I pulled out my phone and I dialed Margo’s number without opening up my contacts. It probably wasn’t even there to begin with. Though knowing Sage it was. But I knew it by heart. It hadn’t changed in the years I’d known her. I hadn’t been to a therapy session with Dr. Margo Silverman in…

We stepped into the villa shadow room and Francesco looked at me. “Hide the shadows here.” I nodded and let a ball of light hang against the ceiling and obscured the natural shadows of the room. “That should keep them from following.” The old vampire smiled, “Are they permanent now that you aren’t there.” “The…

The first thing we did was decided was where Valentina mostly likely was stashed during it all. The primary goal is to keep your master alive. As Sage would say it’s their prime directive. I groaned at my own thought – stupid fucking TV shows. I don’t know which one it was from, didn’t really…

We sat on the couch and I digested what Aurora had told me. It had nothing to do with the problem at hand but yet it had everything to do with my life in that moment. “So why is Valence doing this I asked?” I had to right the conversation. I didn’t want to stay…

I was thankful that the stupid bear wasn’t coming with us. It wasn’t going to go well if I had to constantly play the brawn game. Ged was living up to the redneck bumble fuck that I thought of his name when Victor introduced us. And I wasn’t really in the mood to deal with…

I got little to no sleep worrying about Sage and Dee. I was glad things were okay with Dev, but I was royally fucking up the other relationships in my life. So when night fell and Ant was knocking on my door I didn’t want to get out of bed, and Ant was kind enough…

The sun would go down in a few hours and we’d travel to Madrid, Spain where I’d meet Aurora Dejesus – the master of the vampire who Igor was certain was the mole. So I crashed in my room. On my bed which was feather soft and I pulled my phone to my ear and…

We had the rest of the day to kill. It was 8am at home so I decided I’d call Sage first, then I’d call the boys. I hoped that his dream walk into my world would help him rethink what he’d said. But I couldn’t leave it like that I loved him. And … and…

There was no fighting when we reached the villa. We found Isabel outside casting some sort of spell. She was covered in blood and both Ryan and I rushed to her side. She smiled at us, “It’s not mine. Ant bled for me.” Ryan raised his eyebrow. “His blood works to keep the villa safe.…

By the time we reached the bears strong hold there were dead vampires and bears. I could smell the burning flesh as the vampires chased some of the bears outside. A young girl and a woman sat on the side of the street trying to use their den magic to hide the scene. I threw…

The hand on my shoulder was squeezing tight as I tried to stand up. There was a hand across my mouth as I shouted. Panic over took me and the person holding me found an elbow in their gut and wrapped up in air and flung across the room to the floor in front of…

We followed Gemma into her house. I think I expected feathers and dead things and all sorts of black magic artifacts. What I found was normal ordinary things. No sign this woman was a wicca nor that she was high preistess of her coven. I was still reeling from the shit storm that had become…
