Werewolves Rule (The Rule Series) Read Online Free PDF

discussed literature on a regular basis.   It was damn near impossible.   The man had almost strangled him to death.   His mind was cluttered with warring voices, and he was having trouble thinking clearly.   “Umm…it was interesting.”
    Jersey rolled his eyes and snorted.   “Interesting?   I could get that kind of response from half the student body at Jefferson Memorial.   You can do better than that.   Tell me what you thought about the running theme of reincarnation.”
    “Honestly I don’t buy it.   We live once and die.   End of story.”
    “Go on.”
    Jack quickly leafed through the book in his mind, summoning every major plot point he could remember.   It was hard to think with Jersey scowling at him.   Even the title slipped his mind.   It was something like The Majabarata … Mahabarata …whatever.   The book followed five brothers on a quest.   At least one of them, the main character, had lived before.  
    “There was this one scene where the main character was walking on the beach and talking to a god he had known in various lifetimes.   They had been best friends, but the memories were lost to him.”
    Jersey’s eyes danced with excitement.   “Yes!   When you were reading it, did you notice anything familiar about these two men?   Did they remind you of anyone?”
    They hadn’t.
    “Is that why you wanted me to read it?   Are you trying to say you believe we knew each other in another lifetime?”
    “Doesn’t matter.”   Jersey dismissed the idea with a flick of his hand.   “Back to the book.   What did you think about the major part destiny played in the story?”
    Jack worked hard not to roll his eyes.   “You know I don’t believe in that garb… stuff.”
    “Stubborn.   You are the most stubborn human I have ever met.”   Jersey was worked up now.   His voice raised a few decibels, and he gestured wildly with his hands as he spoke.   “Destiny is a real thing.   It locks us in chains, but it can be fooled on occasion.   We can fool it now if you would simply learn to cooperate with me.   Open your mind to the possibility of us working together.”
    “What are you suggesting?”   Jack folded arms over his chest, not liking the detour the conversation had taken.  
    “Join me.”   Jersey’s voice lowered, becoming seductive in nature.   His smile was crooked, lazy now, but Jack wasn’t fooled.  
    The story of Adam and Eve sprang to mind.   He could picture Jersey dressed like a beautiful snake in the garden, tempting Eve to take a bite of the forbidden fruit.   Jersey had told Jack that he thought he was an angel.   Of course it wasn’t true.   Jersey had lost his mind after killing his wife.   But if it had been true, Jersey would have been a fallen angel, maybe even the devil himself.
    “Join me or die.”   Jersey added a quote from Shelley.   “With plough and spade, and hoe and loom, trace your grave, and build your tomb.”
    “There’s a third option,” Jack said.   “Our side could win, and you could die.”
    Jersey held a hand out.   “Don’t be a fool, Jack.   Join me.   Now.”

    ******

    Jack’s eyes snapped open.   He was safe, back in the living room and on the sofa.   It took him a few minutes to lose the disoriented feeling that came with visiting the dream world.   An obnoxious rock song echoed in his ears.   It was his cell phone.   He jumped up, following the music to its origin.   The Caller ID told him Silver was on the other end.
    He smiled as he pushed the green button.   “Thanks for waking me.   You have no idea how great your timing is.”
    “What happened after I left?”
    He hesitated.   The truth was on the tip of his tongue.   If he told her about Jersey, about his threats, she might be afraid to join him in his dreams.   Jersey had warned him that he could visit them any time he wanted.   Silver wouldn’t like that.   A little voice screamed at him to tell her anyway.   By hiding
