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...
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.
... but it wasn't the history and hints at strange magic that held his attention.
It was the powerful bond Greggorius felt toward Avelina. The power of fate that held two moon-touched souls together...
... and how much Greggorius was willing to give up to preserve that fated bond.
Jake found himself thinking about it... a lot.
Nick really didn't do books and studying. Even school made his head pound. It was all he could do not to howl some days. He felt better when he could do something physical. Kristopher had let him set up a workout area in the yard and he used it.
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...
... though she seemed pretty confident she could handle him.
Still, thinking and worrying just wasn't Nick's thing.
Dancing... Dancing was Nick's thing!
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..."
"No... oh, no..."
