Transitioning Into The Unknown [Book 2]

Is It A Double-Cross?

"He's a valuable asset Elijah, and I owe him for the ritual and unfortunately what he asked me for, is not something I could get him so easily. So if doing him a simple favor is all that I can do, I will do it. It's not like it's anything hard." I say striding back into my home.

I see Katherine standing by the couch twisting her fingers nervously.

"Katherine, love, did you know he's a werewolf and he easily could've told you were in the house. But you show your face in the window how stupid could you be."

I walked forward and grabbed her chin tilting it directly to my face so I can see clearly into her eyes,

"I've promised to keep the secret of Stiles leaving, and since you heard it when you weren't supposed to, you will also keep this secret to yourself. If I find somehow you've gone around my compulsion and told someone, you'll be no longer needed and I will kill you. I won't even do it myself, remember Peter, the friendly werewolf with the pretty blue eyes, I gave him the right to kill you, when I was done with you, and luckily for you, he is still in town, if you decide to somehow betray me. Don't think I'm not smart enough to think you'd betray me, but I believe your will to survive would lead you to not try to plan a way to get out of my compulsion." I say letting go of her face as I walk away from her.

My brother, Elijah, still following me, for reasons I don't understand nor that I cannot fathom.

"Brother, I've been meaning to ask about that. That man, Peter, you know what he is or whatever is going on with his eyes?"

I'm curious to figure out how Elijah even noticed his eyes were different, but I guess the full moon and the whole ritual, maybe he saw him shift. Who knows.

"I know about his eyes," I say purposely not telling my brother anything just to anger him.

My Brother is no fun. He quickly realizes what I'm doing and just looks away but I guess he's not done asking questions,

"What about that strength? He easily tossed me across a parking lot, it didn't even look like he struggled. Werewolves are not normally that strong, not against an original."

I stop what I'm doing and give him a sidelong look,

"Why did he throw you across the parking lot? When did you even meet him outside of the ritual?"

"Brother."

"I'm not answering unless you tell me why? I consider these people my allies as of this moment, I'd like to know why you decided to try to ambush them in a parking lot."

Elijah sighs sitting down in the chair in the living room. I pour us both a shot of bourbon and I sit down as well. As usual, Elijah doesn't even touch the liquor. What a bore.

"Damon told me about the man's unique looking wolf, so I went to go investigate myself, to see what it was he was talking about. So I met up with him in a parking lot to question him. But instead of getting the jump on him, he tossed me across the parking lot like I was nothing. And so I got no information out of him. Now, will you please tell me why his eyes are blue. And they seem to change color?"

I frowned at the comment about changing color but I decided to answer him honestly,

"Apparently even though our life is long, we have not yet run into a different kind of werewolf. Apparently, in a small California town called Beacon Hill's, a different kind of werewolf runs rampant. Peters kind of werewolf. They can't all fully shift into wolves. Yet they have more control over the full moons and they seem to be stronger than other werewolves and vampires alike. The fact they can control themselves on the full moon is quite special. I never ran into any of them, I assume with the ability to control themselves so well if you didn't run in their circles, you probably would never run into them. Stiles told me that Peter's eyes are blue because he killed someone. Apparently their eyes change different colors depending on their actions. Yellow eyes are how they are born or if they are bitten. Which is something quite interesting. The fact that they can turn werewolves through bites. But they start off with yellow eyes either way, if they kill someone their eyes turn blue, and if they are something called an alpha, their eyes are red. Stiles told me that alphas are stronger and harder to kill, apparently, he's experienced a few. They normally travel with pack dynamics; alpha, beta, omega." I trailed off, basically reciting from his bestiary word for word what he wrote down.

"And why do his eyes turn purple?" Elijah said.

Purple?

"Purple?" I ask, is he sure he ran into Peter?

Elijah looked at me like I'm stupid, I don't appreciate it,

"Yes, his eyes turned purple. I was only to know about the blue eyes, but when he threw me his eyes definitely turned purple. I thought they were somehow double-crossing you and going to trick you. And I was going to use it against them and you, but seeing as we are peaceful now I thought I might as well tell you."

I sat back taking a sip of my drink. I could always just call Stiles and ask. if I surprise him and ask him, he won't have the chance to lie to me. Elijah, looked at me like I was crazy, but I know the kid well enough that it will probably work.

I guess I'll visit them later to see what that is all about. As far as I knew, only Stiles had purple eyes. First I will finish my drink.

Notes:

I hope everyone enjoyed reading. The book is slowly coming to a close. I have plans for the next book. I will say they are different plans than I originally had for the next book but 'tis the life of a writer.

I predict another maybe five or six chapters left for this book. Only because I have something to write about but I'd like to keep it in this book even if it's after Stiles and Peter leave. So it'll probably add another 2 chapters to what was originally going to be the end of the book. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway.

Actually I'm quite sure you'll enjoy the last two chapters of the book. Expect good things to come.
