The dark brunette walked up to us, she gave me a pleasant smile but it was Ant she had eyes for. “I had a dream about you. Or I should say dreams.” Ant looked at me then back at her and he was at a loss for words. I laughed, “He’s not usually so tongue…

Sitting there thinking what to ask I knew, not sure how I knew, but the question didn’t matter. I looked back at Alex and he winked and I knew he had a story to tell. So it didn’t matter and it was a test. I came here for two reasons none of which needed a…

It turned out the New York coven wasn’t exactly in New York which made sense. Nature wielding witches weren’t going to find much magic in the city. But I had thought there was a City presence. This was one human magic we didn’t police much. And there was little reason for the Venatori to interfere…

The kids were all asleep in the other room. Alex pulled me towards our bedroom. Ant followed but he stopped at the door. “I’ll let you guys have some alone time.” Alex looked at Ant and frowned, there was tension between them and it was because of me. I sighed as I stepped inside. “What…

Everyone piled into the room. Adrian and Dom where here representing the packs. All the Dragon Clan leaders were still here from around the world. They had remained because of The Dragon’s death and to see how I handled the Last Phoenix. Which I’d done nothing with – which is why they remained. The masters…

Ryan piled on the food as the night poured on. I wasn’t tired. But Cari’s people were trickling out the door. Allison had left with Jin to make phone calls. I had another hour before they’d all be here and I was flipping through Hunter’s journal. Alec and Ryan were the only ones in the…

I ate and Doc talked. “We’ll start with the stuff I kinda sorta knew just cause I know you. You’ve dragon blood in you. Being Cesari that makes sense. But what doesn’t is that you look more like a nether-dragon than half human half Venatori that you are. The other oddity is the theranthropy mutations…

Clothes were coming off and my stomach growled painfully in my belly. Alex snickered beneath me but it wasn’t long before it was growling again. Alex sighed, “You’ve been asleep for two days. I think you should…” A yawn interrupted his words and he frowned, “eat. And I should probably catch some Zs” “I’m not…

Everyone was asleep quickly, though I wasn’t sure Alex was but since he was spooning me I couldn’t really tell. But Alex pulled me closer and I knew he was still awake listening to my rambling thoughts. Let’s go to our room. There was no hesitation as Alex unwrapped himself from me. It was more…

I grabbed Alex’s hand and headed towards the door. Alex wiggled his hand free and wrapped his arm around my waist. I was sure it was for my benefit, but I’d like to think that Alex was in a very touchy feely mood now that I was alive. Though had I really been dead. Alex…

Ryan closed the door as he left leaving me and Alex alone in the glass room meant for dead people. I’d have felt more comfortable leaving myself, but the warmth of Alex’s body pressed to mine made me stay, and stay quiet. The hug at first was stiff when I pulled the blue eyed boy…

I felt like I was falling and I landed on a cold metal table. My back was warm even though the metal felt cold when I moved and it hurt a little to move. “‘Bout fucking time you woke up,” Ryan laughed. “Everyone is driving everyone crazy. Alex is in a bottle. Ant’s destroying himself.…

I heard the gun shots before the fireball came soaring at us from the tree line. I threw up a wall of air around us so it encompassed the whole gazebo and the bullets stopped rattling through us. A few of the dragons had taken a hit, but they weren’t dragon perceiving bullets so not…

Cari and Ant both helped set up wards around the compound and that’s what Cari was calling it since it wasn’t the whole building we were fortifying, just the living spaces. We had a lot to fortify after all. If the Council was on the run, then Valence and his New World Order would be…

Random spontaneous moments like that never happened anymore. At least not without interruptions, so to find ourselves naked in bed an hour later was unprecedented. Alex was leaning against the headboard with his hands behind his head while I laid my heard across his stomach pressing tender kisses to the soft skin. “What Ryan said…

Hunter started whispering to Alex and I heard my name. “Hunter, babe, I can hear you.” He looked at me and frowned. “Go tell Alex in the other room. I know you need to talk about it, it’s okay.” “Why does it matter?” Alex asked. “I told Hunter, I didn’t want to hear his dreams…

The little ones were playing in the hallway chasing each other through the open areas. As soon as they saw me they started walking really fast instead of running. Rider was laying on the ground staring up at the ceiling while the kids piled on top of him. “Where are Lake and Matt?” I asked.…

In my room I was going to grab Alex’s pillow and actually hide in the closet until I was needed again, but when I got there a particular blond girl was sleeping curled around the same pillow. Ant stood by the window staring out. “He told her to wait here while he dealt with whatever…
