Chapter 31 - The Journal



The Journal of Greggorius Lunvik... Beth was fascinated. It was hard to remember that the troubled man whose thoughts she was reading was the monster in the woods her parents had warned her about since she was little.

Miranda was enthralled by the history Beth was discovering...

...especially the hints of old magic that gave her ideas of new magical experiments of her own.

Miranda also took up yoga, like Gwen did, as a way to focus her mind and energies. Kristopher had an old yoga mat he let her use.

Beth encouraged Jake to read the Journal as well. There was, she felt, so much in there that would help him in his journey toward becoming the leader she knew he was going to be.

Nick worried he was having a hard time control the wolf.

Jake had a scar over his eye now, from the night Nick had lost it and gone after him.

He was afraid of what might happen if he lost control around Miranda...

Dancing... Dancing was Nick's thing!

So he got everyone together at Grimtooths.

Tearing up the dance floor...

Hanging by the bonfire...

Working out some tension...

... and making some moves.

A night to party and relax was exactly what they'd needed.

To face what was to come...

"Miranda," Kristopher approached her quietly. "I need to talk to you. I was in the library and... I'm sorry, Miranda..."
