Chapter 0424 But I still needed to know why he would do something like that. Lewis wasn'ta pervert; | knew that much. If he was working for the Crescents, then that meant that he was potentially following us. How long he had been doing that, though, was still a mystery to me. Just thinking about it made my blood run cold; | imagined him watching us through windows, around comers, and through the trees for who knows how long. It made me sick to think that my father's Beta, the kind and caring yet gruff man who | had known since | was a child, would have tumed into someone who was perfectly okay with stalking us.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| decided then that | needed to check my father's house. | hadn't been there in a long time; for all | knew, it was completely ransacked by now.
Itwasn't as if there was anything that | wanted in that house, and | didn't care much about it since we only moved there after my mother died. | hated the way that cold, modem house looked with its enormous windows, gray appearance, and boxy shape. | hated everything that it stood for. But | still needed to know what happened to it since my father died, and if Lewis and his followers were there, then | wanted to see what they were up to.
Nina and | stared down at the footprints in the snow for a few moments.
I could feel her trembling slightly beside me, although | wasn't sure if it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas from fear or just from the cold. Either way, | gently put my arm around her and rubbed up and down her shoulder as | tumed around and guided her back toward the motorcycle.
Once we were out of the trees, we were able to speak freely. The sound of the ocean rushed up on us the moment we stepped out from the deafening treeline, masking our voices.
"Who was it, do you think?" she whispered as we hurried back to the motorcycle. "I got some bad energy from those eyes, like I've seen them before." I swallowed hard and stared down at the ground. "I think it was Lewis," | finally admitted. “I'm not exactly sure what he's up to..." "What if he's working with the Crescents?" Nina asked. "While you were gone, | spent alot of time talking to your cousin, Myra, while the Fullmoons were stationed in Mountainview. She said that Lewis was up to no good, and she even thought that he might be working with the Crescents."
I raised my eyebrows. Nina hadn't mentioned that bit of information before, but now it was all making sense.
“Do you know where Myra is?" | asked, figuring that if | could just talk to my cousin, then we could get to the bottom of this.
But Nina shook her head solemnly. “The last time | talked to her, she said that Lewis was making them pack up to leave Mountainview, but she and some of the other Fullmoons disagreed with his new power and were planning on splitting off from the group. | don't know what happened or if they were able to accomplish that. For all | know, Lewis..." Nina's voice faltered. | knew what she was going to say, though; she was going to imply that Lewis may have possibly killed them. At this point, | wouldn't have been surprised. Lewis may have wanted to kill off anyone who dared to challenge him. | hoped that wasn't the case, though. Now | only wanted to check on my father's house more than ever “Come on," | said, handing Nina her helmet. "We're going on another ride.”
