Unknown Touch: Werewolf Series, 1

Chapter 20 Reveal

I explained to Daniel what Zac told me, which was extremely brief, but to the point. We needed to make a move on Stephen soon. Daniel started the car and within minutes we arrived at the resort. We decided to gather everyone for another meeting, while we waited on Zac and Tessa to return.

Daniel searched for Abigail and I went to the cabin to fetch Dom and Eli. Eli was elbow deep in research papers and Dom worked on a laptop. The three of us quickly walked to the main building. Dom poked at my arm and quietly asked, "So, did you make any major decisions I should know about?"

"Yes," I answered, knowing full well he wanted all the details. "Look, we don't have a lot of time to talk in depth right this minute. Let me give you the short version. Try not to interrupt. Daniel and I love each other. I'm staying here with him after this ordeal with Stephen is over. If The Liaison needs my psychic help in the future, I'm in. Call me. And finally, I'm not going to make a decision now about whether I will or won't convert into a werewolf. That covers the main points."

Dom was tremendously relieved I had chosen to put on hold any ideas of being transformed into a werewolf. I'm sure he figured that could give him more time to try and convince me to never make the conversion. And when I mentioned how I wanted to keep helping The Liaison in the future, he smiled and squeezed my arm. Of course, I failed to mention that Daniel would be coming along with me on those missions.

But, Dominic was content for now. In the future, more supernatural situations would be brought to the attention of The Liaison and I would be called into play. Dom would get to spend time with me. Together, we'd use our psychic powers to fight evil and bring about peace and tranquility. Hmm... I think I plucked that last sentence from Dom's thoughts.

Everyone assembled in the lounge. Zac and Tessa had just parked and rushed in through the door. Abigail mentioned that she had supper prepared, and perhaps we could move to the dining room and talk while we ate. She seemed fidgety and hurried us along, as if the food could get cold.

Zac and Tessa took turns describing the results of their surveillance and what they'd witnessed throughout the day. They spent most of their time staking out Simon's place. They used a type of sound amplifier, a listening device, in an attempt to hear conversations. With the use of some high-powered binoculars, and a few other James Bond gadgets I couldn't remember the names of, it had been a fairly successful day. If any of the werewolves discovered them, Zac had planned to camouflage their gear, and play the role of a husband trying to show his wife how to track and hunt deer.

Excellent cover story, I thought, nodding with approval.

Zac went on, telling us how Stephen managed to sway David's opinions and thoughts. David was the youngest werewolf in the new pack. He had a rough time keeping his wild, wolf side under control. He transformed frequently into a wolf and enjoyed chasing wildlife. But, he wasn't nearly as aggressive or angry like Stephen.

Stephen kept pushing David to join him in a little revenge against Daniel. He wanted to sabotage either Daniel's truck or set the boat dock on fire. According to Zac, Stephen had not made a decision to take action yet. He seemed to be having too much fun playing around with different ideas. From what they could hear, David and Stephen joked and laughed, sounding like partners in crime.

Tessa pointed out how Simon, Lydia and David's wife, Rachel, were not in agreement with Stephen and David's destructive behavior. They had remained calm, not wanting to provoke Stephen, but firmly let him know they wouldn't take part in damaging property or harming anyone. Stephen acted like he didn't need their permission or assistance, and would do whatever he wanted. He had patted David on the back, like they were best friends. Tessa said Rachel glared at David, shook her head in anger, and stomped off, like she didn't know what to do about him.
