrong, with giving it what it wants?" He asked Sloane and she blushed "It couldn't be" he said as he stared at her reddened cheeks under the moonlight
