Chapter: Chapter 49 “Sir Sinclair, I’m ready to leave,” I announced courteously, like any respectable guest.The elderly man glanced up and checked the clock beside the door. “So soon?” he remarked.“Yes. I’ve given him a lot to look over. I’m sure the coming weeks are going to be trying for him, but he’s a hard worker and has a sharp mind,” I replied politely.“Yes. He really does,” the father remarked proudly. “Thank you for taking the time. I truly appreciate it,” he continued graciously.Sir Sinclair was a real gentleman.“It’s the least I can do,” I replied evenly, offering a small smile.He stared at me, his own smile receding, his expression tightening. “Leon,” he rumbled.“Sir?” I replied neutrally.“Leon. He is…a problem for you?” he asked hesitantly, like a man who knew the answer to his question but needed to hear a response.“Sir, Leon is a problem for everybody,” I replied casually. “Two hundred million can reduce a lot of pain

Chapter: Chapter 48 Barefoot, he was slightly taller than me. Only slightly.His face said it all. I smiled. “Nothing more,” I repeated calmly. “Just two guys who need each other, from time to time,” I stated smoothly, holding his damp gaze.His eyes were clear. His paleness reduced, but there was a sadness, a doubt.I pushed a little more. “When we talked, over the phone, you said you don’t want anybody to know.”He stared at me.“I thought that was kinda…,” I let my voice drift off. A look passed over his face, like it was about to twist but he had stopped it from doing so.I tilted my head to the side and gave a half-shrug, my move with Marcus when I wanted to get something that was not too serious, but that he was not so interested in giving.“If you need me, I’m here,” I said, with a small smile, holding his gaze. I gave it two seconds, then I turned toward the door.He grabbed my face and kissed me with the force of someone who hadn’t done i

Chapter: Chapter 47 “In that case, you are most welcome,” Sir Sinclar remarked graciously.“Thank you, Sir,” I replied with a light bow. He nodded and was about to turn when I moved forward with an eager step. “Would it be overextending if I asked for a tour, Sir? However brief,” I requested humbly, my hands clasped before me, facing the father.He turned back, a gentle smile on his face. His eyes slid to his son, then to me, “I’m sure Adrian –”“Oh, no, Sir,” I cut in excitedly, taking another step toward the elder. “This is YOUR house, and I am honored to be able to visit. Please, if you don’t mind,” I pressed politely, courteously, my gaze never leaving my client’s.The old man smiled in that way fathers and grandfathers do. The smile of a man who had sons he was not close to, or able to reach the way he would have liked, and was only too happy to engage with males of similar age with his progeny.But usually couldn’t because younger men were not accessible, withou

Chapter: Chapter 46 I had waited for him, gone to battle for him, and here he was, without a worry. He had been fine. I had risked myself, my gang, for him, and what was he saying? What was he doing?Barry bellowed. Shaw cursed. He, my avatar, the only good thing in my world, silently took everything my men, my shields, had to offer. Then, he walked toward the door, toward me, to leave.My guys didn’t give him room to get near me. He glanced at me, and I stared at him, no feeling in my body, but a ringing in my ears. That expression crossed again.I felt ill. Even when bullets flew past my head last night, I had not felt like this.His eyes left mine, and he walked out. Walked away. I watched him disappear. Just as he had from that day when he had gotten in the cab, and I had told Barry to get me everything on Ralis.I watched him vanish from my sight.Barry caught me as the ground shifted.Shaw called for someone or something.I turned back to wh

Chapter: Chapter 45How the fuck was Jay tied to someone with that type of money and access to the fucking government?I get that he’s loaded, a billionaire for fuck’s sake, but how could my guys, even the hackers I paid good money to, not be able to get me any real info on him?And more still, where was Jay? He shouldn’t be running around, not with this fucking bastard with the type of hard-on the fucker had for Jay, in every way that mattered.Had that fucker found him, taken him somewhere? Was he safe, or was he locked in some fucking basement on an island in the middle of nowhere?Such thoughts wailed on me, running through my mind, day in and day out. worse than the early days of Jay’s disappearances. Worse than anything I had felt in over a decade.Then, last night happened. My guys were still looking into what that was and how such an attack had gone down in my place. An army with weapons had gotten into a packed club and shot up the place, with civilians insid

Chapter: Chapter 44When the attackers entered Marcus’ club, my team and I were already inside. It was a regular nightclub. Loud music, dim lighting, lots of drinking, lots of dancing. There were no cameras in the joint, which served my side excellently well.Whatever the results of the night, only eyewitness reports could be made to either side’s bosses.The lights were shut off at exactly 11 p.m., and their plan jumped off.My group was ready.I had gone into the building hours before the attack with two teammates. We had accessed the club through the roof and had stayed hidden until the party started.We were fully covered, with masks on and dressed in black gear from head to toe. Thanks to the build of Marcus’ gang and the men I selected, I wouldn’t stand out.To further hide our presence, my guys released smoke in the room just before we joined the fray. It was something similar to teargas and would cause breathing difficulty for anyone without a gas mask.

