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 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.  …

The primeval vampires with us escorted all the bad guys with Valence to the cells in the basement of the Night Life building – vampire, human, wiccan, and therian alike. Most of them were still sleeping off the effects of the magic. I gave out drawings of runes. The rune was the power, if done…

The theatrics were over and we walked into the chruch. Vin and Ant both hesitated at the threshold for a moment before their faith in me kicked back in. Doubt was a powerful thing, and with magic it could eat you alive. It was strangely comforting that the church used wiccan magics to make their…

I left Alex with a long drawn out kiss. Vin, Jae and Seraph followed me through the halls. “Only three body guards?” Vin laughed, “Ryan and Ant are coming with. Francesco and Tony are leading the vampires through the tunnels with Bernstein. Dom and Adrian are working together to coordinate the top side.” “Where exactly…

Alex and I just stood there holding on to each other. He pulled away from me first and held me at arms length. “You should go put some eye liner on.” I lifted my hand to show Alex how badly I was shaking. “Probably not a good idea.” Alex turned my hand around, then the…

I don’t know how long I was in the closet before Ryan opened the door and pulled me from the blankets. I had long since cried myself out the power had died down and I felt numb to it all. “Come on, let’s eat. I have some grilled chicken and some roasted vegetables just the…

I replaced the sadness with anger and the anger with fury. She kidnapped my family. That was all that mattered. There were all manner of vampire here. Deep down I knew I couldn’t kill them all. So when the first one burst out of his room to see why there was so much power flooding…

The V&M building was much like the rest of the buildings in New York. We didn’t stop at a reception desk as we went up to the top floor. The woman at the front desk gave me a little wave and I promised to bring Stacey a few left overs the next time I was…

That had to be the last straw for Alex he stopped and pushed me up against the wall and glared at me so hard. It wasn’t violence he was looking for, it was face to face and me to sit still. I knew it, I felt it. He was angry. I was angry and it…

Hunter stayed curled up in my lap, Rider ate his ice-cream he was an immovable object wrapped around me, so when the other kids left he stayed right there holding on to me. I’ll take him when I go to join them. Alex reassured me. I gave him a happy smile and wrapped my arm…

The four of us left the mess for someone else to clean up. I magicked all of us clean since no shower was in our immediate future. Ryan chuckled, “He’s handy to have around.” Alex laughed, “You have no idea.” None of us blushed had we had Sage he probably would have at the innuendo.…

Ryan walked me back to the Night Life building. The wonderful thing about Ryan and Ant is they could keep up with me. Their own training had given them the stamina and speed to run all of the Night Life building too. We’d done it many times and I didn’t have to deal with my…

The house was clear. We found some plans. And before we left the building was in flames. Ryan came with us as we walked back to the Night Life building. Everyone else disperser to the winds. No one really stayed with us other than my body guards. “If I have body guards, how come you…

We pushed through the front door in a single file line but the guns were blocked as we moved. I looked sort of out of place without a gun. But I didn’t really need one. I was defense. I could offense but I was more than happy to be the shield. I was good at…

It was time to do my job. And this time Alex and Ant were coming with me. So were a lot of other people but Alex was by my side, and there was no fucking way I was letting him out of my sight. And I knew he wasn’t going to let me go either.…

It was a quickie. And there really wasn’t time for a shower. Though if we’d started in the shower that might have been a good idea. But Alex was smirking, “You smell fine.” “To you.” I said. “To vampires and therians I’m going to smell like sex.” “So will I. It’s not exactly a secret…

Alex walked me to our room. But I didn’t want him to leave. I held his hand even though he’d covered me up and pressed a kiss to my temple. “Nox, I’m not going anywhere.” “I know,” I said. “Then let go.” He laughed like it was funny, but I couldn’t. I didn’t want him…

The group distracted me from the problem. Talking about other things. Adrian bringing up old friends. Ryan talking about movies he wanted to see. Valentina offered to babysit the children while we did things – me and Alex. She said she had always wanted children, but had become a vampire to save her own life…

So I fueled my protector and love and tried not to focus on the reason that I was so fucking hungry. But no matter how much I ate my body didn’t like the draw of power. Adrian was the first to arrive. “Good he found you.” He looked at me and frowned, “Why are you…

We weren’t even close to the entrance when Tony and Ryan showed up from the shadows. “If they took her instead of killed her they are in for a treat.” Tony said. “Trust Tony. If not you’ll be puking on the other side.” I said as I grabbed the two body guards and Liam was…
