Zora's Dawn (Defender Book 1) Read Online Free PDF

she
didn’t spill hers again, she thought. Had she really seen it change into a paw?
    “Zora.”
She looked up as he said her name, and almost dropped her coffee again when she
saw the golden feline eyes looking back at her.
    “God
Powers! Don’t do that without any warning!”
    Instantly
contrite he changed back to his human eyes. “I’m sorry, I just wanted you to be
quite sure you were not dreaming or imagining things.”
    Zora felt
a wave of panic wash through her. “Powers I can’t do this, I don’t even know
what it is I am supposed to do! I’m not prepared, I’m not trained, I’m just a
human woman. What use could I be?”
     “Zora we
won’t be alone. There is a fairy coming, and a vampire. They are going to meet
with us here, and together we will come up with a plan.”
    Zora
turned huge eyes on him.  “Are you serious?? A fairy and a vampire? I
thought you said this was about werewolves, why would a vampire be coming
here?”
    “All
supernaturals come together when there is a threat. A rogue werewolf is a
threat to humans and to the balance we currently have living within your
communities.”
    Zora
stared at him, speechless. All the things he was saying, they were crazy.
Surely if the human population shared the planet with supernatural beings word
would have gotten out long before now.
    “Think
Zora, you know about werewolves, vampires and fairies. But you believe they are
myths. The human mind is very good at hiding from a scary truth. Generations of
humans have turned what is truth into a myth that has no power to destroy, only
to scare children. But be sure, they are all real.”
    Frowning,
Zora spoke her thoughts out loud, even though he probably could just read her
mind. “I don’t get it. Say I can sense a supernatural, I can stand on a crime
scene and see which werewolf it was and maybe where it is going. But what use
it that? How does that make me strong? Surely a vampire can just suck it dry?
And what about other werewolves, can’t one of them rip out its throat?”
    Powers
smiled a little at the mental images her words conjured up. “Zora there are
rules within the supernatural community, however a rogue falls outside of those
rules. Nowadays once a rogue does something like this the supernatural
community has a duty to deal with the problem. But a long time ago this was not
the case; each species dealt with its rogue members as it saw fit. However
there was a large human toll with that approach and the fairies especially
wanted to address this issue. That is why the fairies bespelled the human
families, so that within your species you also have people capable of dealing
with the rogues.
    These days
the supernatural community is more proactive and we band together to deal with
the more difficult rogues such as we fear this one is. The defenders work with
us because your abilities are very valuable. You can do more than just sense
the werewolf, you can track it.”
    Zora
snorted at this, and rolled her eyes mentally at that idea. “I don’t think so
Powers, I can’t even find my way across town without using Google Maps, and I
always lose my car in the carpark. How on earth can I track a werewolf?”
    Smiling a
bigger smile, Powers continued, “Fortunately it is a different sense to your
sense of direction! Once the others get here we will discuss the best way to go
after the rogue.”
    “We? Me?
Travel with a shapeshifter, a fairy and a vampire? And hey, why isn’t there a
werewolf?”
    “We are
going to go to other crime scenes, we need to learn as much as we can about
this particular rogue. We believe that this is a dangerous situation that must
be dealt with swiftly. One of the werewolf leaders will meet us at the first place,
he lives there.”
    “But why
do you all need me? All I can do is tell you it was a werewolf, and you already
know that.”
    “Well
there is another ability that you have Zora. Did you ever wonder what your name
means?” At the shake of her head he
