Wolf Shifter Diaries: Lies Tamed (Sweet Paranormal Wolf & Fae Fantasy Romance Series Book 2) by E. Hall (books for men to read TXT) 📗

Corbin nods. “But they’re of no help to us now.”

“Not necessarily. We know that Amanda wanted the cloak.”

“To do Visalia, the werewolf’s, dirty work,” Claude says.

“But Clove wanted it too. They killed Tatiana over it,” I add. “And my father left me the house and a ghost. Surely, there are clues there.”

“We believe the Klave has been growing their numbers and amassing their magic to lift the Accords spell,” Corbin says. “I’m not so sure anything at Lonsdale will point us in their direction.”

He’s being disagreeable.

I sling my arms in front of my chest. “We found one secret room. Maybe there’s another. A meeting place or something.”

“I’m afraid we can’t afford to search for clues. There’s been another death.” Corbin’s Scottish accent is low, hard.

The room goes shifter-wolf still.

The cloak can make a person invisible, but wolves don’t have that innate ability. No magicals do. However, we can be so still and silent, it’s like we’re not even there. It’s eerie and unsettling and probably what they do when stalking prey—haven’t done that personally.

I interrupt the quiet. “But we slayed the werewolf.”

Corbin nods. “It was a man, a hunter, who died.”

Ice slides down my spine. “Where?”

“The Forest of Ken and Clover.”

“That’s the fae lands,” Camilla says. “It’s Melchior’s problem.”

Corbin’s face turns to stone. “And he’s my problem.”

Something my friend Pepper told me comes to mind. She said that Melchior uses the energy from the lives his fae take to prolong his own.

I’m about to say as much when Baker spins his laptop to show us images from the scene. “No bites. No wounds. The guy’s body was found on the edge of the woods.”

“Maybe he had a heart attack?” I say weakly.

Corbin shakes his head. “The Accords spell is lifting.”

About a week ago, on the first day of autumn, Corbin and I were looking out the window. I’m sure I saw the silhouettes of several fae on the edge of the woods. It’s pack land, which is concerning, but so is this latest death and the song that perpetually fills my mind.

“It’s almost like the fae are hunting us,” I whisper.

A menacing growl grinds from Corbin’s throat as if to say no chance.

My brother, Clove, told me that he wants the keys to the kingdom. He has the scepter, and I worry he might accelerate the lift of the spell, returning magicals to their base natures. The spell doesn’t apply to me because I was tri-magical—dual-magical now that Melchior slayed the vampire in me. However, I don’t feel the desire to hunt or kill. The strange song inside of me scares me though and makes me wonder what I am capable of.

No matter what, I have to find out what curse my father wants me to break. I’m afraid that it’s me. That I’m the curse.

I excuse myself from the meeting. Corbin will fill me in later. I have research to do.

About the Author

E. Hall is the author of *unputdownable* fantasy and paranormal romance books. She’s also known for making up words, which kind of goes with the territory. She’s in constant pursuit of wonder, waves, and nachos. When she’s not writing about fae, wolves, and magic, she’s probably writing under her romance pen name...or reading. There is no such thing as too many books.
