The Haunted High Series Book 1- The Wolf Within Me

Vicken glanced at me and shook his head. “This is cheesy.”
“I know,” I replied. I set my good hand on Dara’s.
Vicken sighed and put his pale hand on top.
“To the protectors of Haunted High,” I said.
Light lit Alden’s gaze; answering smiles showed on the others’ faces. “To the protectors of Haunted High,” they repeated. Even Vicken said the words.
He dropped his hand before the words had stopped echoing in the corridor. “I can’t believe I just did that.”
“Why?” I asked. “Afraid to be a part of the misfits?”
“Just because I’m still on your little team doesn’t mean we’re friends,” Vicken said, his tone light to soften his words.
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, well, that’s the thing about a team. You pick on one of us….”
Several of them moved behind me and Bracken said in his deep voice, “You pick on all of us, Mr. Fangs.”
I looked at Brack with a laugh. “I think Mr. Fangs is a bit over the top.”
“Really?” Brack asked. “I thought it sounded mobsterish.”
“Oh, now we’re a mob instead of a team?” Vicken joked. “I could get used to that.”
“Yes, Mr. Fangs,” I replied.
He threw a mocking punch at me. Before his hand could connect, Sparrow let out a little blue flame from where she sat on my shoulder. The mist disappeared in a puff of mint.
Vicken stopped short. “Oh, so now you’re in on it?” he questioned the small dragon.
Sparrow looked at me. She gave a small mewling sound.
“I don’t know how I can argue with that,” Vicken said.
“Then don’t,” Dara told him. “Face it. You’re one of us.”
I laughed. “It’s too late,” I told the vampire. “You’ve been chosen.”
Sparrow let out another misty flame. Everyone laughed.
“Let’s get you to Dr. Six,” Dara told me.
Vicken ducked under my arm. “You look like you’re going to fall asleep standing. The last thing we need is a sleepwalking werewolf.”
Alden and I exchanged glances. I let Vicken lead the way up the stairs.
