Turning The Tides by Bugz Rox (macos ebook reader TXT) 📕

"What if they want to find you to use your power?" Brandon asked as we pulled over infront of Jenna's house.

"Well then, sucks to be them, I haven't got any powers," I said pissed at the hunters.

"That's not true!" Sammy screeched from the backseat, both me and Brandon swiveled around to face him.

William

I felt like crap, my head hurt, my back hurt, my wrists hurt, my body hurt period. The ache in my arms told me that my arms had been wrenched behind me for a while, the burn in my wrists told me that the cuffs were silver.

Wolf? my friend? Are you there? I tried contacting my wolf but he simply wasn't there. I tried letting the wolf be dominant, letting him take over. I let out a strangled cry and squeezed my eyes shut as an unspeakable pain ripped through me, body, heart, and soul.

"Oh look, the little puppy dog's awake," I hadn't noticed the brunett lady, maybe thirty-five, until she'd spoken. I kept my mouth closed, trying to remember what happened. I scoped out my surroundings, a small room, I was in a cage, at that I was pissed-you do not put anyone in a cage. There was another girl, about eighteen, standing behind the lady. She was tall, almost as tall as my 6'6" form, and had a head of curly blonde hair, not as blonde as Pluto's but blonde nonetheless. She was skinny, like they starved the poor girl. Good thing I was only a year older than Pluto, I may be able to swoon that one. I felt very protective of her as I struggled, only succeeding in burning my wrists against the silver. I swore.

Everything came back as I peered at this girl. The Alpha had called us, while I was running through the forest to meet them and help that girl had stepped infront of my big, silver wolf. She wasn't human, nor a wolf, hunter, or vampire, confusing me. Then I'd caught sight of her eyes, those gorgeous blue eyes, fitting her face perfectly as she realised I was her mate at the same time I had.

"I'm sorry," She had whispered as I was hit with something from her hand, knocking me out.

I shook my head, bringing myself back to the present. "What the hell did you do to my wolf?" I growled at them, making the girl cower.

"We put the doggie in a mental cage in your mind," The same lady as before replied.

"You put us in a cage!?!" I snarled at her, I was livid that she would even think of putting me in a cage. "That's just cruel."

"Not for a bad dog, it's not," She told me, completely calm.

"Who said I was a dog, huh? I could just be me," I said through clenched teeth.

"Nope, you're lean, tall, and have the temper of a wolf. Plus, we've been following your progress, why do you choose the towns that you do?"

"There are plenty tall, lean men like me with temper problems," I said, knowing it was futile.

"Wrong! But why do you choose to go to the towns you do, there's no pattern," She said excitedly.

"Go to hell," I said hissed through my teeth. Her merry expression disappeared instantly.

"Listen up, pup. We need to know where that no-good sister of yours is. You know, the Alpha. If she harnesses the power that flows through her, the humans will cease to be the rulers of Earth. She is a bigger abomination than you regularly are. We want to study her, she's the only born female werewolf, she's also an Alpha and her parents are human. She's an oddity and we want to know how she was made, so that we can prevent it from happening again." She leaned in really close as she said this, almost close enough to bite, but not quite.

"Asshole," I muttered as she leaned away, she slapped me, burning my face with her silver rings.

"Tell me!" I spit the blood in her face.

Pluto

"What do you mean I have powers, Sammy? Sammy?" I asked.

"W-when y-you s-s-sleep and have n-nightmares, you end u-up two feet above y-your bed, f-floating," He said nervously at my expression. Brandon put his hand on my arm, calming me down instantly.

"Anything else?" I asked, closing my eyes.

"That thing you did with the lake, we can't do that, and I'll bet Brandon can't either." He answered.

"What thing with the lake?" Brandon asked from beside me.

"Ever since I was little, I've made lakes ice so we could go skating. No one told me that they couldn't do it so I figured it was a normal thing," I said, shrugging.

"And she makes pictures in flames, and the wind wips up when she's angriest. And she can make waves in the lake, or pictures in the ice." Sammy said, blabbering.