Chapter: Epilogue“He has returned,” Tobias rumbled.“Hmmm,” Misha droned.Christmas celebration this year at Bloodrayne was nowhere near as rambunctious as it had been the year before.The atmosphere was muted, and the attendees were much fewer.They were in the same hall, the same location, as they had always used.No prisoners or fights were on display.No omegas were being pushed around.Bloodrayne had lost much more than they could replace in the one year since the attack by the Alpha King’s minions.Plus, Alpha Tobias could not take his father’s warning lightly, so had kept a much tighter leash on his people’s excesses. And his own.Tobias was at the center of the table, Misha was in his usual place, three spaces down from his father’s right.“Shall we send a gift?” Tobias called out casually.“Of what shall we make it, Father?” Misha called back, not really paying attention as he sipped his spiced wine.“You have always pined for the girl, why not go to her?” Tobias stated evenly.Misha turned la

Chapter: Chapter 201Almost a year later, it was the Christmas Eve celebration at Lightmoon.The hall was packed with pack members and guests from far and wide. the pack Alpha, Marian, sat on the dais with the pack mother and Luna, Luna Diane, her mother’s sister, and their two sons.The pack Beta, Beta Brock, was standing behind Alpha Marian.It was almost midnight.Everyone was anticipating the ball drop.A gong sounded, twice.Everyone stared as they knew it was not yet time. Even the gas for dulling scents had not yet been released.The music stopped.The pack door opened, and the tallest shifter in Lightmoon entered the room.All eyes stared.Since New Year’s, few had seen their Alpha’s firstborn, their last Alpha’s firstborn.As they stared, many took sharp breaths.His resemblance to their former Alpha, Alpha Dax, was undeniable. However, he had a powerful presence of his own.His ey

Chapter: Chapter 200By afternoon, drinks and other foods, both raw and cooked, were coming in from neighbouring packs.It was the first time such had happened, but no shifter alive did not know that Lightmoon had taken many hits since Christmas, and had taken bold steps in defending the entire region.The news of their pack link had spread as well and it was known, and understood, that their pack Alpha was down.The details were unknown, but the sentiments surrounding Lightmoon’s issues were real.People cared.By evening, lights were up.No guests were around. Only deliveries and goodwill messages had been sent.There was no music.People were eating and drinking in muted tones.There was a stark difference between the Christmas Eve party and this one.At midnight, the young shifters who were ready, whose bonds were formed by the moon goddess or by their heart's choice, presented themselves to each other.Those who acce

Chapter: Chapter 199Corien held Reyland’s gaze, breathing calmly.“Calm yourself,” Corien said again, patiently.Reyland’s breathing slowed. His rosy cheeks cleared, his face softened.The young lycan swallowed.“I –” he stammered.“Are angry. Justifiably. Everyone in this room is justified in their anger,” Corien stated calmly.Then, Corien’s eyes snapped to Dax.“What will his punishment be?” Corien asked evenly.Dax stared at Corien.Then at Reyland.Then at Dorien.He mumbled something unintelligible.It was not that no one heard his words, it was that his words had been gibberish.“What?” Corien asked softly.“Tomorrow. Let everything wait till tomorrow,” Dax said quietly, straightening his back.“Doctor Byron,” Dax continued.“Yes, my Alpha,” the elder shifter responde

Chapter: Chapter 198Dax stared at Tobias, then turned and walked away, Brock following closely behind him.Marian stared at Misha as Tobias and Eaden headed into the trees.Backing away, Misha mouthed something to Marian, his eyes never leaving hers.Her eyes filled as he faded into the darkness.Reyland was at her side.She took his hand silently, still facing where Misha had vanished.Reyland turned her around and they left the meeting place, side by side.==========Back at Lightmoon, Dorien was being treated by Doctor Byron. Corien and Gravan were in attendance.The heir had been tortured.There were silver needles, large ones, in his mouth. A spell had been placed on his mouth such that, unless he was awake, his mouth could not be opened.Any attempt to ease his pain with medicine resulted in his lips remaining sealed.Corien, stronger now, and with help from Gravan, used a mind meld to help Dorien heal enough to t

Chapter: Chapter 197Alpha Tobias and Eaden, shifted back to human form.“If it is a parlay you want, then let us have it,” Misha announced calmly, stepping back from Marian.Marian heard the emptiness in his voice.Her hand dropped and she inhaled quietly through clenched teeth.Misha stopped his retreat, his eyes on her face.She blinked and raised her chin slightly.It was not that Marian did not want Misha to leave. It was that he was Misha. He was like nothing and no one she had ever met.Misha backed further away, and suddenly Reyland was behind him.“What, cousin? Could we run from you if we tried?” Misha droned, his eyes on Marian, his head slightly inclined backward toward Reyland.Marian eyed the two. It was an interesting view.Misha was about six-four. Reyland was six-eight.Misha was as sleek and trim as ever. Reyland was thicker and wider than him.Misha was sultry and sensual down t
