Free Malevolence - Legacy Series Book Two (The Legacy Series) by Devyn Dawson

to you.   We want to help you and if you don’t shift back, you may never be able to do it.    I need you to hold on, keep your humanity.” Oakley pleaded.   He put his hands on the bars with his face between them, “Sam, it will be okay.”  
     
                “We’ll find Storm but we can’t without your help,” I said .
     
                She stayed on the floor but barred her teeth and snarled at us.
     
                “I don’t know Abe, she is slipping away.     Soon we won’t have any options and she’ll be another missing person’s case that goes unsolved.”   Oakley said as we walked back up the stairs.
     
                I ran up the stairs when I heard my laptop ringing, letting me know someone was trying to Skype with me.   “I bet that is Pru.   She sent a text saying she was going to call.”   I yelled out as I clicked the ‘accept’ button.
     

 
    Chapter 13 Flight
     
    “She gave him the mirror in his hand, and he saw therein the likeness of the most beautiful maiden on earth, and saw, too how the tears were rolling down her cheeks with grief.” The Crystal Ball ~ Grimm’s Household Tales
     
                We were loading up the back of Oakley’s truck with our luggage when a Ford Escape SUV with Texas plates pulled up.   We turn around to watch Parker the environmentally conscience werewolf, get out of the SUV.   I saw Chrissy admiring him as he zipped up his army green jacket and position his scarf around his neck like he was modeling for some magazine.   A twinge of jealousy rattled me; it was nothing I couldn’t control.
     
                “Parker, dude, I’m glad to see you,” I said as I gave him the man hug.   I knew Oakley wasn’t a huge fan of Parker, but the pack didn’t really know the extent he went to for the pack.   He basically ostracized himself from the pack to do some undercover work for General Phelan.
     
                “You’re lucky I was in Kansas, I packed up the Escape and drove straight here,” Parker said. “You want me to drive you guys to the airport?”
     
                Oakley shook his head no as he told him it wouldn’t be necessary, Chrissy was giving us a ride.   I watched as him and Parker talked about the O’Connell member being off the radar and Sam locked in the dungeon.   I grabbed the laptop bags and set them behind the driver’s seat in the truck.  
     
                “I’d love nothing better than to drink a cup of coffee and chat about the pack, but we’ve got a plane to catch and Chrissy’s teeth are chattering,” I said.   “Parker, call us the minute Sam shifts back to her human side.   If you can get her to eat that would help too.   It sickens me to think if she doesn’t shift back, we’ll have to destroy her.   Of course we won’t have to worry about that if she starves herself to death.”   I pulled Chrissy closer and wrapped my arms around her to give her some heat.   I kissed her on the forehead and said, “Get in the truck; I’ll be there in a second.”
     
                “I know. I want to spend every minute with you that I can.”   Chrissy said through chattering teeth.   Her whole body was shivering as she climbed into the truck.
     
                “Trust me, that Sam girl is a spitfire,” Oakley said.   “If anyone can deal with her, I’m sure you’re the wolf that can.”
     
                Parker stroked his goatee with his ungloved hand; giving him the deep in thought look.   Knowing him, he was.   He put his other hand on my shoulder to talk to me privately.   Oakley got in the truck with Chrissy and turned up his new Tears for Fears CD.
     
                “I’ve got two more guys coming up from Texas to help out around here.   I hope I didn’t overstep my boundaries or anything,” Parker said.
     
                “ No, I
