An Uneasy Accord

Chapter 36 - Back to Business

The low thunderous growl rumbled in Derek's chest as his body relented for the final time. Brooklyn fisted the sheets and cried out as his body erupted claiming her again. His stamina was incredible as they collapsed on the bed in a tangled heap of legs and arms. Her heart was pounding as Brooklyn battled to control her breathing.

"Sorry," he shrugged and stole another kiss. It had been the most mind blowing sex either one had experienced.

"Right," she playfully rolled her eyes. As much as the hunter loved being intertwined with her lover, they had to get up at some point. "Come on," she tugged his hands as he got up out of the bed.

The day was calm but it was a bright deception as the town was still on edge over the recent attacks. Brooklyn was still certain she was missing something with the attacks, something that connected every single one of the victims.

They pulled up in front of Fenris' house, noticing his car was parked in the driveway.

"Looks like the good doctor is home," Brooklyn smiled as they slid out of the Camaro.

Derek pounded his fist on the door, hearing the doctor on the other side of the door. Fenris cautiously drew the heavy oak door open but upon sight of the hunter and werewolf he started to close it in a panicked manner.

"Going somewhere?" Derek slammed an open palm on the door and pushed it open with ease.

"Get out," Fenris went for the gun but Brooklyn had spotted it first.

"No," she slid it in her waistband. "We're here to talk so just take a Valium and relax okay?"

Fenris realized he was surrounded and flopped on the couch. Brooklyn took up the opposite side, noticing the photos and books were as they had been left a few days before.

"What do you want?" He carded his hands through his hair. It looked as if the man had not had a decent night's sleep in ages.

"Information," Derek coolly added. "We're not here to hurt you alright?"

"If we wanted to hurt you we would've done it already," Brooklyn said with a thin sly smile.

"Look I'm not sure what else you want to know," he flung his hands up in frustration. "I've spent 15 years researching this stuff and look where it landed me!"

"Yet you still have all this," Derek waved his hand over the files and books. "So you must still believe it."

"Sometimes," Fenris admitted.

"Well it's real," Brooklyn reminded him a bit too harshly. "And so are the hunters who want to kill them. Must we go over this again?"

"No," the good doctor waved a hand. "But I do have more to tell. Please have a seat."

Brooklyn and Derek perched on the couch as Fenris pulled something up on his computer. "When I made the connection between the woman…."

"Laura! Her name is Laura," Derek turned on an instant. Brooklyn grabbed his shoulder keeping seated beside her.

"Derek it's okay," she rubbed the back of his neck. "He didn't know remember?"

Fenris caught the hunter's eyes as he continued.

"Anyways I discovered differences between werewolves who were born and those who were bitten. Once a year they gather together during the Wolf Moon."

Brooklyn looked over at Derek who nodded in confirmation. "Native Americans gave each full moon a name. February was the Ice Moon. March was the Storm Moon and January was…"
