I ended up paying too much for a trinket. It was a jeweled egg, there were plenty of other jeweled eggs, apparently Kate had collected them, but this one reminded me of Kate. Janice told me this one was the last one she had purchased before she passed, and that it had represented her love…
-
I followed Kate’s daughter around for two weeks listening to her thoughts, watching her habits. I had my hacker bug her phone and gather whatever social media presence she had. Then with all that intel I knew what she wanted and needed to get my biggest reward. I rented an apartment above the Lincoln Center,…

New York City’s skyline came into view over the horizon but disappeared as the Lincoln tunnel entryway dipped below the ground. I’d been staring at the city wishing the weather was warmer so I could have the top down. Driving Serenity in the winter was not my favorite thing to do, but I had a…

I went home and took a shower. I needed the stench of bar off my skin. And pretty boy’s friend too. The whole thing was wrong – felt wrong. What kinda friend was this prick? When I crawled into bed I was more than eager to talk to my pretty boy. I curled up with…

We hadn’t set a specific time. We probably should have when we last talked but by the time I thought about it the day had come and I was actually nervous. I surprised myself when I woke up feeling a bit nauseous. But a good run had fixed it and I didn’t worry about it.…

Power. Food. Feed. Sleep. Can’t wait! Been too long! Stupid vampires! It paced in the planes waiting. Back and forth. Want. Need. In the distance children screamed and a it shuddered. The bliss, the food. It was almost tempted to go find it. But he was waiting. Master wanted him. Wanted his food. So strong.…
-
I felt that pull. A slight tingling sensation all throughout my body. I tickled deep within and I knew he was calling me. He’d been doing that more and more. Except those two weeks. I didn’t want to think about them. I’d felt desperate. And I am not a desperate man. I told myself it…
-
The last two times my pretty boy called I was in the middle of things. I couldn’t get into my trance while I was driving to my next hot spot. I could have pulled over but I was in the middle of rush hour traffic and it wasn’t feasible. The second time I was in…
-
Tall. Handsome. He clutched my treasure box to his chest. There was nothing childish about the gesture or the pose he had. Was more like he’d leaned against the wall and fell asleep and just woke up. I wondered what he looked like in the real world. I knew what he felt like, but I…

June 21st, 2011. It had taken me forteen years to get a location out of him. And somehow I knew that was a temporary location. He had the speech of someone who had lived in New York City a long time. He spoke fast, his accent was clearly from that region. I hadn’t gone back…
-
Solomon’s funeral was like nothing I’d ever been to. I knew there were a lot of Native American traditions that didn’t translate well, but this was something special. I can’t even begin to describe it. Kish was rightfully sad, so was I. He was an old man, but still it was sad to lose such…
-
There was always something that pulled me into the dreams. And it was always hard sensation to fight. I’d learned over the years that this tingling sensation I felt was pulling to the dream. To a specific dream – the little boy who was a monster. He built towers out of blocks and smashed them…
-
I stood in the hallway for much too long thinking. I only knew it was too long because Dorian found me standing there. He was smirking when I noticed him, “How long have you been standing there?” “About five minutes, give or take a few seconds.” Dorian answered. “I take it Reginald told you?” I…

I walked to the AU building and was still 35 minutes early. The big official conference room was in a more public area. I was wearing a pair of faded blue jeans, a plain t-shirt for once and my gray hoodie. My hair was still dyed the color of Alex’s eyes, and my nails were…
-
By the time I finished the paperwork for Naomi, Emerson and the Dragon, conveniently leaving out Trix, Val and the baby vamp who were all colluding with Ye Pan. I couldn’t forget that Matthew Haskins was there with The Dragon, or the the viking looking fellow who had the strange magic. I made a note…
-
The little red laser lights stayed steady over the sensitive areas of my body – my heart, my head and one playfully danced at my groin. I knew exactly who that was and Walker smirked as I looked at him with a sideways grin. It was my father who stepped between me and the lights…
-
I dropped the veil as I stepped inside the room. I knew two of the faces. “One was Ye Pan, the man I’d followed, the second I didn’t know but he was from the second car that had followed Ye Pan into the building, the viking. The third was Matthew Haskins – headmaster to the…

I followed the little dot on my phone back to the dock district and watched as his limo pulled into the warehouse Sage had said he was in. A second car followed him in from the other direction and I wondered who it was. I wished for Dorian’s memory and tried to catch the license…
-
I headed in the direction of the River. I didn’t see directions yet. But eventually I looked at my phone where Sage had a map with a glowing dot blinking at me. My best friend was so helpful. I should get him in on this more often. He wasn’t at a warehouse any longer, he…
-
“Sage, you there man?” I said into my headset without thinking if I looked crazy or not. “Yeah. What’s up Nox?” “You need me down there?” I asked. “Nah, food arrived Trix is flying through the Dragon’s firewalls. She’s trying to get at his schedule, and his business locations that aren’t on public record. I’m…

As I headed down to the Infirmary, I sent a call to the cafeteria. The same guy picked up who answered the last time. “How can I help you?” “I need a pizza, some chocolate bars and mountain dew sent to the fish bowl.” “Nox?” I laughed at the response. “Yeah, it’s me again.” “Are…
