The Werewolf Whisperer Read Online Free

none of us are entirely sure what happens to Mani when they die.”
    “So no one knows where they go when they disappear?” I asked.
    “There are rumors the same way there are with mortals. There are tales of an afterlife: Mani given a second chance, a rebirth, even a chance at being mortal again. But there are not enough facts about it. No one really knows what happens for sure.”
    “So, when a vampire dies, they just disappear?”
    “Yes. Otherwise there would be dead vampires everywhere. By now humans would have had a field day on the autopsies.”
    “Is that what happened to Tommy. Is that what happens to the Carni?”
    “Actually, no. The Carni are as close to humans as you can get. Mani history goes back as far as 10,000 years ago. While Carni history is 500 years young.”
    “How’s that?” I had been under the impression that werewolves and vampires were manifested at the same time.
    “Mani believe that Carni are an inferior species. Werewolves believe in a lot of myth and untruths.”
    “Why do they do that?”
    “It’s a way to justify giant mistakes they have made so they can be at peace with it.” Lena’s soft voice filled the room. I could see her desperately trying to answer my questions when she had questions of her own.
    “I know about wanting to feel a sense of peace. For two weeks I’ve tried to find my inner peace.”
    Her lips twitched into a semi-smile. I listened and she continued.   “The blurring lines of truths and fiction have forced them to live so far outside the Triat’s will. Mani believe that Carni have forgotten what their purpose is and they are no better than savages.”
    “Purpose… I’ve been trying to figure that one out for two weeks. What is our purpose, Lena?”
    Well, you were chosen by the Triat even before you were a Mani. Josiah, there is something greater out there – something amazing.
    “What was amazing was my other life; my human life.”
    “Yeah but think about it this way, we are wiser than the average living species. We have a window to the world. People live and then die, and in the course of living, they know nothing. Perfect ignorant bliss.” She smiled at me.
    “You have a way of making this sound . . . almost glamorous.”
    “Maybe it is glamorous Josiah. You’ve been given a gift. Don’t turn your back on the possibilities.
    “Can I ask you a question?”
    “Of course.”
    I needed to know more about werewolves, and unfortunately, I needed to know about them fast. “Do Carni become stronger once they are turned from Tandra to Carni?”
    Lena thought for a moment. “Not like the Mani,” she said.                     “They might get a tad stronger and quicker, but nothing close to what occurs in a Mani’s body after its transformation.
    “Mani become much stronger?” I asked.
    “Put it this way Josiah, I could barely hurt a mouse when I was mortal. The other night I was holding that frat boy Ronnie down like he was a kindergartner.”
    I laughed. “So, I basically turned you into a bad ass.”
    Lena shook her head at me. “Yeah you did Josiah Reign, and never forget that.”  Lena then smiled brightly at me. It was the first time in a long time I had seen her smile like that.  She was radiant.  She had little dimples and frankly, my heart melted.
    “So what happens when they turn into a full blown werewolf?” I asked.
    Lena’s smile turned serious. “When a Carni turns into a werewolf it can hold its own against a Mani.  Most of the time they are stronger. But Mani can fight with cognitive thought. While werewolves are like wild lions that just want to tear through their prey.  There’s not much thought to it.”
    “What about the full moon? Is that a myth, or is it real?”
    “Oh it’s real.  Too real.  It is then, and only then, they turn from Carni to werewolf.”
    “So your everyday Carni, walking around is just slightly stronger than a human?”
    “Yup.” Lena stared at me with wonder.
