"YOU'RE AWAKE." I didn't know what to expect from him, now that he was awake. If what Anna had said was true and Blayze would be in love with me... Would he be different from before?copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3vVpHzGvB
"Weslyn," he murmured, reaching up to wrap his arms around me.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡazO4TFdQem
"Blayze." He pulled away from me, his eyes fixed on mine.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCa5oezIxa
I had never looked at his eyes closely... But now that he was so close, it was impossible not to stare.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7eo2D5CkB
I thought his eyes were deep brown but I was wrong. Maybe they looked brown from afar... Up close, I could see that the depth in his eyes weren't from the colour, brown.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡdua1z4HMUW
His eyes were partly gray.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzjpXxZF5
The sudden realisation made me snap out of my trance and return my attention to the present.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡaydoWg21Sn
"What's wrong?" he asked.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5SN7rROdL
"Were your eyes like that before?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm6kGwhewX
"What?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGvw5rM8sF
"Your eyes," I repeated. "They're gray around the edges, brown from the centre... But also black."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KnSSPJH2
"Unusual, isn't it?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡvspCM683kE
"Unusual doesn't start to describe it."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ElvaqXXyp
It was far more than unusual. Being a Brown Wolf with gray eyes was impossible. After the Brown Wolf transformation, their hair and eyes, almost instantly become brown. But Blayze's eyes were still gray.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4unsnfh6X
"Yeah..." he trailed off, staring . "I feel like there's something I can't remember."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCpKebQnfb
"What?" I wasn't used to hearing that from someone else.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPmM0NJYm
"As in, I came to this place, the Luna Pack House... And I feel like I came here to say something important, but now I can't seem to remember what it was."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BqEZT1eb8
I had almost forgot the four dreaded words that he had said before collapsingcopyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvKBgZN7m2
"W-Weslyn you're in d-danger."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡioj8L59yP7
He was right. He had come with something important to say... He had come with a warning.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJlCIfEXq
"You came to warn me, saying I was in danger."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9WxKcxxjT
His eyes widened at my words, as he seemed to recall what had happened before.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡACiTL3ZVBO
"You are in danger," he replied grimly. "Lucian Bronze and those around him are trying to gain power over the Luna Pack... And the only way to do that, is by overthrowing you."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wMMSpu73r
"And how would they do that?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBunlGUT0
"I told you about Lucian, didn't I? I told you about the agreement he made, so he could increase in power and build up an army of Brown Wolves..."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuD6npankM
"Yeah, you did."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnjX9bmEjq
"That army was made to defeat you."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RgHlD32yX
"But..." I stared at him in disbelief. "Most of the Luna Pack and everyone else thought I was dead. How did he know?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nrGuP5Ecq
"How else?" Blayze asked. "Someone told him, Weslyn."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnNKlXVHBf
"Who would do something like that?" I believed that my pack was loyal to me; that they would never betray me.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6ops1tuA
"The Grants," he told me. What? I couldn't believe what I was hearing.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxXRerHj5T
"You don't mean Martyn, do you?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwhxhCvdk7
"I don't know about him," Blayze answered. "I've never seen him with Lucian before... But I do know, for sure, that his sister, Maryanne and their father can't be trusted."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPzQf1SIw
I should've known. Who else would have readily betrayed me? The two of them were the only ones who hadn't entirely accepted me as their Alpha.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡs94q1iRICX
"But I thought they hated Brown Wolves." I didn't know if it was true, but it definitely seemed like it.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmuTULwpYQ
"Maybe they do; maybe they don't," he said. "What matters is that they hate you the most and they would do anything to get rid of you."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrjl0aA23j
I was silent, as I thought of Martyn's words from before.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡywsDWtVNcy
"Brown Wolves have a shorter life span. Around 40 years of age; maybe even late 30s... They become ill. They physically weaken and also gradually lose there sanity. Often the ill Werewolf would be put down soon afterwards..."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUgIO1ed0
"Wait a minute, doesn't Lucian have the Brown Wolf illness?"copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Krp5rzGtD
If Lucian was inflicted with the illness, there was no way he would be able to lead a pack, let alone fight me.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ029tF5WBT9
"He's been cured."copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EY4UGSWV6
Cured? I almost started to disagree, when I remembered something. It was so important; I couldn't believe it hadn't crossed my mind.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1QoqWQ0Dk
Mary had left for years on end, just to find a cure for the Brown Wolf illness. And when I had asked her whether she had found it, she had avoided answering me... There was no other explanation for it.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDmM62R3DL
She had cured Lucian Bronze.copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNpaRkRKhM
