To save the small infant’s life,
Chenoa, her grandmother, did the unthinkable. She merged her life force with a
tiny wolf cub then gave the cub to Jennifer, her other grand daughter to take
care of. Too bad, Chenoa died before she was able to undo the spell or tell
anyone what she had done. For twenty years Jessica watched the world pass her
by through the eyes of another creature. Most of the time, the things humans
did didn’t concern her, unless of course they told her to get off the couch or
sleep on the floor. Thank the heavens above for Jennifer, who still doesn’t
know who she truly is, or she’d still be eating raw meat.
Jessica was content and happy for
the most part until she laid eyes on Raphael who came to pick her up from the
wolf rescue center a few weeks ago. Since then, her primary focus has been to
stay by his side and find away to undo her grandmother’s powerful magic.
In the meantime, Jessica has
developed her natural Selkie abilities and has started communicating with
Raphael. At night while he sleeps she enters his dreams under the pretense of
what she should be – a human woman who has two arms to hold him and stands on
two legs, not four.
Convinced he is going mad;
Raphael privately searches for the angel who haunts his dreams. With an ivory
face as soft as velvet, radiating both pure innocence and sexual seduction at
the same time, what else could she be if not an angel? His search is
interrupted when the Guardians discover the Legions latest endeavors; they’re
kidnapping unprotected women and lifemates across the world. A call goes out
and the Guardians once again implement their recruitment policy. The war is
escalating.
Raphael takes Nowaki, Jennifer’s
wolf with him to interview prospective candidates. Board with interviews he
decides to take Nowaki on a run in the forest. Taking a break from running they
stop by a near by stream. He doesn’t hear the gunshot but feels the blast as it
hits his chest and falls to his knees.
Nowaki takes off after the
assailant and gets her revenge but not until after the attacker mortally wounds
her. Jessica takes over Nowaki’s body and pulls herself back to Raphael
convinced they will die together. Lying on top of him to keep from getting
cold, she has in reality, saved his life. The blood from her wounds drips down
into his open mouth.
Jennifer along with Gabe, Thomas,
Michael and Roger arrive on the scene. Michael tells Jennifer,” he’s sorry but
Nowaki won’t make it back to the helicopter, much less the compound.” Jen, who
was visited by Chenoa the night before now knows about Jessica and Nowaki but
has yet to say anything to anyone. She shares her secret with Michael who
immediately steps in and attempts to save the wolf. They all make it back to
the where surgery is performed on both Raphael and Nowaki. Jennifer shares her
grandmother’s secrets with Alice, her best friend, and Gabe.
When Raphael wakes he demands to
go back to the forest. His Angel saved his life and no one will believe him.
Gabriel finally tells him the truth, Jessica, his angel, and Nowaki are one in
the same. The only problem is how to separate the two?
Chenoa shared a bit more with
Jennifer… They must return to the cabin where Jessica was born in California
and Jennifer must complete the ritual. Only problem is, she doesn’t know how.
She waits for her grandmother to show her what to do.
