"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡgadnk4KOxr
"Weslyn," he murmured, reaching up to wrap his arms around me.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLKdIX5dE
"Blayze." He pulled away from me, his eyes fixed on mine.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOglsr2I0O
I had never looked at his eyes closely... But now that he was so close, it was impossible not to stare.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gYkEiop7W
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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7B0lkXrx
His eyes were partly gray.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡBolSKOjMxj
The sudden realisation made me snap out of my trance and return my attention to the present.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEAyYfRnEY
"What's wrong?" he asked.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuer6eMqcd
"Were your eyes like that before?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCjGn709E
"What?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKiVjhaaEP
"Your eyes," I repeated. "They're gray around the edges, brown from the centre... But also black."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjnpqBbQN
"Unusual, isn't it?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNB26ipdiz
"Unusual doesn't start to describe it."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCjaxCrIN6
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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW3RjthUE7
"Yeah..." he trailed off, staring . "I feel like there's something I can't remember."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Vj71BxfT
"What?" I wasn't used to hearing that from someone else.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wqi43KMQ
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkMUb5nt02
I had almost forgot the four dreaded words that he had said before collapsingcopyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI7w1fxDMN
"W-Weslyn you're in d-danger."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTV3ke8nYU
He was right. He had come with something important to say... He had come with a warning.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡePf0Kq67T6
"You came to warn me, saying I was in danger."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡauOi0Qxytj
His eyes widened at my words, as he seemed to recall what had happened before.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0dh4xvcVu
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ajma3NhbH
"And how would they do that?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmccEd2cMw
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8xJpBhUOd
"Yeah, you did."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWnIjyM6PY
"That army was made to defeat you."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡOck0pZdrbZ
"But..." I stared at him in disbelief. "Most of the Luna Pack and everyone else thought I was dead. How did he know?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH7urx6IrV
"How else?" Blayze asked. "Someone told him, Weslyn."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQRjzbRlhG
"Who would do something like that?" I believed that my pack was loyal to me; that they would never betray me.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5TE6iEkKQ
"The Grants," he told me. What? I couldn't believe what I was hearing.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxrcYZjHr
"You don't mean Martyn, do you?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDh6WRhOcz
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxFocLHQ6r
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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq9eSmcRFU
"But I thought they hated Brown Wolves." I didn't know if it was true, but it definitely seemed like it.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUxA0uriiE
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbxbniSdp
I was silent, as I thought of Martyn's words from before.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUPs8HOlyu
"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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQoMrpgSHz
"Wait a minute, doesn't Lucian have the Brown Wolf illness?"copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzlI6x6ppk
If Lucian was inflicted with the illness, there was no way he would be able to lead a pack, let alone fight me.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJeDbml0IT
"He's been cured."copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXKUKbj141
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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡABAWkHtq6S
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 protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBYzNlUO3
She had cured Lucian Bronze.copyright protection88ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk1zeLLxMP
