Tag: The Power of Succession v2

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…

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…

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…

It was still several hours before the sun went down and Vin found me in my room as I hung up the phone with Adrian.  “You wanted to talk boss?” “Your security checks you are doing on everyone?” Vin gave me a long slow nod.  “Yeeeeaaahh.” “Where are you at with it?” Vin sighed, “Honestly.”…

My laptop had sat unused for a few days on the table in our room. It wasn’t a desk, and Alex had very few personal belongings here himself. Not that he had much at his apartment but even though we were mystically married I had a feeling we’d always have two separate homes. No matter how much room I…

Home was easy once everyone was packed and the house closed up for the summer. At least that’s how it’d look to the rest of the people out in the Hamptons. We’d probably be back but you never knew. And with my new so-called position I didn’t really know much of anything anymore. Ant shadow walked us all home and the kids fell…

We had dinner and Rider took all the kids, and wolves too with him.  Seraph went with them though she looked back and me pleading not to have to spend time with them.  But she went.  And Rider had proven that he was an Alpha to everyone.  He commanded, the little ones follow.  He was…

Griffin and I were getting along so much better after I put him on the ground.  I wasn’t the pansy he thought I was.  Though his thoughts betrayed him, he was waiting for the con to be up.  And while I was well aware of how this all started with Alex, we were past it.…

I stood up and Alex didn’t hide it while he watched me move elegantly up.  He smirked when I offered him a hand up.  He took me up on the offer and I pulled him up with ease.  And he made me work for it too. He sighed, “I don’t think I’ll ever be as…
