Blood Wars

Chapter 19: Gotcha

I followed him all the way to Rosie's. Instead of going in the front, I parked my truck behind the bar and used the employes entrance. The back room was quiet and empty. I looked out the window and saw that I had a perfect view of the bar. Ezekiel was sitting alone drinking some scotch Lacy had poured him.

By the second one, Lacy had seen me snooping and started walking towards the door. I duck down quickly just in case my father decided to look this way. She walked in and laughed when she saw me sprawled out on the floor.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Shhhhh. Don't let my dad hear you.” She shook her head as I pulled her towards the back. “I'm following him. Jacob told me he was fooling around with someone.”

“No way! Your dad is like Mr. conservative. How is that even possible?” Ezekiel had a lot of people fooled but after tonight that would change.

“I don't know, but that's what I am trying to figure out.” She didn't ask anymore questions. I could tell she felt awkward about what I had told her. When she walked back out to the bar, she wouldn't look directly at my father without blushing.

He was the head of our coven and any indiscretions would be quite embarrassing to everyone. It was his job to lead by example, besides who wants to know about an old mans affairs.

After about an hour of drinking, Ezekiel left. I ran out to my truck and got into position to follow. He started driving deep into the woods and I knew that he would notice me following him in the truck.

I pulled off to the side of the rode and began to run. I didn't have the speed of a werewolf, but I could run fast and he was driving slow avoiding trees. He drove for about twenty minutes before stopping right at the edge of a clearing.

Thankfully there were plenty of trees to use as cover and I hid a couple feet away as he pulled out blankets from his back seat. Suddenly a harsh reality hit me, I would have to sit here and listen to them do what ever they did. I shuddered. This was going to be very unpleasant, but I was committed.

He carried everything out to the middle of the field. Just as he finished laying out the blanket a girl my age walked out from behind the trees. My mouth fell open. Seriously, she was so young. What kind of freak was my father?

She stepped into the moon light and I got a better look at her face. My blood was boiling. That bitch!

I don't know what I was expecting, but I was definitely not expecting to see Bridgette. It took all I had to keep myself calm and under control. If my skin started glowing they would see me instantly. It was only by pure luck that I had picked a spot downwind so Bridgette wouldn't be able to smell me.

I reached out through the pack link and found that she was blocking everyone. I tried to find a weakness in her wall, but came up empty. Bridgette gasped and my heart stopped for a moment.

“What is it darling?” My father ran his fingers down her cheek and she sighed.

“Nothing. Just someone trying to contact me through the pack link.” She hugged him and he held her gently. It angered me that he could be so kind and gentle with this girl and so hateful towards his family.

“You look beautiful.” He kissed her. She moaned lightly and I had to turn away to stop myself from gagging. What happened next was torture. I had to cover my ears to block out the moans and screams. It felt like hours that they went at it.

When they finally finished, The watch I had worn said it was almost two in the morning. They said their goodbyes and my father left. Bridgette stayed in the clearing and I took my chance. I stepped into the clearing quietly, trying not to make any noise.
