64. Origins

ZEDKIEL.

I frown, watching Dad sharply. What scriptures? What the hell is this? The whispers that run through the crowd are growing. The confusion and unrest, irritating me.

“Will you still not talk to me?’ I ask my Lycan. I don’t think I’ve tried as hard before, as I have for the last few days to talk to him, but he hasn’t spoken since agreeing for me to f*ck Evangeline. I need him to realise that we are f**king one. I need him to back me up.
