LOGINI looked back at the book. "But why? It's too dangerous....if it's even true."
Theo's brow furrowed "What do you mean, Red? What kind of dark magic?" I scowled at the nickname I'd asked to be called in a delirious episode earlier when Theo had played with my hair. He gave a small, but tight, smirk at my expression.I hesitate, unsure how to word the paragraph I read without sounding insane."It's in the temple of Cthulhu. The peShe went back to Seb. Sonya gave another giggle, turning to Rose. "Thank you, now," she crossed her arms over her white coat. "What're you doing with my patient?" Rose was trying to move Seb, roll him from what it looks like. "I have a suspicion." Was all she said, struggling for a moment longer before she sighed and stepped back. Raising her hand at Seb, she spoke the Wiccan word for control...I think...and Seb moved like a puppet on a string. His eyes still closed, he sat up, leaning forward and his head lulled. Sonya gave me a sideways glance. "Is she always so-""Sneaky?" I offered. Sonya chuckled, nodding. "Glad it's not just to the Fey." I crossed my arms as we watched Rose remove the parts of clothing on Seb's good side, her eyes narrowing. "Fucker." She growled suddenly. She moved before I could stop her.She was on the bed, kneeling behind Sebastian, her arms locking in a familiar hold Theo had taught her
XavierI don't know what she said to those Burhounds, but fuck. I gaped mentally to the others, looking across the polished stone wide hallways of the now completed underground facility. I heard Theo chuckle back, seeing Rose walking ahead of me with determination in her step as we made our way from the housing ward to medical. Her fiery copper hair bounced with each step, loose and wild waves rippling down her slender back nearly to her full hips, the ashen streak pushed back with a headband she pulled on when we'd come back down to the Bunker after the Triad had left to put out the fires and evacuate the Pack. She'd made me wait in the Portal room, disappearing behind one of the doors before I could stop her. There were three Burhounds she'd wrangled to build the place, all of them had been working for five days now, they weren't m
The sun was starting to set. Dane and Theo still weren't back. I paced in the control room, the shields drawn back so I could see the portal. They should have been back by now. They're probably just having fun. Xavier soothed from upstairs in the kitchen, making dinner for the families who'd stopped by with the kids. Mostly because Thena had told Marilyn and Paige about Gabriel and Abe. Now, they were all in the library drinking, while the kids watched the tv in the loungeroom den and Xav stayed close by. Then why aren't they responding to any communications? I snapped back at him, turning on my toes to start another loop of the room.Stop pacing, Tiny. I can hear the stomping from here. The elevator buttons lit up, turning my focus to the camera systems. I rolled my eyes and threw myself into the chair with my back to Xavier as he came in. "You're going to start overthinking." He rubbed my shoulde
Of the twelve clones that had been sent to Atlantia, I knew every single one of them. Each held a memory when I saw their faces, memories that almost made my rage unbearable. Among them was Jordon's parents, disguised as Theo and myself. I had to leave the... negotiations up to the others. Gwen, Dane and Theo were dealing with the last group, the one who'd had a Gabriel clone, though the man behind it I didn't recognise. Gabriel had sent Naomi and Oliver to see if they could help. I'd given them both runes instead of stones, that would only active when they were in the presence of a stone-holder. Something some of the Triad disagreed with, they believed more than the five of us should have access.I was still refusing. The stones put a target on anyone wearing them, but they refused to let it go.Thena and Henry had been at our door at dawn, Kaiden asleep in a carrier and Stacey barely awake.I set them up in the lounger
They knew of him, knew he was one of my mates and they accepted that. But, seeing a Vampire was still an unsettling sight to Shifters. To anyone really. Gabriel gave them a kind smile, looking across the table and spotting the alcohol.His smile turned on Henry. I saw the Wolf rise for a moment at the fangs. Gabriel took my glass and moved to sit between Xavier and Henry, raising his glass to Henry. "How do you find it?" He smiled.Henry blinked, his tension faltering as his hand fell around his own glass.He raised it, taking a sip before answering. "It's pretty good." Henry said in a strained but polite voice. Abe was stretching dramatically behind us, grunting as he stepped, well more stumbled, to the table."What's all this, then?" He waved a finger across the table. Gabriel smirk, summoning another chair between him and Xavier, and two more glasses in front of them.Xav flicked his glass away. "I'm not apa
I turned, my heart racing and raising my hand to stop it, but stopped.Gabriel sat in the sofa chair in the corner, his shadow dropped as he gave a disappointed sigh, my eyes fell to the arrow caught in hand.Stopping it just before his heart. Gabriel's eyes locked onto Abe's, his gaze cold and unforgiving. "Abe," he clipped. "I'd like it, just once, for you to not attack me in my own home." Abe sneered, but a twinkle flicked in his eyes looking at Gabriel as he rose. "Dracula, you're as slippery as a snake's hind legs. But I'll get you one of these days."Gabriel looked at the arrow for a moment, rising to his feet then the crossbow Abe lowered into a side holster where it hung under his cloak. Gabriel scoffed, shadowing the arrow into the quiver on Abe's other hip, and slipped his hands into his pocket with a bored expression. "Still using outdated weapons, I see." Abe shrugged, his mouth twisti
Dane's tongue tangled with mine, his hands wrapping my thighs and he lifted me, my legs circling instantly around his waist. I found myself melting into him, a soft moan in my throat and my fingers slid through his thick curls, gripping him to me. "Were you a good girl for Xavier?" He rumbled
Dane rolled his eyes. "Can't even have a night off." He grumbled. Theo slid off the counter, sighing. "Not this close to finals." He muttered, they both kissed me, pulling me against them each before they both kisses into the bruises they'd left on me at the same time. My legs spread, Theo's h
looked across the shopping cart Xavier pushed, my mouth twisting. He looked down at me, chuckling. "Don't even try it." He sang at me. I pouted. "But...it's so much." I looked at the receipt I'd taken off Xavier after he'd paid at the last store of the four we'd been in, I'd rushed to follow an
They palmed, groped and explored every part they could while I whimpered and panted between them, my knees shaking as they pressed against me to hold me upright. Dane flashed his tongue across my aching skin, as Xavier's guided my lips open. I gave in, my hips moving back into Dane's and my tongu