"And you don't think that's extraordinary?" Brandon asked, turning towards me.

"No one told me it was. We gotta go inside now," I said as I opened the doors with the wind, "That's what Sammy was talking about." I grabbed Sammy and headed towards the door.

"Hey kids, todays not the best, I'm worried about Lizzy," Jenna's mom said after we knocked.

"We know, what's up?" I asked as we sat on the couch in the livingroom.

"She's taken ill, the doctor said that she won't last through the night, they're letting her stay here though and I'm grateful for that at least," She said as tears formed in her eyes. Sammy's tears were already spilling as he raced up the stairs to where his little mate lay sick and pale. We rushed after him, I looked down.

Princessa, we can heal her, my wolf told me.

How? How do I save this girl? I asked him, tears spilling out of everyone's eyes now, Sammy's because it's his mate, Jenna's and her mother's because they feared loosing the baby, mine because there may be something that I could do but I may not be able to do it, and Brandon's because I was crying.

We're a wolf, but we're some much more, too. You have to harness the ability deep within you. Become one with the healer, the wolf, the human, the hero, the selfishness, the flyer, become everything that you are. Let yourself bask in the feeling of a healer. He said, he helped me chase the run-away parts of the healer. He helped me stitch my healer's identity together and keep her together.

Now what? I asked.

Become her, let her consume you and take control, He answered.

Like on the hunt?

Like on the hunt.

I let myself be taken over by the newly made identity like with the wolf, but where with the wolf, I feel the need to hunt, with the healer I feel the need to heal.

"Look at her eyes!" Jenna's gasp didn't stop my advance to the baby, though it registered in the back of my mind.

I placed my hand on the baby's forhead, following my instincts, I murmured, "Obsecro, sana eam de puero hoc infirmitates." Please heal this child of her sicknesses, in Latin. I don't even know that phrase. My surrounding blurred and came back into focus, telling me the healer had decided that there was no one else to heal. Jenna's mother rushed to the crib, quickly checking her now laughing baby.

She turned back to us, Lizzy in her arms, "She's healed, what did you do?"

"Yes, what did you do? Charlie told Conner, Haven and I that you guys were, uuhh, different," Jenna said from beside her mother.

"We'd have to tell her eventually with what just happened, we're werewolves. That's our life and apparently now I have some assholes after me because I'm a born female werewolf. I wouldn't be surprised if that little girl was put here simply so that I could figure out how to do that," I said, now tired and cranky. I plopped down on the floor resting my head on my hands as I continued, "Not to mention that my brother is currently somewhere with hunters, most likely being tortured so that they can capture me and kill out our entire race. Oh, and we can't forget that Sammy has been mated to that little girl and Liam to Charlie. William may or may not have mated to anyone but I don't know because he left at sixteen, leaving me to fair for four younger werewolves at fifteen years old. It's annoying and hard to have to act like a mother at fifteen because your own is so clueless to the fact that her kids are werewolves. And we can't tell them because they're highly Christianic and would freak if they found out that all six of their children are kids that are litterally made with the beliefs of another God and Goddess!" By the time I was finished, I was yelling at no one in particular and everyone was staring at me. I hadn't noticed that I was standing up until I collapsed from sleep deprivation, stress, and fear. By the time arms wrapped around me, the floor had already blurred and I was gone.

Liam

I was getting scared, the note had said that they were after the born female. That had to be Pluto, she was the only one that fit and it was William that was taken. They had left half an hour ago, Did they get her? I asked my wolf.

No, Brandon would protect her with his life and Kristopher would feel it if his son died. He is the Alpha. Plus, Pluto wouldn't go willingly and you'd be Alpha. You would fell that. He replied.

Thanks, I'll try to get to her through the chat.

Okay.

The conversation was over so I tried to contact Pluto through the chat like I said I would, Plutp? You okay? Pluto? Pluto, you there? PLUTO!?!

"Is Pluto alright?" One of the Twins asked, for once alone. That meant they were afraid.

"I don't kn-" I was inturrupted by the door banging open. "What's wrong!?!" I asked as Brandon rushed in with a lifeless
