I wasn’t quite under her spell. It hurt more than anything I’d actually ever felt from a vampire bite. It was the only thing that kept me from getting swept away in the lust and power drain. I thought at her as she drank down my life in furious gulps. Stop! I was feeling lightheaded.…

My heart was in my throat the whole time up the elevator and not for the normal reason. The door dinged open and all was quiet. I felt the hum of energy even closer than before. But that was the only sound I heard, it was like a gnat buzzing in my ear. Ant’s hand…
-
Ant followed a few steps behind me until we were in the streets of the city. The night sky was shining on us. The moon just a sliver in the sky. There were no stars in the sky. I missed the stars. It was really the only thing I had missed about my childhood. The…

Bernstein was going to go through other channels. I had my own to go through, magical ones. There were still plenty of vampire powers to rule out. I knew what Desmond felt like. And I knew that the Night Life building was teaming with new Vampire powers. I knew Armand. I could feel him inside…
-
We followed through the tunnels to the vampire we saught. Or so we thought. Problem with not understanding my magic, I didn’t know what we were coming up on when we got there. I felt old, strong, vampire magic but as we moved through the tunnels I felt other vampires, more magic. I stopped and…
-
Once in the tunnels everyone’s vision adjusted to the darkness. If I’d been with other Venatori I would have created a light, but I was pretty sure Ryan and I were just fine. I didn’t know who we were going to meet down in the subway tunnels but I had a feeling. Gauging from the…
-
Ant I met Cari and Ryan down in the lobby of the Night Life building. They were with a small Asian woman wearing smart business like attire. I wondered who she was. I didn’t feel any magic from her so she wasn’t supernatural. When Ant and I joined them. Ryan smiled at me. “Jin, this…

Before we could leave, Sage called my name. “Wait, Nox.” I stopped on the other side of the door, Ged and Vincent between me and Sage. “You can’t leave looking like that.” “Like what?” Dev giggled. “I think he means normal.” Sage nodded and grinned at Dev. “This isn’t the super hero I met. I…
-
Isabel, Ged and Vincent walked past us and into the apartment. Ant spoke quietly, “We need to get you all inside.” Matt picked up Drake and took Fae’s hand and dragged them inside. Dee pulled Sage along and Dev was holding my hand but he seemed a little more shaken than before. Once we were…
-
It was midnight when we walked into Cari’s apartment shadow room. There was a man standing guard at the front door. I didn’t know him, but Ant and Ryan didn’t seem disturbed so I let it be. They didn’t even greet the man, just walked past him. I followed them, Isabel, Ged and Vincent followed…
-
Ryan was finishing packing up my things. He had laid out a fresh set of clothes on the bed. “You don’t seem too particular.” He said as he glanced down at the sheet wrapped around me. “I mean you’ve been walking around with just a sheet on for a while now. Funny thing is, no…
-
Ryan lead me to the kitchen. He walked around the island and sat me down at the island and pushed a plate of bacon at me. “We just finished dinner.” “You had bacon for dinner?” I asked. “Ant like breakfast when he wakes up so dinner is always breakfast.” Ryan pulled out other breakfast foods…
-
I woke gasping for air. My lungs felt like they were on fire and I shot upright. A sheet that had been covering my face slide down to my waist leaving me bare-chested. I felt goose bumps all over my skin as I realized I was lying naked on a metal table. Where the fuck…
-
I flitted between images of my life after that. I saw Sage and Adam sitting at their computers chatting with one another. Sage’s screen was flooded with my name. Pictures of me, documents. He and Adam were pointing at things they saw on the screen. Sage looked in my direction. Adam called his attention back…
-
There was darkness everywhere. Pain was at the distance peripheral and then that too became mind numbingly dull. Until everything was just darkness. There was this sense of loss. A sense of fear and anger and hate. Oblivion set in and the world around me started to shift. Color faded in like a rising sun.…
-
The deeper we went into the tunnels the darker it felt like it got and the harder it was to breathe. Ryan’s hand was on the hilt of his hidden sword. Ant’s was too. I found it odd that these two big bad warriors favored melee weapons to their guns, I knew they had. They…
-
There was no point in wasting daylight – or rather night light? But that doesn’t sound as good. I had a bad ass vampire and a Chevalier here with me, plus a bear and another vampire and a wicca who I wasn’t exactly sure was fighting capable. So maybe Isabel was a liability, but maybe…
-
Eloise lead us to an office down the hall. We got several students stopping to stare and she would rush them off. I mean it wasn’t everyday you saw vampires and werebears and witches walking down your hallways. Eloise spoke interrupting my thoughts. “It’s not the vampires and therians and wicca that are causing them…
-
We were outside the church that was not a church doors. This time Vincent didn’t have a problem walking on to sacred ground. I looked at him and he blushed. “Demonic churches don’t count?” I asked. Vincent laughed. “It’s not a church just looks like one. It’s a Venatori school and not on sacred ground.”…
-
Ryan and I waited for night to fall. My mind was kept busy with all the wondering about what Eloise Dean wanted with me. Specifically what favor she wanted. It probably wasn’t even a favor. Probably a reprimand for getting involved in Supernatural affairs when I shouldn’t be. When Night fell Ryan and I were…
-
There was a few more awkward moments in the room Ryan had dragged me off into to tell me the secret of a true Chevalier. It was the death magic that bound them together. I wasn’t sure I wanted to be bound by death to a vampire, even one who was a good friend. I…
