“And you believe we can cure her?”
“That will be up to your medical talents. I will avail myself to your efforts in any way that I can. But first, we must find her and keep her counterpart from unleashing its rage and revealing our existence to the masses.”
“My heart beats for nothing more.”
The leather cord that hung around Marcus’ neck slipped from beneath his shirt collar as he bent to pick up the last of the boxes. He quickly tucked the makeshift necklace and the ring that dangled from it back under his shirt. He felt the cool metal rest against the burn scars on his chest as he continued. Leaving London, his residency, all of it, behind was a simple decision. Nothing would be the same, not until he had found Emily, not until he had found a way to kill the werekind within them.
Marcus set the last parcel into the boxcar. He could feel the unseen body within his own as he worked. He could feel its hunger, its bitterness. He turned back to the smaller man. “I will find her and I will find a way to free her, to free all of us. I swear it to you, by all that is in me.”
Otto smiled. “I believe you shall, my good doctor. I believe you shall.”
Watch for more of Marcus and Emily in Jaregund by J. Aurel Guay, a full-length novel slated for release in early 2015.
