Werewolf Dreams (27 page)

Sarah shook her head in confusion.  “Everything about you makes me uncomfortable! Who are you?  I mean, most people can’t come within 3 feet of me and you’re acting like a magnet.  And you marked me! Like, is this permanent? Seriously, who are you?” Sarah demanded, stopping in the middle of the empty hallway.

Zane stopped too, his hand falling away from her back as he turned to face her.  Sarah stared up at him, breathing fast and her heart racing. He stepped closer to her and cupped his hands around her face.  She immediately felt that strange pleasant warmth seep into her skin and she stepped closer before she knew what she was doing.  He smiled and tilted her face up towards him. 

“I recognized you were different as soon as you stepped onto the grounds of the school.  I could feel you coming closer as you were walking down the street. I can feel the blood coursing through your veins and through your heart.  I’m like you.”

Sarah blinked quickly and tried to step back, putting her hand on Zane’s chest. “What do you mean like me?  What do you think I am?” she asked, her voice shaking.

Zane placed his hand over the top of hers on his chest and closed his eyes as she felt some of her energy leave and enter him.

“You’re a witch of course, just like me.”

Sarah’s mouth opened in shock as she jerked her hand out of Zane’s grasp.  “No,” she said, shaking her head firmly.  “I have psychokinesis but I’m not a witch.  There’s a book about people just like me. You can buy it on Amazon. No! There’s no way I’m a witch. That’s crazy,” she whispered.

Zane looked genuinely surprised.  “You pushed my power back with your foot!  You have an energy field bigger and brighter than anyone’s I’ve ever seen. You can call it
psychokinesis if you want, but from where I’m standing, you’re a witch.”

Sarah felt something that could have been tears mist her eyes as she pulled back from Zane shaking her head.  “I don’t have to be anything I don’t want to be.”

Zane’s mouth twitched up on one side as he studied her with compassion.  “That’s like a wolf saying he’s just a little puppy. We really need to hang out.  There are a few things we need to talk about.  First priority would have to be you accepting yourself.”

Sarah continued to inch away from Zane.  “And what’s the second priority?”

Zane grinned at her.  “Me of course. Although if you want to make me first, I’m okay with that too.”

There are many people I’d like to thank who helped me along my way.  I’d like to thank Zach Hill for editing and Jessica G. for her feedback. I also want to thank LFD Designs for Authors for the amazing cover they created for Werewolf Dreams. I also want to thank my kids for giving me a reason to push beyond myself.  Without them, I’d just be sitting around reading everyone else’s books.
