  • I’m no Hero

    I woke up with a smile and more. I rolled on to my back and saw Ryan still sleeping. I thanked my good fortune and crawled out of bed to change into something else. As I pulled my boxers up I heard Ryan start awake in the bed behind me. His voice was tired as…

  • Dreaming of You

    I made it to my bedroom and I crawled into bed. I heard Ryan standing guard on the other side. “Ry.” I called out. He stuck his head in and I nodded, “Sleep. You can’t be awake all day either.” He shook his head. “I’m Chevalier. I can manage.” I smiled. “Please. I’d rather have…

  • Brandon Holt

    Francesco was still awake when I left the library. I would go check it out again later. The idea that no one else saw it intrigued me, what was Cari hiding. He was sitting at the bar when I walked into the kitchen. Ryan started making a cup of coffee. “Black right?” I nodded. “Yes…

  • Red Dragons

    Ryan and I were lounging in my room while we waited. I don’ t know what we were waiting for. Some epiphany or some thing else to happen. Valentina’s people were trickling in and we we had a border watch. But things were tenuous at best. We had to figure out what to do with…

  • Dragon Call

    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…

  • The Frying Pan

    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…

  • Into Danger

    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…

  • Shadow Walkers

    Now that I knew who the man was I could keep him out of my head. Keep him from overpowering me. Alec Moretti was the master of the Dominion line. One that scared the living fuck out of me. Auspex and Dream-walking were the only other ones that scared me. Everything else I could handle.…

  • The Real Problem

    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…

  • Finding My Self

    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…

  • Stupid Bear

    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…

  • My Rockstar

    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…

  • Long Distance

    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…

  • Regrouping

    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.…

  • Stronghold

    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…

  • Rude Awakening

    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…

  • Fucking Magic

    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…

  • Heritage

    The house looked like a normal Itallian house at least every one on the street. But it felt so much different. Ant walked across the line of the rod iron gate but Vincent stopped just before crossing the invisible line. I felt the shiver of magic as I crossed. I looked at the newest vampire.…

  • Off Color

    Life was one fucking metaphysical bombshell after another. I was five when the first one destroyed my world. Thankfully not all of them were life destroying. But knowing that Cari thought I was some prophecized Ascendant made me a little worried. Some all knowing thing made my life this shit pool of disasters after disaster…

  • Prophecy

    Igor Bianchi lived in a small house near Damian’s establishment. I felt wrong calling it a whore house. Those souls fed a vampire for hundreds of years and he never had to bit his victims. Damian I had learned fed his minions this way. He kept his line small and mostly in Rome, though there…

  • Magic All Around

    I woke with a lonely feeling and sadness. But I was warm and dry despite the soaking rain in my head. But a shiver ran through my body as I sat up. A snore drew my attention to the side and I saw Ryan dozing in the chair by my bed. I kicked it gently…
