The darkness was cold and harsh, but soon it gave way to something warm and bright and I looked around seeing things that were beyond extraordinary. The darkness before was full of pain, like my whole body had fallen asleep and the pins and needles enveloped my whole being. But here in this strange landscape there was nothing but peace as…

After the Mayor meeting with Geb was easy. He knew what was going on. I started spelling some metal and once we got the hang of it and the spells took when someone else drew the runes I left. it was all well and good but it was time to make lunch. Griffin followed me…

Our mornings were all pretty much the same. Except this morning everyone was busy packing while I made breakfast and ate alone. Rider and Ryan were taking care of most of the things around the house. Which wasn’t bad in and of itself but it left very little for me to do in most cases.…

Two days after the attack on the Night Life building against my family by an unknown assailant sent by Poet we planned to move into a new building — a building where we controlled all the security. A building that was ours. Alex had purchased it when he was looking for places for his new club. A…

There was a lot more people in the small room than we had anticipated. Ant did the bodyguard thing and pushed away out of the crowd that had joined us in the flight to our home to save my, our family. I didn’t know most of them, but they waited for the core of us to…

Alex laughed, “You didn’t even need us.” “I did.” I said with the stone still in my hand and blood all over the front of me for the second time that day. As I came near Alex’s eyes grew wider. “It’s brighter.” He said. I handed the stone to Alex and he took it hesitantly, watching it…

The room on the other side of the doors was large room with a oval table in the middle. At the head of the table was an ornate chair, and an balding man with grey hair and a pattern so weak in the elements I almost laughed sat with his fingers steepled in front of…

A man with blue eyes and tanned skin looked out pointing a gun. He looked sad and reserved and my heart sank. I reached forward and took the gun from Emilio Vega’s hand. He didn’t resist. “I won’t hurt you.” I said. He frowned. “They know that.” His body reacted and his hand was on…

Outside on the streets of New York City humans didn’t know about the war going on between supernatural races. They didn’t know about vampires and their bloodlines. They didn’t know about the various therian packs around the world much less the types of therians there were – bears, lions, wolves and almost every predator known to man. Maybe…

I was finishing my lunch. Alex was watching me, “You can eat knowing you are going to fight later?” “I’m hungry. And since I’m now tied to a plethora of different magics I need to eat. One of the voices in my head keeps telling to eat and I’m pretty sure I should listen.” “He talks too much.” Alex laughed, “Eddie reminds me…

Darwynn growled. I rummaged in a cabinet the kids didn’t usually look, it wasn’t where we kept any of the sugared stuff. I had some granola, and some dried fruits, which really only Rider ate. He knew where it was but no one else really cared for it. I poured a portion of granola and dumped some of the dry…

Vin spoke to Allison quietly in the hall while he stared on watching us. He answered the door and ushered the pizza delivery guy in roughly with his voice and he left with a nice tip as Rider came to handle things better. The older vampire wasn’t a people person obviously. We continued to discuss our plans…

We took the elevator up stairs, I pressed myself against Alex and Alec politely ignored us. Not that we didn’t behave, but we were both in that state of need where we really should be alone for a while just to make sure we were both alright. Alex whispered, “I’m alright if you are pretty…

Jin didn’t try to escape, not that she could anyway I dragged her along bound in air. We took the stairs. Even Griffin didn’t mind the 55 plus flights of stairs going down. I’d never subject that to a human. As if Griffin would read my mind, “You should make Alex does these with you now that…

But I took the time for me. And a little for Alex. He was Chevalier now, his wounds healed faster and with my help they healed even faster. He just sort of stared in awe as the cuts on his fists healed with in seconds. Though they had already started and the bruises had already started…
-
I curled up around Alex’s pillow and tried to gather my senses as I stared at the ceiling. It was getting late and time was worrying me. But I had other things to deal with at the moment. The elements shifted and scattered around me. The sounds around me numbed my skull. At least the smells…

The world felt so much smaller than it did ten minutes ago. Eddie sat in front of me purring while Alec scratched behind his ears. “Nox.” I looked up at Alec, “Wasn’t this a girl before?” I nodded. “How do cats spontaneously change sex?” I took a deep breath and steady myself as I sat…
-
I woke up with a cat sitting on my chest. “Hey Fee.” I said. “You saying good-bye?” I ran my fingers over her stiff coat. “I’m going to miss you.” She purred under my fingers and nuzzled against my hand. “Be at peace, girl.” I said sitting up and holding the strange cat to my chest. …

Alex winked out of my dream and left me alone with the building fury. But alone won out and I fell into darkness and the world around me reflected that with a rumble of thunder in the distance. I was a reflection of the landscape, darkening and threatening rain… A throat cleared above me sitting on a limb, before…
-
I drifted into sleep and woke to the strange sky with stars and sun leaning against the tree that shifted and changed as you looked at it. I was alone. Alex was gone, he probably felt me in my dream. _I’m okay._ I thought to myself, but more for Alex. If he were listening I was okay. Asleep…

It wasn’t our usual room. It smelled wrong, but I followed Alex to the bathroom attached. He pulled me inside and turned on the water to the shower overhead in the bath tub. I felt the steam pressing against my skin. “That’s gonna be too hot.” I looked at Alex and he blinked at me…
