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 asked. “Last night in a meeting. It was Margo’s suggestion.” … Continue reading Mandatory Vacation

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 painted by my loving little brothers. They’d actually done a … Continue reading The Dragon Heads

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.

The third was Matthew Haskins – headmaster to the Academy. What the fuck was he doing here? The viking … Continue reading The Call of the Dragon

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 plate number as it rolled through the doors. I pulled … Continue reading To the Docks

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 was in his limo heading someplace. Sage spoke in my … Continue reading Following The Dragon
